UK300_loon Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 My UK300 is sold. A new house is iminant now and the need to free up a bit of cash for exciting stuff like carpets and white goods means my first Scoob had to go. Got an offer out the blue from a good mate, and couldn't refuse really. Went out with a tick sheet for a new practical car, had to be: - cheaper to buy - cheaper to run - cheaper to insure - hatchback / estate - more mpg - newer car - no nasty hidden bills lurking round every corner So I somehow ended up with this................ oops.
scouk Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Sorry to hear yu giving up the UK300 But... I LOVE the RB5's forget your 22B's and P1's... The RB5 is the best looking impreza ever! IMHO!! Good swap!! (& much cheaper road tax next year )

C_WRX Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 ....don't you just hate it when that happens - nope ! Nice looking vehicle. Must admit I've always liked the RB5's.
Guest Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) nice choice what number is it? and u been the RB5 owners club yet? i love RB5's because i own one here is a pic of mine Edited September 24, 2008 by Ciaran
UK300_loon Posted September 25, 2008 Author Posted September 25, 2008 Hi Ciaran, smart looking example you have there. I'm a real sucker for a special edition and have always loved the RB5, never thought i would end up with one though. I remember drooling over a mint WR sport parked at a rally stage the other year. Mine is #264 Wallybazoom's old car from the RB5 forum. Flew down and drove it all the way back from Kent! 11 hrs later, thank you redbull. Looking forward to getting it just how I want. I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to my car. Original and mint looking with a few subtle touches but packing a punch is the plan. cheers for the comments guys!
plimpix Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Now thats a lovely looking motor I want a classic....... Edited September 25, 2008 by plimpix

Ah Wallybazoom eh i bought my HKS dump valve off him. Kent is a bloody long drive i drove down there last year in a hire car it is alot further than u think. My car is as i bought it and im considering getting the original PIAA fog light covers as that is what makes an RB5 look individual from the front. I like the P1 front splitter though so it will be staying. Im planning on the upping the power a bit also to maybe 330ish and see how that compares. U should get yourself a memebership on the RB5OC as iv made the money back on the discounts u get already plus a good bunch of boys (just like here) that know what they are talking about
ScoobySounds Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 haha I thought i was gonna see a micra or something, lol, another scooby - class nice one! .. the best colour!

Nice set of issue number reg plates and an RB5 decal set have just arrived through the post. The plates are spot on, nice and subtle but with your own issue number in the bottom corner. Already a lot more excited about this car than the last somehow. Will hopefully manage to source a set of the original 17" Speedlines soon then i'll be even happier. Loving the colour too. Will have to take some more pics now that i've given it its first detailing session. chuffed.

U will be lucky to get a set of STD wheels. They are nearly as desirable as a WR spoiler!!!!!!!!
