Hello

How can I tell a if a 2005 Blob UK300 is a UK300 and not just a WRX that has had bits added to the interior and badges to the exterior to make it look like a UK300. Isn't there supposed to be a number out of 300 near the gear stick or anything else to look out for

 

Hi,


This should tell you all you need to know for sure.

Mark.

 

I'm pretty sure it should say on the log book.

 

cheers guys i tried the free hpi check but it just comes up as wrx turbo. I did a bit of searching and came across this

http://www.subaru-impreza.org/downlo...eza-wrx300.pdf

So at least it know what it supposed to look like

 

very easy to mod to look like it so dont go by that. If it doesn't come up as a uk300 on the log book i'd assume its not.

simply put its a wrx with bolt ons.

 

A blob wont be a uk300 anyway, The uk300 was a limited edition bugeye, The blobeye was a wrx300.

 

fair point actualy

 

Correct.

 

Recently sold mine and they don't say WRX 300 on the log book, don't have a number 1-300 either.
You could check subaru, sure they can confirm with the chassis number.

 

But aren't they just a wrx with extra bits stuck on anyway? May be a different engine map but isn't the running gear exactly the same as a wrx.

 

its basically a wrx ppp, with different interior, badges then some additional options like spoiler.

 

Yes, exactly the same, just a different map giving them 261bhp and a few cosmetic bits.

 

So why the hell do people pay upwards of £7k for them?

 

I know it's mad!
I paid £4800 for mine nearly 4 years ago,I got that back in part ex a few weeks ago and it's now up for £7999!
