Here's mine.... got it today....

Very quick though and can't belive the gearing compared to my uk classic!!!!

 

very nice m8 looks really clean

 

I know exactly what your saying bud - I've just gone from a uk turbo 2000 to a V5 Sti Ra. The difference's between the 2 car's is unreal especially the gearing.

 

guys anyone interrested in a set of door bump/protectors i am trying to sort out a company to make them as they are not avavlible from subaru anymore please if you would be interested follow the link that i have on here its from p1woc as i am a p1 owner just wondering if any type r owners would want a set. also any question etc please post them on the link not here as i have it up in a few sections and cant check all of them, if you want to put it up on another forums then please do as the more the better.

Hard work to keep them clean, but they look well!

I have the same rear spoiler ...... Any ideas what it is?

Bit nice!
Wish all those years ago when I bought my stock Sti V3 I had realised that typre R's existed!

 

stuart- looks very nice mate, bit of advice though, if you step back a bit you will be able to get all of the car into the photo

just kidding, very nice motor

is it a v5 or v6???

 

thanks for that mate,,,,

its a v5 and for sale/swap/px m3/cossie

i would go for the M3 over the cossie if its a day to day runner, but would go for the cossie if its just a weekend toy

Wheel Suggestions Would Be Welcomed Please

Here's mine....

2.35 lump - tis lovely!

 

alright...also not technically a "type R" but it's the closest thing we yanks got to one, and now it's a lot closer

6spd box inside too, plus the 2.5 liter sti motor.











absolute gobs of torque. Just begs for more throttle. Quite a devil car.

 

Wow, looks good. Is the dash original?

 

Looks like hes put STi clocks in doesn't it...

 

It does. it looks great.

 

Is that a straight fit or was there a bit of chopping about being done?

 

@ Millin absolout awesome scooby

 

There was a bit of cutting and fitting done to make it work. The newage cluster has a different shape so things must be bent a bit to make it fit.

I'm going to drop off the cluster surround piece to a fabricator next time I run out of town by plane so they can make a perfect fitting trim piece.

Honestly, though, it's not such a bad fit. You just need to make sure the top of the trim is heated and bent up a bit so you can see the cluster.
It's just like factory if done right.

Thanks for the comment flo555. I'm pretty much finished with her, but I'll add a few things here and there when I have a weekend where I feel like wrenching to blow off steam/relieve stress.

Glad you all enjoyed

Dash was done by some friendly folks in the northeast of the USA. They are very good at sorting out scoobys up there!

 

Great thread. Im looking to change my 00uk turbo next year. Ideally for a typer version 4 or 5. I want the one with the airbag?? Looking for an s/t reg how much would i be likely to pay??

Regards Dan

 

Any chance of a closer shot of the clocks mate?

 

I changed my UK My00 turbo for a Type R (after a stripped out 220bhp 205 mi16 though) and it is a vastly superior car.

You will pay anything from £7k to £10k depending on mileage and condition.

I paid £11k for mine but then she is rather special!

Good luck!
