Anyone here into them?
Seem very cheap these days, can get a nice early wrx for around £1500...

I have a great passion with them as my dad used to have one when I was younger...
This one infact...





Anyone else have any fond memories?

Love them, a nightmare to work on though and good luck finding one thats unabused.

I had the WR1 as a daily driver and loved it. I would have a classic shape no probs but it would have to be a P1 or a 3dr type r

rs clint

nice car sound really good go for it

oriurbo

Cheap fun.

turbolee

love em had some great times when me and the lads all had them and went cruising round great times at great speeds like you say 1500 buys one but how good of a car will it be and am sure the cost of repairs will soon out way what you paid so be prepared to loose a few quid too

Was it written off after it went through halfords window?

I love the classic shape !!!

rs clint

bit harsh not that bad

I like the classic shape but only in 3dr form, Type R/RA, P1 and 22B are nice, just the engine lets them down when searching for more power.

rs clint

bttn told the 3dr wrc versions are quicker than four door version

My old man imported a few classics new in the mid to late 90s. They were proper rare in them days, was the most popular kid in school. He loved his R reg one so much he kept it till mid 2003, by then they were chav wagons. Some 18 year old bought it. The day he picked it up with his mum dad took her to one side a said to make sure he was careful as its a very quick car (genuine Sti 280hp, starship fast back then) she said 'don't worry, he's had a saxo vtr since he was 17' dad shook his head and handed the keys over!

Next day he got a disgruntled voicemail saying it won't go over 112!

6 months later it was upside down in a ditch.

I had one, was more for the missus she wanted a blue Subaru with Gold wheels so this is what i bought a full PPP EU Sonic Blue UK2000 - sold in 2010 for a decent price of £4400 but was a really nice car in pretty mint condition

The Type R's and P1's etc were a lot quicker than the usual STI's/WRX.

Bet you're secretly pulling your wire over it, eh.

i had a 97 wrx ra brilliant fun drove like a go cart and awesome noise......

not bad...have you been stabbed in the eyes?

Stickers , eyebrows , fake carbon , m3 mirrors , blue bulbs , big red mudflaps

Each to their own I say. One mans trash etc etc

D1on

The car was like this around 2005 so I guess modified cars we're rather popular then...

Halfords don't sell "fake carbon" bonnets costing £500, the blue bulbs are Chrome indicator bulbs so their wasn't a yellow bulb in the Crystal light conversion. Although I do admit they look blue. I guarantee they didn't light up blue! also the "m3 mirrors" are m6 mirrors

if people don't have positive comments to make. Don't make negative ones.

Sorry to all the other people who have participated in this thread

Ginge !

Well I have a classic v3 STI impreza,,, in all honesty I love it apart from when I decided to mod it,,, used it every day for 2 years as a daily driver then a occasional drive to wool/weekends ect

Ok the image is shite but they are perfect cars to drive honestly are !!!

Ginge,

Best one made for me mate the V3 , i loved my Type R, great car, had a forged Tractive Solutions Engine, huge APs, bigger blower etc etc. did a 12.6@ 109 so was pretty quick, flat out @ 130 though but that's jail speed anyway

Ginge !

Mine does just over 150 on the clocks as SiB was the nutter I was following to catch up with the ring trip convoy,,, didn't melt either might I add and its done it a fair few times

Watch when it's back on the road the twat will melt now lol

I honestly can say I love driving my impreza, I just hate the image of them

GAZ W

Sorry , but if you put pics up of what I think is a halfords special , Im going to make negative comments

What do you want me to say "That looks fucking brilliant that does mate , every impreza shoul look like this" ?

here s my old v5 sti, had this back in 03/04ish,
great car imo if looked after,
but finding a decent one now will be very hard,
if i was to have another it would be a type r v5/v6

Cozziekid

I love them! This is my UK Wagon. Never fails to put a smile on my face when i take it out

rs_traynor

Cracking cars and a lot of fun for your £££££

I had my turbo for six years. I've only just sold it




No more difficult than any other car of that era.

bazzal

This was mine about 6 years ago, only cost me £2000, i absolutely loved it. would have another one in a heartbeat if the missus would let me, lol

SmudgerByName

I'd love a classic but if I was going to do it I'd stick it on low spec bumpers and spoilers with a set of banded steels or something with some seriously sticky rubber and had a nice sleeper lol

v man

I'd have one but it would have to be a tuned wagon

blacknlow

now that is a really nice one!

V5/V6 STi Type R definitely one of the best classic Scoobys

andy888

Cozziekid
