[JackJack]

Great buy

 

[bashracing]

Spotted you in Garforth
looks really well

Tucked up in the garage.

I don't do estates, or looks, but if I had to have an estate, I'd have one of these on looks alone.

There's just something about them that looks right.

 

[Donny_Dog]

There's something about Jim that looks right as well.

This is the kind of drop id fancy;

 

[Waitey]

The need arch gap, thats the whole point of them!

I love it.

There’s plenty of arch gap to play with!

These are my favourite Subaru after the 22B.

Awesome things.

Leave the ride height well alone!

 

[R3k1355]

Lose and inch and it'd be awesome

 

[Philip.]

The small drop is perfect on them!

That's amazing, great buy! The reliability of the engines put me off but a lot of that could be intenet bs?

What year is it? Can't tell with the JDM plate Y0.

Is it the 2.5?

Yup EJ25, was always the weaker engine compared to the EJ20, but the JDM version is probably better than the one we got.

There are some horror stories out there but this has had some ‘preventive’ work done on it with a head skim, new head gasket and arp head bolts. It’s also had the clutch and cambelt done recently so I’m hoping they’re a few bills that Iwon’t have to worry about.

Fair enough yeah. I was told similar by people/the internet before buying the 335, but with preventative measures and good maintenance, you're fine.

 

[leeds_182]

Finished my three day cleaning session today (probably only 8hrs in total but I broke it down).

Washed, rinsed, fall out remover, Clayed, polished and waxed.

Needs a dent man out for a few car park dings but nothing extreme.

Few pics;

 

[Krarl]

As @bashracing says

Thems be for sale pics... 😂

 

[MarkCup]

That ride height needs to stay exactly as it is.

 

[Krarl]

As above what MarkExcel said!

Mapped, massive BOV and just enjoy it!

F*** you moron magnet 😘

 

[Pep]

That looks bloody class! I think it’s the first time I’ve ever said that about any of your cars!!

 

[leeds_182]

I must admit, I’m starting to agree with you.

 

[McGherkin]

No BOV

EFA

 

[Krarl]

EFA

Scoobies are meant to have a massive BOV you absolute mincer

Full yob spec or you're a fanny imo

 

[McGherkin]

Chatter > psssh.

I didn’t mean a ghey recirc, I meant blanked off completely

Stalling the turbine wheel sounds good but wears the f**k out of thrust bearing and give silly amounts of lag,

Anti lag with ignition cut is what Jims neighbours need/want for those early morning shifts

 

[imprezaworks]

Car looks spot on. What wax did you decide on in the end?.

 

[Matthew]

Car looks ace. Extra marks for the location too. 100% a dogging spot that.

Popular myth.

Some bilthammer stuff I think. It was on prime!

 

[imprezaworks]

Double speed wax? It's decent stuff, cheap too.

 

[Iain C]

I was tempted with this too. Mega running costs tho. Vicky looks after a car.

I don’t do a lot of mileage so hopefully the running costs won’t be too ‘mega‘!

 

[bashracing]

I love old Volvos but this is special so don't bother modifying, just leave as is and enjoy it.











I reckon it'll be sold by page 6 of this thread

 

[Krarl]

I reckon it's sold

EFA

 

[Rob G]

Love it!
I really want one of these, but do too many miles a year to actually get one!!

 

[Ant1]

Looks well that.

 

[HardcoreJunglist]

Looks fantastic! I hope Gran Turismo 7 has one because that's the only chance I'll ever have of driving one
