Hiya guys,I just thought I'd come say hello.
I just bought a 99 V6 type R and I'm just waiting for it to be registered before I can pick it up.Hopefully tomorrow.
I had an Evo 3 for the last 5 years and last month I thought it was time for a change so I picked up an e46 BMW which was a bad idea.
I kept it for 4 weeks and just had to have another import,so I went back to the garage to see what he had and this type r had just come off the boat and after a drive I just had to have it.

Anyway it's got 49000 on the clock and has been kept completely standard and original.Here's a few pics,





Looking forward to spending a lot of time on here and plan on doing some mods in the near future.
I'm so excited I can't sleep.

Regards.

Danny.

 

looks really nice mate.

 

looks really nice !

You've made a wise choice, enjoy

 

Looks awesome, can't wait for a spin Danny mate!

Give us a bell when you settled her in ; )

 

enjoy it mate it looks fantastic. Ive a white version 5 sti wagon that was fresh in the country last december an there was zero rust and all nice an standard low mileage too. i could have got a much younger Newage WRX or other performance car for similar money but just cant resist imprezas. Oh an whites the best colour.

 

Hi buddy great looking car, very clean too.
Just to point out, it looks like a version 5 though as the version 6 has a lower splitter on the front bumper and your car also has the version 5 spoiler too. The cars are almost identical apart from a few minor differences. Welcome to the "R" club....

 

Thanks guys,Tom I thought I recognised your profile picture before.
Shouldn't be long now,just waiting for the plates,got the insurance ready and even got a jetwash token in my wallet,woohoo.

Danny.

 

Ah gotcha,thanks mate I wasn't 100% sure as I haven't spent much time with it yet.
I keep popping up to take more photos as an excuse to sit in it for a bit.
This looks like a great forum with loads of info.It's gonna take months to read through everything.

Thanks.

Danny.

 

Im sure id heard you have to dip the clutch on the version six to start it as well as its uprated over the version 5 clutch.

version 6 cars came out from 6th september 1999.

 

Nice 1 mate

Hmm thats 3 Dannys i know including myself all with a white sti type r

Im sure you will love her more than your evo . As for BMW i do have a soft spot for them aswell, so i just buy the wife bmw's and i buy subarus for myself get the best of both

 

Looks nice!
Out of interest, how much are these going for at the moment?

 

Well its a fresh import and with the exchange rate not in our favour it must be pretty strong money

I guess 7K+

 

Looks nice. Welcome BTW.

 

Looks lovely mate I've got a V5 Type R in White too! Just started to strip it down to give it a full refresh and new engine etc it'll take a while!! Enjoy your new purchase

 

Nice Classic Type R...........

 

Good guess mate,it was up for £6995 but managed to get it for £6300.
I'm not very good at haggling.I always cave in first.

Danny.

 

Looks really nice mate

 

Lovely looking car fella, £6300 is all the way though. Suppose you have to pay a premium at a dealer though.
This one looks amazing value https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444...-only-60k.html

Wonder how long you will manage to keep it standard, when that bug gets ya it doesn't let go, lol.

 

Thats great haggling! With the exchange rate what it is, i'm suprised you got them to drop anything. I know SVA wouldn't when i tried. Cracking steering wheel too, got one on mine.

Not sure about them having an uprated clutch, but i can confirm about pressing the clutch pedal to start it. Foxed me when i test drove a version 6 Type R V Ltd.

 

looks tidy!
