PinkTurboGirl Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I need some help here guys..... I am seriously considering getting rid of the pink princess for a P1. I am completely torn[] I love my car because its me, It represents me in every way. But...... 1. Shes losing money every day 2. Shes getting old 2. Shes done over 100'000 k a P1 would hold its value, is a limited edition and is super sexy in a different way to mine. What do i do????????
Little H Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 depends how much you want to spend. IMHO if you can get a 20k miles P1 for a good price then its a great car as im sure Paul N wil agree, personally i would go for a V8 STi and mod it. Either that or a WR1 if youve got the cash...

I prefer the classic shape[] No disrespect to anyone with the newer shape, thats just me.[]
PinkTurboGirl Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 I wouldnt have to think twice on that one![]
Julian WRX MY93 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 all depends what you wanna do with the car..........

PinkTurboGirl Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 I want to find the most standard one i can find, Julia. Im not interested in modding a P1, maybe an up rated exhaust sytem with de-cat but thats all i would want. IMHO P1 's are best left standard[]
rasher Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Quote P1 would hold its value, is a limited edition I am afraid no Scooby will do that, they all lose money like its gone out of fashion, but an unmolested P1 will IMHO lose alot less than most of you dont mod it. They are quick enough anyway in standard guise. Speak to Paul or Jenni about one. Jenni hasnt had hers for too long so it would be good to get first impressions from her. What is your budget by the way??
PinkTurboGirl Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Ive been told that the P1 engines have a tendency to go bang around 50-60 k due to mapping and the standard oil pump. Does anyone know of, or experienced this? Rash, my budget would be around 15k. All depends on what i can get for mine[] who is Jenni BTW? I would like to get her opinion on them.

rasher Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 pity you couldnt stretch your budget a little further as this one seems like a cracker http://www.litimports.co.uk/stocklist.asp
rasher Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 just checked it out again and the exhaust etc is already sorted for you so all you have to do is enjoy!!!!
1488 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 The P1 is just one of the meanest badest hotest cars on the road, If you can afford one and find one BUY IT, plus Fit bird in a flash motor....you'll be fighting the blokes off with a stick. You could always spray it pink later one. The only pink P1 in the whole wide world.....unless elton john has one. P.S If you can afford one any chance of lending me a fiver till friday
my93wrx Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Go for it jak, ps can i have a go if you get one []
PinkTurboGirl Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 The one at Litchfield was the first one I looked at. But its a little out of my price range i'm afraid[:'(] Been to look at a few today, this one stood out[] But, something didnt sit right, so its staying where it is..[]
Daniel-s Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 LOL Hope whatever you do you'll be happy[] Your is quite cool even though i'm a boy
paul n Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Hi, Where to start had our P1 for 3 years & recently changed for the WR1. The P1 is the best car we have owned & being totally honest I prefer it to the WR1 [] Ours had 40k on the clock when we bought it & sold with 69k, no engine problems at all, they do have a tendancy to pop engines but think a lot depends on how they are looked after. Few pointers below, just my opinion [] Always warm up and cool down properly Fit knock link and quality guages, never let oil temp go above 117 degrees Avoid cars with induction kits and or decats, unless been remapped Most P1 engines blow due to faulty MAF sensors, signs are eratic idle and lumpy running at low revs usually doesnt bring on the check engine light, we changed the MAF annually £75 & easy DIY job Other causes can be, been on motorway at prolonged silly speed, decats or induction kits fitted without remap (makes engine detonate at high revs) See you have found the P1 WOC, great site for P1 info and a good bunch peeps [] Car at Lichfiekds now sold, know car and owner, it was a real minter Advice from me would be to buy a standard P1 with full Subaru history and a warranty. They are a tremendous drivers car but do need to be looked after. If I can be of further help let me know [] Cheers Paul
