well,it was seriously quick,comfortable,felt planted no knocks,rattles,bangs etc really impressed me to be honest,oh and it had antilag,that is the dogs bollocks,from a standing start it did 0-135 in a really short distance on a private road

for sale-saff cos......

 

That's going to be a very quick car

 

Classic or the newer ones??

 

I need a power fix, but 2wd with that much power in this crap weather is no fun

Rs gus on here had his 450-500bhp and was a total animal felt really nice..But his engine is out now having a 2.1 650bhp engine built.

 

I like scoobys anyway tbh. Cant be many cars out there that are as fast, reliable & practical as them. Just hate that there soooooooo many of them on the roads now!

 

My 350/350 version 3 TYPE-R was manic, running Motec etc and close ratio box, it was upto 130 in no time...

 

Which is exactly why i replaced my Escort 1.8 with a Scooby WRX STi. For a daily driver they simply cant be beat. Mine is a Prodrive which has been remapped by Well Lane which is a cossie tunner !!!! so has a nice usable and reliable 330 bhp.

Think i'll be having an impreza type-r after the saph gets broken up.

 

Ive just bought a wrx a couple of months ago for the winter. Its an m reg classic shape. Its 380bhp and to be honest im quite impressed with it. Its really quick off the mark and gets its power down nicely. Best bit about it is i got it for next to nothing cos the lad said the engine was knackered! what he hadnt realised was he'd filled it with diesel. long story short drained the diesel out, put new filter on, 20 quids worth of superplus, fired straight up sweet as a nut. RESULT

 

its a black type-r its on a p reg if thats any help? dont know the diffrence between em all,he told me its got a version5 spoiler? and later wheels,its swayed me,just bin browsing the bay

it was seriously quick,its owned by a lad that runs his own subaru garage called autotechnia

 

They have the dccd fitted aswell.

 

mate of mine loves his scoobys, had them for years, think he is on his sixth now IIRC. his last one was a genuine 400+bhp car, he imported it from japan, engine was built by a well know tuner over there, and it was like a rocket, the way it accelerated, and the way the speedo went round to silly numbers in no time, was genuinely frightning. i drove it a couple of times, didnt even push it that hard, and its one of the quickest cars ive ever driven.

 

Like the imprezas far better than the evo's.

 

Yeah same reg mine was, in that case running 470bhp it will be FUCKING fast... as they only weigh around 1100kg...

 

The question is though ......


Did you bum it ? or atleast the driver

 

Quite impressed with 380bhp in a classic, you must be used to some animals haha.

What's the spec, turbo etc? Seems strange for someone to have one so modded to not know he'd filled with diesel and then give it away. Lucky buy.

Most powerful one I've had made 360/360. I bought it as a knackered sti type r then fitted a 2.5 engine with p1 heads, fmic, td05-20g turbo lateral modded injectors, parallel fuel mod, walbro, 3" system, power fc mapped by JGM. Prob was slightly more on the road as it was mapped from scratch on the rollers and was getting warm when it made that power then it was finished on the road.

It was really fast to me, genuinely impressed with the punch as it made all it's torque by 3,500rpm. Had my mate shifting back in his seat on the way home form mapping.

I've got a bugeye sti wagon currently which is pretty much stock and it's pretty impressive for a stock car, jdm model and it flies really.

My mrs has a uk turbo wagon, last of the classics on a Y reg and only 47k, it's a really great car. I love imprezas myself.

 

dont do it fella.

 

my old scooby had 450 brake the places you could get up to 125 was unreally ,god i miss it

sti ra verion my mate imports them wouldnt buy a english one mine was p reg but underside still had stickers on prop when i got it

 

Not for a few years yet Glenn.

 

Glad to hear it!!

 

I dont know much about them tbh mate but i do know its got loads ov goodies on it, bigger turbo, different ecu, intercooler, Its had a fortune spent on the suspension, brakes, strut braces front and rear,18" wheels, It was only imported 3 years ago so the body work is really good. Its even got a dvd player in it that must have cost a bit. The lad paid Ł3000 for it and only drove it 45 mile before it broke down. He swears he put unleaded in it but it was defo diesel i drained out. I got it for Ł600

 

He'll NEVER do it lads, just attention seeking again...

 

I will have your wheels Kev

 

My classic was 265bhp and off the mark was very fast so this must be an animal

 

My classic sti is only 300bhp at the moment but I want 450bhp out of it and I've got plans for it next year. My mates standard looking classic has 617bhp!

 

Got bored with mine at circa 400bhp, now building a 2.5ltr with a 35R.
Hugely capable, A to B its quicker than 99.9% of anything else on our roads.

Doesnt stir the soul like a cossie does though mate... nothing does

 

I've loved each of my Imprezas (6 in total now..) for various reasons... my 350/400 STi with the 2.5 was an epic drive because of all the torque, the fact it was brand new and looked slightly different because of the few mods I did to the outside.

But my 340/320 UK Turbo with JDM STi Spec C 6-speed conversion was absolutely amazing and was definitely my favorite, it went like a bullet and got to big numbers very quickly... if it had been a Wagon then without a doubt I'd have kept hold of it so people could have used it for carting the dogs around in.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Shut up kodak.

There yours lover.

 

I despise subarus. I've been in Many and find them boring and I hate the noise they make. Remove a plug lead on a yb and get a Scooby.

 

P.s kev, wash your mouth out!!

 

I've got some for sale now.

 

Like the scooby these days myself tbh

 

 

Good cars imprezas,but as said a tad to common right now,probably cos they don't rot badly!!!

Never had any bother with mine aside from an alternator which never actually stopped it from going.the only downside was fuel consumption but I think that was down to a dodgy lambda sensor and cat as we swapped it for a good one off another car and he reckoned it was pretty good on fuel.

I'd love another but it would be either a 2 dr classic or a bug eye model.

 

Agree would have to be a ltd edition like p1 etc.

 

The type R is better than the P1 I love the DCCD box and I'm going to to get one for mine.

 

what are the box's like on type r's? strong? chocolaty?

DCCD you send send power to the rear upto 70% and 30% up front to 50/50

 

i dont know what makes you think they dont rot i went to look at 5 rb5's every one had bad back wheel arches one i went to see would have needed 2 1/4 panals as there was holes in both sides. i do like them tho id love a good clean rb5.

 

Even full of helium they arent that light.

As for rot. You may find some with minor rust. Rot is what happens to Fords !!!
