Default Saxo sold, new toy now:)

It was a sad day, but sold saxo and now have got myself a new turbo toy
1995 WRX JDM Import.
Cambelt and service are 1st things to do for sure, but closer after I am looking at facelift grill, lights etc.. and STI Spoiler, be rude not too

Its VERY standard at the moment and ariel looks awful up, but its a new begining , to a new chapter, thats 8 years of driving with 8 different cars !!!! mad man!!!!!! lol

Its got 95k on, so its about 60k miles.

The sound of the flat four is just beautiful, thers nothing like it

This is my toy untill loans are paid of and then it will be EVO 8 Time,.

But for now, I am enjoying the 250 horses its provides>

Thanks
JQ
Old VTS




New WRX

Nice little Saxo there, not like so many others you see

The WRX looks very tidy and it looks pretty standard too which is a good sign for a starting point Face lifting them is a good mod and a very common one too because it really brings them back up to date. I think you only need the headlights, grill and bonnet for that.

The bonnet is a different shape due to the lights and grill. This is a nose on shot of a later classic so you get an idea.

JQ - you've got a nice and tidy looking classic there - JDM scoobs are very good. Don't rush into any mods - have a look around on this site and go throught the pics will give you an idea of the different styles.

alright been on here for a year or so now, couple mates on here. evo was a very very fast car, had quite a bit done but was getting on a bit and cost me a fortune in the 6 months had it, gearbox, diffs, brakes, clutch,ayc etc etc.handled mint but was so hard, expensive insurence the list goes on, tho think ive made the right choice going to a scoob, sound nicer too
