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.

Edited by jezza boii

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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
