sorry, not a ford though. deserted the marque after 17 years and over 30 fords to go to the darkside for a while.



only just got it back from the west country and only driven the m4, so don't really know what it's like yet. i'll be building up slowly to this one after my experience with my first cosworth

it's a fairly standard 93 MY jap import bought off a friend of a friend and has just come back from easter weekend at the 'ring

 

Good luck with it

Steve.

 

Horrible


Enjoy it though

You will want rid once you have tried to change the spark plugs

 

 

superb!!

You'll love is matey - if you need a workshop manual for it give me a shout I have a old one kicking about

Alex

 

Electronic they were changed 2 weeks ago, so i won't have to do it for a while

AlexF thanks matey. might take you up on that. the seller didn't appear to know much about it, but says it has an RA ecu fitted. why would that be? runs more boost?

 

well the RA is a JDM (japanes dometic model) and so it the 280ps....

maybe an ecu swap fools a wrx into thinking its a sti ra??

but yours is an import anyway

 

just for you nick

check out my subaru!

 

Nice

Think the early RA's had the same bhp 240/260, think they might rev higher though?

Great cars for the money, i've had a few 93 WRX's and they were more reliable than my cossies...but not as much fun due to being 4wd....similar performance though again the cossie would be a little quicker in a straight once you got going.

 

thinkin on gettin a scoob maself cos i cannie be arsed wi cossie issues

 

what kind of mpg will the impreza get driving it sensibly?

 

AlexF thanks for that

haven't taken it above 5k rpm yet, so no idea about the ecu. ideally i'd like to get something programmable on there and have it setup - maybe an emerald

 

ive never actually liked subarus tbh until yesterday when my sister bought a brand new one! though its a non turbo but thank god it has the full prodrive kit on it and graphics lol

but after driving it im really liking the handling on them a lot different to the 4wd cossies and id imagine the turbo versions are even better

good luck with it mate honestly iw ill take everytung back from what i say about scoobys from now on

and the version you have is the best looking anyhow

 

I do like the old scoobys...saw a lovely silver one yesterday too near me..

 

i think that i've bought in at the right time as it was very cheap and i think that the original shape will be a future classic. i started to like them about a year ago, looks wise, and was very impressed when alex kindly gave me a passenger lap in his RA at bedford a while back

 

About 3?

 

are they crap on fuel then?
i would contemplate getting one if it done anything decent
