Are there any traders on here offereing better discounts rather than joe bloggs punter walking in of the street or is that wishfull thinking.. lol

 

I'm sure if you played one dealer off against another you could knock the price down a bit. It would be nice if someone made a replica at half the cost

My pics don't do the Scott Lowe lip justice. It's looks much better in flesh and helps to get rid of the 'rounded' look at the front of the WRX wagon.

Each to their own, I suppose.

I have had a red classic four door, a blue classic two door with anthracite wheels, a blue bug eye four door with gold wheels & presently have a Graphite black blob eye wagon with silver wheels.

Mine is not quite standard but nothing too OTT,I am happy with the package and will not go back to the saloon layout.The car has had positive feedback at all the shows & events I do and the handling & power means it can hold it's own with standard STi's.

Fresh from the dealer - Unmolested.


After wheels,brakes & springs etc.


Head on.Not everyone likes the homemade WR1 type front grill,but I do & thats all that matters to me.

I think it was £23700 ish with PPP and metallic. I am sure you could shop around but it was a comp car so they get the discount and not me!

Eric,

Very nice as always, how different did you find the Godspeed conversion..?
Also, what spring kit and how much drop and £££..?

Jason

 

Went out in a mates 05 plate... not for me, sorry.

Thick end of 23k and TBH not the same as my old classic... and VERY small! compared to other options out there.

Thanks for all the support on this one guys, not being negative but for my needs other options albeit *used*

 

Cheers Jason & to answer your question - a lot. Better stopping,more feel,no fade & less unsprung weight than the standard setup.The complete kit was £850 plus delivery in the "group buy" & I sold my OE four pots & discs for £450 so the upgrade really only cost £400.


Plus the 335mm discs fill the space nicely under the PFF7's.
Standard Front.

Godspeed Front


Standard Rear


The rear keeps the standard calipers with 290mm discs & Kevlar pads.Group buy again £185 plus delivery.
Godspeed Rear


The springs are Prodrive spec Eibachs & I think the drop is about 25mm.I got Wilson's to supply & fit them & do the geometry to Prodrive spec for an all in price of £430.

Bought a new blue wagon last year - great laugh. Not the fastest maybe (ref fabia vrs keeping up), but get him to try it at 100-130 (in Germany, of course)...... + Screams away in 1st & 2nd.......

Had Merc & BMW - neither are as good as they used to be (Merc auto gearbox was a subtle as a hammer), 2001 BMW had a mind of its own and would rev up to 3000 rpm when supposedly on the overrun - not funny!

Found seats uncomfortable (too soft & no support), but fitted sti seats which are fantastic (fronts drop straight in in 20 mins but rears needs an upholsterer to recut sti saloon rear seat cover to fit wagon).

Also fitted sti wheels as they fill the arches and the gold suits the blue (yeah, I know..)

Both easy mods and reversible

Would post pic, but no idea how

hope that helps

I'd be interested to see the STi seats in your Wagon. E-mail me the pics if you like and I'll host them. (I'll do it sometime on Monday.......at work )

fake sti I am afraid,

And a history lesson (or rumour), this is the car that Subaru studied to make their flat four cars (it is flat four water cooled, FWD and develops 105hp with a top speed of 118mph - well it was 1966...)

I like your Wagon, v-nice.But who's is the other car, WOW, Fantastic.What else can you tell us about it, it looks very James Bondish.

 

Erm - its mine actually. Got carried away (you know how it is) and bought it


Its a Lancia (no jokes), 1800cc, this is a bit of an unusual model built by Zagato (did Astons too, hence the james Bond?). You know when the Subaru dealer says "don't lean on the bonnet, its aluminium"? Well this whole ruddy car is aluminium

It actually goes pretty well as it came with twin Weber 40s as standard.

Thanks for the compliment (to the car....)

Pete

 

Poffer, I really like the STI interior in the car - I kept looking out for a decent one when I had the 03 WRX wagon... Never saw a good one tho for the right money. Have you changed the carpets too?

That Lancia is truly stunning. Zagato is a legend...

Lovely cars you have there. Big thumbs up!

 

Thanks

As for the Wagon, I am afraid it still has Mr Subaru's original grey lino.
Cheers
Pete

 

Cheers Mark,

Really supprised to hear that the godspeed 335 is actually lighter than OEM..! Suppose it's the alloy bells..?

When did you buy them and I take it the price was for F+R..?

One other thing, as you have x drilled & grooved, have you had any probs with surface cracks..?

Thanks,
Jason

Godspeed one corner complete 27 kilos - OEM 29 kilos

When did you buy them and I take it the price was for F+R..?

End of April 2004.Group buys for these are always turning up.Front pair of red Brembo four pot calipers,335mm grooved & drilled discs & alloy bells,Godspeed alloy mounting brackets and all hardware,Ferodo DS2000 pads,pair of braided hoses £850.Rear only discs & pads £185.

One other thing, as you have x drilled & grooved, have you had any probs with surface cracks..?
No problems - touch wood. Ian does not recommend drilled discs if you do track days,but they are fine for road use.
