As being part of the Subaru community for quite awhile now I thought it was time for a change and was perfect chance to scratch an itch I've had for a very long time,


Picked it up last weekend and can honestly say it is amazing (never thought I would say it)

Here it is 2007 IX FQ360












My other previous cars

Out of the box they are epic in comparison to the majority of subarus, however they dont quite have the character of an Impreza.

Dan-

Best £50 I ever spent buying that Diesel van

As soon as I read the thread title, I knew it would be an Lancer Evolution . As much as I love Impreza's, I do view the Evo's as a more expensive grown up type of car.

I miss my Evo, it felt fast and always got positive admiration from young to old.

I'm torn about getting a white V or VI.

but...

Evo lads on MLR are having an hard time accepting my 300lbft Newage has just run 12.44 and 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds with wheelspinning 8yo budget tyres, low compression and a caliper piston sticking on. I think I'll keep the WRX, lol.

This is the most sensible thing I have ever seen you write on here.

In what way ? And don't spout bollox about Facebook pages , I'm talking about the car.

Its a weird one for me. I know the evo is the better car, but they do literally nothing for me whatsoever? I look at a nice Impreza and think "yes, that's nice". I look at a nice evo and think "evo"?

Evos are good cars ive driven four different versions up to 400 bhp but I drove the 400 bhp 10 miles and got use to it And new I would be bored of it in 5 minuits I just love the old flat four but scratch the itch you will be back ;-)

Lovely evo - looks very nice in red

I've got a 7RS daily driver, and an impreza in bits in the garage. The evo is a perfect family car IMO - even the boot is bigger than the impreza

Dan-

Oh ill be back I need to try a Spec C still


best of both worlds, Just annoying they need services after a week aha

Dan-

Go back 12 Months and I literally couldn't stand them, my friend picked this up is September and come and picked me up and then I realised what all the fuss was about, twin scroll turbo so literally no lag and pulls hard up to the red line and out on track with cruddy tyres and standard suspension I couldn't keep up with him I had kw V3s, Good tyres, Good alignment but the car just wanted to understeer

It could be worse you could of bought that mazda 3 thing with a poo.5 engine subaru dumped on us in 2008.

Well that looks nice! No flat four though :P

Dan, those PFF7's on your old blob.......did I sell you those a few years ago?

Dan-

Might well have done mate, did I meet you in high Wycombe ?

John Mathewson

See No Evo Hear No Evo Fear No Evo. Watch the yaw control don't throw you in a hedge :-)

Shaun

Cracking car!

I came so close to pulling the trigger on a number of these over the years..... too similar to my SPEC C at the time though really.

Enjoy!

Dan-

thanks bud, A spec C is 100% next on the list for me, I set out to buy a Hawk Spec C or RA but went to see the hatch STI and i was sold the 2nd i saw it!

After about 6-8 Months of owning this ill be on the lookout i imagine

Superb looking carjust make sure you stay on top of the maintenance and make sure the paintwork is always waxed up all of the time,or that lovely red will turn pink pretty quick.SJ.

Scoobynet is so confusing

I like it I'd like to scale down and end up with the S202 and one of these

Dan-

Thanks man

It's booked in with a friend to be mopped but have told him to go very easy with compounds as I've rubbed through the pink mirrors by hand 😂

The only thing which will cause to do any different is the AYC I'll do the oil myself like I always have with scoobys every 3-4K but I'll have to pay a specialist to do the 9k service 😩

Dan-

I don't think that car was very well, when the friend I bought this off took me out it was totally different! Unfortunately it's not an MR though but I can live with that.
