My friend just had someone run into the back of her car and needs some Subaru parts. Anyone know any Subaru wreckers? I need some names ASAP!

It's a 2004 Impreza RS.

I just read that wikipedia entry...

an AWD IS250 with a 2JZGTE swap would be kinda cool.... hell even just straight RWD with the swap would be cool. Not feelin the regular versions... you could buy a V36 for half the price and get pretty much the exact same car.

usa gets awd is350 which is turbo (i think)? something special about it other than AWD

don't think so. not many turbo cars in the US pass their smog test. but they make a 3.5l and 2.5l in AWD in japan.

I'm guessing it'll be like the V35 GT-8, which is fuckin awesome for the first 5 mins of owning one, then you start feeling hardgay cos you have a CVT and a heavy car... so you get up to 100k/h and flick down through all 8 virtual gears to pleasure yourself by pretending you're a shit hot F1 race driver coming into a hairpin, but then cry yourself to sleep, cos that's all your car does well.

nga please. no spacers. i was thinkin of those fender flares though.

need to find a set. saves me having to roll my fenders out.

dunno if that fender flared look will suit the R32 bodykit I'm putting on either.

I'm 99% convinced to go clean and shave the rear etc with an R32 bumper and a Ford FG falcon skidplate mod.

Actually make that 100% convinced cos I already paid for an R32 bodykit.

Hmm sent a letter to EPA asking for warning/extension as I was overseas for business for a month... It's been 4 weeks since letter sent and haven't heard anything. Not sure if I can drive the car or not :P useless hippies. Will call them I guess

Sooo...

Got flashed by a speed camera for the first time in around 7 years, so is it easy to get a "official warning"? I was around 15km/h over the limit. I swear they have changed the speed limit on Fitzroy St from 60 to 40 recently.

Piss easy. Admit fault, say you weren't aware of changed speed but is not an excuse as I should be aware of speed limit at all times. You wish to appeal for a formal warning as it is your first offense in over 7 years and wasn't intentional.

Sign, send and wait for response. Done

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
