Impreza WRX

[AMG]

Yet another Impreza on the site.
Manta sold a few weeks ago, so was on the hunt for something to replace it. Fairly quickly narrowed it down to an Impreza, and the only thing I didn't want was a bug eye. This works well for me, buying a car for wife recently I wanted any colour except silver, and must have leather seats, ended up with a silver car and no leather. So you can guess what I ended up with:

It's a 2002 S202 Spec C, all standard parts apart from drivers seat and DVD player.

Can't get my own pics loaded with my crap Internet connection, so those will have to do for now.

Not registered yet, so have that to sort, and then hopefully get it out for an odd run!

Lovely, health to enjoy.

 

[cormac81]

Yes good man!

 

[NickR]

Nice! Still have a soft spot for the bug eyes after my WRX.

 

[Eager]

Cool. Bought locally ? Remember seeing something similar maybe at Alan McCord ?

 

[KevM]

I overtook that on the way home. I was trying to work out if it was a road car, rally car or alltrak car!

 

[Burt2000]

Great choice, best of the bugs, I’m sure you will have fun in it. Where did you find it? I know of a fella local to you that has a fair few Imprezas and works on them too, he has an s202 on the way as well afaik.

Lovely! Good investment. I always liked the bugeye sti, and that's even more special.

Yeah, bought from Chubby. Couldn't get one imported for the money, and had the advantage of seeing it before parting with money!

You weren't in a white 5 series by any chance?

Few Impreza heads about these parts, had them all tortured!!

Do you know Joe Facchino?

Hes basically my next door neighbour!

No, a grey Superb.

 

[AMG]

No, a grey Superb.

Remember that - as I said to my dad the police are slowing up to take a look!!

 

[KevM]

I had actually typed 'a cop looking Superb' and changed it lol

Was it the F#KD reg 5 series you thought I was in? Its over in the Random uploads thread

Thats it, thought he was into the side of me at one point! Had a laugh at the reg too, followed it in towards Dromara.

 

[Lappintyre]

Bugeye is my favourite model of Impreza & something as rare this is certainly money well spent. Hopefully you will take it out enjoy it on the roads!

lol small world, he has mine in at the minute to fit a timing belt and a load of other stuff before Pete maps it.

Funny he rang me the other night to come up and see the car he had on the ramp. He's some character!

 

[AMG]

Few more pics, and a few of the underside, hard to believe it could be so clean for an 02 car!

 

[Sonny]

How does the titanium exhaust sound?

 

[AMG]

Only really loaded it on and off the trailer so far, not mapped for UK fuel so scared to drive until thats been sorted.

Exhaust does sound good, although I might change the headers to get the proper burble.

 

[Sonny]

Throw super into it and it'll be grand. I've yet to get mine mapped and it's done about 6k so far. It was on the agenda but covid hit.

 

[Burt2000]

Any of mine were always fine with super and NF for years and with full decat too. Current one has been the same for the last 4 years.

 

[Laundrymike]

That's lovely, nice find!

If you're removing that drivers seat...please let me know!!

 

[Eamo_vxr]

That’s tasty! Nice house too!
