Gee Wr1

As a long term member of both forums i've read through this topic and laughed at some posts and thought ffs at others. This place has been a ghost town for a few years now and your wondering how to revive it? Well your certainly going about it the wrong way! Any young owners would be put of by just by reading this thread, you have them labelled as chav's and boyracers ok there is some lol but your forgetting about the young enthusiasts who are going to be put of reading the likes of this topic and go join .net instead. You lot are so wrong saying .net is all youngsters far from it it has a wide age range. PMSL at monsterenergys post above moaning .net is to busy and to many posts/topics, which would you rather a thriving moving forum or a stagnant forum where there's hardly any new topics in a week and when there is nobody replies ? I'm not defending .net either, there's stuff i don't like/agree with on there as well like the recent goings on and the likes of George and others leaving the forum, its not perfect but hey nothing is. But forum time for me is usually when i get in from work and sit down with a coffee to relax and there's stuff to read on .net as sidc has bugger all going on. I'll still continue to check in here like i always have done and hopefully it might pick up again but i think its hey day may have passed as so many of the folk from that time have moved on and no longer on the scene. I'll always have fond memorise of Grant & Imy's mad runs and even of Gumball dressed in his race suit for one lol.Btw any of you still in touch with Grant pass on my best to him as last i heard he had some health problems, a true gent and made us welcome on the first run we went on when we didn't know anyone. Oh and just to bring up something again changing to the "internatioal" rather than "impreza" drivers club was stupid whoever came up with that idea hang your head and those who backed it shame on you lol it lost the club its identity

There never seams much to post about on here anymore i'm pretty much down to a weekly visit now, it used to be my 1st port of call when i got home and was having a coffee. Even a weekly visit there doesn't seem to much going on between visits it really doesn't encourage me to pay to be a member any more. Sorry but just giving a honest answer, its a shame really as it used to be great back in the day.

12k for a GB270 which is more or less a wrx with ppp is WAY over priced imo. A absolutely mint Wr1 with 21k miles just went for 11k on the owners club, it was priced for quick sale but shows what you can get for that kinda money just now and you get the lovely 2.0l engine in a wr1.

Duncan's really good he's done a few wr1's with happy results. If your cars standard at the moment then you'll notice a huge difference 220-230 mark to 275-280 around a 1/4 extra power than you have now.

Only seen the name mentioned in either/both Jap Performace & Banzai mags think they advertise in them and they had a pretty awesome NSX featured in one of the mags.

Stick with your blob it has the true scoob engine a nice revvy 2.0l Oh and we all know blobs are the best lookers too

Aye Dave we'll be out and about as usual. We were talking about it tonight with J's brother who's doing it, stages are- 1. Daviot 2. Ord Hill (2 runs back to back through stage) 3. Rogie (extended to 18 miles) 4. Kiltarlity (new stage never been used) 5.Glen Urquart (If thats how you spell it lol) We'll be 4x4 it in J's orange freelander not the scoobs.

Lewis i know Dave and he'll know i'm not having a go at him personally but he will also know he's guilty of putting .net down on a number of occasions.

Dave stop putting .net down it's a hell of a lot better than whats left of sidc, i'm on both so are a lot of folk. This place is a ghost town now! I only bother checking in maybe once a week and nothing has moved in that week your lucky if there's been a couple of posts let alone any new topics! Not putting sidc down as i've been on here for years but i wish yourself and others would stop looking down on .net! its that kinda snobbish attitude that has put a lot of folk of sidc!

I used to have one on my old bug wrx & i think its the best sounding system you can have on a scoob, the burble is so deep and growls on full throttle, the note gives you little earrgasms Looks great as well. . . .But it is really loud!!!! Almost to loud at times ( i never got the bung when i bought car) Its very boomy in the car at cruising speeds & can give you a headache. Anyone it the back gets it worse and can't hear people in the front, if you have kids or a dog they are gonna find it to much. Try hear it from inside a car and try to think can you live with that all the time which will be hard as you're gonna be sitting there thinking this sounds amazing i gotta have one lol

Haven't used it for ages myself but what i mind is if you tick the pic you want to post then go to bottom of the page there's a button saying something like generate image tags, hit that & it'll go to another page giving 4 different tags & explains what each tag is for. Find the one that says forums and right click & copy the tag then paste it in your post. Thats the way i used to do it as i always forgot which tag was which.

The Wr1 exhaust system is the same as the ppp system fitted to newage sti's. Sounds like you've been sold something else probably of a classic. There are so many things on the likes of ebay that say wr1 & then have pics of something of a classic.

Yeah last Sunday was not stop & chat weather lol. Aye could be up for that Dave & Yep i would invite Connor & a few other boys along too, Connor is a really nice bloke & his site is really good thats why i'm never really on here anymore & not renewed my membership.

Lol should be SIDC big gay power rangers group Haven't been out for a proper run in a long time in the car.

Hi there, Looking for ideas of what shapes of bike racks will fit the rear hatch of a classic wagon, not roof racks thanks. Have seen plenty but not sure if some will fit with the 2 spoilers on the wagon. Any pics you have would be appreciated. Cheers.
