Anyone had one/have one? Been offered one and im quite keen! I have a wrx import just now and love driving it tbh!

 

P1's are the nuts

 

P1's are the boy!

 

modern classic, not a great lover of subaru's but p1's are

 

Had one yes, based on the STI 5 tbh, which imo is the better car, engine's can be iffy so be careful, gearboxes weak too. Good fun car though, i PREFERED my Version 3 TYPE -R Great car.

 

Awesome cars Think they are as cheap as they are ever going to be, deffo future classic.

 

Prodrive RB5 is the better car

 

RB5 has to be my favourite scoob
But the P1 is the big one

 

Spec C RA-R is the big one fella, sadly never owned that one.

I loved my 22B, wish i still had that but that's me all over

 

Same here, not a fan on subarus but I like the p1

 

My pal has a rb5 he is running around 480bhp mark,
I no he has a 2.5 engine and 1 hell of a turbo bolted to it I have been underneath and in it lol very very fast

 

Just about every 2nd one has had a new engine for some reason? Nice cars though, I like the look of them.

 

Pics??

 

How come the engines in the P1s are poo where as the normal engines are a bit better.

I used to here people say that number 3 piston used to fail on these impreza engines????

 

My mate has a P1 which has covered over 200k, not on its original engine though! They can also rot badly but if you don't look in the right places you may assume your buying a minter






Good cars if looked after, obviously paying a lot extra for the fact it has 2 doors but they do look much nicer than the 4 doors.

 

I had 06 impreza 2.5 turbo fucking thing flew and handled like go kart!
Could be doing. 70mph in 5th and floor it and be just as fast pull away as in stand still in 1st,
She ate few motors on motorways while I had her!

 

Always here how good they are to drive but I just can't get excited by them.

 

Very nice to drive

 

Cant get over the rot on that impreza.

 

I like the 2dr and especially the P1. Never seen one rot like that before, unreal.

 

had 2. was my dream car when I was 17 when they came out!

bar the 22b it's still the nicest impreza made IMO.

buy a standard one if possible , the 18s and Alcons are a nice extra tho

 

Iv had a 1998 sti... I loved it till I went through two gearboxes... the dont like a 1st 2nd quick shift from the lights.... but it was good fun and woke the street up when I fired it up at 5:35am

 

I'd buy a STi Type R over the P1...
There cheaper to buy and basically a 22B but not as wide...

 

Tbh I bet quite a lot of them are suffering that sort of strut rot, we only noticed it once the 1/4 panel was separated from the inner wing. It will look good as new though in a weeks time

 

I really like them and other than a couple of the other classic range it's the only ones that will be worth anything in a few years

 

I drive one years ago when i had a z3m, thought the p1 was slow compared to that and other similar powerd cars id had at the time. I was a huge subaru fan until i owned one, had a real nice 2004 wr1 and was so dissapointed by the way it handled, if you tried to put it into a bend quickly it just understeered loads and if you went near the power it went sideways immediatley. Heard plenty of others have had similar experiences also

 

Also just to mention the interior was comically bad in the p1, like a nissan micra with uncomftable seats

 

Went and viewed the car yesterday and took it for a spin! Decided yesterday i was gonna buy it i will put up some pics later today once i collect it thanks for the comments

 

I love P1s. There is a guy tottenham who buys and sells scoobies and evo's, he always has some tasties on the forecourt
I believe he also owns a tuning company called 'purpleturtle' in Enfield

 

That was due to a poor map (standard sti map for Japanese fuel) that wasn't designed to run on UK fuel and subsequently cars suffered engine failure due to pre-ignition.

 

Went up to 155lees house today for a look at his type-r impreza and got some photos of my p1 and his car

 

Nice.

 

Whats the difference from a p1 to all the rest?

Look well btw!

 

Loads of differences between the p1 and more common subarus.
We were lucky to get a pic of both cars as my dog stole my keys and was walking about with them in her mouth lol!

 

Hope your happy with it.

 

Looks really tidy

 

Nice example

 

Few age related marks here and there but its to be expected with a 13 year old car! My dad and brother are painters so il get it looking as nice as i can! Still got 2 fords in my life so im a happy camper

 

Snoop dog could have dropped them keys down the drain lol!

 

A friend of mine won a P1 in a Max Power competition 4 or 5 years ago. He was just going to sell it pretty much straight on and use the money to buy something else but had a hell of a job selling it, only got a few grand for it in the end and it had had a lot of money spent on the engine.
