pulled the trigger on a 2001 Subaru Impreza hatchbac for $3000. Runs fine and it's a huge upgrade over my Feroza. Now it's completely stock so does anyone have an idea of what mods I should be looking at? nothing too huge yet I'm not making much money atm.

Tfw nearly got ran off the road last night
>red light about to turn green >two lanes forms one after lights >light turns green >goes past the person that were stopped at the lights >clearly further ahead of the person by half a car length >start to merge, they speed up and beep at me >their front is just barely at my rear quarter >Was on the edge of the road before until there was more lanes again >they drive next to me yelling shit
If they were next to me when the lanes merged I would have yielded and let them merge first
Brayden Torres
People are retarded man. Whenever there's a merge after lights, I always get up to speed as fast as possible so that I can merge first.
Nicholas Campbell
Depends on what you want out of the car.
If you want speed you probably should have bought a WRX, simply because you'd have to do brakes and suspension on top of an engine swap in a base model Pretzel to get it all up to the same level of performance.
Austin Cruz
Are indians guilty of having the worst and most predictable vanity plates of all time?
A house down the road from me has both SINGHZZ and PUNJABZ on two of their cars
Noah Davis
no its bogans, women or even worse: bogan women.
Levi Kelly
I hate this. One of the roads near me >left lane has to merge into center >center is all clear >right lane turns into tram track, which you can drive on but have to give way go trams >I'm in center, one car to my right one to the left no one behind me >I'm off the line first >tram is on the track >stupid bitch in right lane tried to merge into my lane without looking >at the same time person in left lane tries to merge into me, despite me being ahead and no one else being behind me >go fucking WOT >car screams off, look behind and the two other cars have almost bumped each other. Fuck I wish I had a dashcam for that one.
Joshua Robinson
Inside, outside and engine bay detail. Will set you back a bit, but will be amazing when done. Especially if they do clear shell coatings. (Shell coatings also make the finish easier to upkeep.)
Other than that first major service?
After those go have fun with it. What do you want to do with it? Skids/drags/trackdays/gymkhanas. Tarmac/dirt/gravel?
If you just want to daily drive it you could look into fuel saving gear.
Jackson Collins
nope that would be the ones that say: HOTCHK but dey ugly bitches. usually on holden commodores
Wyatt Gray
>bought a new socket, didn't pay attention to the adapter size >got home >found out 3/4 exists
Carson Hernandez
they're always in the 30s, fat and have playboy seat covers. its disgusting.
Kevin Anderson
yup come out in 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 drives
Joshua Murphy
What should I do to my VY? It's completely stock. Also, is there anyway to fix the accelerator? It feels like shit, as if it's rubbing again something. My brothers one is the same, so I'm assuming it's just how they are.
Jaxon Jones
and the commodore is a red SS
Nolan Carter
You forgot 3/8
Grayson Walker
too poor for 20 so i only bought 15
Juan Watson
no i didnt. 3/8 is mainly truck sockets. a rag and a match.

