    Good morning everyone Im currently on my way to have a look and tet drive and hopefully buy a 2001 impreza wrx wagon it's not quite standard it has got s/s exhaust dump valve remap a induction kit and a 30mm drop on tein suspension is their anything I should be looking of iv never had a impreza before. According to current owner it has been serviced every 3/4k miles full history just had a new gearbox due to 3rd and 4th synco fault car has done 118k but looks tidy and guy seems genuine but who doesn't when trying to sell something also comes with morette lights and oil and filter redy for next service. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks Lee

    Hi Lee

    Welcome to LADS bud, I'm not the expert on the WRX newage, having owned only two classics, but check service history, where's it been done, if it's any of our sponsors on here it should be ok and I'm sure they can help you out if they know the car?

    Rust area's around the rear arches, although that was more commonly known with the classics in some cases.

    Most WRX's are pretty sound, good luck and get some pics up if you buy?

    I'm sure someone with a lot more knowledge than me will be along to help out to

    Cheers everyone.

    I'm new to petrol turbo cars is it worth fitting a turbo timer.

    I would say no Lee. Just warm up and cool down sensibly before and after any heavy right foot action.

    If its got the original factory speakers then that's definitely a worth while upgrade to put on your list. The factory speakers were rubbish.

    Alot of people have commented on liking them, I need to figure a better way of attaching the steadying bars which are attached to bonnet at the minute . Their good on unlit country lanes 140 watt each lamp :)
