  1. the lots of trouble usually serious came from a guy i was in college with, his old man had bought one and in the first 12 months of ownership it spent 9 months with the dealer attempting to fix problems............. fair play he got a complete refund!
  2. i thought that lotus stood for Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious
  3. test drive one!!!!! i bought my one after 200yards!!!! fecking amazing 2 years later i can think of no other car i would change it to.
  4. i think that it is called a parallel import rather than a grey import, motorpoint imprted alot of there imprezas from malta. warrenty date can be a bit of minefield as they only have a 2 year one although it may be 3 years but from point where car was first registered in malta before coming over here. i looked at one 2 years ago.
  5. aye watch out at halfords were a million miles out when getting some made up for stone chips on my wr1 used it to paint the rear hubs instead
  6. i thought you were going to say lotus carlton. i like the astra coupe i have one to dotter about in with the red leather as well
  7. eagle eye........ i didnt realise that is what they were being called, i had heard another few names
  8. the devil you know or the devil you dont, i have never owned a classic impreza but i have a wr1 and love it!!
  9. i think i am going to put in a few more fixings although it has held up to 170 odd really good makes the front end look a bit meaner as well
  10. looks like HT autos. really good value and if you tap the kerb it sticks out so protects the cars main bodywork!
  11. just got a set of performance friction pads for my wr1 so far really good got them from AS performance you will find there details on wr1oc 120 quid for a set of front gold brembros
  12. sounds like a rear strut dude think there is a thread somewhere on sidc on changing the grease in them. if not new one is required
  13. what is the average price to do a set of wheels? i was thinking of getting mine done black
  14. mint car dude but i am also biased first time i have seen one with white wheels looks good thats a hell of a good price to get that for!!!! i have a set of OZ ultralegerras that i put on in the summer (as they are a pain to keep shiny) if you want the prodrives there are always sets going somewhere. i am thinking of getting my pff 7s powdercoated black to bring out the brake colour a bit.
  15. my wife gets the same sort of hassle and "oh he lets you drive it" i do find it amusing but she feels everytime a boyracer/ bloke.... sees her of try to "race her" she has to prove herself as if not the will say/think, look what a waste of a WR1, woman driving it and not able to use it.......either that she is using it as an excuse to boot it.
  16. i have seen a few around stirling, always give a wave!! i was going to add to the count but decided to keep the wr1 for now
  17. anyone at the doune hill climb the day, i went up early afternoon and some very nice metal giving it beans. cracking day for it perfect weather!!
  18. jesus, thats terrible!!!! really sorry to hear, i really hope you luck changes
  19. its also great for removing/preventing hydrates we use it offshore
  20. cod 4 and 5 are great xbox for me but it is addictive as hell you "loose" half a day when you start to play it
  21. tell him to fill his tank!!! you run on fumes...... everylittle helps
  22. my wr1 has it, i took it to a large car park to have a play and never noticed a massive difference although it was when i had just got the car so not used to it anyway. mine stays on auto 99% of the time anyway i would not let it put you off buying an impreza
  23. i think that there stuff in pretty overpriced!
  24. i hated the astra i drove one a few months back and was not keen at all, the white limited edition one did sound really good it had a remus?? exhaust. but was not keen on the drive. not even close speed wise to a wr1, but there was some really good deals on it thats why we had a look still got the wr1!! the st focus is a far better car than the astra, the civic type-r is better as well
  25. i never fill her up too much weight!!! keep her at half a tank saves about 25kg in the back!!! when i got her i got a 14-17 average lowest was single figures but i dont tend to drive like miss daisy i have it for fun nothing else i take my other car out for shopping runs.
