i currently have a 02 bugeye and feel the need to part with it and purchase a harder rawer car. i am slightly reluctant to get rid of the trusty bugly as it has been a great alrounder, however i feel it is time to change gear.
if life was simple then i would sell my car within the next couple of weeks and buy my mates p1 which is a gem, but somehow i think fate may take a different course. in view of this i have compiled a short list of replacements.

1. bugeye sti with/without ppp.
2 rb5 prodrive
3 uk classic
4 classic sti
5 keep my current mota

bearing in mind the only option is a subaru, what would you change to.
all comments are welcome as i value the expertise, honesty and level headidness of all scoobynetters.

 

what about a P1 from somwhere else.

Ive got a bug eye 2002, and i am looking at a 2004 sti wr1 if its in your budget check one out, if you can live with that colour !

 

Personally I would be looking to buy the newest I could afford, whilst also ensuring the car had already had the bulk of its depreciation.......

 

Gangsta smurf has been looking to sell a very special WR1 on here for a while. If he still has it its worth a look.

Double post

 

Hmm, how's about this one?

If your whole aim is raw, then a classic STi Type R is probably best, the newer cars are less raw than the classics. If you're just after something quicker and more fun, and you don't want to tune your WRX (tweaked brakes, suspension, exhaust and remap would make it a lot quicker and more "raw"), then the suggestions of WR1 etc would probably be better

 

Would you pay an extra £10k for a WR1 over a Type R?

(try the WR1 against the P1)



P.S. Won't work in Firefox, needs Internet Explorer.

 

saw this 4 sale a while ago it looks great.
anybody rate the 02sti?

 

Classic STI bob, not based on anything other than I love em.

The classic's really do give you a kick in the pants when driven enthusiatically, nothing against newer models but they are not as aggressive, yep as fast argumentally but not as RAW.

 

How about a JDM 2003 WRX? DAvid at API might have one - with ECUtek it will be around 265bhp and you get the HID blobeye headlamps!

 

remember he has a budget of 10-12k, i am assuming that is total so WR1 etc is way out of reach,

If it were me and I couldnt buy my mates awesome p1 I really would hang tight bob and just get another when the chance presents itself, they are cheap enough now..... failing that RB5 - HUBBA HUBBA

Just make sure you get your mates p1 and stop wasting peeps time on here....

 

why does it have to be a subaru?

 

Its a chavvy manc thing you wouldnt understand

 

If it didn't have to be. Then it would be an EVO6 for me. Raw, lOOks to drewl over and performance to match.

 

same as that, if I had my cash out of the scooby for any reason then I would have to look a bit further afield

 

Ive owned them all P1's wrx's, the lot, you need an evo 6 mate, sorry.

 

Classic Sti all the way mate... dont get much more bang for your buck

 

I'd get a classic STi mate....
