Default Type R Impreza

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/impreza-sti/rare-453bhp-forged-subaru-impreza-sti-type-r-6-speed-gearbox-simtek-ecu/2726782 Really tempted by this after seeing my deal for the White Type R fall through - opinions will be grateful. Thanks.

It's nice but not for that money. Plus I wouldn't have put the swirl pot so close to the rear crumple zone... Might be practical boot space wise but that part of the floor will fold in a rear shunt and fuel will spray everywhere.

Would rather buy this and spend £5000 modding it so I know what's in it and how it's been put together.

No idea why this link isn't working! What's the crack with these dealers then?!

they operate under several names but its the same con merchants, have a wee search and you'l pull up some informative threads on their great customer service..

I asked about this one a couple of weeks ago mate - it's the dealers themselves do not have a very good rep. There is even a Facebook page dedicated to people who have had bad experiences with them. The seem to change their name at will. Here's my thread:

https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...-this-car.html

Another thread:

https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...ce-please.html

Here is the FB page:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/Ches...ecars/?fref=ts

Hope this helps - I was looking at this car myself and binned it from feedback on here and others

Thanks, mate. I'm looking for a nice Type R and with this being in close proximity to where i live it kind of ticked all the right boxes. However after the feedback (Mainly negative) I'll probably just swerve it altogether!

Don't think that is an STI, looks like a WRX with STI stickers.
