Default Gravel Express!

Hi guys,

Thought I'd stick this up as maybe of interest to someone on here, I've read about this model but never seen one for sale, price seems pretty cheap also, one for the collector or perhaps some light off-roading!

I contemplated at looking at this a while back. But the insurance quote was ridiculous so I never bothered

And tbh I think it's a funky motor. Bet would turn some heads when breathed upon.

Being 25 , insurance company's don't like dealing with import cars especially turbo imprezas and I hadn't owned turbo car prior.

Went UK newage in the end insurance was near as the same on my old1.6 focus. And tbf not seeing to much difference in running costs either!

Essentially it's just a WRX underneath. There's a brochure over on typeRA.com they do weigh quiet a bit with all the bull bars and spare wheel on the tailgate etc.

If had the time and money would love to drop a fully forged lump in one. Wacking great big turbo and leave it looking ropey on the outside. And go chase porches all day long lol

Think there's a guy on here who turned his into a track toy
