considering a terzo is just a repainted uk turbo then its not really that different, it's only the P1 that is mechanicaly allot different to its base car

 

22B, mechanically AND physically different to its base car. And it's a "limited edition"

 

That was a good read for the last half hour,I own a v4 type r and have never drove a p1 but when I see a p1 I look at it with the same enthusiasm as when I look at my own car!when I go for a B road blast over the lumps and bumps(Cusco coilovers) I wish I have something with a bit more of a uk suspension set up.
But then I come across a nice fresh/flat road and round abouts and I'm grinning from ear to ear again

 

back in the year 2000 if you wanted a uk Subaru you had the choice of a uk turbo 2000 or P1. I can't see how a comparison can be made between a type r and P1 only that they come from sti5 platform. its like trying to compare a jdm spec c with new age.
I bought a p1 because I wanted a uk car with warranty. would have loved a type r if they were readily available at the time.

good read though nearly as good as blues v villa

 

That about sums it up Sir everyone wanted a type r but couldn't get one so bought a watered down P1 instead.

 

Was for those who bottle buying an import

 

^^^^
are we still whinging about this..

get a life, or even better a P1

you know it makes sense, well don't ya

 

Proper P1 lol

 

yeah, p1 owners are still being delusional

 

It's Vee's car

Type Rs where readily available as there were quite a few people importing them new as the exchange rate was favorable then. My First Type R was imported brand new in December 1998, people in the know bought new Type R's

 

hey Banny miss your updates on the WOC, how's the mods on the car all done

 

You know I'm only pulling your leg Yep mods pretty much done, though I am contemplating re piping the wastegates and adjusting the meth map for 2.2 bar when the weather improves but see how things play out as it is for sale

 

^ I know, all good banter^
what you fancy after the WRX

 

always wanted a 3dr wasent bothered weather it was a p1 or the type r it was just a 3dr thing. i have a v5 type r sti v-limited, i stripped it to a bare shell and chucked a 54 plate blob sti at it. dash looms subframes gearbox engine servos brakes arms hubs the fecking lot. 2.1 stroker twin scroll bigport avcs heads with supertec guides valves stem seals with 3 angle cut valves/seats
all arches cut and abw arches fitted.
i have the best 3dr cos its mine and i built it, with tim farmers help lol.
always loved 3dr scoobs,
i find the p1 as a collectors car and a type r as drivers car, makes no difference too me now lol i got a newage 3dr lol.

 

Having driven a type R and owned a P1 for many years I can safely say I made the correct choice.
At the time it was my daily commuter and a pleasure to drive.
The Type R was a pain with such a short gearbox.
Ive said it before and I will say it again, Type R for the track, P1 for the roads.
I believe the P1 will be the more collectible in the future also, they are on the verge of jumping up in price much like the Escos did and similar rare models.

By the way, whilst I touch wood I'm on the original engine with 70k on the clock

 

 

Another deluded fool,,,,,, hahaha

hows it going bud? long time no speak.

 

Coilovers in the UK

 

EFA

 

 

Deluded is the way to go, avoids insanity and turning Japanesa

All good mate, you?

Always lurking

Incredible Price for P1
how much did this P1 make at auction today
http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/e...ru-impreza-p1/

 

It made a ridiculous price of £18600 on the hammer.
There really are some fools out there

 

Fantastic price for a uk 3 door, it just goes to show you people will pay big money for a uk car not a import. Keep it up.

 

Think I need to put a P1 badge on my type r, paint it mg blue and say it's had all the fancy bits from the import on, should fetch double then Lool

 

" people" ??? You mean people not in the know right

 

hahaha, who's the clown who got robbed?

 

P1 ftw 😎

 

watered wanna be type R
