Default Evening all :)

Hello Scooby lovers!

Just signed up and thought it would be rude not to say hello

Thinking of adding another jap car to the drive way and got a subaru itch that needs scratching.

Off to do some research and admire some lovely looking cars.

Cheers
Steve

Cheers for the welcome

Currently drive this but spends most of it's time tucked away in the garage. The other half drives a Honda Civic so we do like our Jap cars

To be honest only looking around spending no more than 5K ( 6k max ) as I need something I can throw the dog into and still enjoy the drive. 280hp + would be good and being slighlty modified I wouldnt mind. FSH is a must though

Bit difficult fitting the mrs and the dog into the 350

Try and source an immaculate Blob/Hawk JDM WRX.

A 280bhp one of those will be as quick as a 330bhp STI with superior MPG/RC's and possibly spool.

are you wanting a wagon (estate)?

if so, have a look at the 'blobeye' shape, 2003-2005/6, not too old and still the cheaper tax and reliable 2.0 engine.

basic mods would be exhaust, filter and a remap. Probably between £700-£900 and should get 270-280 bhp

if you want a bit more power, get a 2nd hand vf35 turbo, pink injectors and an sti decat up pipe. that will cost an extra £400-£500 (plus fitting), but you should get about 330bhp IMO, deffo worth the extra £500

Thanks for the replies peeps. Wagon would be more practical having a dog but if the right saloon came up then I wouldnt say no. As long as I can hear hat typical Scooby exhaust noise I will be happy
