New type R owner.
Hiya guys,I just thought I'd come say hello.
I just bought a 99 V6 type R and I'm just waiting for it to be registered before I can pick it up.Hopefully tomorrow.
I had an Evo 3 for the last 5 years and last month I thought it was time for a change so I picked up an e46 BMW which was a bad idea.
I kept it for 4 weeks and just had to have another import,so I went back to the garage to see what he had and this type r had just come off the boat and after a drive I just had to have it.
Anyway it's got 49000 on the clock and has been kept completely standard and original.Here's a few pics,
Looking forward to spending a lot of time on here and plan on doing some mods in the near future.
I'm so excited I can't sleep.
Regards.
Danny.

Hi buddy great looking car, very clean too. 
Just to point out, it looks like a version 5 though as the version 6 has a lower splitter on the front bumper and your car also has the version 5 spoiler too. The cars are almost identical apart from a few minor differences. Welcome to the "R" club....

I keep popping up to take more photos as an excuse to sit in it for a bit.
This looks like a great forum with loads of info.It's gonna take months to read through everything.
Thanks.
Danny.

Lovely looking car fella, £6300 is all the way though. Suppose you have to pay a premium at a dealer though.
This one looks amazing value https://www.scoobynet.com/subaru-444...-only-60k.html
Wonder how long you will manage to keep it standard, when that bug gets ya it doesn't let go, lol.

With the exchange rate what it is, i'm suprised you got them to drop anything. I know SVA wouldn't when i tried. Cracking steering wheel too, got one on mine.
