Can you not read? I said "if the same mods...", those are not the same mods are they? They're not even close FFS!!!

Bit of a dodgy looking day today , may be best to phone her and tell her to leave the car at home
You know she may get stuck at a junction wheel spinning....even worse she may end up in a ditch trying to get it round a corner

Tell you what......be the good son and lend her the Subaru , piece of mind and all that....she will be much safer popping to asda

Think I will take the rs for a spin today....that's if I can get any traction

Yep and you got in on the slating on that too




It my car an ill do what I want with it

If you don't like it say it once and leave the thread

And you still haven't answered how the mods on the st at poorly done

RS vents are cut in and fotted correctly and are in the correct position

Grills are fitted using the same mounts as the original grill
Badge is a cover
Only thing that's at attached with anything non ST's it the splitter and the rear diffuser



And saying rs vents are for the RS only

Is a bit pot kettle black when 90% of Scoob owners fit the STi rear spoiler and bumper spats

Same old bull from the same old people


Oh forgot I'm not aloud to modify it unless you say so and to your tastes

I looked at the exact same car a few months ago and thought
" yeah looks good " sat in it ,moved the gearstick then looked and felt all the flimsy bits of trim and then walked away
Didn't even bother driving it , tacky
Regards the mods , your car your choice
Are they done badly , no
Do they enhance the look of the car , no
Coloured badges were great in the 90's but sooo old hat now
The bonnet vents now break up the stripes , so what once flowed from front to back has now been broken up by two black blocks
But it's your car and your happy
I've commented so now I'll **** off

you did well to break it then, i know 3 other cars pushing 450 + that still run the 5 speed no problem. I broke my classic 5 speed on the isle of mann, was only running 280ftlb but pretty sure i missed a gear which is what mullered it.

you'd be surprised how many gearbox let go because of missed gears, snik a couple of teeth and the shock can be enough that they let go. The hawk 5 speed does seem to be considerably stronger than the earlier ones though.

Correct, it's mostly done by missing and bad gear changes, that's why most folk buy a sti because they can't change for ****

Why buy a rs for say £19 k


When you can buy a st for between £5k and £10k

Spend £5k on it and it'll shred a rs and you've still got say between £3kand £9k to insure it and go on holiday and still have money to buy a god for bid a Wrx with a STi spoiler on lol

Cos STi parts can't be fitted to a wrx

You have to but a STi as gob ^ says so

True petrolheads appreciate and understand all sorts of different marques and vehicles, this site more than most seems to have a high number of posters who are only interested in Subarus and have no appreciation or understanding of other marques!

Get yourself on fordrst.co.uk for any advice etc.

P.S
I drove to Northern Italy over the Stelvio Pass in mine, i would never of dreamed of trying to do that in my Blobeye PPP
Why not?
