Hi everyone. Happy new year. Another great video. Can anyone please share what the pitfalls of the Impreza are. My daughter is going to look at a 2002 bug eye next week. It seems to have had the rear subframe and bushes done but I know nothing about them 🤷

Needs to be a well maintained car,they do haveany problems but if you look after them,they'll look after you as they say,rot and abused engines seem to be the common issues.

Keep up the good work Sion (and crew), you've done a great job this year, and thank you also for supporting my channel too. As for content ideas, you can't tell us that you've just finished that Impreza and then not show it to us properly, so that should be the next video!

A video covering the class structure around rallying in the UK and a read through if possible of the year book as for my self i've read through a couple of times and cant make head nor tail of it, if there's anyone else in the same position as me who is looking to build a stage car to go out and have some fun it would be very helpful.

Great memories. 20 odd years ago I had a grey import 2 door which had been heavily fettled with before it had left Japan. Loved it to bits but it's the shortest time I've ever kept a car - it was either keep the Impreza or keep my licence. I sold it after a few months and replaced it with an aging 928 which actually slowed me down.

I have become Subaru obsessed in my old age. I have a 2002 WRX that I blew the engine in 2012 at 170,000 hard miles. I finally got a engine in 2019 and started redoing the whole thing. Engine, suspension and paint. I bought a 2009 Forester X to daily while working on the WRX but ended up modifying it for street duty. It has coilovers and every adjustable aftermarket suspension part that will fit a STi. Next is a EZ30 swap, STi 6speed and rear R180. A couple months ago I rescued a 2006 Forester that was about to go to the salvage yard. It has 335,000 miles on it and I paid $500 for it. All it needed was a crankshaft pulley and a radiator. It had minor rust so next spring I will drop a JDM replacement engine in it and drive it another 300,000 miles.
@joe94joe17 күн бұрын
Also got a micra thats being turned from a road car to track car to rally car, keeping it tarmac for now but keen to see the spec sheets you talk about? Seems to be quite expensive for a set of gravel suspension, currently on bc coilovers which hopefully last tarmac rallying!
