Nah, I can never catch the fish mate, the UK cars are easy to catch cos they are so slow (and gay!)

PS: Im only joking lads, I am sure they are fast in their own special ways

P.S. In the main, EVO seem to have made an effort to ignore the JDM Imprezas. I know they reviewed the 22B (but that was technically available in the UK) and once a 2nd hand Type-R.

The other thing to remember is that how many of us have STANDARD Imprezas? Not many I'd wager. It's easy to forget that it is these standard cars which magazines test and I have to say, the Impreza in standard form is not a very good handling car! However, it can be transformed for very little money, something it would be nice for EVO to realise and perhaps comment on one day.

At least the article testing Iain Litchfield's Spec-C against the CSL and GT3 is a step in the right direction, long may it continue...

every scoob doesn't have to be fast, just so long as you like it and it is what you want

I think the RB5 has a WRX RA shell.

another point to make here is, if you buy a uk turbo, standard. you have all the fun, getting it to jap performance standards anyway! that for me is part of the excitement
