tubbytommy 07 May 2012 07:51 PM

Proton satria gti. Same engine as the early lancer mitsi. 1.8 16v DOHC.

stevebt 07 May 2012 07:56 PM

I was wondering what make of car it was, does it need that many exhaust pipes :) I like how you avoided taking a picture from the drivers side as 99% of people would do that but then it would show the big rip in the drivers seat if you did :D

Myles 07 May 2012 07:58 PM

A very under-rated hot hatch in its day. Fun to drive, enjoy!

scooby red 07 May 2012 08:02 PM

I thought the lotus badge was a piss take. But just googled it and proved myself wrong. Dont look too bad actually. Least its different

mantazini 07 May 2012 08:13 PM

TBH it's a good little car, the suspension has been setup by Lotus as I remember. These were used for some track work as well. I have drove it and I think it's a fantastic handling car just a bit under powered. Thumbs up!

scooblet 07 May 2012 08:28 PM

Drivers side inside and out

No rips or tears just a bit of sagging on the bolster,no biggy.

Yeah its a shame about the power really just producing 130bhp but alot of people do the 1.8 turbo lancer engine conversions and that boosts the bhp up abit,there is a few running 300bhp on the owners forum. It really does handle well on the twistys too...

jimmy77 07 May 2012 08:43 PM

i had one fantastic lil car and great around the corners

Davey96wrx 07 May 2012 08:49 PM

They're a nice car, been looking for one to use on track actually..

Jamescsti 08 May 2012 10:11 AM

I remember these were good cars when they came out. Seems very cheap at £600 too.

Bicco 08 May 2012 11:08 AM

My first car was a Proton Persona Compact SEi 1.6 16v, before it became the satria, the handeling was very respectable even on my lower than GTI spec one. I was slow in general, but at 17, it was enough! Slightly quicker than my mates escort XR3i, and mullered it on any country lane. Aaa the memories....

ScoobyJawa 08 May 2012 12:03 PM

My mum had the 1.3, remember taking it to the Proton dealer in York, the salesman found out I had a 306 GTI-6 at the time and started slating it because the Satria was sooo much better - yeah mate LOL!!

wrx287 08 May 2012 01:07 PM

I do like these. Didnt a guy do a full Evo conversion on one?:wonder: Was around 600bhp IIRC.

Carlh 08 May 2012 01:30 PM

Looks like a b@stard child of a Pug and an MG.

tubbytommy 08 May 2012 01:47 PM

i like it, are those arch extensions standard?? they look a little screwed on!

rickya 08 May 2012 02:01 PM

Same as a Mitsu Colt Gti

bugblue1 08 May 2012 02:08 PM

L.J.F 08 May 2012 03:33 PM

I used to love these cars when they first came out and was so tempted to buy one. would make a great little track toy!

For the price of a decent set of wheels for an Impreza you've got a car that'll be reliable, cheap to run and fun to drive.

The biggest concern when running a tuned Impreza for me is the cost if and when things need doing. If I'd spent £600 on a car I wouldn't be bothered if it died on me! Infact sod's law states the less you worry about a car the less it breaks down and vice versa.

Nope this is how it came out the factory apart from the wheels.

Its exspensive to run tbh insurance is more than a impreza,paying £62 a month and it does 187 miles to £30 so not that great imo.

Glad some people like it though as i was expecting a slating!:thumb:
