But when I looked closer i realised they were all Peugeot 306's.

I wonder if Subaru had to pay Peugeot to borrow their paint plant for a weekend??

UHF

shoulda gone to spec savers

CraigH

Why? He hasn't actually bought a WR1

p1doc

it is also identical to a skoda colour!!
say no more!! or the wr1 owners club will come on about how their car is the greatest apart from t25,spec c,jdm05,ecutec mapped cars etc

And a Rover colour

hugo

I saw a duck sitting on top of a WR1 the other day trying to hatch it

hugo

Oh well, I seem to have killed this thread!

That is so true about the rovers and why do they all have **** exhausts?

hugo

Thanks Paul, I thought I was a Scoobynet social outcast for criticising the WR1 coulour there

You probably are now

Gutmann pug

I think the 306 looks better in the colour

Johnny WR1

I think you're flogging a dead 'orse mate.

I've had mine about 5 days now, and the first thing EVERYONE has said is, "That's a cracking colour!". And I have yet to hear what a female thinks of it.

p1doc

well i will agree with my 2 year old who had a backseat drive in a demonstator wr1-she went urgh at the colour and agreed mine was faster
the diffs appear to whine when accelerating/cornering-the dealer said they all do this?
martin

LiamWR1

LMAO - are you bored or just trying a feeble wind up?

Yet again a sadcase starts a slagging match! oh well I'm bored as well so I'll start..... the WR1 is the fastest and the colour is the best colour known to man (or woman).... YAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNN

p1doc

i am not starting a slagging match merely asking a question regarding the differntials of a wr1 and how on the prolonged test drive i took i found the differentials to be whiney .
as far as i understand i am allowed to ask questions and as it is a valid point if i was to put 20,000 miles a year on a car and it was accompanied by a whine every time the diffs came into play.
this means you are either unable to understand the question or you are upset by a 2 yr old's comments?
i await you hopefully articulate and intelligent reply
martin

Johnny WR1

Well, to answer your question, while respecting yet disagreeing with your opinion on the colour , I can't say I have noticed 'whiney' diffs on mine...

subaru-impreza.org

Just out of curiosity.... Did you notice the noise when it was at a certain speed? something at 65mph? or was it general noise?

Thanks in advance for any response

MillieWR1

No noise form my diifs, had 3 previous scoobs this is the first of them that has had folks stating its the best colour they have seen the car in. Perhaps becuase it is different ?

chris's scooby

Have any of u found if u hit a bump 'off throttle' there is a one off thudding noise coming from the region of the centre diff?

My nearest and dearest has spotted it and i just wanted to know if i should get the dealer to look at it on Saturday when it goes in for its service?

hugo

Helluva lot of whining goin' on in this thread!

Johnny WR1

Had 4 guys come up to me this evening - one of them has a Scoob and wanted to know the colour code as he is getting his car re-sprayed and wants something just like it.

P1_BEN

Also had the same compliments on the car colour. Everyone has said it looks better than the old P1 although maybe because they know how mad I am abou the car and they just don't want to hurt my feelings. Certainly gets a lot of compliments and looks though.

Also at the local ferrari dealer there is a brand new 575 in the same colour...!!! Looks awesome... better than the WR1

p1doc

the whining which appeared to be coming from just in front of the gearbox was most noticeable when cruising at ~80,i dont know if it was because i was not concentrating on cornering/accelerating!?! or due to quietness of exhaust on cruising.the dealer who i know quite well said all wr1's have this noise due to diffs,especially when doing low speed turns eg car parks.i found it quite annoying but cannot remember jdm owners moaning about it?
martin

MillieWR1

Not had any diff noise other than that you mention when turning at low speeds, still running her in though so not used the DCCD so not sure if this is affecting the issue.Whilst about diffs, Interestingly I was out in a WR1 on a Prodrive Live day this week, Mike Wood did a couple of laps , (did not notice any noises either ), but established that he keeps the DCCD in auto mode, as he feels the car is set up right in this mode. Any Ideas why we have them then May just not use mine as his car seemed well sorted.

WR1 Ant

Had mine for 10 weeks now and everybody thats seen it have said without any prompting "love the colour" or words to that effect have yet to find someone who dislikes the colour or someone who don't coment on it apart from the green eyed monsters on here, I know its down to personal choice but heres how it looks so far:

love the colour: loads of people,
dislike the colour: no one yet (apart from people on scoobynet who can't afford one),
no comment about colour: no one yet,

so guys the general public say the WR1 colour is a very nice colour..............

"flamesuit on" LOL

njkmr

Have had exactly the same response,love the colour.

Johnny WR1

Had the car a week. Can't go anywhere without people commenting - it happens every time I am out in it. I drove past a junction today and a guy on a pushbike, waiting for me to pass, yelled out, "Beautiful!". I assume he wasn't talking about me.

coolangatta

You were going too fast M8, he actually shouted "Beautiful...........car shame about the colour"
No I jest, I like it A LOT although I've not seen it in the flesh yet.

regarding diff whine on JDM models, my STi8 whines like a goodun. Quite like it myself.

And as to ref to WR1 looking like a 306.DOH!!
Pug enthusiasts will never recover from the demise of the 205 1.9 GTi
The best hot hatch ever, and Peugeot have no idea how to get back there.
