Talking New 2011 320R ordered today

A NEW 2011 320R SALOON

Done the dirty deed and signed on the dotted line with Cross Road Subaru. The Subaru 320R in san Remo Red and should be with me in mid to end of july ish.

I'm having AST suspension fitted and a lip spoiler from new but bar from that will be kept very standard

This car won't be ever used on the Track just holidays, touring and shopping. I will be getting track toy at latter date

this will enyoy the same number plate as my last 4 scoobs although first scoob shows a different plate on the track

Not sold the T20 yet I happy with the PX Price so don't have to fanny around with buyers but if someone wants it at PX price they can.

You'll love it I'm sure. I'm well chuffed with mine. I had my dealer fit a boot spoiler and upgraded the sat nav unit from the one that comes with the 320r.
Surprised your upgrading the suspension? Compared to my old hatch the spec C suspension is much more sorted, suffice to say I chicken out long before the car does
Where is the lip spoiler coming from?

I'm leaving mine spoilerless or may get a low spoiler, must be getting old

Yes I have to agree Spec C suspension is better than the old hatch


I Tried two 320r's back to back on very same route, one standard and one with AST's fitted.


If i hadn't known before test drive which had Coilovers, afterwards I would guessed wrong


The Standard was good on good roads but felt a little harsh for the bumpy potholed sections of A/B roads around our way.


The lip spoiler was from Cross roads Subaru garage, at the price it must be a genuine STi one or made of gold dust LOL

I was starting to get worried as you know

all classic owners hate the Newage
All newage owners hate the Hatch
So all Hatch owners should hate the new Saloon

The STi lip spoiler is AFAIK still an import item and costs a fortune. However with the new Pro-R setup Subaru UK are supposed to be getting more involved with STi so more items may start to come in via the dealers.



A nice choice of car Tony.

The low level spoiler seems to finish off the boot nicely.........

Personally I don't think the low level spoiler looks very nice.... a gurney flap / A-Line spoiler would look much better imo. Either that or the all-out STI type version that has been used.

Just my opinion though.

Quite like the look of the car in black though.

Nice choice of car, But the quick rack it's not as simple as swapping it as it plays havoc with the on board electronics. AFAIK Prodrive are the only ones to sort this with some pectel units It;s a horrid sensation when it slams the front brakes on because it thinks it's turning in to sharp

Do you have to change the steering wheel sensors to?

All true apart from the Pectel unit bit (I so wish it was that easy!). Prodrive do use a Pectel diff controller on the GrpN cars but they also remove the entire VDC and ABS systems.

Why would they do that when the JDM cars which they get come with quick racks?
