My RB5 WR Sport

[jimblive]

I thought I would post some pics of my Impreza.
I gave it a clean yesterday but I got so cold I had to go for a drive to warm up and I took some quick pics while I was out.

That looks stunning and clearly very well looked after too, seeing some of these Imprezas on here, almost makes me want to go and get one but then I see one of the local inbreeders driving around down here with there tarted up things and it ruins it for me, glad to see yours hasn't gone in that direction at all.

nice car! shame about that plastic stripe across the doors. what rubber are you using? yokohama? good luck

[Sim89]

Definately a car I would love to own. Love everything about it. Looks clean and well cared for too!.

[MrBennett]

Best colour

VERY nice RB5 there

[jaik]

Pretty! What's visually different about it to a standard Impreza of that era other than the RB5 badges? It has a bit of a meaner look to it but I can't put my finger on why.

Very,very nice! Nearly bought one of those a year ago, but I had a Civic Type-R to sell and the dealer wouldn't take it as PX.

Is it standard?

[Ecurie Ecosse]

What an awesome car, and it looks like you have kept it in great condition.

RIP RB

Fantastic car Jim (hope to see you and the Scoob tomorrow). These initially caught my attention as my initials are RB

Looks great you are clearly looking after it! Don't like that black plastic strip running along the doors though!

Thanks for the great comments.
It's just about to hit 104k but gets well looked after.
Everything is standard except for a TSL downpipe and AP 6 pots (I have Goodyear F1's on at the moment).
The rub strips on the side were a dealer option and since it's a daily drive it needs all the help it can get from parking dents so they are staying on.
Only real body difference from a UK turbo is the rear wing, since it's a WR Sport version of an RB5 it has the higher Prodrive wing. Also the colour will only be on RB5's or imports. Oh yes and the big driving lights, most turbo's have the smaller fog lights.

I'll be there in the morning Robbie, looking forward to seeing your new wheels, bet you can't wait to get it out on a hoon?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how it fares. I'm bringing a friend, but if my bhp/ton suffers too much I may have to shove him out/blag him a ride with Nathan.

I hope the ice isn't too bad though!

Lovely RB, truly a great colour.

My old Impreza wagon had the strip down the side and seriously it may look cack but its a god send in the car parks.

Totally agree, plus the panels are made from tin foil so need all the protection they can get.
