If i had to choose a car for myself I would be looking for the following in order of preference :

P1
JDM Spec D or C
JDM Sti
UK Sti

Hope you find what you are after.

I've got to say I like the cool wall T

The Trooper 1815

P1 hmmmmm not many unmolestered ones about.
V5/6 JDM STi (biased) some very nice ones about. Good strong internals and a TD05 as standard and EcuTek plug and go mapping.
JDM STi Bugeyes very good prices, twin scroll 2ltr, tints, folding mirrors etc as standard but not to everyones tastes on the looks front but
WR1's are still quick juicey on price but you can get a Hawkeye in the same colourso not as exclusive as they where for looks.

The older stuff is cheaper on parts too.

You could go outside the box and look at JDM Legacy (new shape) GT Spec B's or a Foggy STi. Both unusual and both can get 330 BHP and 350 ftlbs of torkes with a quick map

There is someone on here who would flog his Type R if you asked for about £6K (no not Kev!)

But, it's your budget and you choice. Just my two pence worth.

And of course top of my list would be a 22b but this would be sub zero and would have to have it's own section.

When I saw Richy B's last Friday it was the first time I had seen one in the flesh and now I plan to buy one even if it costs me a lung or two.

Richy B

LOL, didn't you notice the oxygen tank in the back!

I love my 'B' but if I was to do it all again I'd have a Type R V-Limited and have it caged and RCM prepared for he money I've spent!

RED2

im sure ive read that it cant be put on the road and if you have a look at the ad it says "no model report ideal for track use" can't remember exactly why though

amego

thanks just might take you up on that

I Think Type R V Ltd, after being in Turbo deans car thats what il get soon as i can get back into scooby ownership

KJD Mk1

iTrader: (3)

I'd only swap my 'R' for 'B'

Like Si said to me " Its not a wise move following a 22B back from a show"

I was fortunate to 'follow' in other words be left for dead by Richy's 22B on the Evo Triangle , and they really are the best looking Impreza ever made and his goes like the proverbial off a shovel.

Just fancy a change Kev, and if I keep it I'm gonna end up spending money on it and don't want to go down that road again.

It is a good one I think and if I can't get what I want for it then I'll keep it
Im not desperate to sell!!

SW Sport Pilot

Its a fantastic Type R mate in great condition, im suprised that your getting rid of it

It doesn't have a model report so can't be put on the road - you might get away with the 10 year rule but I think the rules have changed recently. Not worth the risk plus I've been to WRC sales and the cars are a shameful mess.

P1 is a nice car but you pay alot of money for a Type R with bits removed.

Type R 2 doors are awkward with the kids clambering in and out. You can average £1500 more in "2 door tax"

STI - nice car, 4 doors good potential.

STI RA - same as STI but lower gears and DCCD.

WRX RA - as similar to STI as makes no odds, lower gears, no DCCD, cheap insurance.

My RA WRC editon has a VF29 turbo as standard, its very low geared, and mines got ECUTEK mapping so it doesn't lose out anywhere. Plus being a WRX RA its cheap to insure - its £150 less than my old UK turbo and £250 less than a Type R/P1. If you fancy a blast in mine let me know.

Depending on budget I would look at a black Prodrive Bugeye STI. UK car, good history etc etc Unless you really can't cope with the front end of a bugeye theres no point buying a blobeye until you get to late 54 onwards so you get the wider rear track and DCCD-A. Late blobs and hawks theres not much in it save for the price you pay. If you go JDM then first choice would be Bugeye STI "Prodrive Style" - these are not the same as UK Prodrives as they were built on an RA shell. Again go for late as possible JDM and have DCCD however I'm not sure how many people really use it and those I've spoken to say its not really needed day to day (although I would say that as mine doesn't have DCCD)

I know someone who is selling a black 05 plate WRX in Haverfordwest. Shes looked after it very well and its not been hammered since she's had it. Could be a deal to be done as I think she needs the dosh ASAP.

gtijames

why dont you make an offer for the nice green one with the gold stickers thats parked in ya street lol

on a serious note if it was me and i fancied a change i think i would get a blob eye sti(preferably in white or black).maybe another classic (p1 or type r)wouldnt be different enough to warrant the outlay.make a short list and go for some test drives.

EddScott

If I were classic buying, I'd buy this without question

The wife needs some dosh to start her own business so I'd consider flogging mine too.

amego

that scoob belongs to my farther inlaw he took it partex had ago in it the otherday forgot how quick my car is compared to a standard subaru
like the look of this

Church's Performance Cars : SUBARU IMPREZA 2.0 STI MANY EXTRAS

gtijames

that black sti looks nice,really mean and moody looking and with 350bhp very very rapid.if youve got the cash i doubt that theres ever been a better time to buy a subaru.for what i payed for mine you can now buy some amazing machinery.i think you will have lots of fun going and trying out the various choices on your short list.

EddScott

Black Prodrive bug would be my choice of non DCCD UK newage cars but its a bit expensive for a Prodrive Bug- under 50K miles for that sort of money IMO. I'd also want to see the dyno print out. If its PPP then it would have 305 quoted. It doesn't mention further mapping and exhaust and filter would not make 350

Is yours mapped Amego?
