What a shame...
 
Shame to wreck such a car, IMO it should be in the same league as 22b if it is a real TRIAL one.

Brun 17 December 2011 12:45 AM

Horrid looking thing.

initialD 17 December 2011 12:51 AM

when it came out in the 90s i believe ? it was awesome :D

gpssti4 17 December 2011 06:34 AM

Could almost say that's the best thing to happen to it.

mantazini 17 December 2011 07:13 AM

Well i'm looking at it as a collectors car if its genuine. The looks is not my cup of tea either.

;)

love the adidas stickers on the doors.....never knew they did go faster bits for scoobies.lol

initialD 17 December 2011 09:32 AM

LEE-WRX 17 December 2011 09:33 AM

Certainly looks like the "beasts from the east" car off the dvd
Not easy on the eye lol
:)

the hamster 17 December 2011 09:38 AM

Yup it's the car from the Beasts from the East vid. There's a thread about it running on SIDC.

TBH its pre-accident condition doesn't look great....looks tired and well used for such a alleged 'rare' car (ignore the damage in the pics and look at the undamaged parts).

The state of the engine bay is enough to make me question if its actually genuine/original or not, hell for all we know it could have had a stock WRX block plonked in there.

Still, a two door shell though, which is always worth a few bob.

need4speeduk 17 December 2011 11:04 AM

Bit of T-cut and some elbow grease and be right as rain :)

wr pete 17 December 2011 11:51 AM

It says on the DVD it's a 2.2 motor 350bhp. It is a shame to see it in this condition even though it's not to everyones taste alot of work has gone into this car.

initialD 17 December 2011 02:14 PM

what are these "trial" cars then ?? i thought it was just a tuned impreza with one off bodykit ? are they a limited edition ? i likey :D think the styling quite suits a scoob to be honest

CREWJ 17 December 2011 02:31 PM

Ah the video explains it. Does seem like a shame now you know what it is.

The Pink Ninja 17 December 2011 02:44 PM

I remember this from a few years back, Not a bad price at the moment considering whats is fitted, Oil cooler, Rotated turbo, Front mount, Seats, Cage, Also depending on block/heads/ecu etc....They give it a £9.5k value pre accident but this is prob a little on the generous side

It would make an ideal donor car for a track project IMO, But a week before christmas, I`m out

The commentary on the above vid is just annoying.

Try this vid instead;

wr pete 17 December 2011 03:53 PM

Yeah seen that one, a bit short on info though, just tells you the bhp no mention of turbo or 2.2 motor.

richgreenscooby1 17 December 2011 04:24 PM

Have a look at the turbo in the pic , its got a rotated set up , should be more that 350 surely ???

wr pete 17 December 2011 04:43 PM

Yeah 350 seems a bit low for twisted set up, but it was quite a few years ago. Looks to have had the dash converted to later v5 spec since the video.

f1_fan 17 December 2011 05:05 PM

While I am sure it was an impressive car mentioning it in the same breath as a 22B is just wrong!

chocolate_o_brian 18 December 2011 11:35 AM

Regardless of performance, it's another barry'd up mess with cheap tat stuck on it as well as a cereal box bodykit. Whoever likes that sort of sh1t needs their head checking (or moving across to a "cruize site innit blad").

Another inditement of the Subaru image :(

Fret not Andy that's an old old video, late nineties I think. The annoying voiced Hans Seeburg featured in the video. In it's day it was probably 'cool' but I wouldn't call it an indictment of the image as it's from yesteryear.:)

This thing is sort of on the same lines as a Koenig converted Ferrari 512TR

Ugly as sin and tasteless, but bloody hell does it shift and as rare as rocking horse poo.

Sorry fella and no offence but you are well off there with that statement. Trial Jp are in a different class to the nobs over here who build Barry boy ****e. And at the time that was the scene in 90s Japan just like veilside etc were building. I'm not saying I like cars to look like that coz I don't, but respect is due for their effort and hard work.
