Hi everyone, about time I posted here, bought my first Subaru a few months ago. It's a 2006 2.5 sti type uk PPP
I got it in the North, it was imported there from England last summer. Currently on 83k miles. I has a full folder of service history and receipts which was a big deciding factor in buying this one. Also had a massive service a few thousand miles ago, with the head gasket, timing belt, all fluids etc. being done.
I'm absolutely loving it, it'll be my daily driver for the foreseeable future. It sounds mental but I could never drive something boring! I had a Corsa OPC before this so the Impreza is a nice upgrade.
Mods, it has none. Well, it had coilovers and a dump valve, but I got stock STI suspension for it and recirc valve. I prefer it stock I think, they're perfect as they are.
A few small things to be sorted, locking it with the button on the key sets off the alarm, there must be a problem with the bonnet sensor or something as the door open light doesn't stay on. Also recently it's intermittently getting a code P0345 for the cam position sensor where it will start spluttering, but clearing the code lets it run perfectly again. Otherwise running absolutely perfectly, no smoke, oil burning etc.
Also I'm thinking I should probably get it mapped for our crap fuel? As the PPP brochure states it should be run on 97RON.
It's on English plates until the VRT centres open up again. I'm based in West Cork and Clare, looking forward to seeing all your cars when meets get up and running again.
Anyway, some pictures:
