Can anyone think why?

1. You haven't had an inheritance ?

2. You haven't robbed a bank ?

3. You haven't won the lottery ?


That do ?

Paul@dbtuned

#1. No.

#2. No.

#3. and No.

Gridlock Mikey

Apart from that

Jaydee5

Oh, I see Change the rules now, why don't you

3 reasons not enough any more

Gridlock Mikey

Nope. It's just that I actually felt bored in mine today, don't reckon I can hack another 12 months to be fair. Need a change, won't be buying new again cos that hurt last time, but don't want to change for a "lesser" model. Reckon I have paid me dues, time for a full fat version
30k on the clock, PPP, Black and preferably free

Dazza01

They have a gorgeous Silver 53 plate STi near me Mikey, 13k i think it is lightly tinted side and rear windows even got little swoosh's on the side passenger windows :

Get a P1. All newage scoobs fellate most criminally.

Gridlock Mikey

Took a P1 out for a blat a few months ago, took it back, hammered out a deal, paid me deposit and I'd phoned the dealer before I entered the second roundabout to cancel. It wasn't different enough or nowhere near as brutal as mine It was unmodded to be fair but from behind the wheel it just wasn't different enough. It looked fantastic from the outside as they do, but the inside was just the same as mine without the gauges and when all said and done, I preferred the driving experience in mine. My heart did the deal and my head (and Ame ) cancelled it
STi8 though, feels different enough to justify the cost, I'm 36 and I can honestly say, I've been there and done that as far as having a loud, brash, overt scoob is concerned.
A nice clean, black example with silver wheels, flaps and tints (and obviously the "proper" spoiler) with a warm sounding exhaust. that's the one for me I think ****** off to get slippers and small dog to curl up on his lap*

Jaydee5

Aww, Mikey You've gone and grown up...no more Peter Pan

That's very nearly a *sensible* car you're dreaming of























I like black, I do

Bubba po

Mikey, how can it be less brutal than yours? It has high power, short gearing.... What's yours putting out?

scarey

1) rear shocks knocking

2) tracker flattens battery

3)

I've been extremely happy with mine (53 reg STI Type UK) and have had it for nearly a year. Indeed, the only thing I don't like about it is the depreciation, which I have to say has been much worse than I expected...

The running costs, insurance, mpg, etc - none of that stuff has been any worse than I anticipated, but I guess you're used to those factors anyway.

I can't think of any reasons for you not to buy one, especially now that the depreciation must surely be slowing down. I can't see the Seat-style latest revision being any more popular than the bugeye in the long run, so the blob eye may well hold its value a bit better in years to come.

Having said all that, I do think that P1's and 22B's are gorgeous...

Bubba po

Why don't people worry about depreciation when they buy a washing machine?

C2forWRX

mate is your sti black and very loud? and do you play golf? have seen one at ingleby barwick driving range thats all

lordretsudo

Because a washing machine doesn't cost in excess of £20K, that's why!

Unfortunately not. It's the usual boring(!) Subaru blue, only mod's are flaps, backbox and recoated black/chrome alloys. There are quite a few newage STI's (and WRX's) in Ingleby, but not many classics, strangely enough...

its not a 2.5

might be worth test driving a 2.5 as if they are still making the impreza in 3 years time will prices of the 2 litre be hit

don't get mne wrong, I ve never been in a 2.5 but if i was buying now think it would be top of my list

C2forWRX

Well im forever at that driving range so il keep em peel'd for ya

cfc2

Had my black sti for 6 months now, went for the 333.. too.....Still think the speedo is inaccurate, still impressed with it's pulling power, had a nice tussel with a black evo on the m25 for about 1 min till common sense took over loved it... love me car, cant recommend tsl high enough....

Gridlock Mikey

It's all about the Tek 3 and the tourque

TonyG

1. It won't have white wheels.
2. It won't have a flamer kit
3. It won't have a f******* hoooooge Scooby Doo on the tinted back window

.Well, not when you buy it

TonyG

And I can't believe that you're getting "old and sensible" at 36... I didn't

Gridlock Mikey

I'm not, just fancy a change but don't want to leave scoobies. Want to drive a more refined hooligan
Hmmm White wheels on a black car Could be onto something there and as for the flame kit, it only takes half hour to fit
Also was thinking of scoobydoo heads in STi pink on the wing mirrors

TonyG

STi PPP in black - how about black wheels? With tints, it could be the total stealth look.
Not sure about pink Scooby Doo heads though...

You'll always have the nagging doubt that you should have bought a JDM car instead

STi wanna Subaru

iTrader: (1)

If you stopped smoking you could afford a new one

Gridlock Mikey

Washing machines are considerably cheaper, and you're not as likely to want to trade it in for a new model ?

Both shocks replaced under waranty on mine, not had the second problem so far

You want to speak to supertouring gridlock, he may have this for sale:

Hello chaps,

I've been off the forum for quite some time and now back because its time for a change of vehicle... from my beloved classic to a new shape.

I'm after a MY03 STi preferably with PPP and not in WR Blue. In fact I want the one in the pic above. If the owner wants to sell please get in touch.

I'll post in the wanted section as well.

Sorry to hijack the thread... but I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't buy an STi8 (MY03)!
