Default Do i keep it or should i sell RA-R?

Got a minter ....one of the very last as it's on a 59 plate RA-R might scooter about in it and then sell but not sure. my plans are to turn it into a track monster or is it to good to be stripped of it's unique parts and turned into a race rocket?

Should i just go with a regular hawkeye ?

Things i want to do are wrc carbon pannels big bhp engine etc

Umm yeh suppose your right. Just sold the r8 and it's a refreshing change being in an impreza i just don't get the same buzz i do german cars as opposed to impreza's an evo's and the ra-r just makes me giggle like a kid when i put ma foot down.

Mate you can not even begin to think about stripping such a rare scoob. And in all fairness it is already to go on the track as is I really would not start changing the car as it is, plus it will be worth far more as is rather than being stripped and modded. Enjoy it as is then sell and do it to a hawkeye

if you strip that out you will regret it. It will be a novelty for awhile and then you will wish you hadn't. It would be like having a 22b and molesting that. You have the most desirable impreza there is - you have a responsibility to look after it. You are a custodian to a future classic!!

Just my bonkers opinion

If your not that fussed about it, sell it to someone who will look after it. Personally, I'm not keen on it - not sure why. Might be the colour but then I like cashmere yellow classics. I hate to say it but looks like a cheap import with the silver rear windows and rear spoiler (whether its factory or not, that side view does it no favours) I mean no offence by this obviously!

Did you not have a white one??? Now that really was a very very pretty car. The above isn't really "pretty" if you get me.

You'd be better off getting a normal hawkeye with a few mods than keeping this that your probably not that committed too.

IMHO anway.

The pics are sh##e could probs do with getting some better pics. Each to their own tho


Yeh had a white one and sold it on ,but i'd thought i'd keep this with it being on a 59 plate and plus it's yellow there were only 30 made in yellow which sort of makes it one of the rare'st scoobs about.

I would keep it and keep it standard,

Modding it would make it lose value.

Its the ultimate hawkeye out there

You are one lucky sod...there are only 100 or 150 yellow models in Japan/worldwide.
