Day off yesterday so I washed and waxed the car and took some pics.















I actually tried booking it in to put the uprated exhaust and Forge DV but I was enjoying taking pics and looking at it I ran out of time

I hope you like - i love it

Always loved these motors, proper nice one you got there mate.

Gotta love the homage to the mid night club too! legends them lot.

Kam B

Cheers mate Im impressed you know what my homage was. Even though these cars are not made for top speed runs lol

I think the mid night club was proper awesome, proper mystery and the cars and owners were nutcases

asha1

They were the first club I found out about searching for 'street racing' during my early internet days in the early 2000's, the wangan, bosozoku, all that mad stuff, there's a few videos on youtube of wangan racers with chibakun, amazing stuff!

I have fond memories of seeing the 200mph+ porsche 'blackbird' & the 300zx as well as the crazy RX7's & nismo skyline - can't forget to mention smoky nagata aswell!. I'd love to go there someday.

Love type r limiteds.
I had 1 a couple of years back,came with stupid front lights,22b fibreglass bumper,steel bonnet and a few other rubbish mods.
Took a while to get it back to standard,I then pulled the engine out as I convinced myself it had a misfire,stripped it and got myself all tied up in closed deck blocks,new cranks etc etc and lost interest and sold it with the engine in the boot.
It was totally rust free as had never seen a winter in the uk.
Would have another 1 in a minute.

They look so good now too on the roads, getting rare good classic shape Scoobs, I love them. Stunner that looked Lee

Caddyshack

That's the best colours too. Nearly bought one many times. Lovely cars and brilliant B road bashers

Great fun cars these, I had an Sti type RA years ago and a blob eye spec c recently, for out the box performance they're hard to beat!

Fullflush

Lee yours was the special one, the v6 sti type r v limited - it has the blue seats!

JasonPD

Tasty scooby in what looks like amazing condition, loved my sonic blue bad boy

Kam B

Thanks for the kind words all.

Fullflush you beat me to it. They numbered the v6 vltds I think 1000 units were made and was last of the classic shape these are already demanding strong money.

Mine is a v5 non v ltd but still a limited (if that makes sense lol) v stands for victory. So mine doesn't have a build number as the v5 were only built to order, unknown built so very rare.

Stock exhaust sounds like a washing machine so I got I turbo back system to go on and maybe a dv

To sound an anorak the version 6's were not v limiteds either,they were numbered,iirc I had 504,blue seats,roof vent,dccd etc.
Can't remember why they were not v's now,you got a version 5 or 6 and a version 5 or 6 limited,think you only got a version 4 v limited and this had thinner glass and possibly an aluminium bootlid plus other bits.
This page is very useful.

Before I bought the saph I did glance again at the version 6's but I had more money than what they cost so I looked at bug eye s202's,put a deposit on 1 bug it was missing liars of bits so pulled out.
Kind if wish I had had a bit more patience and imported 1,could have bought 2 for what the saph has cost me!

Very nice, love an impreza, have a noise like no other.

Kam B

Every time I see a v6 ltd advertised for sale it's a V, even in the jap auctions I have access to. The type ra page is very useful. Doesn't say v on it. Interesting

Still, cosworths for me any day

Fullflush

Kam yours is still very nice though

I'd love a 6 like Lee's - sorry for the mistake on naming!

If you click on the link then go to the drop down specs bar it tells you the different models,only lists a version 4 v ltd.
They are a total minefield as there's so many versions of the same thing,spec c ra,spec c widetrack,sti,tommy kiara, etc.
When I last looked I had 3 pages of notes on bugeyes so I had an idea what I was looking at.
Even on my v5 for my version 6 it was down as an estate!

Kam B

I've also seen the wrc Ltd models too what's them all about then

Stunning car pal. I sold my classic for a blobeye sti. Although a good car it never feels as raw as the classic did.

gingeRS

saw it for sale on ebay

Kam B

The version 3 type R's are said to be the raw'est of them all. Was watching best motoring tv where they reviewed it properly

that lookas lovely Kam - will have to pop round and see it in the flesh

Kam B

Cheers Ran. Defo pop round as I've put a full system on it now and it sounds like Godzilla, makes me cream

Stock sti exhaust just made it sound like a washing machine running a little off sync

RSNUT!

Lovely car. Classic!

Does that rear tint not annoy you? Think id have to remove it.
(Sorry "I've always got an opinion")
