Yeah, I know that most of you have already been there and done that, but I had to tell someone.

I bought an Impreza Type RA today and to say I'm happy would be an understatement.

Its a 94, and drives like a dream, had it all checked out and everything is in good shape.

It has a full HKS system and a few other sensible tricked up bits.

The only downside is that I won't be able to pick it up until the weekend after next due to a clash of commitments, but its nice to have something to look forward to

Cheers
Richard

Cheers

Hello Richard

Andy told me that you had bought a Scooby,well done mate.

Oh and Welcome to ScoobyNet

Mark

 

I am hopefully going to be where you are very shortly, can't wait!!
Woo frickety what ever and all that. WELCOME!

 

Hi Mark

I see that you like to get about a bit too

Cheers
Richard

PS. The Cossie I bought last month has cost me £500 in engine work so far co the last basket owner had f*cked the engine but managed to bodge it. Got me all the way home from Plymouth fortunately, before the head gasket went the next day and upon stripping down the head, its clearly had a cam belt go in the past - strange thing is it ran really well?!?.

Also spent about £600 for uprated brakes and suspension but that was to be expected

 

welcome aboard

 

Hello and welcome

 

I know how you feel, it's a great feeling owning a superb class motor.. Everytime I see my car, it brings a smile to my face ..

Enjoy, the wait is worth it, believe me I know as i had to wait for months before I could drive my car legally on the road, as I imported mine form Japan...

OJ..

 

Congratulations and welcome! Take it easy and learn how to handle the Scooby before you put her and yourself to any tests on the road. Don't know if you are familiar with AWD and turbo from previous ownership, but it's different, I can tell you. Enjoy!

Awww thanks guys. I'm getting that fuzzy warm feeling now

I've only heard the car fire up and driven it once, but I'm still grinning thinking about it.

Can't wait until I pick it up and really have some fun.

I've had experience of powerful cars, but only fwd and rwd, not awd, so I will be careful while I find the new learning curve.

Cheers again guys and the forums have been really helpful even tho I've only been a lurker for the last year or so.

Richard

 

Hi mate - I do love the RA. Why not come along to the East London meet on Sunday near canary wharf and show it off?? Check the Southern Forums.

Happy driving!

 

Welcome London,

Korky

 

Yes Rich

I like to keep an eye on what is going on here,there and every where
The Scooby lot are cool too(even if i am a Cossie owner)

 

Welcome to the club just remember to put SUL or Optimax in her

Andy

 

Hey up fella, welcome to the fold.

Enjoy the experience... 'cause no doubt it will be a very fast and expensive one!!!

Had my 2nd scoob for 10 months now and still can't get rid of the smile on my boat-race!!!

Mine came fitted with one of these...

 

Geeeeaaaaazer press that loud pedal...........and hold on!

Col

 

************** BECAREFUL WITH THE TYPE RA *************

Most important aspect is to learn to breathe between gear changes . Take it easy they are quick that the average scoob .

 

But does it corner well?



(I picked up my new Sport last night)

 

*********** REMEMBER ************

'SLOW IN..... FAST OUT' (bends that is )

You will find the grin pedal on the right next to the brake pedal

Welcome to scoobynet
