Cheers Ian

I am warming to the idea of a classic STi Wagon

Just got to look at insurance for an import as that may stop play, anybody got any recommemdations for insurance companies to use that dont hang up or laugh when you mention Subaru, JDM and STI in the same sentence

Right, so who likes the sound of my Psudeo STi 8 two very careful owners ...a good price for fellow wagoners

 

the cheaper alternative is to speak to granby and follow his lead down the harvey\bob rawl route...his wagon doesn’t exactly hang about

 

Hi all

I'm new and yes I am a wagon owner only a few mods at the moment

 

Hi I am a noob Wagon owner, Well due to pick it up this week.

my insurance is currently with elephant, but they are giving me grief over my new beast, stating it cant be an import as it is 2.5. I know the car is from Cyprus, but what do I tell the Insurance Co.

Also anyone recommend an alarm?

 

Hi im new too its nice to see alot of wagon owners about. quite a few of my mates have gone with toad alarms they seem alright they havn't had any problems

 

try A Plan, look in the insurance section...not sure about an alarm but i'm sure A Plan will have a list

hello btw

ian

 

Admiral were the cheapest for me and they didn't want a tracker fitted.

 

Thanks to you all for your help.

I think elephant are Admiral , they are just having trouble finding my model I think , THey have a 2.6 O6 listed but UK only, Guess I just tell em that?

I will let you know when I pick the Wagon up and post some pics

Cheers

Hello!
Im new and also a wagon owner. Had my scooby about 5-6 months now and am totally in love! Im a girl and so not very up on anything at all car-related but trying to slowly get to grips with it all. Im likely to ask a LOT of questions!

Hi Clare

Welcome to wagon ownership, I am also a lady wagon owner and don't understand alot of the technical stuff but am learning all the time, the wagon people seem very nice so I'm sure they won't mind you asking questions.

What wagon have you got? Year/colour/import or uk turbo.

It would be good to see pictures as well.

 

Thing is, struggling on the old financials now we just bought the new house, so she wants the money to go into new carpets, kitchen, bathroom, patio etc

We need to free up a bit of capital in this one so we got some money for tuning ... seriously thinking about a bugeye wagon (silver or black) and the money saved in getting the WRX instead of the STI will fund some serious power, carbon bonnet and nice Rays Rims

Following in the true stealth path

So, NBO may last time you see the DIY STi8 to make way for the 'Stealth Bug' project. Lots of my STI bits will be stripped off after NBO and up for grabs, then I'll be scouring for a donor Bug and some modding 'Bargains'

 

Welcome to the Wagon Club

 

Group welcome to all the wagon newbs that just found this thread

##2006 YEAR OF THE WAGON##

 

Ask away, we are a friendly bunch

 

Yes, the female wagon force is strong

I have to fight the wife for the keys, she ahs put more miles on it than me

 

Hi Smiles : I don't know anybody that has done this and the biggest part of my experience is on Classics so without having the two cars along side each other and going over them carefully I have no idea what all the pitfalls might be. However there would be quite a lot of work and it would not be a cheap option. I wonder if it would not be better to spend the money on the WRX engine to end up with the same power or even more or are you looking for something else ?

 

Calling Pt Officer Steve "Smiler" Miles....stop.....been on secret mission abroad ref "abort strike seven"....stop.... now need help with Squadron mission featuring your good self and Communications Officer Pippa Miles.......stop......story almost complete......stop.........need Squadron nickname for said Communications Officer........stop.......awaiting your urgent reply before releasing story in Squadron code........stop.........may arrive on doorstep marked "SECRET MISSION - NOT TO BE OPENED BY UNAUTHORISED PERSONNEL.........stop.............communication ends..........stop.......Krud out.........

 

Hi Harvey,

Thanks for the response ... I have now actually shelved the idea as too much of a headache

So looking at selling the Blob ang getting either a Bug WRX wagon to tune or go for a Classic Sti wagon.

A little bird tells me you have an STi Wagon for sale Need to get rid og my Blob first though.

My concerns of an STi import wagon are the running and maintenance costs as opposed to those of a newer 02 bug for example as it needs to be a daily runner and will be our only car. Also need to look at insurance, most companies I have spoken to hang up when you mention STi and import, can anyone siggest a good import insurer

Cheers

 

November Bravo 'Krud' ... this is 'Smiler'...stop...Communications Officer nickname to be 'Ruby'... Stop...to read...Communications Officer Pippa "Ruby" Miles...stop...Photos of newly earned Wagon Sqn colours to follow.. stop....*LATEST NEWS*...possible transfer from blob flight to bug or STi Classic flight ...Smiler Out.

 

Wellcome to all the new wagon Owners who have found this Thread

Its good to see that wagon ownership has really taken off and we have our own little community forming

sort of like the Brotherhood in Big Brother but without the freaks ,lGays etc :

we are a friiendly bunch and we have our

First National Wagon Meet at the NBO on sunday 18 th June at our Wagon Corner from what Ive heard the stand is going to be awesom .

On the Saturday night we have the first

Wagon Ball and Banquet at our wagon Acomodation although we are still looking for a decent eating place

Any locals can recomend anyware decent Harvey ? SCD Simon ?

as we will have 14 hungry wagoners

so any of the newbys that have just signed in

can you come along to it as it would be nice to link all the wagon owners together from different parts of the UK .

 

yep things are coming together nicely for the Wagon Corner, we have bunting on order and have now *2* Gazebos, our large white one - http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs...oductId=258307 and a green/white stripey one. we are working on the flgas and banners ... working out a bit costly though

Anyway we can grab some of the independant wagons that have signed up for the NBO thread but are not down for wagon corners. Didnt go last year so not sure what the format is like, do you want me to PM/ mail them all to ask if the would like to come on Wagon Corner stand. just thinking how is best to grab all the wagons for the stand.

Also for planning the wagon parking, what sort of area do we have for it, are we looking at a square pitch - two or three rows of wagons, or a long thing one with all wagons lined up, or a corner display, have all the models and colours lined up

 

I have f**ked up...I'm going to egypt 10.06 and not gonna be back until early 17.06. i'm trying to find out what time I'll be back in the country so can decide if i can make it; sorry!

 

You could eat in The Scotch Corner Hotel. Also there is a popular resteraunt a few hundred yards away, The Vintage, so no drink driving. It may be booked up already.
I can't join you guys for dinner as I am pre booked but I will have a beer late afternoon if someone confirms when you have arrived.

 

First Granby .... Wagon Casaulties .... MEDIC!!!!

 

I know steve, I can't believe i've done this...the real irony is that the holiday was being booked for me whilst i was chatting to Harvey about NBO...doh

Its not a definite I can't go yet, depends when my flight arrives...will confirm later today I hope.

 

well barring miracles looks like I am going to have to miss out, my flight gets back into the UK 1:30am 18.06...I'm such a fek-wit sometimes, steve please can you cancel my reservation and apologies to all concerned.

 

Classic STi Wagon.... as rare as rocking horse ****

But boy 'o' boy.... they shift.

I have a 98 STi Wagon (with a facelift to a newer model.) In hind sight a slightly newer model would have been better (say a 99/00) then you can just Ecutek it, rather than plug in a new ECU. I've bought an Apexi Power commander but not fitted it yet. (I'm still abroad!) But bang per buck... they actually cheaper than the saloon... Ssshhh... keep it quiet

A mate of mine has a std uk wagon but with some tweaks (suspension, geometry etc.) He says my car is "different"...

I love it

 

how do you post a pic
