Very nice indeed in black!!

Very nice Don. Would look even better with a bigger spoiler

Been there done that, prefer it being somewhat discrete

Here's mine


photo by Jimmyarm, on Flickr

Purchased today for the princely sum of 600

Has a slight misfire when cold, a tiny bit of rust on one of the rear arches and the top spolier and one wing mirror needs a respray.

Was traded in at a dealership a friend works at last weekend against a 318i. Believe the chap was from Swindon if he is on here ?

Currently trawling the interwebs trying to work out exactly what model it is, definately an import. Still has the flare and all the Japanese stickers

Needs some black OE wheels to set it off ?

ETA; It doesn't feel 'that' fast. Is this normal ? I haven't trawled through the paper work yet to see if its been on the rollers ever but has been decatted etc from my brief inspection.

Tony,

I don't often post here, or many other fora for that matter, but I wanted to comment on your car. I had a few Imprezas years ago, one of which was a 2002 UK Prodrive Impreza Sti, much like yours of that era. I saw on Scoobynet (in its heyday...) that you had fitted the non Prodrive grille and that it really worked well with the 'bug eyes' and mono plane bumper of that pre blob-eye model. I copied you and was chuffed to bits with the improvement in appearance of the then slightly awkward appearance of the car (my car was black as opposed to your WR blue). I say 'then' as I think time has actually been more kind to the bug eye variant than to the blob and hawk, as they are referred to.
.

The good old days after my bugeye I had a 1999 JDM Type R, then bought a Hawk JDM Type20 which I has nearly 6 years and was awesome

ellipsis said:

To the point. I actually like the 08-on hatch shape. The saloon, less so. Knowing that you know your Imprezas pretty damn well, why did you go for a saloon and a UK spec at that? Especially given that you have sampled and owned JDM variants, I really wanted to know what made you go for the 340R. This is not meant as a critique or a pasting, but given that you could clearly have afforded a Litchfield T20 etc. Why not?

Unfortunately came down to cost the Yen and 20% VAT and model report etc etc makes import VERY dear. IMHO

I asked Iain Litcho the cost of a New 2011 Saloon and a standard JDM would be 44K OTR (with very little profit for him) plus 6K for T20 setup so car would be 50K OTR compared to 35K for the UK

Now I love my scoobs but not that much ,)

[ScoobieWRX]

[quote=ScoobieWRX]I'd be trying to track down a used Type25 if you have c.20K budget. There must be one or two for sale somewhere. Rare and desirable with much more tuning potential just by swapping to FMIC.

ETA: I'm talking Hawkeye not Blobeye.

Only genuine parts used and yes the front bumper at that time was meggar expensive.

Front bumper 2K
1 bardge board cover 350
1 bonnet 700

Windscreen 600
2 wheels and tyres 1500
2 doors 900
2 door glass 300
Sill 150
1 rear 1/4 panel 350
Rear spoiler 750
Rear bumper 250
4 wheel alignment 150
8300

Repairs to a frame
Swop door fur nature
Weld in 1/4 panel
Prime and spray
1700

That's 10k and price roughly what I can remember

I just paid my 500 excess and kept my protected full no claims bonus

Double post sorry

You know what they say....You're not driving fast enough if you don't crash

Clearly you were on it

Just a shame about the tank slapper effect otherwise you'd have pulled it off nicely.

A very similar one is still the nuttiest road car I've ever been in! Utterly redefined my idea of "real world performance" (about 6-7 years ago).

Nice
