been contemplating getting one, there is one near me going for £4500 96 P reg, 60k miles, silver 2.0l twin turbo - 280bhp.....

are these any good???

anyone wanna buy a 2.0l 98 R reg escort????

 

I've had a look at them aswell, definetley worth considering

its the 2nd one down, i think they look quite cool too

 

Are they made of tougher stuff than the Impreza's?

Didn't they used to rally the old Legacy?

 

fook knows mate

is it the same engine as the impreza but twin turbo???

 

i looked very closely at them before buyin summit else (the one i wanted was just out of my price range )

there is a 2.0 turbo version with the same engine as the impreza (think the management system is slightly different tho)
the one u want is the 3.0 (or was it 2.5??) twin turbo which has 4x4 and 280bhp as std

bloody good cars, and more reliable than the impreza

 

i thought they were 2.7 turbos?
dunno. they look pretty cool-ish.
but as said,, hope the engine lasts longer than imprezza,

 

What about spares on them I have been think about one


I bet they cost a fair wack if any think goes wrong

 

dunno about spares mate, i only thought about em last night.

hmm, if i can get what i want for my car then ill have enough for the one in the ad i posted, shame its an auto tho

will the gearbox and pedal box out of an impeza fit anyone know??

 

Excellent cars, as are Subarus in general.

The twin turbo is still the same EJ20, 2.0 engine as in the Impreza albeit with 2 turbochargers, available on import only, rated at 280bhp.

All the larger cc engines, 2.5 and 3.0 will most likely be UK based cars. None of the UK cars, after 94/95 are turbocharged.

Only the pre 94 car was the single turbo car, which was rallied with great success, and saw Colin McCrae rise to fame.

 

cheers steve, the 1 im lookin at is 2.0l TT 280bhp GT-B or summut

but,,,, its an auto

can i make it manual??

 

this is a nice looking one http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=111913

 

cheers mate, its cheap an all, but, i think the estate looks better!

and its 280bhp... lol

hmmmmm

200 sx's....

 

there is one in white near me. really nice cars

i saw it once race a impreza. it beat it off the make and had a nice little gap lead.
it looked bloody rapid

 

Fastest 2.0 production estate car in std trim.....168mph top speed

mate has a Jap 2.0TT on a S plate......sweet motor

 

cool as, cheers mate,


anyone wanna buy me escort????

 

One of my best mates has a K plate single turbo version..Runs a bar on a TD05 turbo with zorst, filter and boost limit removed and ran a 14.0@100mph at pod and he bought it for a grand, didn't spend much on the mods either as he already had the turbo..quick for the cash.
Very good handling car with uprated suspension and a nice drive but gearshift is looooong and the interior in the early models is disgusting to put it nicely. Bottom ends are apparently considerably stronger then the impreza lump according to several leading suburu tuners.

 

the 1 im lookin at is a 96 p reg TT

just gotta get rid of mine 1st...

 

get a cossie

fook the scooby, hate em, looks, power, the lot

 

would do mate but a decent cossie cost more, more to insure, and more when, not if, it fukks up.....

280bhp out the box should do lol

 

My g/f and I have one of these. Its on a 97 plate. Its the RX saloon so pulls nicely. Its a 2.5 petrol. Only downside is it is an auto!

There are a lot about over here and a guy I work with has the B4. That is an awesome car.

Ours has been in the family since new and had no major problems and now has 170K on the clock. Well built and definately worth the money IMO.
