Question Possibly selling my classic for a Blob eye STI..

Here is the origional post from when i bought my Sonic Blue UK Classic..

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...eg-extras.html

All i've done to the car is add about 4000 miles to the mileage, Fitted a set of Propsport gauges in a centre pod and fitted an MY99 ECU (better than the MY00 item) i did this because of the decatted exhaust.It has STACKS of History and also a Tracker fitted although this isn't active.

Car has also just been Taxed for 6 months and has a Full MOT

After going on 2 tunnel runs now i'm really after a new age STI rather than modifying my classic as i miss the 320 BHP of my last WRX not that mine is slow by any means but...well you get what i'm saying.

Would i be wrong to set my lowest price for it as 4K?? Ideally i'd like more but i am realistic and i feel it looks awesome in the sonic blue and i'm not sure on what to do with the plate yet.

How much are PPP Blob Eye STI's going for nowadays??

You could go for a VF series turbo and remap and easily have over 300/300. You would have change out of £800.

Ideally bob i want a VF34 and a Simtec mate.Plus i'd want to fit a Walbro..

Money Money Money I just like the fact of having the MAFless system as i don't trust them at all.Might have to think about it.

Thats funny, we bought around the same time and we're both selling now.

tbh as prices are now, ide probably say that 4k would be your highest price not lowest although you never know..if some one like it then it may go for more. just advertise it above what your willing to take and see how it goes. you may get a good sale

Yeah true mate.I did think 4K was as high as i would get and if it was more like 3.5K i'll just keep it and sort the power out

Something like the above. I've made an offer and waiting for a reply.

Thing is I run two cars - my golf and my scoob. I've had the scoob since march and put 1435 miles on it. I hardly use it. My golf is great for bumming around in but its a bit long in the tooth and isn't very presentable. I'd like to cut down to one car and have a nice car as my main drive.

Looking for a 330i 325i 330d 320d in that order. Black with leather and all the mod cons.

I was thinking that Wrighty and have heard people who have swapped over have gone back to classics It's just the whole newer car thingy that's all plus i just want a quick car out of the box rather that messing with mine.Would be just my luck the box will throw a wobbler with 300 brake lol

Hi mate, another from corsasport here lol. I went from a classic wrx to a blob sti and much prefer the newer cars. Also the fact that you can tune it and not have to worry about internals or gbox is a plus. Mine is just as quick as my classic was and the classic had more tuning done to it.

I had a bugeye WRX then a 340bhp blobeye STI and now a 330 bhp classic.
The bug was pants.
The STI was awesome in all departments but it soon became too sensible.
The classic is very raw and probably just what I like in a car although I do worry about things going wrong.

Why not try different models and make a definite choice.

Another vote for a 325bhp classic. You need 370+ bhp in a blob to get same power to weight ratio.

Good to hear your keeping your scoob. Mine went to its new owner yesterday - heavy sigh.

As much as I loved it it just wasn't for me right now. I may well buy the 330i I posted the link too. Bring on ze germans!
