Default How many Subaru's in Ireland?

Hi,

I was just wondering how many Subaru's are in Ireland? Also do poeple modify them or leave them mainly stock with maybe a remap?

Cheers,

There are thousands in Ireland North and South all shapes and sizes, some stock standard some very seriously modified.

Too many to count anyway

They are common as muck - according to people who drive golfs and mondeos.

I saw 3 today and 2 yesterday so at least 5. Oh and Sloaners to, thats 6.

I may have missed a few however as they can be hard to distinguish from other family cars ;-)

Is there a prize for the closest answer?

I'd doubt there's more than 97 because Ireland's smaller than a USA family pizza and the 98th one would fall into the Atlantic!

Well the reason I am asking is, I would like to make a trip over there in 2005, as I tune Subaru's in the United States for a living, and would like to visit some friends while I am there and tune some Subaru's.

Somebody once told me that the ratio of subaru's to people in Ireland was higher than anywhere else, but I don't know if that's true. Probably got something to do with all of the rallies we have and our long rallying history.

Well if you are itching to tune a couple of cars to keep yourself amused you can take a look at mine.

Tuned Subarus in Ireland and Northern Ireland arent that common. Apart from basic upgrades such as exhaust etc, most seem reluctant to spend any money on them.

Fuel and insurance are both expensive, which doesnt help matters.

Well thanks for the replies. If I do head over there I will let people know, just wanted to see what it would be like to tune in another country with better octane.
