Darkside i'm afraid
I was looking at a white evo 9 GT, however the guy selling has just got bk to me with a steep price for it, so gonna let that one go i think.
But evo 8/9 in white.
Not sure i can part with my car though to be honest.
AHHH decisions decisions

The guy that sprays my car said that he would need to see your car before he gives you a price for the job but it will be under £250

Hmm, I am in two minds at the moment 
whether to get the turbo & injectors fitted plus remap (should see around 380bhp) 
from Bob Rawle and keep my Impreza 
OR whether to get rid off/trade-in my Impreza against an Evo 8/9.
I do like my Impreza but the calling to the darkside is tempting (cue music - Imperial March from Star Wars).

Ye, the burble is the main reason i went with the scoob in the first place, and the fact that a new EVO was near 10k more expensive!! Its not 10k more car in my opinion, but i do have a strange need to own one.
Ty, you only just had the scoob and you are already thinking of changing it...................and my wife thinks im bad when it comes to changing cars
Tempting though isnt it!?!
Grass isnt always greener though!

Why not buy an Evo 4/5 as a second car? Can pick good ones up for 5k

I would to be honest and I am leaning towards keeping the Impreza at the moment after all I have not finished with it quite yet. 
No, Ian I think you ware right about the grass bit TBH having never really had a go in an Evo 8/9 I wonder if they would be a disappointment as they have the reputation of being like driving a Playstation and not a 'proper' drivers car like an Impreza.
Plus I would not fancy having to shell out loads of money in order to drive a very similar specification / power to what I have already or what it will be like with the turbo/injectors/remap done to my car.
TBH honest I do like the Evo 4/5 but I would be looking for an Evo 8 at the very oldest as I do not want to replace one car with another 10 years older. Second / Third Car? Bloody hell it is expensive enough keeping the two cars I already have.

Also if your worried about AYC failures as the replacements cost 1K buy a GT model version, as these come without the AYC for better driver involvement. Also both the Evo 8 & 9 come with a 55 litre fuel tanks as opposed to the smaller 48 litre tank fitted to the Evo 7.
