...? It's the ECU TINTED WINDOWS that entertains me the most. If only it were that easy to upgrade your power by sticking on black film...

Have a look on Glasgow Gumtree and search for Impreza. The cars are a disgrace.

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH Dear http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/41/52428341.html

Cheeky Barsteward, Yeah I'm fairly capable when it comes to choosing upgrades etc. Just cant believe some peoples reactions when I say to them "Yeah mate, your at it with the price". Its as if i've tripped over and slung it in their wife. They honestly believe that when the car is on 70,000 its worth every penny as it was the day it was born, therefore 10 grand for a UK300 Bugeye is a friggin bargain! I reckon we now live in an age where we've become so attached to our beloved cars, that when it comes to sell it, it's as if we're selling a kidney or our first born and become incredibly overprotective. Anyways, rant over! Anyone recommend me a dealership car around and under 10k!? Scoobyseller, are you out there...?

I've never seen such a variation in price for Impreza's as I have with the newages. When I bought my classic it was easy. It just seems as if people are reckoning "Ive got an SS zorst on mine so it must be worth a couple grand more". I understand that highly modified cars, perfromance wise will go for more than the norm but cars that are still pretty standard have such a variation that it seems as if people are just making up prices and saying "Aye that'll do, stick that down". Buying an Impreza should be fun, not ruddy frustrating...might buy an Evo

So ok, Started having a more in depth look at prices and specs of the newages to get a grasp of what their worth. First off I've looked at a 56 Hawkeye WRX Wagon with 29,000 on the clock. Car is absolutely immaculate and at a reasonable price of 9,995. Came home and had a look at Autotrader and theres a very similar 56 Hawkeye WRX Wagon with 65,000 on the clock for 9,995. Now the latter has PPP, but SURELY that does'nt make any sense. I appreciate it has springs, ecu etc etc but in your own honest opinion, if you had both standing together would the lower mileage car need seem more appealing or am I being a complete trumpet...?

Good looking car though, could see why you might want it back.

Oh is that right Jon?! I'll be keeping you in mind then, wanna upgrade a couple of things in my Saab!! Is it mobile stuff you do or work for somewhere...?

Certainly dont recognise it from the club mate, is it a car you used to own and are looking for back!?

Can't speak personally, but the Gaffer at work had it and he could'nt wait to get shot of it. Each to their own though. Can you not get a demonstration of it!? I know they have a full stand at Braehead Shopping Centre just outside Superdrug. Not sure where else will have one if your not from around Glasgow.

Straaaaaange question but does anybody have a house Rabbit AND a Dog. Being a farmer type, moving to the city I bought the other half a Rabbit for the house but I miss having the Dog and must admit, miss the excercise that comes with long walks. If anyone does have both, do they get on OK or does the Dog just fancy ragdolling the Rabbit around the place. I've heard of people having both but never sure that it was a good idea or not.

BOOO!!!

I've never owned a Newage, but when working in the car trade ive driven a hell of a lot and it does'nt feel anywhere near as "raw" as a classic. I'm not far off making a jump into a Newage but it's taken me a long time to make the decision to, as I really dont want to feel disappointed in the sense that they do feel a lot heavier and less fun. As for crash perfromanc. All crash scenarios are completely different, but I can vouch for the classic. If you "plan" on crashing doing a tad over the limit than you should be, then take it from me, they look after you pretty well.

R.I.P Benny. Gone but not Forgotten.

Ring these guys for parts and spares. Used to be in Paisley, now in Old Kilpatrick. http://www.scottishsubarus.co.uk/id6.html

Glad to hear you never paid the asking price! Colour is cracking, once machine polished it'll look incredible. Wheels are a bit different for the type of car, more bling than rallying but they seem to fit in. MON THE WAGONS!

For an engine that was re-built I can't help but think that it was patched up and sold on mate. I suggest digging the throttlebody out and having a proper look. Removing the I/C and a couple sensors, I'm sure there are four bolts that hold it into place. Might want to replace the gasket while your at it. As for chemical metal, its really just for patch jobs and I wouldnt be using it on application that has water pressure underlying. Can you get a picture of it!? If not to upload you can send it to me or I'm sure Big "D"' won't mind you sending it to his mobile, who may be more valuable in this circumstance as he seems to know his stuff Jon. I'll PM you my number and we can maybe go from there.

May have been a fluke but we had an L200 written off due to a pothole at low speed. They put it down to 1 in a million chances, but there was no damage to anything apart from a bent chassis! I do think they look cool as **** with the rig lights on like yours, we had a newer raging bull for a few years without hassle. Allroads are good, when the suspension doesnt decide to give up prematurely. I served my apprenticeship with Glasgow Audi and the Allroads were never out the workshop. Ford Rangers (or Mazda Rangers) are what our salesman use. They scare me a lot on wet roundabouts but the 3.0TDCi that we have gives plenty punch.

Nothing to wirry about mate, just the weather. If it persists when the weather warms up THEN you have a problem haha.

I fitted similar ones to Richies Newage Wagon, but I'm sure he had to lift them a bit when the coilovers went on so the didnt snag on the wheels when reversing. The rear ones were a bit of a pain as his brackets seem longer than yours. I ended up folding it where you have, but then having to fold it back on itself around the plastic.

HAHA yeah i've heard their good at that as well. We had toolchests over the rear wheels so never had too many issues. L200 are bad for it as well.

Depending on how its mapped really, but the larger the turbo the longer it will take to spool mate.

You could buy a cable for a small fee mate, theres lots of websites who sell OBD-2 to USB. These issues should flag up but sometimes its best to just get in there and check them manually.

It is a pain in the ass mate I'm sure. You seem to have a few electrical gremlins if I were honest. The MAF problem will be intermittent as will the coil as it may be damaged but not broken. Crankshaft sensor failure is very possible, it will not read the correct position so will turn over without start. Although a fault would see a violent shutdown of the engine during driving. I wouldnt rule it out.
