Classic Impreza Turbo

[Burt2000]

I remember being behind you one day years ago on the knock more carriageway and we had a we run up the hill...fit car
I think I met you again another time on the new road up around thaxton and I was in the type r 2 door....great days, wish I still had that car

 

[Gambit]

It's still in lisburn Burt2000, I have had the car since 2004.

2004 that's class proper car to have tucked away
@Burt2000 you should have never sold the ver6 but you know that anyhow nor the turbo2000

@Andy044 look at what you have!!!

 

[Burt2000]

@Gambit your right there man, the type r was the best car I've owned....would be worth a few quid these days

Aye I remember the new road occasion Burt2000, from memory there wasn't much between the two of them. That was a lovely Type R you had.

 

[Gawley20]

@Gambit, yeah I'm glad I held onto it. I have had loads of offers to buy it while it's been in storage but just couldn't sell it, it was my dream car when I was younger and couldn't believe my luck when I was able to buy and insure it. It's been in storage for nearly 5 years which seems to have prevented the normal rot on this shape, it will need a few bits tidied on the body but the underside seems to have a clean bill of health.

 

[Burt2000]

my turbo 2000 was around 260-270bhp, exhaust and remap, but the type r was a good bit sharper as standard, it would pull away from e46 m3's without much trouble.....is you car standard apart from just an exhaust? It goes well from what I remember

 

[Gawley20]

Found a pic of it with the old wheels on it just before I put it into storage.

 

[Gawley20]

@Burt2000 yeah it would have just had the cat back and a panel filter then. Your type R just sat on my tail from memory although maybe your weren't trying . Is it still about that Type R.

 

[Burt2000]

Yeah the type r wouldn't have been any slower than my recent turbo 2000 that had a genuine 330bhp or so
Turbo 2000 Classic Impreza - after a detail

I sold they type r must have been about 6 or 7 years ago to a fella called Warren out near Carrick, as far as I know he still has it. I asked to buy it back a couple of years ago but he wouldn't part with it

 

[Turks]

Looks well really like these. I've one myself sitting taxed and insured and hasn't moved in about 5 weeks lol.

 

[Gawley20]

@Burt2000 was just reading through your Impreza thread there, that was a beauty you had there, such a shame you had to sell but kids come first no matter what. It was very clean, much cleaner than mine. Could you be tempted back to one again

Thanks Turk's. Taxed and insured and your not driving it? Get it out for a run

Yeah definitly I'll always love a clean classic Impreza.

 

[BrookST]

That's a blast from the past, seen this in Lurgan park quite a few years ago, worth keeping surely, class

Hope you get back into one soon Burt2000, your obviously able to find good ones.

Yeah that's right, think I was there with my mate Eddie and his UK300, he still has it too.

 

[Andy044]

@Andy044 look at what you have!!!

Yep and no intention of selling it either lol.
Must get it out again, haven't had the chance to get it out recently, and its taxed and MOT'd ffs!

I do indeed, its not in as good condition as yours is. I had to treat the rear arches this year.

 

[Gawley20]

@Sonny that's great thanks, I will try my best to join yous.

 

[Gawley20]

@Andy044 tour car looks great there, crackin picture too. I'm sure it's just as clean as mine, my rear arches are just starting to show a bit of bubbling under the paint so will need to get that sorted.

 

[Sonny]

@Sonny that's great thanks, I will try my best to join yous.

I will be in the Hawkeye Wagon
