Time to say Goodbye to the IS200

by Cous3, 21-11-2018, 06:16 PM

Well I've finally decided to sell the IS200 that I've owned for the past 5 years, quite a few of you have seen her either at the Ace or via pics of little bits I've done to her. I have to say the IS200 has been an excellent car, has NEVER let me down and has been a total pleasure to drive and own. Here's a quick pic of her as she will soon be up for sale:

And here is my new car, you may recognise it as Tango's superb IS250 SE-L.
What an amazing car. Terry has looked her after since he had her from new, he has added tasteful touches that make her stand out from the crowd and she is an absolute pleasure to drive.



So big thanks to Terry and rest assured she is being well looked after.

OK lets all vote to what car we would vote as the best all time Japanese car.

WRX STI Type R - Germany

by GRunner, 20-11-2018, 05:37 PM

So here I will try to post up News about my new Impreza.

First of all, a Picture that shows how I got the car:



It´s a 98 Subaru Impreza WRX Sti Type R

- Forge Blowoff Valve
- Kato Alloy Wheels 18 inch / avon tyres
- Kenwood 2-DIN Radio (Bluetooth, USB etc.)
- a complete closure alarm and immobiliser
- Prodrive suspension
- Brembo Discs
- Enginerebuil done by API



It also has the STI Floormats and factory gauges (volt, oiltemp/pressure and ofcourse Boost)

[IMG][/IMG]

So the first thing i´ve done after it´s arrival in germany was to fit the STI Foglightcovers:



The STI Decals on them will be fitted within the next days.

So, what next ? Yeah that was the question in my mind, but I need a little help with it.
I thought alot about a setup that would fit my needs and was realistic as a student.

Air Induction:

Many discussions about that, so what is your opinion ? Stickin to the original STI solution ? Or an open filter like apexi or anything else ? What do you say ? And where to get it ?
If openfilter, than a solution that works good, nothin just for the look that suffers from hot air. It has to work as "performance" part.

Exhaust System:

Same as Air Induction. Stickin to the nice STi Exhaust ? Or maybe just change decat pipe, uppipe and stick to the STI Catback that is stock ? Or a complete other exhaust system, and then...which one ? Prodrive ? HKS ?
(should then be a little louder than the stock STI but nothing to heavy)

Which would work best ?

And remember..I don´t want to get 400HP or something. Just a faster spool up, a little bit more sound and ofcourse helping the STI to show his true "stock"-power.

I don´t want to change the exterior, as I like the STI-look. So the only planned thing is to get a Version 5/6 rearspoiler instead of my small one.
Maybe some new rims as I don´t like them best. But we will see.

So come on ppl, let me know your opinions and help me showing the germans that subaru is a nice sportcar.

Greetings

René

My new Car - WRX STI Type R 98

by GRunner, 20-11-2018, 01:01 PM

Hey Guys !

Maybe some of you remember me, I´m a 22year old Guy from germany.
Last year i bought the Nissan Skyline R33 from the member Chris (via exotic importz). After driven it for some months we had to see that the car was horrible and that the company tried to fool me. That was pretty bad
They deleted the enginecheck lamp, airbaglamp, catalysatorlamp etc. the car had a huge, irreparable dent unter the car at a mainpart of the chassi and some more thinks. So I decieded to give it away and was lookin for a new car.

After some Months of lookin all over the world, I decieded to buy a Impreza WRX STI Type R from 98. I bought it via Topspec Imports and the car was owned by a Woman in England (maybe anyone knows her ?)

The car was repainted in 2009, became a motorrevision 2010 and since it came to germany we did a full "Unterbodenversieglung/Hohlraumversieglung" (sorry I look for the english word hehe).

It´s mainly stock, just some Rims and a Forge Blowoff Valve.
So maybe someone could help me with the car or someone has some nice parts around ? (or good shops where to get them?) as it is pretty hard to get something in germany.

Here the pics from England (don´t have new ones atm, as the car is still in the garage, waiting to get legalized)
