Front mount, different turbo and just a 'pink label sti ecu'?

Good luck with that!

OMG !

"...THE GEARBOX ALONE IN THIS CAR IS WORTH MORE THAN MOST SCOOBIES ON THE ROAD"

Perhaps someone should retaliate, as in "my gearbox alone is worth more than this heap".

A valid reason for car switched between partners? - yea, OK !

Mind you it does have one redeeming feature - it comes with its own No Waiting lines....... er...... whatever that entails.

Looks like the council didn't see him when they were laying down double yellows

The scary thing is people are actually bidding on that heap of fertiliser.
Currently three different bidders and it's sitting at £1600.

One of the biggest abominations I've ever seen on four wheels.
Classic owners must be crying into their beer.

I'm so glad I've moved over to E46 M3 territory.

I like how the oil temp never gets above 65 degrees, fantastic that.

Love the part where he said "Forgot to mention that this is a Wagon and not a saloon"

Seeing more and more classic's like this on the road now days!! only went to the shops and was behind a Focus RS Green Turbo 2000 and on the way back was stuck behind a silver 1993 Wagon with lexus rear lights

Problem is the scabs round here wanted a half quick car for very little money so they all went out and got a impreza with ****ty stickers , stripes and bk racing alloys , million miles on the clock and not to mention the **** body work and the cars cost around £1k !!!

Luckely for me all the there engines went bang due to them wanting 3 bar from the standard turbo and constantly raging them around.

Some scab will buy it with there benifits and chuck there 16 kids and a couple staffys in the back

The future of Subaru ownership folks, thankfully proper cars like AMGs don't fall into the hands of these types

That's an SLS with some admittedly iffy wheels, but don't really see how that illustrates your point when compared to a barryed Impreza?

Never going to see a SLS AMG outside a council house!!

Wheels look crap on that picture, but probably still cost the same price as a blob/Hawk STi!!

Oops! Mr Haughty's out on his 'I'm far better than you' nonsense line (yet) again.

AMG is a 'variant' of a Merc, just like T20's are to Subaru.

So, Mr Haughty, pit your skills in an AMG against my skills in a T20.
And then we'll do it the other way around, just to be fair - Old Boy.

He shoots, he scores himself a portly balding Welshman. It's like shooting fish in a barrel!
