Have always loved the 7. Said I would own one at some point but I think that ship has sailed now.

Was crap in the twisteez so obvious up grade was a clio.

I put it up on mlr drunk. Was in wales with friends, guy pmd me and said how much would I accept. Think it was 11k, so I said 11k. He said ok. Picked him up from Chester train station and drove back to mine. Had a mooch round the car and bought it cash. Was a mint car, like new. I spent 3k on it in 12 months, clutch was a grand cash. Paddle thing. Great for driving quick but an ass around town. Was the car I got banned in lol. Great bit of kit though. Awesone car.

He was from Portsmouth too. Was telling me about cars he had owned, did a lot of shows etc. My car was stripped and cleaned etc but not sure if it ever went anywhere. If you ever hear me say the Astra vxr is a good car, this guy said it was great. With the list of cars he had owned I tend to trust his opinion.

 

[S-JM]

I like early Evo's :smile:

 

[gambit]

Fan of the early EVO as well !

What a trek! Wonder if I've seen it about..

 

[imprezaworks]

Was probably about 7 years ago thinking about it.

 

[Stay Puft]

Ah, too young then, so probably not!

Evo's run in my blood as my Dad had a VI from new in 1999 when I was 13/14, he had that for a few years then upgraded to a VI Extreme.

These are days long before phone cameras and such, so the only thing I have of the first Blue VI is this fly by at Mallory in about 2003. This was the first car I drove on track at ~18/19 IIRC.

A few of the Extreme:

I don't think there's a quicker way of getting from one place to another than that car. How I bullied my Dad into letting me drive it at the Ring and Spa in my late teens / early 20s - I'll never know. I would buy this thing tomorrow if I could.

 

[Silent_Scone]

I actually love the Extreme, especially from the rear. Seems to be a Marmite edition.

Just dropped mine off at Dyotech for 4k service, front pads and trackrod ends. Then it's back to the body shop in a week or two.

Never ending story

 

[imprezaworks]

Brilliant cars.

Doesn't say anything about Lancers .

I don't have hair so Evo hair products are no good to me. Maybe a mod can merge

Well first things first, I got extremely jealous when the Impreza thread started to get more attention than the Evo thread (how could that possibly happen when Evo's are clearly the better car?!!... awaits extreme Evo vs Scooby banter), and if that wasn't bad enough, its now looking likely that your rival thread might become even more popular than the original one i created. I don't know how i'll live with myself if that happens.... :coldsweat:

 

[Silent_Scone]

Hey, mothers meetings are more popular than Evo's, doesn't make one better than the other :tongueout:. Both cars get equal love on here I think. Will get a mod to merge with the old thread

 

[cat171]

I still think Evo's are mega! I've never even been in one though For me the VI era on is when they looked the nicest.

I used to like you. [emoji22] [emoji23]

I wanted a 7 RS but ended up buying the Bug.

Maybe one day. [emoji1]

I'm pleased the scooby the scooby thread is doing well, just shows how common they are!

I see loads of scooby s every week but hardly ever see a evo.

Remember that every evo reviewed has trounced every scooby that itmwas up against, simple really.

I like the 22b however not a good car to drive, P1 I love but just the sound and looks.

No idea how good the spec C/D is but that would be my preferred choice.

Remember, Evo gives 370bhp on a remap, pump, exhaust and 3 port. That's on the 6 below, the rest will hit 385bhp and above.

Scoobys can only dream of those figures without a rebuild...

 

[Silent_Scone]

I hear a lot of people say the Scooby is just easier to live with day to day, but I doubt the same could be said for a P1 for instance. If hunting power is your thing, then that's the easiest choice you can make (evo). I'm seriously thinking of taking mine to 400/400 or there abouts

 

[Ant1]

Excuse my spelling, screen on the Ipad is going and it's driving me nuts, every other sentence is incorrect. Sodding thing.

 

[imprezaworks]

Evo is the better car. The scoob is imo a better drive. And the noise

 

[Silent_Scone]

noishee.

Better drive? You should of seen the understeer on the 22B at the photo shoot I was at....................................

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol was it really that bad?

 

[imprezaworks]

Maybe. But if I had to choose another it would be an Impreza. The evo is clinical which imo takes away some of the fun.

Each to,there own obviously, I have enjoyed many years of slaughtering Imprezas, not always in a Evo lol, and I will enjoy many more years doing to also :tongueout::kissingheart:

 

[imprezaworks]

Great news.

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol rivals, every schools got them :tongueout:. Scoobs never appealed to me personally, but I would cut a nut for a P1. I think it's chemistry more than anything, some people prefer the more approachable aspects of the Subaru. Just because Evo's have 4 doors doesn't make them practical lol.

Dat brutal acceleration, doe.

 

[imprezaworks]

Colin McRae started the ball rolling for me.

I appreciate both cars for what they are.

 

[Mr R.]

The Spec C is a total different animal to a STI.

 

[imprezaworks]

Was waiting for a video.

Hasn't someone on here got a spec c?

Well I was going to say how shocked I was that this thread had gone so far and.....[emoji23] [emoji8]


I hope you enjoy it mate, no problem at all. X

No factory scooby can compete
