Default Not sure if I can get rid...

Been thinking of selling my STi recently, probably because it's just not getting used as much as it should!! Gotta sort out some niggly bits, exhaust leak and renew a couple of jubilee clips and then I'll take it for a wee blast, haven't driven it properly in aaaages!!

Took it up the road earlier for some fresh pics-

No don't do it Merv, you will regret selling it as soon as you see it drive away. I felt like that as I saw the S202 drive away but at least I knew there would be another Impreza replacing it.

Unless the Escort Cosworth has been seriously modified then it will not be a patch on your car, tbh the only car I would replace my Impreza with is an Evo 7,8 or 9.

Or wait for a GTR to come along at the right price a few years down the line.

You're not that far from me Fud There's a Morrison's about 7 miles from me that sells the E85 There's a low boost (380bhp @ 1.5bar) for when I can't get E85!

It's either the Cossie or an RS4 that would get me to sell
TBH!

Looks like the general consensus is saying keep it

I would say you've already made your mind up. So sell it.

I must admit I've been thinking about it in the last couple of months. But what would I replace it with???

I've fooked myself. Unless I'm spending big money then not alot is going to touch it. The only scoob I would have would be a spec C, but then I'd have to mod that. I do like the Evo 8/9 but again I'd have to throw a fare wedge at that too.

So I keep coming to the same outcome. Keep the car

The mrs said I can go twisted turbo next year if I keep it

I've already been in comms with Engine Tuner and they can work wonders with the Cossie

Looking at the pics reminds me of how much I love the Scoob, God this is annoying

Merv,

I love'd my cossies all 3 of them and yes of course they can be built to produce big power but you will need to keep spending of them, they are that sort of car i'm afraid. As long as you buget for the running costs then dont let me stop you.

Speak to Glenn he has had at least 1 and spent a fortune keeping it running sweet.



Good luck buddy
