hi

i'm toying on the idea of the above as my next new car but was wondering which is the quickest and best spec i like them both lots but how can you decide as there both really nice motors, i just thought i,d ask some people who might no.

thanks for any info

There's a huge difference in prices between the WR1 and RB320.WR1 start at 11k, RB320 £19k. Both rated at 316ps.

both very close performance wise but the wr1 would be my choice as its a far more unique looking car to the rb320 because of the colour.both are limited editions so will hold their price better too

better still buy mine,it's in the for sale section.it'll leave a standard "1" for dead

Both over-priced parts bin specials. Buy a JDM and enjoy.....

a ecutekked STi is better than both...

i agree mate but some people like the fact that it is a limited edition

hence one of the reasons i bought a p1 over the type r and paid a little for it to. thing is though i pass blob / hawk scoobs all the time and to be honest i dpont pay them much atention but when i see a wr1 or more importantly a rb320 i cant help but check them out.

to the original op, i would not buy a wr1 in std form it would have to have suspension mods such as adjustables and some whiteline gear on it to, take a look at the steve has for sale on here it is a very good spec but if it were me i would have the rb320 due to newer chassis so more r&d time spent on them, the 2.5ltr lump with a few choice mods will produce more power and i dont think i need to say any thing more than its a RB320!!! sexy as hell in my book, one of those along with my current p1 and a 22b would see me a very happy man

best of luck what ever you do i suggest test driving both in std form and see what you think

i bought a p1 back in 2001 as i knew no better but still think as a complete package for me it is better than type r but wr1/rb320 are just ppp with extra bits but if you want one drive a few as rb320 i drove handled very badly!!

thanks for the info guys i will check the websites out . i didnt realise a ecuteked sti was quicker than both i thought these were the daddys of the impreza , i just like the idea of a limited edition it makes them more special to me ,maybe i need to test drive them all first . thanks again !!!

thanks

No, you can get a normal JDM or a Spec-C which is a lightweight more focused version of the JDM,

Offiicial figures have the WR1 quicker than RB320 both 0-60 and 0-100 I think

Both awesome cars, as said before big price difference between the two.

I have a WR1 and love the unique colour but its not to everyones taste.

Drive them both to see, one thing I hate about RB320 is blue carpet, can't believe the didn't change it to grey or something

Leather interior is awesome though.

RB320 will have some warranty which you can then extend if thats important to you. WR1's will be in last year of that if the owner has kept it going beyond the manufacturers period.

According to LetsTorqueBHP - Home the RB320 is 100kgs heavier - hence the WR1 is quicker.

the WR1 or RB320 is special becos you think its special. looks no different than the rest, it is just a normal STi with PPP to me, you cant just put a different colour or different wheel and give it a number to called it "special edition"... ..what is that going to make a spec C then?? daddy for all specials?

There is one only true special and to me is going to be the 22B

p1doc

fair point 2.2l with full rally arches etc=special you win hands down lol

good point mate.... a Spec C and RA-R is even more "something else"and both really quite a piece of engineering and 22B it is really quite a special car.

22B still the best. The only other true (UK) Ltd Edition was the P1 the rest were just parts bins specials.

^^^^^ agreed

Haha, altho I am biased........

Yes but there must be something about the engines in P1's as the warranty renewal I got through recently specifically excludeds P1's !!
Wr1 RB320 can be covered.

What do they know that we don't ??

Japorter

I think it could be down to the age of the car, BMW refused to renew my wife's 52 reg Cooper S, due to the age of the car, not necessary something wrong with it. I could be wrong

Haha, yes...P1's are 9years old!
There is also the matter of bottom end failure that is well documented, in short, due to the fact Ecutek software hadn't yet been developed.
