My 555 isn't a 555
I went with a mate of mine to look at an Impreza today and after looking at the car and talking Imprezas the seller asked me what I had. I told him I had a version 2 555 and he asked me if it was a real 555. I replied yes it's the real deal and he went on to tell me that most people think that because their cars have 555 stickers on they think it's a 555 and he has a point but he blew it when he asked if mine has the DCCD and I replied no :lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:
"it's not a real 555 then" was his reply :rolleyes: He claims to have owned every model Subaru over the last 10 years and claims my car isn't what it really is :lol1: When I explained that the 555's don't have numbered plaques he told me it's just a version 2 sti then :lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1: Kind of sums up the market we are looking at :nono::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1: |
Lol somebody tried to tell me they had a White one once!
|

Lol, mate of mine said "My mate knows Subaru`s and its deffo a Jap import, cos he says so. He knows much more than you ever will!".
Even though it had no rear wiper, no rear ariel, no Japanese on the slam panel (English), the ariel was in the drivers door pillar, there was a bright switch, and had abs. None of the classic JDM signs, even the V5 turned out to say UK2000 lmfao, but he was adamant!! There are massive wangs around!! |

It's just guys who 'think' they know more than they actually do.
The amount of times I've heard things like, "yea mate my RA has got thin glass and lightweight panels all made from aluminum". I just agree with them now as can't be arsed to explain how they know fook all about Subaru's. Yea Paulo, I reckon you've painted your car 555 blue and fitted a roof vent. Bloody wannabe.........lol. |
And what about the White P1 ;)

But to talk balls, I had a guy walk up to me and say is that your car (My scoob), to which I replied yeah. He then gave me a speech describing how his Evo was better in every way, and blatantly making up things. To which I replied "She`s and ex works Subaru Rally car with 580bhp, and I had to remove the roll cage to make it road legal!" Blatantly taking the pi$$, but he took it as real and said "Sorry fella, must have got my wires crossed." then walked off. To say my mates and I were creased was an under statement!! But just goes to show that sometime to over come bull$hit, you need to give more!! |

The guy said he had a V8 Vauxhall Vectra B, and that was standard. I know a LOT about those cars and they only ever had a V6, so knew I could yank his chain pretty hard without being found out.

Clueless! :eek: I've been selling a few bits on ebay recently including a chipped ecu and I had a reply from someone telling me their car ran 18psi as standard (version 1 & 2) :rolleyes: Sure it does but does it run it safely! :eek: No reply given! :rolleyes:

Lol when I bought mine with a dead engine, it had a manual boost controller, first thing I did was give it away. But the amount of people who have suggested I fit one as theirs went MUCH better, and when asked to where theirs are, they say oh it started knocking lmfao.

I can see another thread brewing here "clueless Impreza owners" and their daft claims :lol1:

Even some garages dont know cars! When i was thinking about changing my P1 a few month ago at a garage! The sales guy said that a good look alike P1. I explained to him its a Genuine P1 model! Then he went on about P1s have 4 doors? oh dear :cuckoo:

Lol I recently came across a guy on here that was adamant that there was absolutely no deference between v2 wrx and v2 sti, despite telling him different
intercooler, slightly racier cams, and lighter shims, he wouldn't accept it at all and branded me the guy that didn't know anything, very irritating. It's a shame the Subaru community can't all get together and dispel some of the myths that fly around... |

I was told by a mechanics place that I was doing some mapping at that his V3 wrx was 460bhp. Enquiring further genuinely interested I investigated under the bonnet to find, std tmic, std turbo, no ecu etc etc. He told me it runs 2 bar of pressure normally. When I asked about what he'd done transmission wise, he told me the centre diff was the weakest point so he had it removed to run the power.
Ermmmmmm.............help?!?!?! Graham |
