Hey Guys, selling the wife's car this time around! Rego YEV-34R, 68,000 KM's, 5 Speed Man.

2007 Subaru Impreza R 2.0

This was my wife’s car and was one of last vehicles made of this particular model before Subaru switched to the more inferior and cheaper ‘Hatchback’ model. Unlike the Impreza i version, the Impreza R has the more powerful DOHC 118Kw 2.0L engine. The Impreza R also has the better suspension and larger brake packages (close to that of the WRX) which makes for a much more comfortable, fun and safer drive. It also has the 16 Inch alloy wheels and the Kenwood factory audio system (only available in the later models) which includes a factory Subwoofer, front 2 way splits and iPod connectivity. It also has the usual extras like cruise control, A/C and power windows/mirrors.

Car Details:

1 female owner since new, always garaged and regularly serviced and maintained. It has always been run on 98ron fuel and will get 500km’s per tank in the city and much much more on the highway. It is mechanically in A1 condition and was serviced a couple of weeks ago. It runs like new and everything is in perfect working order with no problems what so ever. A 2 1/4 inch cat-back exhaust has been fitted for better fuel economy, better looks and for a quite yet sporty exhaust note (not your typical blaring WRX sound). The tyres are all in good condition. The car is extremely reliable and won’t disappoint.

$19,500 ONO.

A roadworthy certificate will be supplied with the car upon its sale (certificate will be attained when a deposit is taken to ensure it doesn’t expire). Any inspections/test drives welcome. No swaps or low ball offers please. Selling for financial reasons…

Contact Luke on 0438 481 354 or PM...

Getting back on topic...

$18,500.

I've been driving this car the past couple of months and I actually like it! No I'm not getting soft in my old age! Its pretty much a WRX without a turbo and higher springs. That's it! A great little car around town...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
