How could we ever forget you mate

Nice to see you back. How the Impreza drive compared to the old Skyline ?

They're different in all aspects... sound, power delivery, grip, handling/cornering etc.
its nice to be back in a car u get waved at by other owners :-D. .

I prefer the straight six sound but dont miss the cost of parts!

Having not driven too hard yet I would say its like a front wheel drive car when pushed into a tight corner but u get a bit of lift-off oversteer like a Peugeot or my audi A4 t.
being smooth into a long corner gives lots of grip though.
not had much rain yet to see the difference in those conditions yet.

very keen to get back onto the track gareth......

You lazy bastard, and for two reasons.......
1) You link you sodding build thread to another forum rather than copying and pasting it, or even writing it afresh

2) U?? U?? You text talking MOFO........you may have been away but I still detest text type

Love the car. I always love classics. I always found mine were just as fast in the wet as they were in the dry, but then both were blessed with decent tyres. Crap tyres makes for plenty of understeer and usually into a ditch

Are you intending to most of the mods yourself?

Ha ha lol soz stu ( pmsl )
Apologies for lazy link but my laptop is crap and I mainly use my phone for t'internet so copy and paste wasnt possible.

just wanted to keep you guys abreast ( ooerr ) of whats going on..

I plan to do as much as I can except mapping ( crappy laptop and not too good at soldering lol )

I plan on using the speedlines for track so undecided on quality of tyre for track... 17's for road will have a better quality...

Looks nice Jimbob

Huge bang for buck as long as they don't bite you with bills. If you need advice getting the sticker residue off, let me know
