Subaru Impreza
Are you looking for a Subaru Impreza?
Q: Where can i find a stock WRX hood for my 2002 subaru impreza?
I have a 2002 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS. I was wondering where i could get the WRX style hood for it? all i have been able to find is carbon ones, i just want the type off the stock wrx’s. i dont even care if it is used. any information would be helpful thank you.
A: I would think twice about doing something like that. The hood scoop is what distinguishes a WRX from just a 2.5 rs. With the WRX the hood scoop is actually doing something, it’s not just there to look cool, even though it does. A lot of people will probably talk trash about your car and how it’s a ricer if you do something like that. And honestly, with me being an owner of an 02 WRX, I am one of those people that would not like to see something like that on your car. It’s kind of taking something away from us WRX/STI owners in a way. Just be happy with what you have, regardless if it’s a WRX or 2.5rs.
Q: What is happening with my 1994 Subaru Impreza’s manual starter motor after cleaning and taking apart?
I took apart and cleaned throughout my1994 Subaru Impreza’s manual starter motor.
I put it back on my car, all I got when I tried to start my car was
Pop, pop, pop sound
and the car sounded like it was trying to start but didn’t kick in.
Is this definately just the the starter motor at fault? If I replace it then my car will start good??
A: if its doing something now that it wasn’t doing before, chances are that its something that you did. take it to an auto sparky.
Q: What does the German guy say at the end of the Subaru Impreza commercial?
It’s tag-line is the Japanese car German engineers wish they’d made. It can be found on youtube by searching “Funny german commercial – Subaru Impreza”
A: Easy! Its just like the tagline
he says: “wünsche wir hatten es gemacht”
I wish WE would have made this!
Q: Is the Subaru Impreza WRX a good first car?
2003 or 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX in manual a good first car? How will the insuranc be?
A: No.
Insurance will be horrible. I paid north of $800 per year on a slow, pokey Nissan Hardbody pickup. It was eight years old when I got it, was the base-model truck (2.4 liter four-cylinder and manual transmission WITHOUT any expensive chrome bits or other options– not even power steering!) I should also mention this was for minimum liability and a small comprehensive coverage (because you never know when Bambi will dart out in front of you.)
The Impreza has a number of things working against it, for insurance:
1. It’s a “sports car,” in word and in deed.
2. It’s more likely to be driven by young males. Young people, and especially males, are charged higher rates because they’re seen by insurers as being higher risk. I don’t necessarily agree with that assessment, but then, I’m not in the insurance business.
3. It’s a compact car. Both the adjective and the noun matter in that sentence. Compact means less safety, and car means it’s perceived as being “faster” than a truck. In my experience a compact car would have cost me more to insure than a similarly sized pickup (which is why I got the Nissan and now drive a Ford Ranger.)
Additionally, you should be forewarned that these cars tend to bring out the rally racer-wannabe hoon in everyone who drives them. That means your 2003-2004 dream car is more likely to have been abused and punished by heavy-handed, enthusiast-oriented driving. Not to mention these cars have a notorious ability to chew up clutches and other expensive bits in a much shorter time than more pedestrian cars– even other Subarus.
Q: which is a better car for the value subaru impreza wrx or mini cooper clubman?
the subaru impreza wrx with the options i selected it $29,195 and the mini cooper clubman with almost the same options is $27,449.
A: Mini Cooper hands down, not a fan of Subaru at all.
Q: Which car is better: a 2008 Subaru Impreza or a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer?
I’m not very knowledgable of cars and it’s time for a new one and I’m not sure what to get. I’m stuck between a 2008 Subaru Impreza hatchback and a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer?
A: I inherited a 2003 Subaru Outback Impreza and I don’t think I’ll ever drive another type of car. Because it is AWD the gas mileage isn’t the greatest, but it’s not bad for an AWD vehicle. I feel very safe in it and haven’t had any mechanical problems in the last 5 years we’ve had it.
Also, when you own a Subaru, you can nick name it “The Sube.” Sounds way cooler than “The Mits.” That sounds like a disease 
Q: Can you put a 2008 Sti engine in a 2001 Subaru Impreza Sprot Wagon?
I have a 2001 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport. I want to put a STI engine in it, and a STI tranny. I have always dreamed of doing this to this car, but I don’t know if it is possible. Is it?
Also whould I have to upgrade suspension? and to what..
Thanks!
Eventually I want it to be a full STI custom.
A: you can but it’s a lot of work. Don’t know what engine bay mods the guy above is talking about so obviously he’s got his cars mixed up. All the mounts for the engine are in the same place so it will just plop right in there. The issue is with the wiring. To be able to use the Dual AVCS and S-Idrive, you will have to rip out all the wiring from your car with the dash, re wire it with the STI harness along with the STI dash and gauge cluster. This job alone will cost a couple thousand to have done or a couple months for a novice to tackle in their garage. With the tranny, you will also need the drive shaft, rear diff and all the axles and hubs which cost in the neighborhood of $4000 for everything but it’s also a straight across swap so no difficulties there. I just think that for the parts alone plus selling your car, you can find a desent 05 or so STI.

Q: How to set up my 06 Subaru Impreza’s engine for rally?
Its a Subaru Impreza WRX STI 06 2.5L with the PPP 320bhp package.
I want it to sound like theres a mob of angry bees in my exhaust, what will the fuel effiency be like afterwards and will i get pulled by the coppers for driving this setup on the roads (UK)
Thanks!
