The Impreza picture and discussion thread

[imprezaworks]

Looks like its either sold or taken off sale. Like any forum people will probably want it for half the advertised price

[Mr R.]

[Ray Gin]

[Welsh.Dan]

Crap. Definately crap.





I want one [emoji17]

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah probably very similar to the phase 1, but slightly quicker.

 

[Mr R.]

That's exactly what im hoping for mate, a better motorway car and then and epic B road hoon. :smiley:

 

[imprezaworks]

I was joking mate. The difference will be alot

 

[yeecup]

I don't think an ra could ever be described as a good motorway car....

 

[Adam93]

Very nice mate, as soon as its a Spec C RA the price shoots up.

 

[-Dan-]

Only just seen this thread, I no longer own this but I'm sure you can all appreciate it! By far the best car I've ever owned loved it to bits! but due to changing job not getting used etc etc i got made an offer by a french collector which i couldn't turn down so its now on display in France

being young i like to change cars very often to enjoy lots of different types of cars! I've had 16 cars in my 7 years since being 17

2005 Widetrack Blobeye 34k miles

I have also owned a P1 and a hatch WRX-S and hatch STI 330

 

[gambit]

So much want !!

 

[-Dan-]

I dont think a day has gone past in the last 14 months that i haven't regretted selling it :weary: i would buy another but i know i wont find another that has been so looked after, immaculate inside and out and built up to the spec i built that for track £1000's

Found some of my WRX-S good car but nothing on the STI models so didn't keep that for long

 

[Adam93]

Very nice mate, as soon as its a Spec C RA the price shoots up.

Yeah; Hurst had a Red Blob Type RA in last year for 15k which had done 98km, took ages to sell but they eventually shifted it. I am not sure if they're a special edition but i know they're rare cars. God i want a Scooby lol

That is stunning matey.....

 

[Mr R.]

Yes mate they are quite rare, compared to an STI they are lots more to buy.

 

[-Dan-]

Thanks Adam, I do like the type RA but sorry to admit I never liked the bug still hasn't grown on me after all these years!

I would love a S204 or 22B but I'm currently looking at a Lichfield Type 20 as I fancy a hatch with a 2.0l rather than the 2.5 And the fact they are perfect as they are for track use!

 

[Adam93]

I knew a lad who had an S204; he swapped it for an R205 which i went in and was an absolute riot. He's sold it now, not sure if the car went back abroad. Here's a few snaps....

Here's the S204....

Also recently imported this but not sure if he's sold this as well for a profit....

Went in the S202 at Oulton Park, preferred this to the R205 as it felt a bit more "raw"....

Not sure what he's got at the min, last time i spoke to him he wanted an S206 NBR or the lowest mile Spec C Type RA-R he can get his hands on.

He goes by the name of "Juggers" on ScoobyNet.

 

[Mr R.]

Got to be the best P1 available.

My old one is back up for sale. Been offered it back for less than I sold it for.

Sold for more than I paid, offered back for less than I sold it for...plus it now has four pots. Really wish I had space to keep two cars cos I can't bring myself to sell the Clio

 

[Herr Flick]

Just be ready for every single dickhead trying to bait you and race you. It will start getting very annoying.

Its got no proof of cambelt change, however its got stack loads of history/receipts upto about 77k I think. Its on 106ish now. Guy who had it before me documented oil changes after 77k

 

[Ray Gin]

Cambelts are cheap for them, I'd do it for peace of mind anyway

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

How much roughly? I never had it long enough to look into it. I was told it was done at 74k but without proof that could be bullshit

Has he advertised it at all?

Honestly I can't remember, I don't even think it was more than £100 though

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

He put a half arsed attempt on Gumtree. He's the laziest fucker in the world lol

I'll see if I can find the link

 

[imprezaworks]

Cambelt is about £250 from memory

He's smoking crack if he thinks he's getting 25k for that.

 

[Ray Gin]

That much?!

 

[Mr R.]

People thought the same when i had my PH1 up for sale.

But yeah its a bit expensive.
