RA Dunk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 PMSL like your edit by adding "except sti ra's " to the end of my comment But sorry to RAin on your parade Acid but i include RA's in my original statement if mine was still standard i would have taken you up on the challenge lol mind you the WR1 is one of the very few newages i would actually own
RA Dunk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Still never driven one (Classic) so can't say. A man with a Classic once promised me a shot of his: still wating dont worry JW i intend to keep my promise, im going to be home for the SIDC trackday on the 17th, pop up past for a wee drive if you please
thewelsho Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 dont worry JW i intend to keep my promise, im going to be home for the SIDC trackday on the 17th, pop up past for a wee drive if you please I'd LOVE that! I have a wedding that day, so can't drive on track, but I'll see you there ma man!

jcscoob Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) How can a Newbie like me argue with a man with Subaru clothes. I stand corrected, my car is pants I love this thread, lol BTW, what does a WR1 have that an STI doesn't ? (other than the color, a funnky'ish subaru map, and high price tag !!! ) Edited May 2, 2008 by Jcscoob
mikkers Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I love this thread, lol BTW, what does a WR1 have that an STI doesn't ? (other than the color, a funnky'ish subaru map, and high price tag !!! ) The FACT (noticed you Scottish like that word) that only 500 were made and were the most powerful subaru made, from the factory. Mitsubishi and Subaru apparantly had an agreement they wouldnt go above about 270bhp ( I know prodrive stis are 305bhp) but the wr1 is 320bhp. This is only what i have read so dont blame me if im talking out my ar$e. I have a 2003 wrx and i love it - fact I will disappear to kent scoobies now and leave you aggressive northerners to fight it out amongst yourselves.
sti pretender Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Still never driven one (Classic) so can't say. A man with a Classic once promised me a shot of his: still wating If your at the BBQ in June you can get a shot in mine.
4Hero Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Having owned a UK classic turbo, blobeye WRX and a hawkeye STi, I have to say that nothing compares to the STi. Classics do not rule.
thewelsho Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I love this thread, lol BTW, what does a WR1 have that an STI doesn't ? (other than the color, a funnky'ish subaru map, and high price tag !!! ) WRX Spot lights, that light blue paint job, 17 inch PF7 wheels finished in a chrome colour and other stuff, oh yes, and a badge!
thewelsho Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 If your at the BBQ in June you can get a shot in mine. Yes please! At this rate, if I put togeher all the promises of shots in Classics, it will be like owning one!
RA Dunk Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Having owned a UK classic turbo, blobeye WRX and a hawkeye STi, I have to say that nothing compares to the STi.Classics do not rule. you cannot compare a UK turbo against a STi, whether its jap or UK spec, trust me i have one of each at my door and the difference is night and day the Jap ones rule
jac Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Yes please! At this rate, if I put togeher all the promises of shots in Classics, it will be like owning one! Me to John... still to drive a descent bone shaker, but for now the bug rule's
jac Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 you cannot compare a UK turbo against a STi, whether its jap or UK spec, trust me i have one of each at my door and the difference is night and day the Jap ones rule Are you offering a wee shot in the jap spec ?
jcscoob Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 WRX Spot lights, that light blue paint job, 17 inch PF7 wheels finished in a chrome colour and other stuff, oh yes, and a badge! My point exactly. And you forgot the X-amount of extra thousand price tag that could be spent on a few choice mods and a proper map, if i was spending X-amount of thousands it wouldn't be on a WR1 ! Ps, All scoobs rock. If it wasn't the old UK that most of us have owned and been totally inspired from we wouldn't be here today.
higgy Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Me to John... still to drive a descent bone shaker, but for now the bug rule's Fact- out of all the newage cars the bugeye is the lightest Oh and Collin if the classics are so good why do you have newage bits on your car....... Higgy
scoobyiain Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 How can a Newbie like me argue with a man with Subaru clothes. I stand corrected, my car is pants FACT
Gee Wr1 Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 I love this thread, lol BTW, what does a WR1 have that an STI doesn't ? (other than the color, a funnky'ish subaru map, and high price tag !!! ) Things a Wr1 has over a STI are: Lovely Ice blue paint Only 500 made 320hp 310 torque 1st UK model to have DCCD Prodrive springs Prodrive bump stop mod 18" PFF7's in exclusive Pewter colour (not 17" crome Welsho ) Charcoal colour interior, dash, seats, carpets (like Jap spec c) not all blue with silver dash in sti's. Mesh front grills (which you all fit to sti's) PIAA driving lights Special signed plaque, tax disc holder & keyring (keyring alone sells for over £100 ) Not just another blue & gold sti Worth every penny Negative comments like its just a over priced sti from none owners All in all a fantastic car in standard spec without needing to throw a load of cash at it to make it so
