Guys,

As always i've lost track of time and my MOT is due up tomorrow... any idea's of somewhere that does MOT's at the weekend and could potentially squeeze me in?

Cheers,

Chris

Looks a good buy for the money...

Only thing i find strange is i am from Clydebank and there isn't many Scoobs about yet i don't recognise this one... that said it could be that he has just moved etc etc, not saying there is anything dodgy just worth asking the history....

Have fun guys, looking forward to the write up..... in my plans for 2010, getting married next year......

Not best to comment cos i'm not a fan of stickers in general but defo not liking it mate, sorry!

Lovely car and cracking price! You could sell the exhaust, turbo's and Apexi PFC for not that far away from the £2k!

Take it you plan a single turbo conversion if your aiming for 400bhp?

RX7 FD is on the list of cars i will defo have at some point in my life!

Sounds interesting!

Totally missed this yest! Is it repeated, wouldn't mind sky+ it so i can flick through it at some point....

Well deserved on both counts, well done guys

I was a member of www.mr2oc.co.uk, was a pretty useful forum.

Need any more info geez a shout,

Craig.

Cheers Craig, joined up on Toyota Owners Club but just found some links to MR2OC as well so i'll have a wee scout about....

I'll keep your knowledge in mind if i have any questions!

Its really just a weekend / track toy, have my mrs clio diesel for the "essential" journeys....

I need a haircut, when are you free?

Anytime mate.. if you have the balls to let me near you with a pair of scissors... lol

I can take the abuse..... but 240bhp as standard through the rear wheels in a mid engined car is alright by my standards.....

Well, the impreza went about a month ago now and i've been looking at various new toys, 205 gti's, kit cars, TVR 350i's.... but, in the end i went back to a jap turbo..... went for a rev3 MR2 turbo.... picked it up today and have to say i'm loving it so far!!

Here it is!

Ridiculous, hope the police took the right action and nothing more comes of it!

Congrats!

I'm from the general Clydebank vicinity, never heard the name but sounds like the kind of guy i wouldn't be trying to get to know anyway!

As someone that has just sold a car privately 2 days ago i must admit the whole process worried me slightly, thankfully i got a really decent genuine guy and hopefully won't hear anything more of it.

Silly question but does he know where your mate actually lives (did he go to the house to see that car?) Bit late now but i arranged to meet somewhere neutral in both the times someone came to see the car.

Sorry i can't be of further help and i hope nothing comes of it, only advice i could give has already happened with contacting the police.

PMSL@Chris!!!

Well, the car has just left me......

You drive a mile to work?

Really?

Sounds like a lot of stress to me...

I know, what a lazy b eh! lol

When we bought the new house i thought i would walk but that extra 20 mins in bed gets me every time!!

I know, its strange, i used to do 25 a day for work and then a tonne of other running about but now i'm 1 mile from work and i generally use our other car (little clio diesel) for that.

Well folks, looks like its gone already!

Lol @ fastone.. ach i know, i'll miss it, and i'll say with 99% confidence that it won't be the last subaru i own in my lifetime.... but for now it has to go. Got a couple of parties interested so far.

you REALLY want to sell?

Did you see the thread from the last person who said that he was selling....

Biggest mistake of G.Mac's life!!!

Because HE! (and you if you sell your car) is a massive Gayer!!!!

Lol, on those grounds apparently i must be one then -

If you are looking for a project, I know someone selling one on Pistonheads.

Cheers for the link but think its prolly a wee bit above my tech knowledge, will defo do something similar in the future but should prolly start with something a bit simpler!

Try some rally raids by accident and realise yer crap and kill it in a ditch. Thats what I did. Least I dont need to sell it eh!

I am considering a BMW320i or maybe back to a mondeo(had one before). Nought to the Scooby standard. Nice and cheap to run! Well in comparison to the Impreza

Lol.. i am crap so i suppose thats a start!

I had a mondeo before, great big car but a bit uninspiring, v cheap to run and mine had every toy in the book, heated seats were brilliant this time last year!

Think a 205 mi16 conversion is the order of the day!

Think its gonna go.. been looking about for an alternative / pricing insurance and things and it makes sense, now i have to go through the hassle of selling, great fun!

Since moving house i'm only doing about 50 miles a month and really struggling to justify havin the impreza due to insurance and stuff... toying with the idea of punting it and picking up a track toy, 205 GTi or something as i'm keen to get into track days and don't think this car is an ideal first track toy....

Only thing is since buying it 6 months ago i've spent over £1000 on it including box rebuild and new clutch, seems a waste now..

Anyone done anything similar, any thoughts?

v power 93.9 at the shell on pollockshaws road all day today(24th oct)just before the tramway theatre

Cheers mate... just across from my house so i'll pop in for a tank after work!!
