Hi all, iv decided i want to get another scooby again, i fancy a 2 door this time. I have £13,000 to spend, what would you suggest? im toying with perhaps a P1, what are your views on these?

Any advice greatly appreciated

Cheers

 

Get a V5 or V6 Type R. The P1 is Good but the Type R's are mad

 

I would love to have got a Type R ... but i was scared off by lots of peoples engines melting..

The Rs are definetly the best looking scoobs

They Sure Are

They will only melt if you up the boost without adding fuel, the same with any car. if you tune it correctely then it should be no problem Mine is running around 330bhp no bother.

 

get a 2 door type RA!

 

no such thing man, its a 2 dr type r v ltd is the one ur thinkin of, its the very same as a type r, only with a roof vent, 1000 made

 

There IS "GC8G27D 300 WRX RA V-Limited 2 door Special edition 2 door RA" 99-00.

 

thankyou but its 1997+

GC8E27D

 

Sorry! Here you go
WRX RA V-Limited 2 door Special edition
GC8E27D = 97/8
GC8F27D = 98/9
GC8G27D = 99/00

 

But it aint no STi!

 

nor are sum type r's!!

 

Havent said they are!

 

If youre worried about the engine going, then get a P1 thats still got a warranty on it. There are plenty about with extended warranties, my old P1 had well over a years worth of subaru extended warranty on it.

P1 or typeR? well thats one of the most hotly debated issues on scoobynet! Depends on what usage you want for the car. The P1 IMHO is a better all rounder for everyday driving, motorways etc. The typeR is more ***** out with much lower gearing and quite a firm ride.

If you have an everyday second car and just want some weekend fun etc then the typeR is the way to go. An only car and I'd suggest the P1.

Ive owned both and now have a 22b which I use as an everyday car, however, it has a subaru warranty and the taller Uk gearing.

 

buy a type r, they are awesome, and rare, just been to the lodge with ESC loads of scoobys there and mine was the only type r i saw.

i wanted a v limited originally but big premium for a roof vent over my version 5.

2 door, 2 door, 2 door, 2 door, 2 door!
