As one of my friends is looking for a type R I posted a link to a car the other day that turned out not to be suitable so does anyone know this one?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2842657.htm

It looks like it could be a good car and I think we're planning on viewing it on Friday but hasn't else seen it and know anything about it?

Thanks,

Paul

 

hello mate... is it just new on the market that one ? who mapped it, do you know ?

 

It's from Hurst cars.

The guy is sound mate and sold quite a few imprezas to members on here, me being one. He also frequents this site now and again.

 

No idea yet and I've asked him to ask the seller and see what ecu is in there. It looks great though! I think that as soon as he drives a type R he'll be in love because they are the nuts in my opinion.

 

That's good to know mate Fingers crossed he still has it on Friday because it looks like a cracker.

 

im sure i spoke to this hurst guy recently. claimed he had a very rare genuine type r with water spray and abs

 

ABS was never a factory option on the type R was it.

 

i thought that also mate..... perhaps im thinking wrongly now but ABS was an option but never together with waterspay

OR they were, but never together with the dccd box....

 

Hi to all on here,

I'm a newbie to the world of Scoobys and have been introduced to this world from the Saab turbo world by Paulo P himself, so I believe I am in capable hands with him and all you lot advice.

All very much appreciated and soon I hope to be part of this world and some proper engineered machinery.

Thanks again, I'm reading threads and replies on this forum profusely.

Nick

 

Hello and welcome nick...... is yours the R we are searching for ?
Craig

 

Well no, where does the bottle go

 

Welcome to Scoobynet mate, be warned though they are very geeky on here and they put me to shame

 

anyhow this car had a dccd box water spray and abs

 

I'm sure it was to do with the DCCD too which is why Prodrive removed the DCCD from the P1 in favour of ABS. I can't remember if the P1 gets water spray

 

there was no manual water spray in the p1

 

Something else Prodrive robbed off the car I love the P1 but sadly it was a compromise for the UK market.

 

Yes Craig, all your help is appreciated and soon I will be a Type R owner, with no big bills to cough up for in the near future other than the purchase of the Type R itself... I'm sure you lot will point me in the right directing...

Taking note of ABS question going on right now...

 

errr that was meant to read "the right direction".....

Nick.

 

The type R is a very focused car and it's meant for people that can drive The P1/Type R debate will rage forever but I sit in the type R camp on this one. In all honesty any 2 door impreza is the nuts

 

i will always miss this......

 

The P1 was the better looking car but technically the type R was better. Another one of my friends AndyC772 has a stunning P1 with the 18" wheel option and Alcons and it's stunning but if I had a choice of which one to drive with the 2 sat side by side I'd chose the type R. Another friend of mine has a yellow type R track car and I love driving that.

 

the R is a more focussed tool no question
P1 drives perfectly on uk roads, even on 18" wheels as WR version was......
yes the wr version had alcons also ....

 

I think it got to be the Type R truth be told...

 

Just need to find a "sound" one...

 

I don't know why I didn't buy one to be honest, I keep thinking of replacing the M3 with a type R and running it at about 350bhp as a daily.

 

did you see my link to sva imports ?!

 

Probably a WRX

 

That counts Nick out then ha ha ;-)

 

Welcome mate took you long enough but your here at last

 

Didn't the WRX type R get ABS instead of DCCD ?
