Sounds like you have a good record to state a realistic case, even if it is for your wifes car only. Good luck

Keep it polite but persistant, if no joy from your local contacts go for the regional expaling how happy you are with the Subaru product and ownership but dissappointed at the response to a potentially fatal failure etc etc oh also - wotcha and welcome - keep us posted of progress

Here is the link Savage mentioned - found by Scooby Pete http://www.subaru-impreza.de/SonderserienENG.htm and the Catalunya itself http://www.subaru-impreza.de/SonderserienENG.htm#cat

Wotcha and welcome

or an NSX - wonder if it had the flat 12 formula1 engine installed that wasnt powerful enough for the F1 cars of the time??

Wotcha and welcome - nice Bug you have there

it may not be too expensive - probably just needs a bit of tweaking - just a guess but it might be the metal hoop it latches to has moved slightly not allowing the levers to be released, that is just a couple of bolts

Wotcha and welcome

Wotcha and welcome - love that colour we have had another member recently join with a hawk in that colour he is looking at changing the wheels, yours shows what it would look like with the Prodrive option - nice

lovely stuff - what I like about these type of motors are a lot of them have specs that can be copied so you can have the same performance trim and handling etc albeit without the badge but all the benefits

Hi some photos would probably help with the sale - particularly given the description good luck

Wotcha and welcome Nick - you should get a serious piece of kit for that money potentially a widetrack STI blobeye - but that may mean waiting for the right one to come along, the one thing I will say is be prepared to travel for the right car. Those cars both look tidy on the face of it Prodrive packs vary dependant on model but can involve a remap, back box, high flow filter, possibly a high flow fuel pump, uprated antiroll bars. They were dealer options in UK but you can buy the packs yourself to modify an original and then get a remap a couple of widetracks as examples - the black one would have some wiggle room on cost http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-SUBARU-IMPREZA-STi-v9-Spec-DCCD-WIDETRACK-www-powerplay-uk-com-/231437348430?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item35e2bdae4e http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-SUBARU-IMPREZA-STI-PPP-305bhp-WIDETRACK-AMAZING-CONDITION-/111539135670?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item19f84024b6 and if you are going to Cheshire motors you'll get to check this one out as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-Subaru-Impreza-2-0-WRX-STI-Type-UK-WIDETRACK-DCCD-STAGE-1-333-BHP-/251687698252?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a99c17f4c

I cannot believe you started a thread and didn't have photos ready tsk tsk

echo the others replace the motor is cheapest option - then you could rebuild your own as a project getting some experience on the way ;)

Wotcha and welcome Karl - lovely motor that - great colour, I agree with the wheel change, those don't look to fill the arches very well - feel free to get involved with the rest of the forum and keep a camera handy for any work you do complete, we like a photo here :D

cant go wrong with either car - but the Scooby will be an easier day to day car as Stants recommended get a test drive in both and make your choice based on that

Wotcha and welcome - quite a few members have second sets of wheels with winter tyres - depends if you have the storage for them, where it is a legal requirement in Germany for cars to be fitted with winter tyres, you can source 16inch steel wheels and winter hoops for about £500 shipped. For that money and to avoid accidental damage to my alloys I would get some. I didnt get on with all season tyres as I never found them good enough in either winter or summer scenario - too much of a compromise between the two - but then again that will always be subject to individual driving style

Wotcha and welcome - awesome 21st birthday pressie - Stants covered the advice nothing to add there, lets see some photos when you get it ;)

Wotcha and welcome - lovely motor you have there, sounds like a little cash investment will sort it for a fair few years to come

Have a great one Andy!!

Thanks to the dealer for breaking down the pricing - appreciate you taking the time to do that - you may want to stick a name on next time (even if it is an alias ) as it makes it a little less formal. What I would say - sitting on the proverbial fence - a quote is a quote but the choice where to spend your money is ultimately yours but I am always interested in hearing about service provided by any supplier - main dealer or otherwise so please keep us informed of your outcome :)

well the bar has been set quite high for subarus on the mountain, make sure you have an onboard camera with you - and keep it rubber side down ;)

Wotcha and welcome!!

go for an earlier model and put a bit more aside for tyres ;) we get a discount at Adrian Flux, as a forum member try them for a quote

Wotcha and welcome!!
