Used to work for Audi, and all I can say is that everytime I pushed START the roar of the V8 gave me a poke-hardy. The power and the grip is immense just like the Impreza but it really does feel a lot more special than our Jap machines. RS4 for me, its just unfortunate they didnt get the balance right on the original MK1 Avant RS4 because what a beast that Bi-turbo was!

they should come next week gordon, saw a set on a car at the mcrae gatherig & fell for them. managed to track some down... mmm
doh i'll try upload the pic this time
Yeah I saw them on a black classic at the Gathering. Schweeeet rims!!
-
Not sure if its the same car, but an 04 STi Forester is for sale round the corner from me in Barrhead. It looks an absolute corker!
-
Have you not got this done yet!? Order the one you fancy and bring it down to me to fit. If paintings an issue then 55 quid is way more than enough, pair of wing mirrors costs 35-40 quid so doubt it'll cost more!

I like how he'll take an E46 M3 Cabriolet in "PART EXCHANGE". Decent ones are still going strong at 20k!

Glad you approve Richie!! VF35 ahem?!

Well here they are, better late than never. Loved every minute of the weekend, I wish I could do it all over again but unfortunately I cant! Hope you enjoy the snaps half as much as I did taking them, think Richie had said in total I had taken 500 odd!? All thanks go to Colin...

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, had a wee think about all this over the weekend and decided that its a go-er. Just wondered being a complete novice with all this, what ancilliaries am I gonna need as I suppose when they say "Engine" they really just mean the block. Any help would be really appreciated!
Also while Im at it, what parts are best uprated/replaced before the engine goes in?!
-
s reg will be version 4 that engine is either version 1 or 2 so heads and inlet requiring changing to suit coilpack not indivial coils
Thats good to know, although Im not 100% sure as to whether the car is an S-Reg or not. Fingers crossed its a bit older and no mods are needed to drop it in! Just need to start looking for ancilliaries now and a full SS exhaust.

but might want extra 2-300 quid if not getting a return unit
Have a read below bud and see what you think. This one is for a WRX engine, which the car Im looking at originally is.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA-LEGAC...86.c0.m14.l1318
In my opinion it only says in the listing (which is a contract) that warranty will be void. Whatd you reckon?
-
they might want an old engine in return ?
Completely right, but is it worth voiding a warranty by not sending a return unit?!
-
if you a hand in doing it, give me a shout
Excellent! Had a look online (ebay) and theirs a company selling reconditioned STi engines for 995. Scam or worth it?
-
Has ECU, starter etc. Also has G/Box and Diff. Unshure as to version, but I have a funny feeling its an S registration, although I'm not toally sure. Going to see it Monday.

Silver BMW 5 series has glasgow audi plates on it and another has arnold shark plates on it.Sometimes have extra antenna behind shark fin on roof.
It must have been involved in a smash already then, becuase it didnt have the plates on before. I used to work for Glasgow Audi, and know that the bodyshop is where the police take their accidents.

it's easy enough
So car is gone, but managed to find another one down at Scottish Scoobie breakers in Paisley. £600 for the car with no engine, but the rest is STi wagon spec. Now looking for an engine, whats the best bet for the car if you were on a tight budget. STi?!
-
There is also a silver saloon stalking the M8 near city centre and M77 with no extra aerials. Plate unknown, just watch out for rear windows without stickers and regi plates with no franchise markings i.e Henry Bros.

Dropping engine is realtively easy to do. Some of the bolts are a little akward but not an issue if your so so with a spanner. Have you got a place to do this?.... on the street is not really much fun especially if its pishin' doon ;(
Yeah I have a workshop down in Inchinnan, one farm up from where AVA is. Im an apprentice Ag engineer, so plenty of tools as well!!
-
Where do you live dude?
Live in Barrhead just outside Paisley!
-
Spotted a Wagon in the "For Sale" section that scientific steve is selling. How difficult is it to drop a flat four in, and is there someone on here who is a dab hand at it that fancies making some cash?
Fingers crossed the cars available.

I can't believe that when I was filling up recently and I noticed V-Power was something like 122p
I actually thought, 'Oh, that's cheap'!!!
because it was a few pence cheaper than last time.Can you remember when we broke the pound for the first time!?
Oh to go back to those days!!
Morrisons near Ardeer where I was working this morning. 95 RON was 110 a litre. Think I wet my drawers when I saw it! Sorry state of affairs eh...

Been working in Dalkeith for a week and spotted a few Imprezas, although one Sonic Blue Newage grabbed my eye as it had a McRae gathering sticker on its bum!
Replacement Key
in Scottish Scoobies
Posted
I tale it the car has no immobiliser hence the simple key?! Subaru do a chipless key for £22, just need the VIN etc of the car. Bought mine from a Subaru garage in Eaglesham.
