You might need more than 16k to buy a nice RB320.

Rb 320 deff but i would think there is a large price difference between the two.
Also you could get a decent jdm hawkeye or a spec c for that money and both are better cars than rb320 and wr1

Looked at a few rb320 for £16 k its going to be my second car but am really undecided what to buy and dont want anything older than a 54

A WR1 over an RB320 and a Spec C over the WR1!

whats the difference between a spec c and a spec d?

D is just a uk.sti without a big spoiler really.
Mechanically the same but with leather interior.
D stands for discreet.
C is a jdm twin scroll with loads of extras i.e lightweight.roof flap. Revised suspension.

A widetrack blob sti is a better car than a wr1 too. Wr1 is basically a nasty coloured narrow track sti with a dccd.

RB320 best scooby i've owned and this is my 5th including a 22B

I think there a great car too but im bias because i own one lol.
Downside is higher tax but that's going to be the case with any newer car and if you want big power you have to replace pistons and head studs.
On the plus side they have great suspension and handle well and feel quite refined and rigid to drive. The engine has great low down torque and the great 6 speed dccd gear box.

I've had a rb320 and loved it. Now own a 55 reg hawk eye tuned to 350 bhp 350 torque and live it even more. Rb's are alot if money and u lost alot wen u sold it. You could pick up sumthing alot cheaper and mod it nicely for 16k. Or like others hav said a spec c. You pay alot more money for the limited edition tag in it

There's a rb320 for sale at Newcastle Subaru, 43k on the clock for 16k. Think the price for these are finally coming down

I wouldnt buy either, dont think they offer great value for money compared to other Subarus.

My money would go on a White Hawkeye Spec C.

Test drove a WR1 and a 54 reg Wide track and the widetrack was alot better and cheaper.

Buy a 6-7k blob sti. And spend 10k making it your own!

Wr1 is a proper gay coloured car .....rb320 ain't worth the asking price

jabbroni

the WR1OC will not agree with that comment or for that matter the RB320OC either lol

donny andi

iTrader: (3)

That's ok......I'm a member on wr1oc
Tbh not driven the 320 and won't bother.... The 1 was crap , handled like a bag of ....... , and mine wasn't far off the 400 mark.....hardest car I've had the misfortune to try and sell on

how can you tell a widetrack? and how much wider is it?

donny andi

iTrader: (3)

Hmmmm , maybe I should try one

chopperman

RB320 handles great and can be set up how you like with its adjustable arb ect. Its a lot stiffer chassis than the Wr1.

i looked at loads of wr1 , overpriced and in bad condition , in the end i bought a widetrack blob , 06 last of the blobs !! with ppp , great car asswell !
