It seems a nice enough motor TBH. Lights easily changed as you say if they're not you're cup of tea.

There are quite a few for sale on the P1woc if it's definitely a P1 you're looking for.

Theres one with a 2.5 done by Scoobyclinic and a full respray. Guy spent 15-16K on the work and he's asking what it should be sold for, someone has told him £11 dropping to £10k. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1038492.htm. A lot of kit for the money if he did sell at the £10K and no need to worry about a rebuild. Not a fan of the big scoop but easily removed.

theres this one for £7500 too http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1021625.htm

Decisions decisions

DanTerzo - no idea why they never came with a plaque when most of the other limited runs did. The group buys pop up every now and again so keep your eye on the P1 forum

Hi Fella,

Both look good, I do like the first one and have contacted him regarding price, and also if he has the standard scoop and vents - I agree with you than they are not the best looking as they are.

Not 100% sure if it will be a P1, just a thought, the shortlist is a P1, Type R or RA.

Cheers

It would appear that my sarcasm didnt come across very well written down haha.

I love those wheels, so much so i put this in the wanted section

Oh well B)

stuarted- my P1 has the plaque, i thought it was a standard item tho. Glad someone went to the trouble of putting it in

Now I read it again fella - it's crystal clear why you stated the wheels needed changing!!!! :brickwall:

Doh!!!!

Cheers

the p1 at 7500 looks a nice car, u may find that the wheels rub though, strange as it may seem since they are the same style as the anthracite or gold 1s u get for a p1, but my mate put the same 1s on his and had problems with them rubbing, just a wee thing to check if u did look at that car....

I had that trouble with an old classic I had a few years ago Scott when I put 3-way proflex on it, great suspension, but the thicker units did havoc with finding wheels to fit. In the end I had to fit massive spacers - then the wheels rubbed in the wings, gave up after that and put the old wheels back on!!!

Been looking at this one guys, whats your thoughts???

argh no! :D

stick with your original shopping list of P1, Type R or RA

Argghh Yes :rotfl:

Good spec & a bit different I quite like that Imy

Well I can see what you mean about the 430bhp!!, however the 2 door classic shape just can't be beaten in my eyes.

Tough one Gary sure you will make the right choice in the end.

Didn't you just sell a blue blobeye recently?

If so, I don't see the point in going back to another one!

Go for a P1 - the one in the For Sale section looks a beauty.

Posted

id be tempted to stick with the p1 i think,its the scoob i regret not buying before i went newage lol

also bit nervous about the fact that the guys done all that to a wrx not an sti

Posted

No brainer for me ....................you'll always hanker for a classic BUT when that Sti has 430 bhp and serious money spent on it then I'd go for that anyday

Do you want to look @ it or drive it fast ?

Hi Fella,

Yes I did, but only as we had 3 cars and thought it best to get rid of 1, my company car is going back soon and need to find something to run around in.

Good point fella, never even looked at that, i have just e-mailed the guy to confirm what it is, but by the looks of it - it may be a WRX.

Cheers

Thats a wrx mate, the seats give it away and no STi badges of course,and the fact that he is advertising it as adding all the STi stuff. a lot of power though i would want a STi minimun.
