Nice looking car mate how come you couldn't find an impreza though? For the money the Evo cost I'm sure you could of found a load of really nice ones and at this time of year at good prices too!

Nice car, when you are ready to sell let me know

I've always wanted one of these and that looks tidy, in the best colour too.

Lovely car. My uncle had one of these taken to about 400bhp and it was quite a motor.

Engines arnt too bad. Just have to take care & not be greedy with the boost or they have tendency s to lift the cylinder head off.

Driveline wise. 5 speed far stronger than the 6 but the transfercase bearings are made of toffee they start to whine then eventually drop to bits.

very nice car pal ,my misses had one exactly the same fq300 went very well indeed

on a side note the title was a little misleading was expecting to see a black mamba or summat

oh and have quite a few spares left over from owning ours if you ever get stuck too

Ran 1.9bar on my old 6 with the standard engine,was a good car and nippy enough at 400+ but just lacked involvement,everything felt too easy.
Power delivery felt way too linear aswell for my liking bit like a big n/a motor.
Very nice btw but I think you're either one or the other with these that's why I ended up selling and getting another classic

Always fancied an 8mr though
