yep, mine rolled like a frickin boat, the springs have sorted that out tho, brakes were ****e too, but they werent brembos, changed those too.

Think subaru just trying to get a car that appeals to a wider range of people other than enthusiasts, i honestly thought the STI would have been different tho, sounds a bit disappointing h.

Looks like the first thing you gotta do with the new models is mod them just so they behave like old-school scoobs.

Dont get me wrong. It was nice, 400bhp, 515lbs torque,ap 6pots with 2part discs and a nice suspension. I just feel that its not worth the asking price. Im off out for razz in a GT34r in a fortnight, Ill do a comparison and then compare them both to mine when I get it back and run in

All standard Imprezas roll too much, to feel better they at least need a set of springs! As standard they roll so much you lose all confidence. When I drove the new saloon I felt the same, power can be excused as its standard, but grip and handling.. or the feel of such things needs work from standard.

Ps I'm not referring to the cossie... but I would like to see how it goes/feels, but at the age of 22 people don't take me seriously for test drives lmao.

I'm using a Fat Gecko mount and just a small kodak pocket HD cam (ZX81 I believe) but you could probably get better results with a go pro motorsport or a dog cam both are about £199

Yeah I saw this the other day. Not bad for sub £20 almost doesn't matter if it gets damaged!

H I was thinking of getting a piece of transparent plastic to protect it and using foam over the mic but I'm still not convinced so probably best to just mute audio.

All the best with finding somewhere to park if you visit Thwaites I was constantly having to move my car, despite Mark telling me where was "ok" to park! It's a very very busy yard..
