Im still on the hunt for a type r and wondered if anyone knows of any decent import companys?

Dan

 

the problem wit them company's is they charge way over the odd for one by at least a couple of grand, you want to get down Southampton docks in one of the auctions

 

Id like to do that but its a fair distance away from me. Do you know of any auctions by liverpool?

Dan

 

Your out of luck with liverpool docks because they've stopped bringing them into liverpool now. It's all down to the pound being so weak nobody is importing much these days as there's no profit in them now and due to the lack of imports the boat has stopped coming They had there last auction the other month.

 

Why not buy one which is already in the UK

 

I have been looking over the past week, pistonheads, autotrader, different forums etc. Nothing has really stood out. I went to look @ a version 6 on wed, complete waste of 6 hours.

Dan

 

Do you know the name of the company as im still in the same boat will be selling my Scooby but want to buy faster one lol

 

there is an auction import place called motorway they have a web site to there back in southampoton docks

 

What are you looking for exactly?

I got my STi by posting in the Wanted section here.

 

try Newera Imports - Homepage see what Miguel can get you from japan

 

Cheers guys. I did look at Free style digbys, it just seemed a bit expensive. Will keep looking.

Dan

 

To be honest im looking for a version 4/5 or 6 type r depending on the money. Although i have been looking at the ek9 type r's a back up plan. Dont know wether thats a good idea or not really. Im just so impatient


Dan

 

Digbys is expensive but its by far the best 2 door impreza after the 22B.

The WRC cars were the last classics so had all the goodies on the shelf stuck on them. If you have anywhere near that money I would take it. They are very rare and will be the most sort after in the future.

Does it have to be a Type R? You pay at least £1500 in 2 door tax. An equally similar STI RA WRC would be around the 7.5k mark with a RA WRC being around 6K.

 

Apologies i didnt realise they held the money that well. If im honest it doesnt have to be a 2 door if the right 4door came up i would look at it. Why do you know anyone selling one?????

Dan

 

I have a version 4 typeR STi on order through SVA imports, in Southampton. I asked them what I wanted and left them to it. I should pick it up some time next weekend.

Before I contacted SVA, I did some research and found that they are a decent import company.

 

Top one is nice bottom one is a version 4 though so dont know why he's advertising it as a version 6......

Tony

 

I have heard of SVA imports. It might be worth giving them another ring.

Dan

 

This one looks nice close too

Subaru : Subaru Impreza WRX STi V6 Type R

Tony

 

Ive just spoke to the guy selling that. Hes done the engine swap himself from a wrote off version 5. He wants 7500 but assures me its mint?

Dan

 

Try this one, worth a look Litchfield
