Arrr, Don't Thing I Can Do It !!!

Do really need to get rid of the Impreza and recoup some money before it breaks again, and it will. But I just cant bring me self to do it. I do love that car. After driving round in a 1.2 Corsa all last week getting the Impreza back yesterday made me realise how much of an amazing car it is and how much I really don't want rid. Any how here's my rear diff after Santa Pod, notice the nicely striped planet gears which are in the bottom of the box, thing I have done quite well. And the only Vid I got from Santa Pod when I managed to kick me lass out the car to take it.

poor diff proper fooked

I understand your dilemma mate, the thing is your car will be ultra reliable when it is treat with a degree of mechanical sympathy

crazy sidesteps, drag racing doing run after run and traffic light launches WILL break it and 99% of all other cars on the road too.

My advice is "treat it like a lady, not a whore"

if you sell it be prepared to lose a fortune and you will be wanting another one or something just as expensive to run in a few month.
thats what happened to me.
keep looking at audi and bmw diesels even though they look nice and are probs quite quick they just dont float my boat.
i always regret selling quick cars.rs turbo, cosworth,200 sx, impreza had a cheap runabout inbetween all them and got fed up straight away.

look at your finances and if you are comfortably affording it then keep it. the odd bit of money here and ther is only the same as you will probably loose while changing from car to car trying to find one your happy with!

Never had a car longer than 14 months before buying the red one. Now I'm infected I cant see myself in anything else. Tried a few others recently, including my neighbours M3, but it just feels wrong. Ive watched so many other people on here and other web sites go through the same dilema as you and I think on average about 75% of them end up buying another scoob after 3-6 months. Sure you could wander to the dark side and get an Evo, which is comparable, but even the people who've done that end up coming back.

Ive had mine 6 yrs this year and just keep giving it a little tickle now and again to keep it fresh. Yes its given me some grief here and there but its given me ten times the pleasure back and I think you know yours will too. As Hardy has said, if you can afford it then I'd keep it, coz your changeover costs will be where you really lose out. Only thing I'd add is if you do hang on to her, try showing her a bit more love rather than taking her up the arse all the time.

keep the car m8 like KGT and others say just treat it good and it won't break.

110% agree with jonny,people forget they built as a family/performance car not as rally/drag/track car,

If i was you i'd change my driving stile not the car

I think your all right, just cant help me self. Cant put it up for sale till I get back from me holiday so if I do it will be July 25th at the earliest, probably definitely talked me self out of it by then lol.
