Hi guys

Im new to this forum. I am 25 next year so will finally be getting an 03 imprza sti, fingers crossed, and I cant wait!!! Im really looking forward to attending the trax event next month to see the SIDC stand . Ive not had the opportunity to experience much of the impreza on the road and no time at all in one on a track. I was wondering if any of you guys who is attending Trax would be kind enough to let me be a passenger and show me what an impreza is capable of on the track, before I take the plunge and buy one?

Cheers

James

Welcome fella.

A scooby is a great choice of car, very capable on road or track.

I'm not attending Trax myself so i can't help you out, but you might get lucky and find someone generous enough to take you for a spin (hopefully not literally! :blink: )!

Thanks buddy, I hope so but not had a lot of response so far,but I cant say i am surprised ;). Not sure if I would need a different ticket to the standard entry ticket to ride as a passenger?

What do you drive? Have you owned an sti before?

No idea about the ticket situation there mate. Haven't been to Trax for a few years.

My scoob is a '03 (blob-eye) STi. Its my 3rd scooby, i've had 2 WRX's before this one. Then had a couple of years away from subaru. The itch never went away though so i brought this:

Its the first STi i've owned. Had her since April '08. Absolutely love it :thumbup:

Hiya James,

We'll be at Trax on the SIDC stand with our 03 WRX and our type R but unfortunately won't be doing any track time as the R is (hopefully) in its last few days of a 6 month engine rebuild so we'll be taking it steady for a little while! :thumbup:

Make sure you come over and say hi though, there'll be plenty of people who will be more than happy to help with any advice you need :lol:

Snetterton Track Day

Have you seen this page?

Not a problem for a passenger ride - i am not the most talented of drivers but hope fully you'll get an idea of a scooby on full chat - nice long straight at Snetterton :) ... mind you the last time i was on a nice long straight on full chat the engine blew :D

Having a full rebuild at the moment - it was only the number 3 bearing that went but how many times do you get your engine out? .... so as it was there and few £k later ..... :lol:

Nearly done just waiting for FMIC to be powder coated and suspension to be fitted....
