Default Yes yes yes it's a bloody Subaru but......

I sold my Sapph a month ago to buy a GSXR 600 but 2 hours later I broke my ankle because I can't ride a bike right now I bought this for a little bit of fun and to break for parts over the winter

It was filthy when I got it so I wouldn't take photos of it in that state Tonight I managed to get it washed so I took some photos I got some funny looks washing it with a broken ankle but who cares













new steering wheel, it needs a clean but I had to add my touch and I don't like the standard Nardi



front Brembo's



and rears



I've only driven it 2 miles but the brakes feel good

3 years? WTF! How come you've had a broken ankle that long? I broke mine a month ago and I'm walking around unaided from time to time, I only put my cast/boot thing on just in case I tripped over the hose earlier I was out on my mountain bike before I washed the car

I reckon I'll double my money and have some fun along the way, it should be 340bhp in a couple of weeks Someone has spent some serious cash on it in the past It's not a Cossie and it's slow but it'll be fun once it's been remapped again with added goodies

Someone spent serious cash on mine in the past and it's still fooked Upset a few people with it because it looked like shit (lexarse lights, cracked bumper, rust...) but had 300bhp Same reg as yours too!

Facelift front, front mount, brakes, rear spoiler... yours has some nice bits on it.

lol It's got other bits I haven't mentioned like the P1 interior, front bumper, Apexi power FC, sti rear lights etc. It's still fucking slow though because it's got a manual boost controller and it's producing no boost

I also don't know if mine is a wrx or sti because some dick has ripped the plate off It looks like an sti engine and it's got sti injectors but who bloody knows what it is

It's a Subaru so it has to do 2 things

1) have a daft spoiler

2) sound like it's on 3 cylinders

(Optional) be too loud

This ticks both boxes As a bonus there is also a blow on the exhaust

I didn't even get as far as getting the 600, I broke my ankle 2 hours after selling the sapph I'll get one next year after I've broken this.

Seems quite a few people know the car from when she had it, the rear doors are a pain in the arse.

To be honest my first thought was to put the child locks on just to piss her off, some people will be glad to know she has some money now.

She lost an awful lot of money on the car, I saw what she paid for it and I know what my mate paid for it a couple of months ago. I have heard that she has scarpered owing quite a few people money which is odd considering all stories say that she had a wealthy father

Hopefully now the car is going to be looked after properly.

I've heard that she owes quite a few people money and it's not nice being the new owner of a car that has history due to a dodgy owner It's in different hands now

The reason for buying it was because of the bits on it, it looks good in that colour but I wish someone hadn't removed the rear door handles.

It's not actually that tidy I'm afraid Such a shame that someone hasn't looked after it. It does still look pretty good as long as you don't get too close up.

I hope it will, I still can't drive it but I think the suspension isn't bad on there and it's got wider tyres than normal I'm also looking forward to seeing what the brakes are like because they are supposed to be good on classics.

You have a reply to your PM I never met her because my mate bought it off her. I'm interested to find out more about the car though.

Thanks

I drove it properly for the first time today and the brakes felt good, I didn't use them in anger though because I'm still taking it easy.
