  1. I'm pretty sure this is my partners brothers old car. He had the car imported in new by Litchfield, had it for nearly 2 years and only did about 3k miles. Ended up trading it in a for a double cab I think there were only 2-3 white ones imported. Very nice car.
  2. The early WR Sports had the standard spoiler
  3. Yip I remember that night well That was the first and last time my car ever went near a multi storey carpark
  4. Dunk are the prices cheaper than Dave Featherstone from Demontweeks? He was offering 15% off. To give you an exampe he was doing the anti lift kit for £114
  5. Would look better if it continued past the back door. Not to my taste though.
  6. looks the same as any old MY08 with a sticker on the back saying 330s, and we all know it's not a good look.
  7. Must admit the bonnet did weigh a ton, but overall at the current money it isn't a bad buy. Where the wind deflectors are stuck on requires some paint and tidying up as well. Not sure about the box, and I'd also say that it was a UK block that had been stuck in so there is no way it was running 265bhp
  8. The WRX RA was nice, these don't have a roof vent, light weight bonnet or 5th injector like the WRX STi RA. The Silver STi with the DIY NOS was a no go, paint was terrible and the car probably wouldn't make it to the end of the road.
  9. Sure am, will make a nice little project car
  10. It is strange but that's just how the market dictates, you buy a Type UK and you get the full back up from Subaru no messing around asn as you say the Import is around £3.5k less new so this margin remains roughly the same untill you get down to cars that are a lot older then the margin decreases in proportion to the overall value of the car.
  11. Exactly, a proper 'Type UK' would fetch more. Still sweeties for a cracking car. I'd rather burn mine than sell it for under £13k.
  12. There are a couple of essentials to look for, make sure it has the bucket seats as the in-laws got the optional 'wide ar$e' Recaros which suck. Obviously the full Sat Nav but there was also an option on the suspension and you could get uprated sports suspension pack as well but this was not widely known. Oh and if you manage to find one with ceramic brakes you're laughing. Good luck, I'm sure you'll have a big cheesy grin after your first test drive.
  13. The RS4 is very special, spent last weekend driving the in-laws one. I love the start up as well, that V8 is awesome and the handling is ridiculous and theirs is the avant. They've also got the special paint option (metallic dark purple) which looks amazing. What I would say is that after a while you do not realise just how fast this car can go as it is effortless and I guess that is why I still love my MY07 STi as it gives me the kick in the a$$ that the RS4 doesn't. Never less I still enjoy driving the RS4 even if it's just on the odd occasion. I've got my radar still set on the RS5 but will have to get her in doors on side
  14. George you must be mental to let any of them wash your car. Most of these places use some sort of concentrated detergent so kiss goodbye to any wax that you had on the car. Marc
  15. Save your money Willie and go see AndyF, no sure if the EcuTek is available but Andy will tell you. 0-60 in 4.5, Prodrive love to talk BS. The 330s is quoted at 4.8 Real world would be 5-5.5s and your clutch aint going to last long trying to get that.
  16. Great job Mike, shocking service from the dealer though. PS watch that front plate as it's illegal so you may get pulled for it.
  17. Cal what are you going to use the car for, only track days or for everyday use as well?
  18. Playing a dangerous game Cal, next time make sure you're not on your own.
  19. Let me guess, was this rattle on an 06/07, mine rattles as well. Verdict from Subaru 'They all do that sir'
  20. Unfortunately the only good thing I have to say about T&C is Kev the Head Mechanic who is a top bloke and will bend over backwards to help you out. If he was the only one who worked on the cars it would be a better place, unfortunately the rest of the gang who support him are not in the same league.
  21. True but this is a Subaru and the MY06/07 only cost about £27k with PPP With the current market at rock bottom I'd be surprised to see these sell.
