October 30, 20169 yr Evening all! I have just sold an rs4 V8 to allow for my family wagon and am looking for an alternative and have always wanted an Impreza sti. I have about 8K to spend. What does everyone suggest. I do not want a classic to be honest also has to be an sti :). i look forward to this being my new forum

Miss the v8 but I missed the turbo even when I had it ☺️
October 30, 20169 yr Prices gone a bit silly should find a nice blobeye sti or hawk sti for that if you want some comfort try a spec d ! But my 8k would go on a gb270 wagon in grey
October 30, 20169 yr Author Prices gone a bit silly should find a nice blobeye sti or hawk sti for that if you want some comfort try a spec d ! But my 8k would go on a gb270 wagon in grey Thanks for the info. I must admit I did look at wagons but decided against it. I'm confused with all the engine talk. Are the 2.5's that bad? I am a mechanic but VAG and don't know much about these tbh. I have read that I should be going for a bug or blob eye and staying away from 2.5 hawkeye Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
October 30, 20169 yr People slate them , tidgy loves them , tho I think if you found a sti fully forged in budget its a bargain ! Was one earlier this year when I was looking for about 9 ! Blob sti is a nice car but currently commanding a high price yeah the gb270 is a wrx with extras but quite sort after
October 31, 20169 yr Welcome! Nice RS you had there. Thought about a Fozzy STI? Either way you should find something nice for the money?
October 31, 20169 yr welcome to the club.think its like any car the 2.5 is good if its been look't after,get a dog and have problems,the 2.5 hawk onward is more tax then the 2.L blobeye though,i have the hatch wrx 2.5 and i love it.you may find the blob and hawk are not as luxurious inside coming from the audi,hatch onwards are a bit better,hatch 330s has best interior in my opinion,but cost more. 8k,sould get a nice blob for that,9 10k a hawk.
October 31, 20169 yr Wotcha and welcome - I had no issues with the 2.5L model I had but some do suffer ringland failure. Forged pistons will ensure that does not happen

Interior will seems pretty cheap by comparison no mater which you go for. I went from and M3 to a hawk and you could tell it wasn't anywhere near the comfort level

November 2, 20169 yr I'm in the same predicament as you...I have about 9k to spend and found a hawk, but not built up here in the North East. Think there's a silver hawk (56 plate?) at a place called Tony Gilberts down south that's completely built. Think he was asking 10 large ones though...
