Yeah i know Tiff, i would only have a standard one. Ok that one has a zorst on it, but its not a silly one.


The saloon i seen was like that but 100% standard about same money i think to. If i was in my house i would have bought it. But cant justify it atm Proper bargains out there now on them.

 

they are a great car and i prefer them to evo's-just my opinion.

the only one ive ever had that let go was my type r sti.ive had loads of others without hassle.
decent wagons are harder to find than people think.you just have to sift through the shit.they are excellent value for money now

the classics have a better driving position and feel great but the bug eye upwards have better interior etc for everyday driving.been using my bugeye wagon this weekend and its been great fun.

 

always up for a deal

 

Any more pics of that scooby? Looks nice!

 

Tiff, do you know Mark Thwaites? He lives on the new estate by the race course and has opened his own garage by Warwick hospital specialising in working on Scoobs and is currently building a time attack car. If you are after a good one locally, he'll prob know of one and is a sound guy.

(or you could buy a nice moonstone 3 door )

 

cracking cars get one bought tiff

 

Tiff,

All those blags you used to send my-way about Scoobies.....


Try one mate, you might be suprised....

 

wagons are the best imo.
wouldnt have a coupe/saloon, chavmobiles.

 

Do you mean standard cosmetically?

Because for about 9K you could have a nice Uk Sti which could safely run close to 400bhp all day long with standard internals. Much better choice than a Cossie, unless a Cossie means something special to you IMO.

 

Have a look out for a rare sti classic wagon, if you don't mind an import.

Great cars the scoobs had 3 myself - a classic wrx, P1 and Forester which is something else worth looking at if you like your estates, they're based on the impreza too and usually cheaper.

Don't know what your budgets like but these are awesome:

They're good... History is important, if modified then it'll need to have been done properly by people that know what they're doing. Couple of small suspension upgrades, pump, panel filter, re-map and exhaust on a 99/00 UK Turbo and you'll have one of the best point to point cars per ŁŁ that you can buy IMO.

*edit, if you need any questions answered then just fire away.


Cheers,

When we going teeth kicking big fella?

 

Stop putting ideas in my head! I was keeping an eye on the classifieds for an 03/04 ish UK Sti, but buying a UK Turbo and doing a few mods would be a good option...and I loved the Terzo.

 

Awesome cars,ive got a feeling my next car is gonna be a P1 or a WR1 ,not to sure on the new age ones though,the sound of them is simply awesome, i bought an STI type RA without knowing too much about them,bit of an impulse buy, and I was absolutely gob smacked at how well it .

 

Standard totally mate! Cant be arsed with modding like that anymore prefer to sink money into a new car thats good as standard. As with modifying its a lot of hassel i cant be arsed with. Well for awhile anyway lol.

If i got one. Which i dought i would. It would be a smoker till i can afford a proper keeper car

 

If you got a Newage UK Sti with the PPP(305bhp) I don't think you'd regret it. Great road car with loads of grip and obviously in a different league to a standard Cossie of any kind, with times moving on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these twats who comes on a Ford forum and starts putting them down - I love Cosworths, I drove a 330bhp Sapph and it was brilliant. But you need to look at the other side of the coin. That Sapph I drove was my Uncle's...it had 26k miles, was always garaged, and still cost a fortune to run. Every time he drove it(gently) it went wrong.

Ignore what people say about the 'chocolate' engines: they are the people who fiddle around with them despite not knowing what they're doing, or don't maintain them properly. If you get a well looked after one and look after it, it will be almost bulletproof. Just like a normal car, but with the bonus of being great fun!

I had a 10 year old one for a year and a half, and it never let me down once! I felt totally confident driving hundreds of miles at night in it...and it was just solid in general to be honest. If that was my Uncle's Sapph, I would be on the hard shoulder of the motorway with steam pissing out the bonnet.

