Welcome James

Got yourself a good car there. Always nice to buy a car from an enthusiast

 

As the missus says, essex white!!

 

Looking forward to it, be up later and perhaps we can start at Revolution247.com and go from there, my missus is gonna be so happy I'm spending someone else money!!!

 

No worries, have already been warned not to go mad as it's gonna be an expensive month!

 

Mark @ HTAutos,

Any progress, due date, etc. ??

 

ye come on, i'm waiting eagerly!!!!

 

Hi,

Sorry, been put off a bit by a couple of our customer main dealers. Both say they have had them on the shelf for 2 years and never sold one the tooling for me to make this part would be a couple of grand+, so not sure its worth the risk

Mark @ HTAutos.

 

Pics courtesy of Adecorp (cheers pal) - the hatch doing it's stuff as Scooby Shootout (notice the odd bit of precipitation yike!!) -

 

so its a subaru accessory part then?

who's the dealer, can you put me in touch?

i'll take one off their shelf

 

cool pics of the hatch there Phil

 

Anyone have an idea how much my Hatch is worth?

Parkers list it at £16.5k. But they only list the UK car without the recaro's, 18" alloys, push button keyless entry, sat nav etc etc..which was an additional £3k new.

Extras include 330s Exhaust, Zun Sport lower grill, Zero Sports cool action II IC splitter, Zero Sports air intake pipe, HT AUto's lip spoiler, Rally Armor mudflaps, DEFI Racer dials (boost & oil press) in center vent pod, JDM clear rear fog mod, RaceDynamix remap (1.1 bar with 1.3bar peak). & 20mm hubspacers from CDF.

All these could be removed and car sold as standard Premium Spec if necessary.

Any ideas would be greatly received, I'm toying with the idea of a new Discovery 4 so the scooby and D3 would be going to finance it.

 

Kyle is yours an 08 and what sort of mileage, I'd like to think between 18k-19k for your premium spec as it stands, there is a blue one on ph with 7300miles for £17995 and a few 08 UK car at dealers for about 20k.

You wont get any extra for the bits you have put on in a px, the value of your is its standard premium spec so if traded in I'd whip em off and sell privately.

 

Cheers Arron, yes an 08

Mileage is now 28kish though...!

so 17-18k?

 

i was offered £18.5k on my sti hatch, registered in july 09 by a dealer


Cosworth Spoiler:
I'm going to order the mid level waist spoiler from Subaru, a genuine part, and see how much i can get the mould and a carbon fibre one produced for then the original one will be up for sale.

 

I will be interested on seeing how this looks on the car, it seems to blend in well on the photo, maybe too well to make it worth while - unless in a different colour or carbon.

James

 

Mark, may be interested in the original at the right price at the end of it

And if it blends in, just means I don't get caught spending by the missus!

 

I'll look at yours first then, if it looks ok might even look at carbon to match the carbon high level spoiler(already on the list)!!

 

FPMSL @ Arron - I know what you mean there!!!

its gonna cost £200 delivered, but currently on back order!!


amazing that as dealers have never sold any!!!

also been told that IM have stated the boot of the UK saloon is too weak to take a large spoiler hence the lack of one and only a small one on offer.

when asked about the JDM and USA version that come with it standard, they have different law regs there for stronger boots!!!!


WTF!!!!!

 

welcome to pop round to mine sometime to look at the STi if you need some ideads etc lol

 

The marries up with what I was told at Slip End over the weekend, seems crazy that they would have a different spec boot. Maybe it saves them a few quid on the export

Arron your missus is used to your spending habits by now

 

I'm sure a meet would be worth while at some point anyway, but am open to ideas. Missus likes understated, I am thinking along the lines of an R205 look

J

 

couple parts for sale if anyone is interested

Couple of pics of my car. Had it just over a week now, an ex demo from Westaways Northampton (great bunch of guys up there, and excellent service !). Have some plans for it, different wheels (something in white), PPP, prodrive springs, tints, lip spoiler, and some red tint surrounds for rear lights. Ah yes, flaps too, not sure what colour though. Loving it so far





What do think of my ghetto cover, to stop the dogs from covering the back of the seats and headrests in fur/oil ....





Richie.

 

Nice mate. Dont know about the green tape to keep the dogs at bay tho cant you use the missus car for the dogs?

 

lol yeah, couldn't find any black tape at the time. Think i'll pop down the tarp place in town, and get them to make something slightly more pleasing to the eye My two goldens are walking carpets and fur shedding smell bags

 

Ramdor,

Nice car and great improv! Still waiting to pick my car up..hurry up DVLA!

James

 

had a rreally interetsing chat just now, Subaru UK called me to talk about new saloon impreza, asked me what car i currently have, and why i wanted to swap in a STI just over a year old

explain to him engine blew @ only 6k miles etc etc cant drive it like its meant to etc etc over 300 others blowing up. etc etc 2 or 3 engines etc etc


oh really not heard about any of that!!!

yes mate, your cars SUCK!!!!


lol

 

ramdor, welcome bud car looks very tidy, usual suspects on that shopping list but I'm sure it'll be longer as the days go by!!

 

I would have loved to listen to THAT phonecall... It's about time they heard some negative feedback not via customer support..

Makes you wonder how much longer they are willing to keep this charade up.

Interested to see how the 2011 cars fair. If they also start cracking piston ringlands, even with the new map, then surely they cannot brush another 2 years of failures under the carpet?.. They may still have to back down and remedy this.

 

Like the look of the saloon but I REALLY hope sales are sooooo low that IM HAVE TO ask why.They're losing loyal customers left,right and centre!
