I have a type R vs 5

Its a babe with a Merv re map - Modded P1 map

I would like to upgrade ??

OK folks is the sti8 any good ??

i cant live without the diff control

or the poser factor of the R

can anyone reccommend a Upgrade
??

Its got to be a SCOOB !

 

Blinkin 'eck, Bri - you've only had the 'R' a short time. :shocked:

First dibs on those new wheels of yours please.

 

is it possible to "upgrade" from a type R there an amazing motor!!!!

 

You can't upgrade - maybe to a 22b but that's not an ideal drivers car - more for the polishing fraternaty

 

You wont want an STI 8 then, unless you get a Jap one (STI9 now), or a WR1.

Personally if you can stretch to it I'd get either a spec c or a bruddy brilliant T25!!!

Does'nt the Spec C come with the adjustable diff now?, if so that maybe an option.

whats the cost of a spec C ???

Matt mate you have got no chance with the wheels mate !!!

 

The WR1 has an adjustable diff too I think?!? I may be wrong.

 

Not sure on the cost, you may get an answer in the Drivetrain forum.

Spec C details from http://www.litimports.co.uk

 

good one sean mate

ok the R is worth say 13 K

So a upgrade to a Spec C say a extra 16K

is it worth it ?

 

whats a upgrade??

there isnt one is there ???

the WR1 is a 4 door STi8 in the low down is it worth a extra 18 K ??

 

OK all open !!!

30 K cash

whats the best ?

 

i would go for the wr1, 320 bhp, dccd-a, exclusive (like rb5), an 3yrs warranty, i have went for the sti as the wr1 is just over my budget (looking for a bigger house or i would have)

Thats my HO,

sti-04!!

 

Looking at a WR1 im down the dealers today to see what exchange they will give me on the R

 

They'll probably take the **** cos it's an import. Could try to deal on a Type 25? I think they're going to retail around the £35k mark

 

They will want the standard wheels back on your car So i will pick the 18's up later to help you out

 

Geroff! Those wheels are mine!

 

New Spec C's cost around 26k, the limiteds cost just under 28k, its a car thats well worth getting (ive got one ) but i wouldnt use it for everyday use, its a bit on the harsh side for some (i dont mind though ).

Oh, Brian, speak to Dannyboy as i emailed him 2 websites, the top one has a new spec c in (in wr blue!)
