Modifying a 1.6 GL Impreza

[mazheriqbal_mohammed]

Hi folks, been a while since i last posted anything but thought i would pit yer brains a bit!

 

<>A
mate of mine has a classic 1.6 GL Impreza and was after improving the
looks and performance (if possible []). We were wondering if body
parts of any of the classic turbos would fit onto his Impreza? Has
anyone tried or seen this done? Also are there any performance mods
that would fit onto his scooby ie induction kits, exhausts, etc?

I
have tried to convince him to buy a turbo Impreza but he is after a
fuel economical, turbo looking scooby (for now at least []). So
suggestions please.....

buy a turbo lol

Performance wise, don't bother, unless he fits a full turbo engine and running gear.

 

Looks, he can make it look like a turbo no problem. Ebay has loads of uses. []

Hey there.

You can get performance exhaust manifolds, exhaust systems/back boxes for the 2.0L Sport. Im sure you could get something for ther 1.6

Turbo front brakes fit on, so long as you up the wheel size.

Front bumper and bonnet swaps would give the turbo look.

Interiors can be changed too. A full interior can be had for anything from £50-£250

I would say that a good start would be factory Turbo wheels, front bumper and bonnet, followed by the interior then a custom made back box.

Not forgetting that all important rear wing to finish her off.

as jamie has said, rear spoiler - either low, mid or high --- dependant how high you want.

btw got a spare low one (black).

i have a few bits for sale if you wish to look.

 good luck, its addictive

Thanks for the suggestions folks and cheers for stating what we were all thinking Acid []

When i was up at AWD on Friday they
reconed that all the body parts should be a straight swop as for engine
mods many of the 2.0L sport should be compatable. My mate was pretty
chuffed to hear it although nothing beats the grunt from a turbo'd
scoob  []
