lancia delta 6 times WRC

Theres one around my area, it goes and sounds very well.

Oranoco

Thought that was the Spec C that did those times.

I was chasing a WR1 at Bedford down the straights no probs so they aren't all that. THey are very good off the line and throught the twisty stuff but I'm still waiting to be impressed by any Impreza. Not lost a tear up with one yet. Even the wifes FRST has scalped a couple and she has more than a 50bhp defecit on mine.

Editted to add they are one of the better ones

WR1's are the light ice blue colour.

dickycox

yes mate they made 500

Oranoco

This is the one from Bedford. Driver was sideways at almost every corner

A guy at work bought one a few months back after upgrading from a bog standard sti.

the car did look very nice and had all the big brakes etc as standard, exactly as the one pictured above

never got the chance to go in it so cant really comment on its performance.

down side for him was that when we flew out to work in belfast he came home 12 days later to find his house had been broken into and the car taken from his garage!

M8 Pauls on Knockhill!



Pauls handles really well, the front end has been revised so the understeer of earlier Subarus is not an issue on the WR1.

Power wise they are fast and do feel quick on the road.

They can be a little tail happy but nothing to be overly concerned about.

Nice car IMO

pauls is a good car and a have seen it being driven too sideways

T28 RST

I have been in Pauls car sideways and it is fast, off the mark it is unreal

Daryl

CosKev3

Had a battle with one in my saph

Only going to be one winner

He was well pissed off Fastest subaru I've had to deal with but still passed him in 4th and pulled away in 5th

Redkop

They were that new, but now like all scoobs the prices are dropping rapidly, can be got for as low as Ł22-23k now. Just take a look on Autotrader, there's a fair few for sale.

GAZ345

saw this car at a few track night's at knockhill, must say compaired to other scoobies this look's a much better track car, guy throw's it about as well getting the back end out at the hairpin speed wise out of the box my money would be on the scoob, but would i sell a focus rs for one tough call,

Physio

A chaps got one around our way, we started having a tear up but then he changed his mind half way through & backed off

Nice car's though

dickycox

seen one up for 20.000 but dont know if i would be making a mistake selling the focus for one

Redkop

Buying any Scoob with residual losses like they are suffering at the mo, wouldn't be viable IMO - The Focus is holding it's price much better.

Have a read of this

We had one in our convoy to Le Man.

V v quick, did well against the other more expensive cars that went.

Would love one.

User 32922

quite a good read

JRST

A mate of mine has a spec C one and there rare. It goes like stink. Had a race with a 2wd 400bhp + car running T4 the scooby left it standing. I was in the cossie and all I can say is my mate was giving the car hell but by the time we got traction and started going it had pulled around 5 car lengths on us.

That car is amazing. Has swrc.co.uk written all over it.

Redkop

Must have been something wrong with the cossie then... my mate had a Spec C and in 1st & 2nd gear the Spec C was way faster, but once mine came on boost in 3rd, I was on the Spec C's arse like a rash and had to keep lifting off the throttle.

JRST

What colour was your mates on?

This one is in Hillingdon, Middlesex and is Black.

Redkop

A red one in West Yorkshire, it's been sold back now to Litchfields.

JRST

didnt know they made one in red?

As far as I am aware there are only 3 blue and 1 black in existance, and thats direct from prodrive. When I went on a factory visit with my mate thats what they said.

so hows your mate got a red one?

Are you sure its a Spec C

Oranoco

I'm 85 % sure my mate said they were white, blue or red when he was researching getting his.

JRST

i will try getting some pics and some info of him when i see him.

timb551

im also pretty sure they do a spec c in red.

Redkop

Absolutely certain. It was imported and taken straight to Litchfields after getting the report done and then SVA'd.

The for sale ad

JRST

Nah that dont look nothing like the one we had a race with. It looks like a WR1 in black though. Wheels and everything is the same.
