mart1 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 That body kit would just get in the way, and them wheels are OK apart from they look to big, 16s look best probs is its hard to find a nice set of 16s for the caldina that look right. Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I personally think its retro and JDM as F**k. I like it! And I'd drive it! Phil. Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Not really much progress here apart from got the car serviced, New spark plugs oil filter blitz panel filter, and now with the blitz filter I can hear it sucking that air in and getting a little flutter sound, the car seems to be loving it pulling like a train.Also had the rear bumper resprayed with it having a scuff.

Crono's are nice, not many sets about now.Yeah there not a bad alloy and there not the multi stud one's either, hopefully they will suit the car and at the moment they are gun metal grey and thinking of getting them refurbished in a another colour, gold or white maybe silver cannot make my mind up lol Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah white can be a pain and I have ocd with keeping cars clean haha plus it might be a tad to much with car being white, gold will look nice. Some nice speedlines would look good too. Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah white can be a pain and I have ocd with keeping cars clean haha plus it might be a tad to much with car being white, gold will look nice.Gold would be sweet! Ive a pair of 15" cronos on the back of my 85, been afer another pair for years Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Some nice speedlines would look good too.They would and have been looking at them but the ET fit on the one's I have seen are ET50 which I don't think they would fit as the gt4 alloys are ET45 and only fit with 5mm spacer to bring them out a bit at the rear, the original caldina alloys are ET38.

mart1 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Gold would be sweet! Ive a pair of 15" cronos on the back of my 85, been afer another pair for yearsLooking forward to receive them in the week:-) with paisley freight, hope they don't go a stray, yeah they are getting rare alloy, gold it is then:-) Link to post Share on other sites

Its a shame Imprezas have such a deep offset otherwise it opens up another world of wheels. Some nice Speedline Safari's in gold would suit it perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites

Chops Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 im sorely tempted to get one of these, im selling my scoob saloon for an estate and this is the cool alternative to that. sleeper as you like too, with a quiet exhaust and an electronic cut out on no one would look twice. can i ask what kind of fuel this gets real world? id bet its better than a scoob lol Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Get one:-) very different from the norm and it turns heads every time I'm out in it and even though with the standard exhaust it has a nice grunt sound from the engine and exhaust.And its 260 bhp and maximum torque of 324 N·m (239 lb·ft/33 kgm) at 4400 rpm, it doesn't hang about:-) fuel wise I haven't really worked it out as I just use it for a weekend toy but at a guess I would say 25 to 30 mpg, seems around the same as my old glanza v auto, thirsty little buggers the glanza v auto.

mart1 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Now with the OZ crono alloys on, was going to get these redone in gold but after testing them out in gun metal I like them as they are. Edited April 8, 2016 by mart1 Link to post Share on other sites
