Right then guys some of you may know i sold my 05 type t25 a few weeks back after only a 4 months of owning it due to issues at work. was hard to watch it drive off but needs must and it was the right thing to do.:cry:

so there you go, that is the replacement to the type 25. If anyone can tell me who it used to belong to i will pop a bottle of NF booster in the post as he was kind enough to give me two bottle too.

kind regards (and sorry for the long post)

Looks nice mate and great power you got there

That looks fantastic, still looks nice and subtle untill you put your foot down
looks like a great spec too.

bet thats an animal !!! well done looks a great motor with a fantastic spec ;)

Tim(slightly envious):thumb:

That's Bob Rawles car :) (WAS)

And yes, it is an awesome motor :)

damn, bet that t25 seemed slow in comparison!!:)

Im thinking about moving from newage to classic myself. Not had one before so hopefully I wont regret it.

cheers tim, and yes it is but i am still yet to try it weather is poop round here at the minute and to go from a 350bhp newgae to a 500bhp classic it is a completly different animal so just taking it nice and easy to get used to it

and the bottle of NF goes to this man, yes it WAS bob's car and i have to say what a genuine and decent guy he is. i have used him for mapping etc over the years but he has answered all and i mean all of my stupid questions, pestering emails regarding the car he is a true gent.

and it truely is an amazing car

He is indeed a true gent.

So has Bob replaced the Scoob, or is he just sticking with the Porker now ?

I'll pm my address over Steve :)

Very nice:thumb:

just the porker at the minute but he was saying he was going ot get a uk 06 / 07 sti as ecutek (not sure if that bit is correct) are releasing a new ecu for the flyby wire throttle and he wants to get testing on it and i would assume do what he did to the classic and start from the begining and build up to a similar spec. so hence why he wanted to get rid of the sti 5 and i was lucky enough to be in contact with him regarding a p1 i was looking at that i saw on pistonheads that he had mapped and got talking about his sti 5 and then he said he would be selling in the new year but agreed to let me have it today!!! did joke with him that in 5 years i would buy the hawkeye off him

the type 25 was and is a bloody cracking car, could not fault it one bit other than the flat four burble not being there obviously due to the headers.

but yes mate i did ask bob kindly if he would be able to drive it as the weather has been bad and he obvioulsy knows the car better than anyone which he kindly did although he on managed about 2/3rd throttle due to the conditions but that was more than enough, never been in a car soo powerful so i am taking it easy at the moment.

in all honesty i like the newage, cleaner, fresher , more comfortable etc but they lack the raw'ness of a classic. before you buy or sell up i would test drive a couple first to make sure.

cheers mate

What an awesome car, great spec and nice late classic sti! Lucky bugger that falling into your lap

Nice, very nice :) think you need some more gauges though ;)

TX.

Edit - just read the spec :luvlove:

cheers james, it took 4 years to get my fingers on it but boy it was worth the wait. not a bad xmas present to myself huh.

TX cheers pal, the spec is ouyt of this world. the recipts for some of the work carried out shocked me the money that has been put into the car is something i could only of dreamed about doing myself.

hope to see some of you all at some track days next year

:cool:

bob rawles old motor, most impressive. not only do you know it will be a ROCKET you know its been well looked after by a guy who is defo in the know when it comes to subarus, and it will be well mapped. nice car fella

If it was registered in sept 99 and has sti 6 bits (can see the rear spoiler too) surely it is a Version 6? ie after august 99. Or is it a Version 5 on the chassis code?

I'd love a late STI classic like that.

I'm searching for a bugeye STI wagon myself, rare as hell but I'm in no hurry (just taken deposit on my sonic wagon and have my evo to use until find something)

Just going by what bob said James. It's sti 5 with sti 6 trim ie lip spoiler and rear spoiler. I will check the codes out, not sure what a 5 and 6 should be though.
And best of luck finding a sti bugeye wagon don't think they made many

Thanks, I know I'll be looking a while!

Have a look at this link and check against your chassis code, I'm sure Bob is right but may be worth a check as you never know..

Which Car is a WRX STi

Essentially it it's GC8FXXX it'll be v5, if it'd GC8GXXX it'll be v6.

cheers for that james i will take a look and let you know.

not sure but i tmight be worth you speaking to a few of the tuners they might know of some owners or i believe david at api imports the odd car so he might be able to source one for you.

Looking good mate

that is a fooking cool car . power is nice and you are a lucky guy . id love a car with that spec :thumb:

Remember seeing this when Bob mapped my Spec C + couldn't believe the power it was running when he told me! Out of interest what is & where does the bonnet scoop replacement come from? I'd love something similar on mine :)

TX.

Moley + maggy cheers for the comments, and maggy I always wanted to build something like this but found it hard to justify the money to do it so always settled for the 350 mark but to have the chance to buy a spec / car like this from a guy such as bob is just an added bonus as yiu know it's been looked after and yiu know for sure the mapping is spot on!

TX i am sure you can get them from roger Clark mate do think they are cheap though think a few hindered quid but with the money that was spent with them building the engine for the first time, let alone the second stage to take it further I hope it was thrown in lol.

Awesome car mate, very very nice - one question though, how does it drive with all that power? is it a complete animal?

martin - i am yet to really find out mate as the weather is poop here at the minute loads of ice all over the place so i am taking it easy but what i have seen is very very impressive its nothing like anything i have been in before let alone driven. i can understand why people go for more and more bhp as its something else. dont get me wrong 350bhp in a scoob is not slow and is a very capable car but 500 now that is as you put it an animal

Tracking number sent mate :) bottle of NF on its way :thumb:
