The new motor.....

Olliec · Oct 8, 2009

Well after selling my clio I decided i needed some boost in my life and went for this. A uk turbo with the Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP). It is the cleanest uk impreza i have seen and with only 36k on the clock one of the lowest milleages too. I love it, the cross country pace is amazing. Anyway here are some pics.

Nice colour. That is very low mileage for the age!

philmots · Oct 10, 2009

Fair enough mate, I agree some are a bit chav but I think mine is fairly subtle and for 5k its a lot a car and performance for the money.

£5k! My brothers 55 plate STI was only £8k.

jayxx83 · Oct 10, 2009

Amazing price for an STI! Thats about 2-3K Cheaper than it should have been- good work.

Gaz. · Oct 11, 2009

Not a subaru fan but that looks a cracking purchase fella.

cat171 · Oct 11, 2009

That looks nice, it's good to see one that's not chavved up.

Timmay · Oct 11, 2009

very nice!

SC03OTT · Oct 11, 2009

Don't like Scoobs, but that looks a very clean example. Enjoy it!

Aluco · Oct 11, 2009

Actually, it is quite subtle looking. Maybe I've just seen too many chavved up versions. They do sound nice!

uk turbo and wrx are completeley different

yellowbelly · Oct 23, 2009

Nice mate, drove my mates Turbo 2000 and was very impressed considering they're low down in the grand scheme of scoobies.

Preferred you Clio though bud

Uk turbo was badged Turbo2000 and the imports were wrx

though the newer bug eye scoobs onwards, the uk's were called the wrx, all 'classic' shape uk sciibs were called the Turbo2000

I was lucky to own a nice red classic uk Scoob, which had the original Prodrive pack, still miss it now

Thanks Lee. Good to see the clio comming along well! Still finding it rapid? When are we gonna see pics of it on coilovers?

riz · Oct 24, 2009

What is it like in the twisties?

Ali · Oct 24, 2009

35k! Wow...Sure it's not been clocked??! :S

Adz89 · Oct 24, 2009

Yeah loving it still Ollie, in time would like to get more out of her though.

Coilovers are on and today i got the alignment etc setup correctly so it drives better but annoyingly i've somehow lost my DSLR usb lead so can't bloody upload any snaps.

Snakey · Oct 24, 2009

Nice, think its the first one I seen in that colour

Olliec · Oct 26, 2009

Very good mate. There is little roll and the grip is fantastic as you would expect.

Probably not as agile as the clio, but more stable in long fast sweepers and under breaking.

I was dubious myself but the service history ties in and the condition is amazing.
I have had it checked over by a mechanic and have been assured that it has'nt been in an accident or resprayed.

Olliec · Nov 7, 2009

Now with 17'' wheels.....
