I'm about £450-500 a month for fuel , luck the company pay's it.

Thanks to the way Mr Taxman works things out it only costs me £100 extra in tax a month for all my personnal mileage.

A sensor would be more than likely be lack of power rather than drive, the lack of acceleration as Al says would indicate the clutch.

Had clutch judder on my Sport and the STI, common problem when the clutch is near the end of it's life. If your changing the clutch it's also worth getting the flywheel checked at the same time.

Have heard of people trying to clear the judder by doing a launch a 5k revs but not sure if it works, probably just kill the clutch a bit more.

Unfortunely Craig is right, turbos and sports are very different.

23rd March 2006 is the cut-off date, unfortunely mine was register 31st March 2006.

Annoying thing is they brought in the rules after I bought mine.

although arent all hatches driven by learners? certainly looks like it by the driving standards

The Mods will be after you for that statement.

Hi and welcome, good choice of car.

Hi and welcome, loads of info if you have a search but if you can find what you need just ask.

Good to see another blue member, see you Thursday,

Hi and welcome, nice looking car.

Hi and welcome, post up some pics of the car.

Glasgow meets are 1st Thursday of the month, next one is June which is the annual BBQ.

Good choice Kim, enjoy. Completely different drive to a classic.

Looking good, with my BC's I started at soft and set them all at about 10 clicks then took it for a drive to see how it felt. Just kept going out until I was happy with the feel.

BC on the classic are set up in the 20's but that's for track use.

Paul, I got caught out with this last month when I answered a topic, posted .net but came up .co.uk. We'll get it switched off.

As for the deleted post don't know why it was deleted, a message should have been sent to let you know why. I'll do a bit of digging and let you know.

Sorry for the hassle.

Sorry to hear your selling up, hopefully you'll be back in the future.

Sad news. Thoughts go out to all his family.

Hi and welcome. Nice looking wagon.

Glasgow meets are 1st Thursday of the month if you want to come for a chat and a run.

Not a problem, Cathy is breaking a WRX might be worth seeing if the loom would be suitable.

The logbook is about the only thing that will give you information on the car. The model number shows it is a JDM 4dr WRX and the engine indicates it is a 1994cc DOHC 16v turbo but with out the import documents you will not find anything before when it was imported.

As for the problems I would get the car to a garage quickly as a Check Engine light could indicate a major problem. It sounds like the car hasn't been mapped for UK fuel nor was it converted properly to drive in the UK.

The best advice I can give is take it to a Subaru specialist and let them give it a full once over that way you will get a better picture of what is wrong and needs done, a rough cost and then you can decide whether to keep it or not.

Hope there's nothing to serious and once fixed you can enjoy Impreza ownership.

Good write-up, was planning refurbing a set this summer so some good tips for when I do.
