Hi all

The difference in the two cars is amazing although i cant have much fun yet as im still running the engine in but that wont take me long lol

thanks ian

 

Very nice mate, love the wheels

 

Looks clean... whats the spec, and how much did you pay for it?

 

hi thanks for the comments

spec is completly standard except for a turbosmart supersonic bov
samco hose kit and a tsl firestorm backbox and centre to be fitted shortly
only done 162 miles since rebuild paid just under 7k but i got a good deal from jase at scoobybits top man

 

Very nice

 

Very nice, enjoy

 

Very nice, indeed

 

Looks cool matey!!

 

Yep goto agree there, those wheels look the dogs mate

 

id never been in a type r before i test drove this but i loved it from the off and had to get it they are a different car altogether
your car is very nice robin you have spent some £ there

 

yeah i wasnt to sure about the wheels to start with but they have grown on me they are thge pffr7 wr1 style i think

 

Might look at a set for my white wagon

 

Nice car, you won't regret it. Theres also a dedicated type R and RA forum started recently.

 

yeah dill i registered on there on saturday

 

Right you are, I'll pop over there and say hello to.

 

the only problems i have found on the car is that when i accelerate water comes out of the rear washer onto the window which i have never known before?
and i have no clue how to get the stereo out lol

 

Ianch - was just talkin about you today down at SB with Jase, I bought a 99 Type R Limited off him a few weeks back and been lovin every minute of it!! White wheels on mine too!!

 

cool only good things i hope was yours the blue one m8?

 

Git, I was -> <- close to getting white 18's on my mica black when I fubared my 17" anthracites on a pothole from hell. I was weak and didn't stick with my decision. I see your car in those pics and it is laughing at me for 'going for gold'. Nice car there dude .

What is the sound from the Supersonic BOV like? I have one that has just been fitted on at the tunres instead of my Bailey DV10. Sounds like a silly question I know but worth a try!

Cheers,

Nick .

 

lol i wasnt too sure about white wheels but now i love them
the supersonic sounds awesome though i havent used it in anger yet as im still running the engine in but it sounds much better than a forge one i had on a previous scooby hope this helps

 

Awesome car mate, it looks immaculate!

I would love a black Type-R but my missus is having a baby so I'll keep my 4 door for now.

Black has got to be THE colour to have, but I would say that, my last 4 cars have been black.

They're a bitch to keep clean aswell!

 

yeah im not looking forward to that much cleaning lol dont think white wheels wil stay clean long either but its worth the effort

 

What a stunning looking car that is, not usually too fussed about black cars but that does look fantastic!

 

A gorgeous black one up for sale !! and with white wheels

Subaru : 99 STI Type R

 

Nice Car Mate

 

nice choice bud, enjoy

 

i think the paint is the black mica as it has reddish flecks in it code is 47A
anyone know if im right?

 

my one has a habbit of doing this too but normally under hard acceleration
aint done anything or looked into it likes

very tidy motor you have there bud

 

Gauges

go down the 12v switched stuff and if your centre console looks like that then happy days .

 

thats mad i have a type R STI, and mine does that as well, it must be a seal, or perrished rubber, its just strange that when you give it beans it cleans your rear window.

good luck with your car though mate, and your right, they are sooo different from 4 door scoobys in the way they drive (DCCD )
