  1. 1 of only 300..........with the smart nav option . there were probably 10,000 wrx's sold, but only 300 could justify the extra £1,500 for sat nav. now they are using that as a selling point????? it looks a decent car and not a bad price
  2. eek, I hope you don't regret that decision........
  3. hi mate welcome to the club
  4. hi mate welcome to the club the hawkeye is one of the best looking scoobies. the mileage is fine, there are loads with over 100k, even 150k on the clock. my blob wrx is 105k and now running 330bhp. there are horror stories about failing 2.5 engines, take these with a pinch of salt. the sti has the highest number of failed engines, the wrx only has a small % of fails. but the one you are looking at has done over 100k, so if it was going to fail I think it would have done by now ;) 106k is high, but it has probably spent most of it's life sat at 80mph on the motorway. would you rather buy one with 30k that has been a weekend toy? driven hard every weekend? my last blob had 52k , FSH and felt a good car, my new one has 105k, no receipt's (the garage selling it had done every service and the owner was loaded and no expense spared) and feels like new compared to the old one don't just buy it cos it sounds good, or just because it has FSH, buy on condition and how it feels/drives don't rush into buying the first one you see
  5. They are a fast Car as standard, so don't worry about more bhp yet. Look at better brakes and suspension first
  6. I've fitted a VF35, pinks, a full 3" decat downpipe system, bigger top mount, custom remap why not look at one that's already modded? as long as you know the owner has looked after it and done mod's sensibly, then it will be cheaper than buying the car and then the bit's extra. there are usually decent cars on pistonheads or scoobynet
  7. even from the factory it cost £1.5k extra for PPP, but it was approved for the warranty. if you paid £300 for sports cat and £550 for a remap, you got better results, but warranty was void the PPP map was a generic map, designed for cars to get better performance over a wide range of variables for each car. if you get a custom remap, it is for your car and your mods
  8. who did you go with? I wrote my last blob off (265bhp), bought a new one the week after and said it was standard, was quoted £950, I told them I had been buying parts to upgrade last one to 330bhp but hadn't got round to fitting them, so how much will insurance be if I fit them to new one and get 330bhp? £800!!!!
  9. bargain I've still not fitted my rally armour flaps yet keep a look out for me on Saturday on the ukscoobies stand :D
  10. IMO PPP isn't worth the difference for the performance gain. even with PPP they will benefit from a custom remap. so all the you are paying extra for is a 10 year old sports cat.... definitely wait for one in your preferred colour
  11. seen that clown one before and it's great. I know what I'm doing for Halloween now.......
  12. that's brilliant gambit, he proper **** himself
  13. lol, no prob's :D
  14. Matt, are you going to the ModNat's?
  15. I was meaning the northbound people ;) people from Leeds, Hull, Lincoln, Wakefield, etc., can all meet there without going out of their way
  16. that looks amazing, love it B)
  17. :lol:
  18. black cars look good with red flaps I'm not too keen on the silver grilles on the front, I prefer the subtle look
  19. we used to meet up at ferrybridge services, so people coming from all directions could meet up and convoy
  20. If you are not on a stand, make sure you all turn up together, there are usually a few rows of cars in the middle that aren't on stands. So they tell you to park up side by side in the order you go in. There is room to park in LWV off the main road before you pay to go on the field, so if you get split up, wait there and go in together. There is usually a food van on the field, or its just a short walk to get something from a LWV shop.
  21. Hi mate Welcome to the club Great looking car and a fantastic spec sheet
  22. that's what I've got fitted B)
  23. Search on YouTube, hale and pace !Removed! car
