Morning all ,
So a mature gentleman still going through a crisis just about sums me up , after hankering after a Subaru for some years (most spent in various celica gt4's ) I have just yesterday purchased an 03 plate Blob with an inferiority complex and thinks its an STI . loving the car so far , but 1850kg , really ? . I'm sure to ask all the usual newb questions knowing nothing about them...be warned..lol !

 

Good Morning & Welcome

Loving the user name

Get some pics posted.

 

Careful through the M3 roadworks average speed cameras!


Welcome aboard

 

1850kg ? Think that's the total gross weigh, as in a full tank of fuel ,passengers and luggage.

Unladen a 2.0 Sti should be around 1440kg

 

Hello, and welcome to scoobynet.

 

Aha I'm hearing , but being a mature sensible driver of course I wouldn't dream of exceeding the limit .


Oh and yes that weight figure would make more sense...Doh ! Got me asking myself how much the RA weighed lol .

 

About as much as a shoe lol.

 

A few quick pics...




Very pleased with the purchase so far , averaged 34mpg on the journey back , covering 214 miles mostly just cruising around 65-70 mph

 

STI Badge

 

Stick on roof turd!!!!!!

 

lol ...

 

Oh dear , better not post up any more then !

 

Welcome

 

Hello, welcome and enjoy your new car ,
i had a tuned white gt4 st185 wide body they handled very nice but heavy and there gearboxes was so soft went through 3 boxes

 

Thanks Ian and others for looking .
The 185's in particular were heavy beasts , I had a total of 4 in eleven years and apart from the import I bought with a fubared box I never had any other issues with any of them , a real labour of love to make quick mind .

 

I had a couple of MR2 Turbos, bullet proof engines!

 

I thought all mid life crisis men hung around Porsche boxster forums. lol

 

I said a crisis not utter desperation

 

LOL.
Welcome indeed.
