New Scoob in family Next week.

New Scoob in family. Possible no 56k?

Well, been looking for a new cage for a bit, as I never really wanted to rack up miles on the STi. However due to the disrepect people show when I manage to park my STi anywhere (One coworker backed into it and bailed, and the second tore up the fender at the mall) I had to speed this process up. Was going to try to find something more sporty like an old 240sx or Rx-7, had a lead on a all-trac, but after a while decided I wanted an impreza that we all could drive. So in the end decided to buy a 95 Impreza L AWD, with a scary powerful 1.8.

Hopefully Will make a nice rallyx car on a rare occasion, and hopefuly something even more rallyx orientated built to new SCCA rules when its done in its duty of serving the fam.

On that note, i have a wish list and questions!
Any neat stock parts you guys have that would be considered an upgrade for the car lemme know. Some point some WRX wheels would be nice, but no hurry.

Anyone with exp on belt replacement here, would like to replace all pumps, seals, and belts, prefer not to spend half the purchase price or so paying to have it done, maybe a nice vfaq link?


Thanks!

I have a stock uppipe and downpipe from an 05 WRX as of Saturday. Also have stock wheels.

 

I've got the stock 6cd changer

 

I have the stock sway bars, don't know if they'll fit....

 

If you turbo it I have an 02 TMIC

 

Hey Jason, buy my Protorque TC!!!

You can rip 1.8s 60ft times all day long with it, and it fits all subaru automatics from ever.

 

Thanks for the parts offers guys, no turbo stuff till either the tranny or motor croaks. perhaps a stock wrx suspension may be nice, I havent quite figured out which parts are interchangeable.

GT im not sure the 110hp can push it to a 1.8 60 that the t/c is capable of.


Jason

 

110HP of pure raw FURY!!!!!

 

lol, now that ive thought about that, Im scared to look at the 0-60 on this thing...

 

I have 02 stock springs if needed.

 

Nice, all it needs is a rim/tire combo to look really good. Just drive it like it is and put extra monies to making the fast subi faster. Wonder what kind of mpg you'll get??

 

Thanks all,

Yeah im gonna basically do reasonable mods like a wrx rear sway (Chris?) and ebay strut tower. The seller had a trunk leak, and fixed it with JDM tails, which is somewhat neat. When i do the belt I may chuck this underdrive pulley im not wanting to use on the STi. There is no getting much power out of the 1.8 so modding other than handling is pretty pointless. Im hoping 26mpg avg. Im pretty leadfooted in the other subie, so Ill be pretty happy to let it swill on the cheap stuff and drive something a bit more low key.


On a somewhat related note, and no laughing! I may want to try a diy tint on it, when I told my buddy he gave me some he bought last year, new in box. Anyone done that before? Im defintely not going to pay a pro, if its not possible, just will be non-tinty.

Jason

 

I have tinted Windows before. It's not an easy task, b ut I would be more than willing to help.

 

I helped a friend tint the windows in his ranger. Just take your time and dont use the cheap tint from Wal-Mart and you should be alright.

 

let me know about the rear sway...I just got a new uppipe/downpipe and axel back exhaust, and I also just replaced the stock springs/struts, so If any of that fits...
try to let me know soon, I need to get all that stuff out of my trunk...

 

Hey Chris, if Jason doesnt get your rear sway I'll take it off your hands.

 

10-4 good buddy...

 

May wanna chuck those to GTScoob as im going to be a pretty lagging on the start of the new car it seems and cant seem to leave the blue one alone atm. Anyone need a 20mm front I have in the garage? Thanks for the tips and help offers, Ill be probably asking again soon

Jason

 

I, too, have a stock WRX rear sway and the Stock WRX headunit. The HU is the tape deck/6cd and I would get rid of that cheap ($60ish), maybe even trade for something. I know you said it would be awhile, but I'm not in a hurry and will be keeping the pieces off the rex as I swap them out. Grats on the 20th vehicle (looking at your sig...I can barely deal with two cars...)

 

I could use a stock 20mm rear sway bar for my wagon...anybody...anybody?

 

Oh man...I didn't know the stock 04 sways were 17mm. That sucks, I 'll never get rid of that thing.

 

Ok guys, The rear sway I have is up for grabs, I really want to get it out of my trunk so...someone call me at 404-944-2019 and we'll arrange a meet...

Chris

 

Hey Dave its yours. My post was more wishful thinking. All of my free money is going towards the new tranny.

 

It's free dude, just call me and grab it!

 

Chris are you going to come up to NP tomorrow?

 

hey guys,
Dave, I got your message last night, my cell didn't save your # for some reason for me to call you back.
Gt(I think you name is Bobby right?), I will be going to NP tommorrow night, At this point I think dave has dibs on the bar since he called me first but...Dave, if you show up to the meet tommorrow its yours and if not Gt you can have it.. Really just trying to get it out of my trunk...
Hopefully see you guys Tommorrow!

 

yeah its bobby. That plan works.

 

Chris,
Thx for the response. Have to work tonight, so even if you guys get out I can't make it. Sounds like the price fits for GTscoob, so just let me know if he changes his mind, and I'll make the trek to wherever you are for the pick-up.


Hey Genya, is the "new" 95 in the garage yet??

 

Yup I got it back, yesterday evening, the trip was pretty cool, the greyhound bus ride was fun as hell, and the car was perfect on the way back. Overall with it im extremely happy with it, put around 1500 miles with not a bad sound or smell out of it.



Jason

 

Jason, are you still looking for stock WRX wheels?

 

Not at the current moment, but hopefully soon, right now the STi is hogging the funds.

Thanks!

Jason
