you are mad lol

is the washer that has the patio cleaning tool too?





I've had a subaru update to cars that come up for sale.....
this is on the listing today.... 09/2009 WRX STi 330s £23500 (19500 miles)
http://www.pentagon-subaru.co.uk/use...dt-detail-menu


who had it before??? lol

 

I think it's a dealers demo car. That or something just like it was in one of the jap mags at Mallory park with the RCM hatch.

 

That spoiler is awful

 

Ok so today was really my first chance to drive the hatch. After reading many reviews and watching many youtube videos with top gear and fith gear and edmunds to name but a few.

In comparison to the hawk the hatch doesnt handle that well but then it had EXE-TC fitted but then hawk in standard form would have been easily beaten. My main gripe is what i knew before buying the hatch is the disconnection from the driving experience but im able to live or get use to it.

Now for the power,the hawk as you know was running 360/387 and the hatch is 305\300. The power delivery in the hatch is soo good compared to the hawk. This is probably down to a combination of being a lighter car than the hawk and my confidence in the gearbox

As for the interior all i can say is that its a much better place to be than the hawk. The different power settings are always on sport sharp and as for the diff settings well that still a mystery at this stage lol.

 

Well the wife has said i can't have one like that, as she'll not be seen dead popping to tesco and getting a baby/seat out th eback doors in the mother/baby parking bay!




which one did you test drive/where?
are you thinking of getting one?

 

While we are on the diff question, ive had minefor 2 months now and can u vetrans answer it for me

In normal mode all auto the bias is towards the back 58 42 split and u notice when in the snow the baCk kicks out if u pop it in + im presuming this alters anybody know how much goes to the front ?

Ok now the dif what do all the little bars do on manual ?

In the old days in y mates audi quattro im talking 1992 the square ones u could lock the diff that ment all the wheels turned at once same in a land rover if your really stuck u lock them all and it helps move the car, is subarus the same you lock
them and all wheels turn the same time ? If not whats the benifit?

Thanks

 

i bought an 08 sti in silver with 13500 miles on it

 

Thats a Car that came from our dealership originally Its had an engine replacement and a turbocharger a month later

 

^^^^^ sounds a good car then is that why the price is £1k less than other 330S' out there, or should it be cheaper... more £20k?


thought I might have a run out Monday to look at it anyway.. take the wife outfor lunch etc etc.. for her to still say.. 'we're not having a car covered in stickers!!!'

 

It was a lad in his early 30's that owned it from brampton carlisle. cant vouch for how the car was treated in his time of ownership, The vinyl's have been on since new and cost just over £1200 to do.

The huge spoiler was just a latest edition to the car, Only been on 2 months tops. easy enough to remove it as its just screwed up to the glass with plates either side.

It will be 1k cheaper than the rest due to the vinyls as no-one really like them to be honest.

 

^^^
I did see it on PH a few weeks ago for sale.

Think the stckers are eough to put anyone off.... mainly my Wife.

I love in ya face.... but Ken Block In Ya Face migt be a bit too much.


Is the new engine + turbo an issue though?

 

salsa - ye its the one with the patio attachment

bargain IMO

 

No I wouldnt say it was an issue, the engine wont have done many miles, Subaru wouldnt allow a turbo to be changed if I recall at the time of engine failure, but failed a month after so fitted a new one. Not seen the car in since its last service

 

Just a quick snap I took yesterday after meeting up with Neil & Derek in Edinburgh for a spot of lunch, Cheers for lunch Lads, & was good to meet you both.

 

thorth i new the car if its one iam thinking about seen it kicking around hexhan , newcastle & in at revolution a couple of times

 

Nice to see three hatches Rob, let alone white!

 

Cool


Mine missing

 

You're more than welcome Rob and good to meet you too. Hilarious following you back to the A1 and watching all the old biddies jump 3 foot in the air every time your howitzer went off!

Only down side to the day was after being for a spin in your car mine feels like one of those pedal cars from Bugsy Malone - eagerly awaiting that parts list matey-boy!

Cheers, Neil.

 

^^^
what's the difference?

 

an engine that doesnt implode after a thrashing?

 

I live just along the road from there!!!
Was heading to Aberdeen yesterday though

 

Rob,

Did you visit Andy F then?

Any news.....

 

Mine on the left 410bhp & what I would call the R.O Edition look in my garage all will become clear, Neil's in the middle 305 bhp, Derek's on the right 330 bhp

 

Yeah went up to Andy's had my car mapped to suit the new injectors and intake pipe. No Racerom just yet as ecutek have just about released it for beta testing within its dealer network.

 

I was in fits of laughter about it going through the main street

Just waiting for an updated parts pricing for the list

 

Had an STi hatch behind me on Runcorn express way yesterday, and I still say they have emormous road presence. The wide stance looks great in the rear view mirror.

Lee

 

Now the new motor has settled in Lee, how much do you miss the STI ?

 

Happy new year to all Hatch owners... and any others too!

 

Happy New Year .. from a non hatch owner (for now) lol

 

First wash of the new year done, snow foamed (thanks James), dried with my new polished bliss drying towel and 2 coats of poorboys wheel sealant on the speedlines, think that will do for the 1st!
