TURBOEDD

I thought that, its like any car then look after it and all will be well. I like big turbo's and big power, and could be tempted, my s3 if for sale so the money from that could fund some serious mods, but like you say it will break and i cant be bothered with that. I've wanted a type r for ages and this is the first time i've been in the position to get one. Hopefully i find a nice example for a decent price. cheers

all going well and assuming the boy is honest, the car should be sound, and if i get it for decent money then i can spend some money on it fixing it and maybe even have a poject on my hands. I assume these type r are hard work to keep good? I had a uk turbo 2000 and it cst me a fortune to keep serviced, and in petrol, hopefully the type r aint to different to that.

thanks for the advice, i'll put that to him and see where we go from there, hopefully all goes well and i can add to my growing collection of cars. cheers

The boy was looking for about £4500, i said it was abit to rich, would it be an insult to offer £3ooo, as for condition he said it was near mint, with no rust, dents and the engine and box were fine. I like the car and if i can get it for near £3000 i'd be happy. I assume viewing is essential? cheers

I was thinking along those lines. I have been looking at a 97 type r, its only done 45k miles but it has no tax, MOT no service history, it needs a new rear diff and underseals, how much should i expect to pay for an example like this? it seems like a good one. cheers

Im wanting to know the going rate for a good one of these, mods or no mods. It would be a late v4 perf a v5-6 cheers eddie

i know stewart cracking guy certainly knows a thing or two, im putting the feelers out to find out what is possible, i spoke with stewart about importing a impreza type r but just didnt have the cash at that time. cheers for the replies

were would be best to look and make some enquires? im looking for something cheap and to use as a project car.well thats the plan

im thinking of buying a crashed impreza from japan, very minor damage or an engine failure.im wanting to know where to look for such a thing? also can anyone tell me the pros and cons of what im thinking of doing? cheers eddie

had the car over there yesterday, running rough, all sorted now, maf was the problem. nice and cheap, and easily sorted. some good advice to. cheers again

cheers for the replies, hopefully i'll get a cheap quote from someone.

im needing to renew my insurance this month and i got a quote from my insurer which was more than i paid last year som im going to shop about. im looking for some recommendations. cheers eddie

cheers for the reply,i'll get hunting for 2 pots and take it from there, hopefully it aint to difficult a job to do.

i have a classic turbo 2000, and my back brakes need changing. discs and pads. the calipers look really rusty is it possible to change from the standard calipers to 2 pots from an STI? if so how difficult will it be and will i have to modify anything?

cheers for that.what kind of price we looking at for a decent set?

cheers very much for the replys, if i can find sti struts with springs in good condition i'll go for them then get the geometory done. does anyone know where to get a decent set? cheers again

to be honest im not sure what to go for i just thought that coilovers were the best option.

what would you suggest? a set of shocks and springs from an sti? would this be any better than what i have?

what are the best coilovers for a turbo 2000, im on a budget so nothing to expensive. also how easy are they to fit? cheers eddie

nice 1 at least i kno it can be changed now, it was vandalised by a passer by. thank you for the reply

is it possible to change the rear quarter pannel on my MY00 turbo 2000? if so how much for the pannel and where from? cheers eddie

does anyone have the telephone number for hypertech? roughly how much does it cost for a full geometry set up?

HI Stewart that would be spot on mate not seen one of these in the flesh, my dad is taking my scoob off my hands and then i'll be in a position to get a type r. when i get a type r i'd just send it up to greers and tell them to do the lot, and get it mapped before i drive it properly. roughly how much should i be looking to pay for the car plus import charges and so on? hopefully get a v5-6 with the best grade possible, i've got a decent budget cheers

ideally i'd love to reach 350 and tweek the handeling. would i be better off having one imported or should i look for one that has already been imported? stewart i've already spoken to yourself about gettin a 2dr imported, i have only just got my scoob back from the body shop, maybe 4 weeks ago thats why i havent been in contact about this. my scoob still aint fixed properly and is going back in for more work, hopefully get a 2dr asap

Im thinking of getting the type r but i want to know a few things. what are the major problems with these cars?engine, diff, gearbox? im looking at the v5-v6 and also what are the best mods to do to it, to make it more reliable and for more power? ive got a decent budget for the car and the mods so fire away. cheers eddie
