RB 320 In the flesh!!
 

Just caught first glimpse of the new RB320 today on the lisburn road. Looked very nice indeed. In fact better in the real world than i thought. Not sure about the bright orange/red detail on the interior mats and gear nob etc. apart from that:thumb:

I think you should buy one daz and sell me your STI :D

I tell you what. I wasn't ashamed to park my scoob beside it. But unless i rob a bank or win the lotto i have no mission. Will have to stick with my own sti and mod it up to 320 BHP.

but thanks for the offer:thumb:

thought the 320 bit was for amount made and nothing to do with BHP????????

No, 320 PS@ 6,000 check out subaru uk. its all there!!

wasn't doubting you.. was a question mate ha ha.... thought i read it somewhere...

Tell you what, was over at Eastwoods last night and he has a brand new one sitting. Was tempted to throw in the sti and take out a massive loan. Wife would def kill me. I just made her sell her Mini cooper s convertible so that i could have my second sti.

Do you reckon she might think i am taking the piss?:wonder:

picked mine up on Weds

having a ball since weds, this is a totally different type of driving from my old ep3 , torque is incredible and thats even with limited to 4k revs running in, in gear accel is unbelievable and easily surpasses my heavily modded ep3.Power delivery is smooth without the type r drama, its a struggle to change gear to keep up with the forward thrust!Theres no such thing as bends anymore!Heres a static vid anyhows

Your 320 is fantastic. Fair play to you. Will be a real blast when you get her run in properly.

Did you buy it from Eastwoods?

got her from edwin long newtownards very good service even though not a franchised dealer theyve sold scoobys for years

Where's the leather interior, and the RB320 embossed logos?

Shaun

I can't even begin to tell you how jealous i am lol.

looks sweet tho

They didnt all come with leather, as far as i know it was an option as Eastwoods had one with just normal STI seats in it and another with leather and alcantara in it.

thought the leather option a bit soft and an expensive extra

opted for std trim only

Sorry, excuse the questioning, but if the leather is an optional extra, what makes the RB320 so special to justify a 29,995 price tag?

What "extras" do you get?

Shaun

Its got £6000 of extras on it compared to the normal STI as stated below:

Prodrive Performance Pack (320 bhp)

bespoke 18 ins alloy wheels and specially developed Prodrive
suspension comprising Bilstein dampers, a sports spring kit with revised rear anti-roll bar and a ride height lowered by 30 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear.

chrome mesh front grille
front lip spoiler
quickshift gearchange
side sill plates and RB320-branded gear knob
carpet mats and exclusive exterior badging
individually numbered black alloy tax disc holder.

And as a further incentive, those customers that placed orders with deposits were offered a limited number of places at a special RB320 launch event at Prodrive's test track in Warwickshire.

The lucky owners were able to take delivery of their RB320 and drive demonstration STIs around the track and meet rally celebrities.

second that Gawley. Bang on. What a lovely machine it is too.

Got my car of eastwoods on sat and seen the RB some fcuking car

was looking at in Donnellys a week or so back, nice motor indeed, not sure on the silver mesh tho.

wonder what it would look like without the mesh? or with the mesh painted black? might be overkill on the black theme.

I say stick a big front mount intercooler in there and take the mesh away altogether.
