rallyfever Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Hi All, Looking at buying a run around and have the one below in mind, really like the car, but the wheels I am not too keen on. If anyone can do some wizardry and magic some pics of the car with good rims it would be much appreiated, looking to keep them gold, up to 18" and as close to a rally look as possible.

Another vote for the milleniums although i am slightly bias here how it could look. Gary i would question the power figures, is it still on the standard top mount intercooler , injectors and turbo and ecu ? Has it been remapped?

Hi Fella, It was mapped by Andy Forrest, might give him a shout to see what he thinks of the car as he has 1st hand experience. Cheers Gary

crunchie Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Had 18" Speedline Turinis on my old classic. Plenty of frrom for STi Brembos Edited August 26, 2009 by crunchie
rallyfever Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 Had 18" Speedline Turinis on my old classic. Plenty of frrom for STi Brembos Funny you should post these as I have 2 in white in my garage from the rally car I sold at the end of last year. If it was the first car I think I would need to keep it gold to be as close to authentic as poss with the best look. Cheers Gary
dan_jess Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Think Gordon sold the car a while ago, will be a good car if he owned it. Think the car was from Troon before he got it aswell
crunchie Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Think Gordon sold the car a while ago, will be a good car if he owned it. Think the car was from Troon before he got it aswell Thats ironic, i lived in Troon when i had mine(my 5th pic is at Troon beach) W***ASB was the plate although i had S500BY K on it at the time. Cant be the same one surely! It should be dead by now lol. Edited August 26, 2009 by crunchie
dan_jess Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I think this is the same car, the pics look familiar as my friend was interested but it sold. Then heard Gordon Shek had bought one, possibly same car
crunchie Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 If it is im surprised its still going! It was already on its 2nd turbo when i sold it. Had to let it go, was getting too old. Bought a LCR, had it for 2 years but got black blobeye STi now.
dan_jess Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Had you done a lot of engine mods before you sold the car?
Rice Rocket Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 `The guy that owns it now bought it from gordon Shrek last year i think and he bought it from Murray who used to be on here. You will find the car is now for sale again over on the other scottishscoobbies.net ;0) When Murray owned it it was AWD & Harvey that done 95% of the work on it so it had the best of everything fitted and Murray lived in Troon! lol Ricey
crunchie Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Had lots of bolt-on mods when i had it but removed them to sell as std. No engine mods, must be a dirrerent one. Easy way to spot my old one was the small dent on the n/s rear quarter panel just where it meets the boot lid lol.
dan_jess Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I was mixed up with your car and the one Ricey is on about
mick67 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 the one with the white wheels belongs to a guy called aj. he's still in two minds wherever to sell her or not nice car though, and worth the asking price.
rallyfever Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Just found out that the 2nd car here is a UK2000, which although a great car in it's own right, I have my heart on something a wee bit more Type R or RAish. Will need to be convinced otherwise if I was to buy it. Seen this one though that also looks quite a good buy; Ad reads; sti type ra 5th injector model #268/555 made to celabrate mcrae winning the 1995 world rally championship, 70,000 miles. this car is an import, i am the 1st uk owner and have only owened it for 8 months but due to baby comming its got to go, it has full stainless exhaust system 18" revolution alloys only 4 month old and cost over £1000, proper subaru mud flaps. there is abselutly no rust on this car due to it never having been used in winter when the roads are salted, it also has the roof vent, diff controller, close ratio gear box and quick rack steering as standard. Other info gained since reading ad; 117000km or 71,000miles 5th injector diff controller roof scoop new battery new coils new downpipe (de cat) stainless system hks turo timer new wheels and tyres 18" revolution motorsport wheels with toyo t1r tyres impreza mats and stainless sill guards green cotton group n air filter eliment allways run on v power car has sparco wheel on at the moment but i have the origional nardi one in the house scooby sport mud flaps cambelt and tappets being done as we speak + oil and filters poly flex anti roll bar links on the back Just around the £5k mark would secire it me thinks, whats everyones thoughts??? Just e-mailed him to see what the power figures are. Cheers Gary Edited August 27, 2009 by rallyfever
