Can't wait for Metro! A really great series.
Don't get me wrong Forza 7 also looks incredible, but sometimes I just feel they're games are just technical showpieces.
Forza 6 bored me to tears with it's clinical approach as did the previous titles.
I really fancy an Xbox X, but I don't...
The Clio might get tarred with the 'it's French' b****cks but to be fair considering the amount of abuse most of us give them especially on track. They're bloody bomb proof.
(within reason of course)
It will be very interesting to see how the Scoob fairs at Blyton especially against the...
Cheers Dave!
As I was saying to Kris I have decided I really should try and enjoy this RA after all the effort, time, and money has been put into it.
Even with all the problems I've had I really do love the car, it's just a pain in the bloody arse!

Further investigation/stripdown concludes it might not be the turbo after all!
Impeller has no play, and appears to be dry. However both the intake pipe and intercooler pipework are very wet with oil.
Could suggest a breather issue. From what I've been told on the RA forum if your running more...
The RA will be there!
(hopefully)
I've got the whole day on track Saturday, and anyone is welcome to jump in as a passenger.

Cheers Scott,
I may well take you up on that. I'd rather get my TD05 rebuilt rather than take a chance on all the cheap Chinese turbos out there!
I doubt I will get much done this month as I fly out to Cuba next Thursday for my 30th so will probably have to wait until July.
With CSF looming I...
The RA is no longer for sale!
I'm going to keep the stubborn mistress...
The old girl put her foot down again, and I'm pretty sure the turbo has just let go!
A plume of white smoke under acceleration, and then when off the throttle the same out through what I presume is the intake.
Further...
Really enjoying this game. codemasters have done it again IMO!
I can't wait for Micro Machines to come out also! [emoji2]

I do love an E39 M5. Those wheels are awful though! The standard wheels are lovely, why change them for those is beyond me...

As much as I like a 'Z' I don't think I'd be able to drive around in one looking like that!
I agree though it does look smart for what it is.

It's funny you mention that mate! 😂

Next time we'll race for 'pinks!' I'll see you at race wars... :wink:
Thanks Mark, Kris did some cracking shots.
I have always liked them ever since they came out. That's about it really! A cracking engine with plenty of potential for tuning.
Doesn't need to be mate. Everyone knows a Clio is the fastest car on earth! :wink: However a supercharged Z would be...
Thanks Ross,
I'm glad you've enjoyed the read, keep an eye out for my next purchase as I'm sure that project will be full of the same! 😂
I haven't had any interest yet. It's a fairly niche car so I expected that, but as you said hopefully the right person will be along soon!
It might be due to the lack of use, but it's held up pretty well.
I knocked it with my knee when installing the engine and squashed a load of the fins.
A patient session with a pair of tweezers and it was alright again! [emoji23]
Thanks mate, but as great as they are I'm not a fan of the...
Thanks mate!
Cheers bud, seeing the photos makes me want to hold onto it!
I agree chap, but that's for the next owner to rectify (An un-cut bumper will be included in the sale)
Here's the photos for the advert on Piston Heads: https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/impreza-sti/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-type-ra/7263762
I'm byast of course, but the RA looks incredible! Massive thanks to @KrisRS182 for the photography skills.
Red cars in general always look good mate, and your 200 is no exception.
I'm a big fan of the 'clubsport' spec which is what I did to my Trophy.
We all know red cars are faster anyway. [emoji6]

Thanks Chris, I will definitely take a 200 for a test drive.
The only problem is if I did decide to buy one I doubt I could pick a colour between ultra red, racing blue, alien green, or storm grey!
They're all so nice!

There's a few cars on the list...
* Honda Integra DC5 - The DC5 is a car that's always been on my radar and I nearly bought one instead of the Impreza. I think fitting a Jackson Supercharger would put a massive grin on my face, and would remind me of my old Trophy.
* Nissan 350Z - Again the Z...
I'm open to suggestions bud. There can't be many cars you haven't owned! [emoji6]
I'm going to have plenty of time to think as I doubt the RA will sell quickly.
Hopefully getting some decent photos today to really show the car off.

I think it's fair to say my RA ownership has been rocky to say the least and although the car is now in a really good place, and a thousand times better than when i bought it last year. If i'm honest i'm always worried about what might go wrong next. Which is no bad reflection on the car just...
