To be honest, I think you'd be disappointed with the N/A Supra after you're Impreza Turbo... and I think you'd enjoy the EVO more than you Impreza... Oh no, wait, thats me?!

As someone has said, drive them for a decent length of time and see what you prefer.. as the EVO will be VERY stiff with the Teins as its already more 'raw' than an Impreza as standard.

I personally like the look of the EVO, the spec seems reasonable too.. and the wheels are awesome!!


Cheers,
Grant

I read the Evo IV's were pretty raw and quicker than later models. Not keen on that ones styling though.

As for the Supra - only TT will do!

late evo V or VI then possibly but not too sure on that mate,

Could possibly be a bit of a money pit if the extra's start to go wrong, not playing a part in the modding, but if the guy who fitted the bombs to the plane did the work on the car stay well clear

If I did get it I suppose I could always get the V's bumper as it'll fit straight on. Its a lot more disposable than my Impreza as its a left hooker. I'm just ater something different really and until I drive something alse I wont really know.

Mick, any modified car can give up at any point, it's just the gamble you take. The biggest thing I'll miss about the Scoob is the sound but who knows, I might be back fairly soon (pretty much guarenteed I will be though )

Cheers,

Paul

I don't know Chris, the guy's based at RAF Waddington. My mate knows more about RAF Aircraft. Just had a look on the webside and 56 Sqn aren't there at the moment, although they may have been onder2:

i dont think an evo 5 bumper will fit a 4

the 5 is wider than the 4, bigger arches, wider track

the 5/6 is a rawer car then the 4 due to the suspention set up as for quicker, there all the same engines its only the drivetrain gearing thats change so ive been told

but id put it between the evo and the scoob not that other lump

you could always put a rs evo 4 bumper back on that would tidy it up a lot

If I were you Id keep the subaru but if I had to pick between the supra and the evo Id go evo cause theres nothing you can really do to a N/A supra and turbos swaps cost a lot.

Are you mad..?

That Evo looks like it fell off the Barryboys website IMHO. No disrespect to the current owner, it's done to his taste I suppose.

Stick with what you already have.
