I would suggest getting a classic impreza type r . Great car and investment . And then join type-ra.com

Samy888

lol

Samy888

hmm. i have looked at them, and from what ive heard they are much more of a driver car than the newage ones. however you have to admit... a white hawkeye with choice mods looks the nuts.

True . But personaly i prefer the classics . And the type r will go up in value . I dont think i'll convince you though

What kind of money are you looking to spend

Samy888

you never know i could well be convinced..... but i would say a maximum budget of 12k

scooby k

I always wanted a DC5 in CW however finding the right one was difficult so I gave up,


Is there anypoints in which you think a Scooby will be better than a DC5.

Samy888

Well dont get me wrong the DC5 is an awesome car, and i would say faster than a pretty standard STI taking into account weight etc. but i just like the looks of a scoobie..... and the 4WD is a plus, the noise too. (even JDM ones ) i think its just one of those cars i have to own at some point if that makes sense?

Impreza STI Type R (2 door coupè and one of the most desirable) or Type RA (race altered 4 door saloon) without a doubt. Both will hold value.

Well respected used Subaru dealer:

Stunning Version 3 STI Type RA

Version 6 limited edition Type RA (also with optional double rear spoiler)
http://www.hurstcars.co.uk/used-cars...01608076577132

Beautiful Version 6 (last of the classic shapes) STI Type R, if your budget can stretch

The version 3 is actually pretty good value considering the low mileage

Samy888

thanks, for the link bud, the 2 door does look good but are pricey. and the 4 doors I just cant get around the look of them, just not to my taste.

this one is awesome but out of my price range.....

to be honest, its looking like a jdm hawkeye has me swayed

JDM Hawkeye is a good choice as it has the stronger engine. Any JDM version and in original guise (particularly a classic) will hold value.

Wake up and smell the coffee pal no vetec n/a dc5 will come within a mile of a standard sti

Samy888

1180kg DC5 with mods, vs a standard 1475kg standard STI. Pretty sure it can hold its own my other half owns a E36 M3 Evo and we are side by side up to around 120 mph

carry on snoring bud
A stock fwd dc5 will stay with a stock Impreza sti
Why didn't I save myself all the hassle and by a Honda loafs power and loads torque ficcxkkkl off

Samy888

That's not what I was saying... I said my modded DC5 would stand up to a stock STI... p.s you seem like a real nice guy no need for that

Went out last Saturday for a blast up the road celiac gt4 vs Honda S2000 both cars with exhausts and filters. The gt4 was dynod 258 bhp 1440kg
I was sat in the passengers seat of gt4 both cars went for it in 2nd gear and gt4 left the s2000 for dead and I mean dead and I thought the gt4 was not quick at all

Unless ur running supercharger or turbos in ur Honda sti evos and skylines are in a different league that's just the reality of it

I would just ignore those kind of comments if I was you Samy Absolutely not worth replying to............Welcome to Scoobynet!

His nick is based on a 'kin cartoon ffs and the most annoying little ***** of a dog that ever existed and so that probably tells you all you need to know............

Id like the dc5 to be as fast as an sti but i dont think it will be . I really would like to be proved wrong im a honda man but i do like my sti6 i wouldnt be in the middle of stripping it down to rebuild it if i didnt

Type-ra.com is a far better forum btw.feels more like a proper owners club .a lot of knowledge there and no bull**** like you get here .

This forums good for the forsale section and talking ****.

Samy888

Haha thanks bud, it's been a joy so far lol sure what would a Honda owner know anyway.... I drive a really loud lawnmower

If i had 12k right this second to buy a weekend car, i would either buy a subaru cheap and have a stroker project car, or just buy a clean type R, why don't you go test drive some to find out what sort of power and spec you are after the nmake a choice, one persons subaru will drive completely different to someone elses hence the conflict in opinion, your driving style might not even warrant you having an impreza, just go try before you buy and let us know what you have brought?

I've been here 13 years and he's the only guy I've ever put on my ignore list. Says a hell of a lot! We're all car enthusiasts here - what's the point in him arguing like that?

Honda fan here too. Currently have a JDM EP3 as my daily drive and the Mrs has an 08 FD2.

You can't beat them for the combination of performance/reliability/fun/affordability.

Uncle Creepy

He's a muppet. Just ignore him - we all do!

I'd agree with this!

Your the fool when you were trying to find a dyno on the Hilltown/Rostrevor road buzzing up and down it in your Mazda. Then lying to people when your boost comes in. Then telling people your waiting on your dyno graph when the nearest dynos 50 miles away. You'd be surprised who's watching and laughing at you. Now don't be cheeky there's a good wee boy.

It was mapped on road and power estimated by bob using delta dash
I already posted I have a copy of the graph emailed to me
If you doubt the way car drives your welcome to come and see it for yourself if your north or south of border

Why PM not like being found out as for the only Mazda in Ireland best of luck to you I could take you to two within 10 miles of us. Would say our gearbox cost more than your car now where's the graph because you had a member on here pulling his car to bits cause you told him a ball of lies and you didn't even have any description of a graph !!!
