Subaru Impreza Buying Guide
by Lexusboy, 03-06-2018, 07:23 AM
If you want one of these high performance vehicles then please get some help when purchasing them as these can be a very expensive vehicle to run.
By doing it right could save you many hundreds of pounds.
All ways were possible buy these from a dealer who specialised in this sort of vehicle and can offer you a worth while warranty
As many have been up graded with many different modifications things light bigger brakes exhaust Suspension.
Take care when making a purchase of any performance car as these can often be expensive mistake if you do not done your homework.
When Choosing your Impreza decide what you want the car for a fairly standard STI can make a very good daily drive but if you want a track car then maybe the type RA Should be your choice.
Classic impreza can be bought for under £3500 £5000 should find you a good quality example.
Remember if you are buying a heavy modified car these can be a mine field so get a Subaru specialist to check the car out for you.
The STis have uprated engine internal they still need to be cared for Oil changes should be carried every 7500 miles remember to change the spark plugs breke fluid transmission and diff oil every two years or 24,000 miles.
The cambelt should be changed every 45,000 miles.
When stopping please allow the turbo to cool down before turning the engines off (you can add a turbo timer)
Boost gauge should read between 17 or 18psi.
Cluches have been know to go as little as 40,000 miles clutch judder is common when these cars are cold.
Most owners change their exhaust even when they can last for many years, so make sure the cat is present or you will fail your MOT.
Check tyre wear for even wear or the car geometry my need looking at.
Most Impreza are not undersilled so check thoroughly for corrosion.
Interior are very plastic but wear very well and electric on the whole are very good.
Check these cars for panel damage because these are the sort of cars that have been in crashes and could have been repaired.
A hpi vehicle check is highly recommended when purchasing along with a Impreza specialist checking over your purchase.

Mitsubishi Evo Buying Guide

If you want one of these high performance vehicles then please get some help when purchasing them as these can be a very expensive vehicle to run.
By doing it right you could save yourself many hundreds or thousands of pounds.
All ways were possible buy these from a dealer who specialised in this sort of vehicle and can offer you a worth while warrenty
As many have been up graded with many different modifications things light bigger brakes exhaust Suspension.
Also remember that you will always pay more for a FQ as this has more power than the low powered 260 bhp version
The RS version give a very hard daily drive so think about what you want from a evo before buying one.
A full service history should be a must and check with the dealer that have stamp the owners book.
The Evo are very expensive to insurance so add this into your budget along with service costs
Make sure the cars have the cat fitted or you will fail your MOT.
Evo 46g3 units are very tough as long as they are serviced Oil changes are done at 4500 miles with plugs and timing belts done every 45,000 miles.
Evo standard boost pressure is set at 1.2 bar for the Evo IV and just under 1.0 bar on the early Evo 1>3
Always stay away from a car that dash board light stay on as every light in this area should be off when pulling away from stand still.
Most Evo clutches are not very strong and can wear out quickly.
Gearboxes can also wear out and can be difficult in 1st 2nd and 5th gear and watch out for the gearbox whining. And as you're already guessed are not cheap to change.
Evo have had recalls over the years so please check that they have had all outstanding work carried out by chatting with your dealer.
LSD Can also cost a lot to repair upwards of £1800
Also check that the ACD PUMP is working properly it should have a green light when switching between snow/ gravel and tarmac.
Check tyre wear for the car geometry all tyres should wear even.
Break fluid should be changed every 18,000 miles most EVO have had their brake up graded so have them checked.
Rust can be found on the boot lids and suspension first so this should be your starting point when checking for rust.

Mazda MX5 MK1 Buying Guide
by Lexusboy, 03-06-2018, 05:49 AM
As with All cars First check that the person selling the car is allowed to sell it and as all the cars documents such as Log book and Mot papers.
It would be nice to see a service history with the car as well.
It is always worth phoning a dealer to check that they have carried out services if they have stamped the book.
Also worth Running a HPI on the car to check if the car has out standing Finance or been damaged at some point.
Check Log book with chassis numbers, the numbers can be checked in two place on the mx5 first look at the bulkhend of the engine and also where the break master cylinder is there is a Plaque, check that these numbers tie up the same.
On this plates your also find the car colour code.
Check panel alignments' are even through out the car the only ones that are some times out are the ones around the head lights.
Check lower sills the place on the sills that go normally first are the sill behind the rear wheels.
Rust can also be found on the A piller more so if the windscreen has been replaced at some point.
Many version of mx5 can be found on our roads from the UK model through American and Japanese version.
The Japanese version's are supplied with a auction sheet and are normally graded from one to five, five being the best grade.
If you are looking for a Japanese version I would suggest a grade four car is as good as you get…
Mechanically listen when the car starts for excessive tappet noise also check for blue smoke from the exhaust.
Continue with Oil and water checks the oil should not have a mayonnaise look under the filler cap.
Water should not have any oil found in it.
Clutch travel should find its biting point around mid way if the biting point is much lower then you may need a new clutch.
Older version can be that much harder to slot into 1 & 2 gear.
The radiator can go on the top plastic edge so look around the filler cap area for cracks in the plastic.
While inside the car check that the air con blows out nice cold air.
Check the windows electric most models have electric windows there are two versions a one touch system along with a push pull system.
Both head lights should pop up together, if one quicker than the other then the linkage could be worn.
Check the roof for splits or damage, also check for water marks inside the car as this could show a leaking roof.
The hard tops and the hood covers were extras on this cars and it would be nice to find these with your car.
These cars have negative camber this normally causes un even tyre wear and can cause the car to shudder around 60 mph range.
This can be sorted by a visit to the clubs Sponsors Wheels in Motion that can put this right.
For the best wheels sizes it is recommend that you use 14" and 15" wheels.
Finally if you are unsure on your purchase then why not ask a professional body like the AA or RAC to run over your purchase.
The club is not responsible for your purchase and this is just a helpful guide.

Next wash and dry your wheels .
Now for a product to protect your wheels, I used Rim Wax.

Apply using applicator pad
![[Image: P1010229.jpg]](http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn9/moleypics/P1010229.jpg)
Just give them a good coat with the wax.

once you have done this to the inside and outside of the wheel buff off with a microfiber cloth.

stand back and admire your work knowing that your wheels are now protected from brake dust and road salt.
This should last you a good 6 months and only takes an hour to do .