Christian Perez
yeah that shit was like 35 dollars
Colton Rodriguez
Even better bruz, love me some cougs
Josiah Robinson
Why do foreigners come to this country and drive worse than a bogan? I'm fucking sick of being cut off by punjabi's and towel heads
Carter Bailey
on the plus side they'll crash eventually or cause an accident, no doubt have no insurance and lose all their shit to pay off the damage.
Matthew Jackson
My ute keeps going flat after 4 days of not driving.
Alternator is fine since it remains charged if I drive it everyday.
Could it be the fucking alarm?
>implying someone would want to steal my ute
Christian Campbell
how old is your battery
Christian Reed
Turn off your car and put a voltmeter to your alarm and see if that has power with the car off, or you could be a bogan cunt and cut the wires and find out if that's it.
Jace Bell
>doing a sitter >rear slides to the side while sitting does this mean that the car has a working lsd
Dylan Roberts
Well, got it last November, but hell if i know how long it's been shelfwarming, so I can warranty it no problem. It literally went from green status indicator to empty in a week.
Just wondering now, is it even normal for a BA MkII to have the power windows operational after 5 minutes of turning the vehicle off? At least I know it's not the lights, the central thing or bluetooth. I'll try to find a voltmeter I can borrow
Dad's electrician reckons it's most likely the alarm, maybe I can just go and get him to check. Shouldn't take too long.
Ethan Morris
those green/white or whatever indicators never work on batteries t͏bh
sounds like you got some leaking of power from something, like tat other user said, use a voltmeter to find what is drawing the power
Julian Harris
>is it even normal for a BA MkII to have the power windows operational after 5 minutes of turning the vehicle off?
Yeah it's normal for modern cars, It surprised me when I drove my mums 2012 Kia Carnival, took the keys out and pressed the button to go up and it went up. If it's an aftermarket alarm I wouldn't doubt it that they wired it to the battery directly instead of something thats triggered when something is opened.
Xavier Bell
>Falcon
The only Ford Falcon that matters is the American one.
Jayden Morales
Yeah nah
Colton Stewart
Nice, a car that couldn't win the touring car series in it's own country, meanwhile USA Falcons were the fastest cars in Monte Carlo going against the best Europe had to offer at half the size
Lincoln Evans
Bathurst is the only race worth caring about in Aus fuckhead. If the XK-XP's were factory V8's like the American ones were then it'd be a different story.
Charles Diaz
Literally the only Aus cars worth owning.
Hunter Gutierrez
>tfw poorfag
Mason Lee
>implying the fast Toranas weren't worth owning
Lucas Moore
The only torana worth owning is the LJ imo, Holden's v8's were turds
Class A[edit] Class A was for cars which cost less than $1,850. It was made up of Datsun 1000, Ford Cortina, Hillman GT, Morris Mini De Luxe and Toyota Corolla.
Class B[edit] The $1,851 to $2,250 class was dominated by the Datsun 1600, but also contained Hillman Arrow, Hillman Gazelle and Morris 1100S.
Class C[edit] The $2,251 to $3,000 class saw a mix of standard versions of the outright contenders, Ford Falcon and Holden Kingswood and Fiat 125 and Morris Cooper S.
Class D[edit] The $3,001 to $4,500 class featured the outright contenders, Ford Falcon GT and Holden Monaro, but also contained a single Chrysler VE Valiant, Fiat 124 Sport and Studebaker Lark.
Class E[edit] For cars over $4,500, contained Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV and a single Citroen DS21 Pallas.
Wow, Aussie muscle sure is good when it competes against the shittiest Euro and Jap econoboxes and a French luxury car. Every time they went up against American cars, even in their own racing series in their own country, they got demolished.
Aiden Hill
Are there any mods better than a Peter Brock Energy Polarizer to increase engine performance?
Aiden Young
nope

I know it's a meme to call everyone else terrible drivers, but come the fuck on, people
Michael Edwards
saw the price of black ice at my local supersheet today. $6.99 each. robbery i tells ya

Guys, you all realise the Camaro was racing until the 1980's right.....? It won jack shit.

RIP user Dog Bro :(
Aiden Williams
At least he went peacefully where he lived mate. Better than getting the needle.
Think of the awesome life he lived and be happy you were able to do that for your mate, dogs live such great lives.

Dont rag on minis cunt, driven correctly they are dangerous machines
Kevin Flores
r.i.p. doggo
better way to go imo
Wyatt Roberts
Maybe so but they still never beat a Torana in rally.
Colton Miller
i thought most of those got lost in the mail and only maybe 2 people actually ended up with them?
Mason Bennett
Hey cunts, what should I check on a 2001 vx with 265k on the clock? Gonna go see 1 this evening...
Justin Russell
I'm not ragging on them ya daft cunt. I fucken love a Mini I'm ragging on the Seppo cunt who said the Falcon was the fastest cars in Monte Carlo. Yeah regulations favored the smaller cars, but the Falcon never "Won" Monte Carlo
Colton Parker
Check the springs arent cut, check the oil and see how clean it is, make sure there is coolant (not water) in the overflow, check the rear guards for melted rubber, make sure it wasnt someones skid rig.
Also check that the electronics in the dash actually work, only fuses you will have to replace but can probably get it a lot cheaper if there is a problem.
Logan Sullivan
>Miata and rice burner with "Night Kids" sticker on the side >they spaghetti everywhere what did you expect?
>The only Ford Falcon that matters is the American one. you spelt Australian wrong
never heard anything about them here after they were released, doubt any cunts from the rest of Veeky Forums would've bought any
ls1? listen for piston slap and check for oil leaks if it is
Justin Turner
... That's exactly a bogan woman
Fuck sake first post I see from you in ages and it's garbage like always
FUCK OFF
Colton Ortiz
I saw that one guy bought one and the other guy that bought the others was Jimmy. He was going to give them out at the next /dat/ meet but then the Astra happened, the Subby etc. No one outside of /dat/ knew/gave a fuck about Jim so that's also why.
Adrian Jenkins

I had one off while working on it, went for a test ride forgetting I had only one on and the other got ripped off. It's lying in a ditch somewhere scratched to hell.
Now it's a naked bike

It's the one in Nissan's electric delta wing shaped thing, I think.
I don't know what the Deltawing delta wing is running.
