Some general questions....

[grue]

Does the car have an Immobilizer system from the factory?

This one's kinda wierd, but does the car have coupe-style windows? That is to say, does the window frame come out when you open the door? I know the Impreza is just the glass, no frame above it when the door is open....

Does the glovebox lock?

Does the keyless entry have a remote release for the trunk?

Do the fold-down seats lock?

What class is the car set in for SCCA SOLO II?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

thirty-eleven.

Grue: Yes, the alarm prevents the starter from operating. The doors surround the windows with a frame, just like all the other 4 door sedans you see around. The glovebox doesn't lock.

No trunk release on the remote: only 3 buttons: lock, unlock, panic. And yes, opening the trunk with the key while the alarm is on does set it off!!! Don't ask how I found that out...

Rear fold down seats lock with controls on the backs inside the trunk area.

Dunno the autox class, but I expect it will be D stock. Great handling car for autox! Curb weight in the manual is 2807 lbs. Mine weighed 2800 even on the local truck scales, but they are only +/- 25 lbs accurate.

What's a woodchuck? ;<)

yes, pretty sure the frame opens with it

Does the glovebox lock?
yes

Does the keyless entry have a remote release for the trunk?
not that i know of

Do the fold-down seats lock?
i belive so, if by lock you mean lock them when they are in the up position so they cannot be released

What class is the car set in for SCCA SOLO II?
dunno

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
thirty-eleven

Not all, just most My cousin's 2001 Impreza 2.5RS doesn't have a framed window, I like it

That's unfortunate. I wonder if you could add an actuator to release it from a remote? It's one of those features one tends to get used to.

Drat, no mafia edition....

interesting. That's pretty light, actually. My Jetta weighed in at 2955 or something, and like 3175 with me in. Piiiiiiiiggggyyyy (the car, not me )

Oh, also....who's the best publisher to buy a service manual from? Is there an actual factory workbook one can buy?

 

[MSP Pro]

Service manual is not out yet, according to my local dealer. Don't know if it will be paper or a disc.

 

[JasonH]

It is in D-stock, along with the Mini Cooper S, Integra Type-R and IS300 (as well as others.)

one on CD would be really cool!

 

[AutoXer]

Jason, AFAIK the Cooper S has been reclassed in G-Stock. And yes, the MSP is in D-Stock.

That depends. If it's a huge compilation of PDF files, yeah, that's cool, otherwise...

Yup, you're right.

Sentra SE-R Spec V and RSX Type S are also in D-stock.

The glovebox doesn't lock???


Mine does in the MP3. Same glovebox is it not?

 

[MSP Pro]

My BAD; the glovebox does lock.

 

[grue]

Excellent, thanks I figure 90% of the time I won't wanna carry the faceplate with me, and that's where I'll put it.
