  1. i aint never had such a busy social life , and i have certainly never got to know my local petrol station owner , he actually seems pleaased to see me , wonder why that is .
  2. what is the stelvio pass meet or more to the point where is it . tell you what , i didnt realise just how many impreza things go on and until you get one you just dont find out . my missus has onlly just got used to the fact that impreza drivers wave at each other like bikers do , she thought she had got away from all that when i sold mine.
  3. nice one , i av just been and done the dirty deed and spent some money on my tickets and the mornin session on the track . i am really looking forward to seeing all the cars and meeting fellow impreza lovers and maybe getting a few ideas on mods for my car . and last but certainly not least being able to take my car on a track and do over 70 without worrying what is coming the other way or where the nearest camera is .
  4. thanks a lot to you all , u have just persuaded me , not that i needed that much persuading in the first place , i will go and see if i can book the tickets right this minute , hopefully there are some left! tell you what though i know the fuel down wont be cheap as i just went to swindon from home a month ago and it took a full tank each way . but it will be worth every penny.
  5. from experience with the local constabulary on this subject , been bollocked for this before , the rear windows , back and sides , you can pretty much make them as dark as you like as it just makes your car like a van and they dont need back windows . but the windscreen cannot be tinted at all and the front side windows must be 70% light transparent or you can be made to have them removed at the side of the road . but they can only make you remove them if they can prove using a light meter that the windows are breaking the law , and very few coppers carry one of these around with them . as with speed cameras this device has to be tested regularily . hope this helps a bit. p.s. just a note to say , if you use your car a lot at night tinting can be a major pain as you cant see nowt through it especially reversing.
  6. i am new to sidc and am interested in japfest 2005 , i would like to hear from anyone who went to last years to see what it was like and to find out more about the tickets and what they entitle you to . as i am looking to take my missus with me and assume you need to buy a ticket per person and not per car . i am also considering doin a track session as i have never done one before and want to find out if passengers are allowed , if so do i have to get a ticket for them too . also do i get to park with other imprezas in the sidc or do i have to join the club itself to do this . thanks to anyone that can help
  7. amen to that , the only problem is , where the hell do you start first and on a limited budget ebay may get a bit of a hammering , any ideas for performance gains on a budget . good thing is , now i know it is not an sti , it is good as it means it is less likely to be a dodgy car as it all looks about right for a standard wrx .
  8. well there you go that will teach me to read properly in future , cheeers for that . i will have to change my profile now , still good fun at 240 though
  9. the model no is a gc8b48d which according to the faq is 250bhp , also mine has the black interior with red and walnut trim on the center console and dash and not an sti logo in sight , you are right in that it does not have red inlet , if i remember right the ecu code is 2c on it but i will check again later on my break as i am on nights , sad eh .
  10. the one in the picture according to the chassis number and the faq section in this site.
  11. i agree the faq is a good source , but as my missus says i always want more , and i would like to find out as much about my little baby as i possibly can .
  12. i have had a look at that and it is helpfull but i am trying to find out a bit more if i can , according to the faq mine is a 250 bhp version and it is the first appearance of the sti but having looked at other places and talking to a few people there seems to be thing missing ie 4 pot calipers and coded door handles etc but it has stuff like walnut console and nardi wheel and gear knob . and does not have a sti badge or plate anywhere identifying it as a 'special'
  13. i am trying to find out as much information as possible about my classic impreza but as its an import i am struggling , is there any good sources of info on the web that i can tap into , i am looking for specs and interior options and anything else really so i can trace what exactly my car is , ie bhp torque etc and if it is right.
