Sold the Evo, bought this!
Just sold my Evo FQ320 VIII MR (had 2 scoobies before that but I was drawn away to the dark side...), but having got that old chestnut out of my system, I've returned home to buy this little fella...
2006 STI PPP (320ps, 332lbs) Prodive Spring Kit + 'fast road' geometry set up 18" RB320 wheels http://www.visualize.uk.com/photos/s...et/scooby1.jpg Been very pleased with it :) http://www.visualize.uk.com/photos/s...et/scooby2.jpg http://www.visualize.uk.com/photos/s...et/scooby3.jpg Had the wheels / prodrive springs fitted and been very pleasantly surprised by the handling (esp. having come from the pin sharp Evo). Here's my subjective scores on the 2 cars: Handling: Evo 9, STI 8.5 (both very good but Evo just has the edge for the dart like steering) Performance: Evo 9, STI 9 (both awesome but I personally prefer the scoobie torquey delivery) Engine / exhaust sound: Evo 3 (dull note and whiney engine except maybe at full tilt), Scooby 10 (non-biased!) Interior: Evo 5, STI 8 Day to day drive: Evo 7 (bit tiresome on long runs), Scooby 9 Running costs: Evo 5, STI 7 Finally... Soul and character: Evo 6, Scooby 9. The Evo ticks all the boxes in terms of performance and handling etc but lacks a soul for me, Scooby has loads more character. All IMHO of course :lol1: Clarkey |
welcome back :thumb:...and ditto the above ......that is why I never bought a Evo :)
|
Welcome back and nice car. Needs a front lip splitter to finish off the RB320 look.
|
very nice, wannna swap ;)
|
My missus loves them in black. I had better not show her yours :)

What's that hanging off the front spoiler?
I think it would finish the car off nicely. |

What you on about? It clearly doesn't have a front splitter.
Yes it would look even better with one. |
Those wheels must have set you back a few quid. Very nice.
I never understand why Subaru do it though... sell a car as a special edition and then sell the extra bits off it separately anyway lol Crackers. |

Looking at your Hawkeye it is 'clearly' my mistake as the front/side bumper has the appearance of a splitter. Soz
Yes it would look even better with one. Mine is also deceptive as, despite being stated as amod in my profile, the splitter is not on the car in my photos just to complicate matters... |

Hi Tony love the grill where did you get it from? Never heard of Zunsport!
|
Welcome back,stunning car you've got now:thumb:
|
welcome back, glad to see you ahve seen the light, very nice scooby mate
|
Black, has to be the best colour:norty:
Nice motor and welcome back ! |
I love hawkeyes...got one myself. The wheels look really good;) At first glance I thought yours was an RB320.
But to be honest, I would pick an FQ over a scooby anyday tbh, maybe with the exception of the RB320. Plus, recaros are way better than the crappy seats in a scoob. |

I think the Evo has awesome handling and on the track in particular was superb, but all round not for me. Each to their own... Clarkey |

top car mate Your not 'settling' for anything there... WRX imports are awesome esp at 22... I had an XR2i at 22! :lol1: |

I do like the splitters. Whats' the ground clearance like once on? is it going to hit every speed bump around?! :) My mate has a supra, lowered etc... catches on everything at the front.
