Tommy's MY07 Subaru Impreza 2.0 R Sport

 

How long has the car been owned by you?

Since 8th of January 2007.

How was the car sourced?

Bought it new from Carroll & Roche, ordered the car October 2006 for delivery in January 2007

What makes your car so ‘special’ to you?

I have always wanted a Subaru ever since I saw and heard the first one in the mid 90's, its been a dream of mine to own one ever since. The fact that there are not many red hawkeyes around makes it special too.

What does club membership mean to you?

Since i joined up at Japfest 2007 I've enjoyed every minute whether it was online, at a meet or at an event - that's mainly down to the lads, the help, advice and craic is second to none.

 

What changes are you going to make to your car?

Definitely want Brembos all round, then uprated anti rollbars and possibly an STI boot spoiler.
Hopefully a supercharger conversion if I win the lotto!

What are you seeking from your car?

To enjoy it, for it to be individual and to run problem free.

When, if at all, will you replace your car?

Will never sell this car! Might buy a classic STi when funds allow.

Is there anyone you would like to thank for this project?

My girlfriend Claudine, she listens to a lot of Subaru talk and endless hours on the site, Niall Kaye (Sub officer Arklow fire brigade) for the use of the fire station.
