Hi guys I am in the process of buying a 04 blobeye sti and my insurance say asked was it a type uk or wr1 and I said it will be a type uk. I don't have the reg at the moment to check with the dvla etc. So my question is will it be a type uk car? They are very funny with the name on the log book etc

Thanks

 

it could be either mate, generally if its a type uk it will have it on the badge underneath the sti logo if it hasn't and it has a rear wiper fitted itll be a jdm model.

wr1's are only available in a light blue colour too.

 

any pics of the car?

 

Thanks for the reply. I know its Deffo a UK car and has the ppp. I know the difference to a degree on most models Inc the wr1 and how to spot a jdm but I can't find the answer to this one unfortunately. I haven't seen a pic of the boot or under the bonnet for a type uk sticker either

 

Car is exactly the same as this

has it got a rear windscreen wiper?

 

cant see from the picture im afraid. The advert only had 1 picture until more could be taken. I'm waiting for salesman to get back to me. Having a ppp from factory including the certificate, i would assume its a uk car? it doesn't have the wind deflectors or rear privacy glass i would associate with a jdm model and nor have i seen a jdm with them wheels, not that im an expert or anything.

thanks for the reply

 

have you got a link to it?

 

Check the V5, mine clearly states Type uk

 

Wind deflectors are a 100 option from dealer.
Can be retrofitted to any car as they are just double sided taped on.
Rear wiper or orange dials are the giveaway as these are difficult to fit to a UK car

 

Also, if you start it up and it sounds like a nova with a coke-can exhaust, rather than the classic Subaru burble, then it's deffo a JDM

 

If its a wr1 it will have black interior and be a silly shade of baby blue

 

EFA....

 

Flol!!!

 

Thanks for the advice guys, i got the reg and did a hpi and it came back as a type uk so panic over.


Thanks

 

if you think sounding like an evo is a proper car, why did you buy a subaru?

 

If its a wr1 you also get a free cravat and a years subscription to sphincter weekly..

 

I just prefer better gas flow from my manifold and coming on boost earlier

 

decent set of unequal will be just as good

 

Not in a million years. Un-equal you will always have exhaust pulses smashing into each other. Why you think all high revving Subarus have equal length manifold

 

Come on Tidgy knows everything, that's why all his imprezas blow up

 

No i just go an ask some of the best experts in the country when i wana know an answer to what to fit to my car, i think pat knows a darn sight more than you do

 

Subaru must have got it wrong then when they insisted on the 2.0 twin scroll, equal length set up for their domestic cars then eh lol

Not ****ting on their own doorstep springs to mind

 

explains why theres no need for aftermarket ecu, or why the 2.5 keep ****ting itself, O wait subaru must have got that right as well

if you really wanna go and argue the point with pat be my guest, its very funny when people do question his technical knowledge

 

See above about their domestic market...

 

Jesus the scooby clinic fanboi is gonna have a heart attack.
I offered no technical advice at all but for what its worth i agree the 2.0 twin scroll newage is the way to go.
Hawk ra is the one impreza I'd go for out of them all.

 

So why didn't they just run JDM cars for rallying?

it's all about spec vs cost, the impreza is not the ultimate it could be

 

fanboi or shows loyalty, just because you don't poses any form of it. besides all your here to do is troll lol.

On a totlay serious note, you still got yours dan or you scoobless now?

 

Im after a wrx it's the fastest one you know....

 

classics mate, its the way of the future
