Default Hi all
Hi all, i'm new on here.
I recentlly bought a standard (except 17" wheels) my99 wagon.
I first drove an Impreza in about 2000 at a preveous job, where we drove tuned turbo cars everyday.
I was so impressed by the standard Impreza that day, not because of the power, it had less power than most of our customers cars, but because of the whole package- the way they handle, the way they put the power down, feedback, weight etc
So i've finally got one
I've spent the last couple of weeks sorting little niggles out, freeing off the 4 pot calipers(will have to rebuild properly soon), fitting a standard set of springs (fronts were way to high, rears were low), cam belt changed, new o2 sensor
The next thing i need to sort out is tyres- Landsails on the front and Autogrips on the rear- in the wet this is not a great combination!

Peter

Welcome along nice to see another classic owner, we're a dying breed. Freeing up 4 pots is a regular job, I seem to get at least one sticky piston a year and mine are stainless.
