My New Forester Sti

[leeds_182]

I decided to sell all my shite and buy something less shite.

I like scoobys and have had three before. Just something about the sound that I liked. I’ve never had a forester so decided to take the plunge and get an Sti.

There was literally none within 200 miles of me but this one came up in Cornwall and was owned by an ex CS area rep so it was meant to be.

Flew down with the boy in the smallest plane ever.

My homeless beard does not work with masks.

Got there, did the deal and drove the 360 miles back.

Obligatory v power shot.

Few more pictures when I got home;

That's immense. What's the spec.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Like it. Can you stop buying old Volvo's now lol

 

[Daz...]

That’s an excellent purchase!

 

[Matthew]

Wow that looks ace! Thanks be to Christ we don’t have see another shitty old Volvo 😂

 

[bashracing]

Stupendous procurement

 

[RustyMojo]

Proper barge that! Love it! Want one

 

[Krarl]

Looks spot on!!

How far did you get up the country before you sold it? We all know those driveway shots are the work of photoshop😂😂

 

[Mork of Ork]

Looks great!

Your neighbours were probably thinking "I don't know what type of Volvo that is." 🤣

Looks great.
Been looking at them again recently.

Loved my old one!

Standard with the exception of the Hayward and Scott exhaust. Tempted to stick a decat on and remap it but we’ll see.

One did mention it to me that it wasn’t a rusty volvo or rusty VW.

Cheeky c***s.

 

[imprezaworks]

Had one of those exhausts. Very nice

 

[McGherkin]

Who sold it to you? Looks great, love these. Mental that there are heavier hatchbacks these days.

EDIT: VBH approves...

Creeping in here like I’ve been here for the last 10 years 😂

I’m so glad it went to a good owner...I’m not at all regretful...

Have fun with it!!!

 

[_Tom]

Love that. Shame it wont last. Got to be a good investment these days?

 

[Bankrupt_drunk]

Another former subaru owner here. I've always liked these. One of the highlights from back when subaru made all kinds of excellent fast stuff.

 

[Rojer]

Looks really good in white, great purchase! Bit more power and you're away.

 

[Vicky.]

It was good to meet you Jim, when you do sell it again let me know 😂

 

[Matthew]

What do these make, power wise, as standard?

Dont let my persona on here fool you. I’m committed to long term ownership.

sometimes.

Official figure is 265 but most are pushing 300 minimum.

My old one was apparently standard but felt more than 265.

Love it mate, proper wagon. Just need to buy a cheeky little track weapon and a trailer, and you also have yourself a perfect tow car.

 

[Matthew]

What’s the interior like? Classic Jap plastic fantastic?

Oh yeah, cheap and cheerful. Seats are nice though.

 

[Craig]

That's awesome. Love it in white aswell.

 

[R3k1355]

You sold all your shite?

There's not a brick-shaped Volvo or slow VW hanging around anymore?

No VW but I’ve still got the brick shaped volvo.

That’s immense. What a buy.
I will have a scooby one day 😂

 

[Cads]

I’m another Subaru fan boy. Never owned one of these mind you buy always loved the JDM versions.
That said I’ve equally enjoyed your other recent purchases/sales too. 👍

 

[Matthew]

What sort of MPGs did you get on the drive back Jim? I’m a little sad there’s no petrol station photo..

Edit - There is!!! 😂

 

[welshname]

That’s bizarre. I tagged you in his thread asking about these a few weeks back, and you go and sell yours to him.

You don’t buy a Subaru Sti and take notice of mpg.

 

[Bluebeard]

Utterly Heroic purchase.

Decat, open cone filter and a map and she’ll sound and go much better.

Decat and map is on the cards once I get a few other bits done 👍

Surley you take note even more, so you don’t run out in the middle of no where?

 

[imprezaworks]

Not a true petrol head unless you border on empty

 

[ChrisR]

I keep looking at these lately as a totally unnecessary purchase.

My man rationale as if a new baby this would better lugging stuff around and being a good top car over the RS3.

Keep meaning to pop up to Torque and have a nose at one, had a MY2005 blob WRX that was good fun even if it was slow-ish.

I know it’s poverty spec on the interior but it does have a fuel gauge!

Must have been meant to be 😂 i was messaging on a dud account on FB that I use for meets and marketplace stuff and noticed he was a CS member so asked if he was new or old member... then clicked who it was.
