I spent 6.5hrs on the M1 and M25 today....numbing [emoji45] One 5 mile tail back was because an E-Type had broken down in the hard shoulder and everyone was slowing down to have a look ffs

That's a great link [emoji3] It doesn't have to be a classic...but I don't want a bug or a 2.5 for the obvious reasons [emoji16] I like the Type 25 spec!

My WRX hasn't got folding mirrors and rear wiper and tbh I don't miss them :) I would miss not having a stereo with USB or a turbo :D Budget isn't fixed, between 8 and 15 but I would go above that for the right car. I just don't want to buy something so special I'm paranoid about taking it out (22b)

Yea minefield lol Don't think I want a RA...been 30 years since I manually wound a window [emoji39]

Ah yea lol..,it's was quite tricky finding a virgin WRX. Still I'll be in no rush so could spend an age searching [emoji4] What's the diff between RA and R? And what is the diff between those and a standard STI?

no probs. I've been considering putting a STI spoiler on my car and fitting blue UK300 carpets, seats etc Thats very handy especially with as you have a scoob...sure you'll keep him busy knocking out the usual dents and repairing stone chips lol

That's annoying. Out of interest these guys have had a fair bit of UK300 bits and bobs....didnt see any spoilers last time I plodded through the site but might be worth having a chat to them if you're still interested in getting one... http://www.japperformanceparts.co.uk

Very nice [emoji3]

Pete I think auto correct stuffed up your suggestion. Spec C? What's so special about them?

Looking to learn here...what's the prob with the spoiler? Isn't that a standard type r one?

Did you take the wife's car in on Saturday? If so what was the result?

That's erie...I watched that film last night!

Welcome mate...they're mostly blue lol...the challenge is spotting a different colour [emoji39]

I'm doing 100 miles a day with work at the moment. I didnt want to buy a car and lose a lot of money due to depreciation and I also wanted something comfy for doing those sort of miles so I went with a standard blob WRX. I pleased with my choice and am really enjoying Scoobie ownership again. My mind has started to wonder towards the end of the year when I won't be doing the miles and therefore could get something a little rarer and a bit more interesting. I've only ever owned newage but I've always loved the classic shape. I'm thinking perhaps I should go for a P1 or RB5. I love the P1 shape and colour and always remember the Top Gear Tiff review :D Is there anything else I should consider? Type R or RA? I'm not really feeling the love for an import but should I? I've counted out a 22b just because of the purchase price for a good one and the fact that I'd feel guilty driving it!

The names, bug, blob and hawk are nick names to describe the headlights. Yours are round and look like a bug eye...a fly or something. Mine are..err...well blobby. Bug Blob Hawk

I believe the only differences between Saloon and wagon is the rear of the car. So Engine, bonnet, doors etc are all the same. GX just doesn't have the scoop. So yours will be a sheep in wolfs clothing lol. I'd recommend Matty. He's a breaker who ships. You could give him a call and tell him you have a bug wagon in 01g silver (by the look of it?) and ask him what he's got. He's shipped a few things for me in the past (I am in Surrey too). Heres a blob he has. I don't think this will fit yours but you can see the prices and the kind of thing he does. http://bbs.scoobynet.com/full-cars-breaking-for-spares-438/1009295-blobeye-04-sti-breaking-01g-silver-brembos-6speed-sti-styling-and-interior-more.html MB developments Unit 3 Addenbrook street Darlaston Ws10 8hj call or tx for quicker reply 07785942237 p.s.

Congrats mate. I had a GX a few years ago. Great car. Tricky one that mate. You could go buying K&N panel filter and do a remap but don't think it would be worth it in my opinion. You'll get into lots of money for little gain. Think I'd focus on lightening the car, try a higher octane like v power and improving the ride and stopping so you can go faster round the corners. GX has 16" wheels if I remember - you could get 2nd hand 17's. Also change the GX bonnet for a standard WRX/STI Alloy one.

Ah right...didn't think it sounded right. First accident you have you'll get nabbed. Interesting car though :)

What's he saying about the insurance? 'You can insure as a non turbo as it's an import'

I'm not going to search the web for you mate :D but here's one I saw recently. I'm sure I saw one on here and also on ebay. http://bbs.scoobynet.com/subaru-parts-451/1002677-s600bym-reg-for-sale.html

What are you looking for mate? I quite frequently see subaru related reg numbers coming up on the Scoobie forum classifieds if that's any help.

I do mostly motorway so I get 30-34mpg in a standard 2004 blob...depending how I drive :)

Perhaps you need to switch cars with her every month :) It does surprise me they said that...but then again I've never had a car I didn't take over 3k frequently. Even my Pug309D work horse went over that every time I took it out.

Download tapatalk and use that mate...makes it very easy :)
