graham_lazenby Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Every time I look round the Scooby sites there"S ALWAYS SOMONE HAVING A GO ABOUT WR1"S Link to comment
wrxmania Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Not me - I'd have one The colour usually and the cost too. In saying that people easily spend £30k on an STI, PPP etc sprinmgs, wheels and get the same car..... Link to comment
kip Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 i like them but i think its the cost which shocks most people Link to comment

graham_lazenby Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 I do its lovely Link to comment
chrisp Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Talking new cars IMHO : Best off the Shelf UK Impreza - WR1 Best off the Shelf Impreza (globally) - JDM Spec C Ltd Best new Impreza for sale - Type 25 Best impreza ever - mine Depends what you want, WR1 is a great car and has the Subaru UK backup Link to comment
SilverTurboWagon Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Not true. There is one current thread in which it gets lightly prodded but not bashed. I'd have one. Link to comment
graham_lazenby Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 Yup works for me Link to comment
AndyC_722 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Under attack? Dunno, maybe people are jealous, or just fed up waiting for their own cars to turn up... Link to comment
Gee Wr1 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Let me guess thread on SN? It's the norm over there Never seen any posts doing that on here. Don't know why people are so shocked by price, how much do they spend buying mods, remaps, exhausts, wheels(lots of sti's with ppf7's & they're not cheap) etc trying 2 get same power, & still don't get DCCD or warranty. It's always the same bunch of usual suspects that hammer it on SN, Sad really Gee Link to comment
Guest Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Probably because they keep parking in P1 parking bays Charlie Link to comment
SJD Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Am I the only person in the world who likes the WR1 colour?! I think they look cool, although it's an expensive paint job compared to the 'ordinary' STi. Having said that, the guy that owns the one round my way never gives me a 2nd glance in my paupers chariot. It's still them & us with the new-age and classics... Link to comment

SJD Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Still waiting for that bridge...... Link to comment
AshleyJ WRX Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I like the colour and I think they have got the styling just about right aswell. The Type 25 is not going to be available for long. Becuase the MY05 Spec C is so good Litchfield arnt going to make it anymore. Iain said they only reason they started doing T25 was because they couldnt get the Spec C anymore. But considering a MY05 JDM is only £26,995 (320bhp out of the gearbox) the WR1 does seem a tad expensive. Depeds on how much you want the warranty. I am at Litchfields on Thursday looking at a MY05 JDM with a type 20 upgrade. £29,500.00 360bhp. Does seem a better deal than the WR1. Link to comment
heazille Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 << Still waiting for that bridge...... >> Nah, we still like to be able to pick n choose a bit you know Link to comment
rasher Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 << Every time I look round the Scooby sites >> do you mean Scoobynet??? Link to comment
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 << Not true. There is one current thread in which it gets lightly prodded but not bashed. >> Just saying I wouldn't pay £30k for one. By the time I have spend £30k on my STI8 I will of had AP Racing 6 Pots, GEMS Ecu, Various Exterior Upgrades etc and a 500bhp engine in it Link to comment
matfitzpatrick Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I quite like WR1s myself...although I'm not a huge fan of the colour, black is my fave STI colour....I just think that after the P1, which was quite a big thing....3 door coupe, 277bhp (50bhp above Turbo2000) etc etc...it seems to me (not having a pop here) that the next ltd edition was not as big....they have taken an STI and given it some more power and DCCD and added 5-6k on top of an STI for the privelige...I think IMHO that Subaru could have made it more 'special' if they really tried....but I would never attack anyone for owning one...I appreciate all Imprezas and respect the owners decision for buying the car they have....some may think I am crazy for spending 20k on a P1 in Jan, when another 5k would have got me a brand new STI...but my dream was always to own a P1....so fair play to the WR1 owners who have fulfilled their dreams to own a WR1!! Link to comment
AutomodellistaGT Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 its a special edition, so is less rare then the normal sti, packs a more powerful punch then the sti ppp, and has the dccd (i know that the myo5 will have it too) but its also got a full uk warrenty!! i think its just jealousy personnally Link to comment
Monkey Boy Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I think it echos what Matt has said...the WR1 was the 'top' Scooby, had all the hype, and all the $$$ added to it, but when it came to the crunch, there could have been a lot more car for the money. In the tests it did well, but was pipped by the P1 as the best UK Impreza in the Evo test. Another aspect is the jealousey...not in a 'hate' way...but the same as the 22B...you know you would like to have one...even if not for the car...just to say you own or have owned one. I personally don't care about the variant, if you are lucky enough to own one then you are blessed...enjoy what you have. I think a lot of the WR1 'bashing' that is seen is just people wanting the kudos that it has. People who say they would rather have this model or that model...go buy the one you want...and let the WR1 peeps enjoy thier cars. Link to comment
DEVLIN Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I,ll second that monkey boy. Link to comment
andy_bray Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I would have one, If I had the money... Link to comment
CustomScoobyIOM Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 << People who say they would rather have this model or that model...go buy the one you want...and let the WR1 peeps enjoy thier cars >> Aye go for it! But the other thread was particuarly asking which one peeps would rather have But as Monkey Boy says its your money So do what you want with it Link to comment
Derek FKS 85 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I would have one too. Don't like the colour though. Link to comment
