Wood Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I pay $4000 a year for insurance just for the Jeep. I dont know about the rest of the US, but around by me it can be ridiculous. Insurance companies usually wince in pain seein someone with a vehicle like this try and get insured...it all boils down to driver record, and vehicle worth and condition. The Jeep in its purest, untouched, stock form cost me $10,000 five years ago when i was a junior in high school. I've since been through 6 lifts as i mentioned, 4 sets of tires, 3 sets of wheels, 2 axles, and a transmission. Once you also factor the Borla headers, Borla cat-back exhaust, free flow catalytic converter, custom sound system, dual Optima batteries w/ in-cab isolator, 6 way adjustable shocks w/ in cab controls, performance chip, air intake, lower gearing to compensate for the tires, custom driveshafts front and rear, heavier duty axleshafts, 6" Skyjacker leaf springs, Spring over axle lift, Longer shackles, dual steering stabalizer, Skyjacker Track bar and sway bar disconnects, 2 different tops, Tube doors, rocker panel armor, Smittybilt SRC front and rear tube bumpers(not on there yet, but purchased and in the garage), Trail rack, 8 auxilliary lights, custom grenade shift knob...blah blah blah...besides all the favors i had to call in and return....i figured out that all the aftermarket stuff cost me about $25,000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M1911A2 guy Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 yes yes there are two great cars on this page <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Stop spamming. The WRX Impreza is nice, but it doesn't warrant you assfacing this thread. Wood: How much suspension travel does your Wrangler have? My Econoline is in the negatives after having a nice offroader, so seeing that brings back memories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M1911A2 guy Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I believe the Subaru Impreza WRX STi is the sedan with the rear wing. The picture you qouted is of the Impreza WRX. Two different, yet very nice, vehicles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Two different, yet very nice, vehicles. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The WRX can come with a wing. It's not as large as the STi's wing, but it's a wing nonetheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaSniper93 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yeah, my WRX had the factory low wing on it. I traded it for a wingless trunk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

snowman Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 OK - Out of the closet time... I've got a ..... SKODA! http://www.skoda.co.uk/skoda3g/content/mic...vrs/paper2a.jpg Mine's red, had it since 2001 and it's still great - For a four door saloon with a great big boot, it's brilliant - Was a bit disappointed to find the autobahns crowded and mostly restricted to 120km/h on the way to Germany or I'd have seen an indicated 150mph with 4 up and all our luggage, managed 145mph on the few quiet/unrestricted parts and it felt rock solid and still returned 35mpg average! If your needs are a bit more practical than a Subaru can provide, give it a look, if you can see past the old Skoda prejudice. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kronic Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Snowman, you had any problems with the windows? My mates electric windows keep breaking. I think they made need some Prometheus high speed gears and a syetema motor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowman Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 No, mine have been fine. Had a Calibra once that broke window motors a few times, but that was years ago. Only issue was dodgy coils, which was a general VAG group problem. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
