my wreck isn’t standard though is it dumb dumbs

 

That gtr must be immense mate 👌

 

I have a Spec C type RA and Evo IX GT.

The Evo does feel better built but not by much. Doesn't help maybe that the Spec C has no deadening so will always feel a bit tinny. The GT has the RS transmission but does have some comfort features. It's an easier drive on a journey. The 5th in the Evo is noticeably taller than the 6th in the Impreza.

The Evo will be coming home shortly with a 562/525 @4400 engine and it still would not suprise me that a DSG VAG will still be quicker

But then I've driven both a Nissan GTR and Porsche 997 Turbo on one of those experience days. The GTR was clearly faster but I'm more likely to swap my JDM cars for the 997. Just felt like it wanted to kill you so that's all the reason I need to want it

 

gtr , best described as mental , i’ve never been in something so quick , i’ve never launched it as you don’t need to ,as it’s quick enough any way , you just floor it no lag and it goes 😂😂 off the lights to sensible legal speeds nothing gets close

 

whats the maintenance on it like? Servicing? Discs and pads? Etc... a lot more than a Subaru or just a bit more?

 

I don't think general servicing is that bad but things like tyres/brakes would soon start adding up. Aren't the discs and pads around £2k

 

the pads are 210£ for the front as they are big , that’s ebc yellowstuff , it’s 6 pot front , the discs are around 500 £ to 550£ area , they seem to last , tyres are ££ as they are run flats 255 by 20 front , 285 by 20 rears , i think some run 305 or so rears , tyre wear is quicker due to the power and acceleration wear , tracking once a year is a must , oil and filter change about the same £ as a scooby , it has carbon fibre under trays for aero dynamics so doing jobs can take longer , in theory 2 oil changes each year , in practice once a year or every 6 k miles or so , no regrets on buying it , and it’s quite nice driving an auto v manual all the time , they have paddle shifts but a human is also slower than an auto box , but it’s good for holding gears and making more noise , mines a jdm and the previous owner put 20 k £ into the car 👍mpg is around 22.5 to 24 being sensible , but who wants to do that 😁 just need to try and keep my licence , a light tickle puts you into loosing licence very quickly ☹️

 

different spoiler now , put a standard one on

 

 

a thing of beauty mate 👍👍

 

cheers both of them are a bit of an animal 😂😂

 

I'm a big fan of the older Monaros and Aussie V8s in general. A mate used to have a 60's Holden Ute.

 

So ex safety car?

 

pace car for the v8 racing series ,called britcar , it was built as a racing ute , roll cage fire extinguisher system plus a few other racing mods , then imported to the uk as a pace car , now decaled , and carpets put back in , so quite a rare one , number 51 of 52 , and breathed on plus modded by HSV ,who are holdens tuning company , 391 bhp at the rear wheels 👍😁

 

I went from a Classic T 2000 to a M3 (F80), and whilst the M3 if faster in almost every aspect, potentially more fuel efficient, more comfortable, with some of the mod cons, its the Impreza which put the biggest smile on my face. It was just more engaging and more of an experience. The biggest miss is that lag and then boom, party time. Part of me wishes I'd of kept it instead of selling it for just above scrap value.