A: that’s an awesome car by the way but here is what i think
1 the engine is pretty much set up the way it needs to be, i would focus on suspension and gearing
2 the sound that the rally cars make that sound like bees is the anti lag system. or VGT turbo (very
expensive) but you could get a different exhaust to make it sound like that.
3 its not the best idea to make major modifications to your car if its your daily driver.
4 if you mod the exhaust the fuel econ. shouldn’t suffer.
5 if your going to rally i would get a cheep car because they get pretty beat up in racing. and stock
cars hold there value better than modified cars.
6 i live in Utah USA so i cant tell you about the police officers lol
but good luck in what ever you decide to do with it
Q: What is the Octane rating for a 1997 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport (E22J) non turbo in the owner’s manual?
I lost my car owner’s manual and would like to know the manufacturer’s recommendation on the minium octane rating for 1997 Subaru Impreza 2.2 L Non turbo
A: The EJ22 (it’s not E22J) is designed to run on 87 pump octane (R+M/2, as the stickers on the pumps indicate here in the USA). Running a higher octane is not only an obvious extra expense, but can actually CAUSE extra carbon buildup IF it’s used in an engine that was designed to use lower octane. I’ve got a ‘97 Impreza with the EJ22 with 203,000 miles on it currently. We bought it new and have used nothing but 87 octane. I’ve never had internal engine work done on it and it’s still getting 30MPG.
Q: Who can tell me about the Subaru Impreza?
Is the 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX a good first car? Can I please get some information about it? Is insurance going to surprise me?
A: The guy above is a little off on the power an no I don’t think it’s a good first car. Too much power and temptation to do stupid things with it. And don’t say you aren’t worried because you are responsible because you all say that now but I’ve been there and it happens to every kid. Statistics say that you will do some serious damage to your first car if not wreck it. Get something that is more sensible and won’t put your parents in such debt just to impress other kids you won’t know in a few years. You have the rest of your life to do that.
Q: what cars are there that are very similar to Subaru impreza wrx?
i am 16 and want a car that used and cheap with a turbo engine so that i can install a blow off valve because the blow off valve is music to my ears… any ways i was wondering what other cars are out there that are similar to the subaru impreza wrx with a turbo engine.
A: Theirs quite a few cars that are similar to the wrx. You got the evo of course, the cobalt ss, srt 4, Mazda speed 3, the older eclipse gst and gsx, and the vw gti 1.8t and r32. I know I’m probably forgetting some, but the only ones out of the ones I listed that are awd would be the eclipse gsx, the r32, and the evo, with the evo being the most comparible, but more comparible to the sti. The eclipse’s, srt 4, or maybe even the gti 1.8t would probably be the ones most in your price range taking your age into consideration, but who knows you could be rich lol. Anyway, good luck with your decision
Q: I have a question on a 1993 Subaru Impreza?
I have a 1993 Subaru Impreza. The car has power windows. What would cause the window to stop rolling up and down? All the other windows work just fine. Just the drivers side power window stopped rolling up and down. What could be wrong with it?
A: Window motor and or window regulator or window switch probly both the window regulator and window power motor they usuallyboth quit working at the same time
Q: What motors will fit in a 1994 Subaru Impreza FWD? preferably a twin turbo motor. Would like a number like EJ?
I bought a 1994 Subaru Impreza, a week or so ago. Motor has like 110 horse and Iam a young guy in high school and this is no where near enough. So I heard on the internet that if you change out the cross member you can drop in a different motor. What I want to know is what motor with the highest stock horse power will drop in with the right cross member. I found a EJ20 I think with a twin turbo on it on ebay, Iam not sure if this will mate with my trans plus fit in the engine bay. The car is front wheel drive and has a EJ18 motor in it now I think. Iam not really familar with Subarus so any help would be great.
A: If you think thats not enough power then you really dont need it. All you are going to do is go do something idiotic and get yourself or someone else killed. You said your in high school and a young guy. So do the math. Young guy+high school friends+weekend driving+high HP car = one really bad mess.
Q: What car is best for tall people? Subaru impreza owners please read!?
I Really like the subaru impreza wagon but i am 6′3″ and a little worried about fitting in the car nicely.
Will that car have good driver legrom and can you think of any other cars ( under 20,000) that have a good amount of driver legroom?
A: You should be fine. It is a small car but most cars are designed to accomodate people up to 6′6″. My buddy is 6′ tall and fits fine into his Impreza with few inches to spare.
Q: Gas Gauge Inoperative on 2003 Subaru Impreza ~ How to fix?
I own a 2003 Subaru Impreza and the gas gauge just stopped working.
My owner’s manual indicates that there is no fuse that can be replaced to solve the issue.
Would you believe the problem is in the gas gauge sending unit?
Is the unit accessible or must one get into the gas tank to replace?
I’m not a good mechanic; in either instance above, would you recommend going to a repair facility to ensure the work was done right?
A: more than likely its the sending unit. access is through the rear seat. pull the seat up, you’ll see a large rubber grommet with wires going through it. disconnect them and pull the grommet out. the sending unit is in the tank, the seal screws off and pull it out. to check that’s your problem, plug the wires back in to the sending unit. (out of the tank). turn the key to acc and move the lever up and down and watch your gas gage. will cost between $150 and up.