 

TIFF, i remember couple weeks ago you were interested in my Volvo 855R that i had for sale. You should get one of them, they made less than 200 and with a re-map there faster than most average imprezza's anyway. Go for a volvo mate! www.vpcuk.org

 

Yer, I see that Mark has set up down the road from me.....My pop in for a little chat with him in the week

 

I'm in a similar situation, if I decide to spend decent money on another Impreza then I'm thinking along the lines of a Type 20, Spec C etc... but the lure of a low mileage (sub 60k) UK Turbo all done and dusted, running 270/270, for a few grand does still appeal to me as it wouldn't be far off the Newages on a twisty backroad and would probably rate higher on driver enjoyment since you feel a bit more involved in a Classic than the newer ones.

See my thread in ScoobyNet General!

 

Just found these 3.....exactly the sort i am after tbh.....and look at the prices

they are slow as fook my mates rs turbo running 14 psi plus a few mods killed both my other mates 2.0 wrx and 2.5 sti

and you wont believe this but both scoobies are now dead from engine failure from racing the rs turbo but the rs turbo is still going strong

 

This one's done 88k, had a cambelt and new clutch about 3k miles ago. PM for a price including a warranty [so it's not a for sale post]

 

I'll dig some out for you as there on my other computer.

Its now got the Cusco graphics and soon to have another power upgrade

 

Tiff - i know what you mean about the classic shape Imprezas. Get one that hasnt been chavved in any way shape or form and you'll love it. Some years ago my mate bought an RB5 (4dr salloon obviously) and it is still one of my all time favorite cars. Looked good, Sounded good and went well to boot!

Paddy - the estate looks really tidy mate!!

 

I recently got a lowish milage Impreza Wagon. Would never usually think about having an estate car but the Impreza is one of only a few cars where an estate still looks good.

Mine is a bit chavved up but that can be easily sorted. It goes well alright though and has been spot reliability wise so far, but it just lacks something. I love the way it handles , sounds and goes but its just missing something i cant put my finger on.

Hopefully going to swap it for a 200sx soon and see if that can keep me interested for longer.

 

its not the bonnets fault u numpty its the cunt that made it lol

 

Tiff its not helping me that Nath has posted one like i would want in for sale section Hmmm sell GTI-6 and get one...

 

See what i mean Rhys.....................

That is spot on for the money....and a newish, fastish car...........

Pity its not a wagon

 

Its got full leather as well Rhys

Paddy, did yours have a P/Plate on it? PKO or something like that?

 

I'm getting sooooo tempted by them right now, they're so cheap. How bad are they on fuel?

 

I know Nath. If i didnt need to finish my poxy house i would be on the phone! lol

Look at this!!!!!!!!!!!! http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk...cleRegLetter=V

I bet in two months when get back on my feet. I will not see a car like that about lol.

 

I've never really checked the fuel on the one here. I know the tank is small or seems small to my X5

I do like the classics out of all of them. The new one's look rank to me!

 

Well......The BMW is in the sale section now................but i am not overly bothered if it doesnt sell.......

We will see..........

 

Ooooohhhhh forgot about the RB5`s, I fuckin love them as well,shit Im gonna get in trouble here!!!Im off to look.

 

wo wo wo, take it off sale, let me sell the cossie first, ffs, lol

 

Dont mate, Mark turned into a hairdresser rather than a plumber.

 

but thats what I always wanted to be, tbh i think I will be having the next Merc, so it would be for Karla

 

Ahhh... now it would suit Karla to a T.... its a fuckin good one too mate- as I told ya, I went to look at it with Tiff.... he dont buy shit like I dont and more so we couldn't kick the guy in the teeth as he knew what he was selling!!!!!!!!
No matter how much I rocked the engine!


J

 

Still does mate! B16 PKO Did you see me driving miss daisy around Reading?? I keep meaning to pop in and see you!

And Tiff, the offer of a drive is there mate when I'm in Worcester

[And to the people that PMd apart from Tiff, I'm sorry guys but I'm not getting involved in trading on PF out of respect for the owners, it's only because it's Tiff that I replied. The car will be on autotrader when a space opens up on our website but for now, it's doing a good job as a daily hack ]
