Nice to hear from you t5nyw. I’m aware of the RB5 in both the standard configuration and the WR version. What I’m talking about is a straight Prodrive WR Sport as that was how they were badged. As far as I’m aware no RB5 ever had any WR Sport livery attached  to the car. 

 whoops 

I bet that will be rare as probably added ￡6+K to the price

Welcome to the SIDC, you right the RB5 WR Sport is quite rare. My mate own one 15yrs ago an awesome car. Although i,ve seen a few at JDM day at castle Comb, Around March. we attend there as a club.

I bet your STi flies!!, proper wolf in sheep's clothing those fozzys, my Speedo is out ... 25 on clock is 21 on GPS, something else to sort 

most old speedos always showhigher han actual.

But i would imagine the 17" impreza wheels/tyres and incorrect rolling radius is partialy to blame. Maybe have impreza tyres on so eg. 40 profile and should be 50 profile closer to forester original wheels rolling radius.

@The Don has better technical info and more accurate.

How you doing t5nyw? Yeah just got my scooby from s&s last month, I’ve always wanted one for years, I wanted an Impreza WRX STI but then the WRX STI I’ve got is awesome, I love it, yeah mate, used to live in Kilmarnock but staying in Ayr now, what about you? Where are you from mate? It was my nephew Robbie that told me about the SIDC he knows the guy that runs it and does the photography. Yeah it’s good to be part of the forum. Yeah meet ups would be brilliant, talk about scoobys and other stuff.

All fine thanks, bar nearly 65y and 2 Scoobs  im in Hereford so 350 miles south.  So a bit of a trek for some neeps & tatties.

There is a big Scottish section in this site and run their own local meets and trackdays etc. Nice bunch f enthusiast

Little beads of rain adds to the shine ?

Agreed more pictures ?

My alpine many years ago said the same.  

Someone said it used to have the actual top  speed. But later a ridiculous one was put in to stop it being used for prosecution.

Thank you Tony ! the oil lines come with the kit (ive been doing some research)and the air in side of things is no longer under the manifold unless your talking the hot air which I have seen routed under the manifold.

Odd version i,d seen i think route for intercooler pipe!!!!! or old age moment

Your saying the clutch fluid needs to be replaced because it will be closer to the turbo?

yes, giving large can boil and peddle stops down

 Also would I need a out of tank fuel pump .

not sure but dont think so, athough upraded Pump and Pressure regulator as minimum. Injectors depending on IDC on remap. Also depnd on previous set up upgrades and new mods for power or  new Turbo etc.

Would a gt35r be laggy on a 2.35 or should I go for a gt30r ?

iffy 50/50, i`d prefer less lag over bhp pub figures, use bum dyno, so gt30. But better to ask on scoobynet, as more peeps have been down this route.
