Hi all, just bought a 99 2.0 Sport, needed something to replace my rusty Puma and as I do a lot of round town/short trips for my job a turbo was out. I'm collecting it on Monday, then I have a week off to get to grips with it!

 

Welcome to the crazy house mate.

 

Thanks, can anyone point me in the direction of what tyres suit them best, I need 2 front asap, I tend to use Toyo T1-Rs

 

Welcome and congrats on your scoob

Plenty of sport owners on here - make yourself at home

 

I use Bridgestone Potenzas, good grip but lots of road noise.

 

Thanks again, it's a bit leggy at 130k but has full Scoob history (on to it's second service book) and bodywise certainly is immaculate.

 

I dont think that List-B tyres would be worthwhile on a Sport. Its only a 2 litre GL tarted up with a Turbo bumber and obsolete 15" wheels. The fuel economy might come as a nasty surprise too, because as well as being sluggish theyre not that much better than a turbocharged car when it comes to petrol...

 

I have Goodyear F1 's on my WRX and Goodyear NCT5's on my crappy old Peugeot - a good compromise between performance, longevity and price.

Tyres for PASSENGER CARs very cheap, bargains, have a look and save

Im using Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX & Yokohama Parada Spec 2 on my both sets of alloys

 

Im laughing at the foolish 'Sport' owner; who negged me for pointing out the Sports heritage (or lack of it: it was specified by the importers to cash in on the Turbos demand and it was extremely over-priced), disappointing performance and poor economy.

 

welcome to scoobynet!!!

yes you are very welcome, there is also a forum dedicated for impreza sports www.imprezasport.co.uk

wiley

 

Link don't work mate.

 

How do you find out who has negged you?

 

Hi and welcome.

If your puma was the 1.7 then the scoob will not exactly be exciting in comparison. Puma's handling is exceptional for FWD and great steering - certainly better than a sport and almost as much fun as a Turbo.

I speak from experince, had a Turbo and partner a Puma, she used to get up early an take the scoob (sometimes if i was off), the Puma never dissappointed as an alternative

Not knocking the sport really, the Puma is a great car

Enjoy your car and ask plenty of questions/get stuck in on here

 

I know the Puma is great but I was loosing the battle against the rust and it's boot was too small for my job. I hardly ever get the chance to do really 'spirited' driving any more so unfortunately practicality wins.

 

I cant, but why would anyone else neg me: what Ive said is accurate.

What does neg mean?

Welcome mate. And enjoy your car. It might sometimes seem like an Impreza Turbo only forum but all Scooby's are welcome.

Scooby is a Scooby in my book.

WELCOME!

 

Hi and welcome

 

Welcome to the asylum pal, everyones welcome.

 

welcome mate i have a sport i love it best car ive owned so far i dont know why some people slag them off just because its non-turbo scooby is still a scooby after all

 

But..... It has gone down on record as being the best handling standard-classic Subaru,

Still 4wd, but with an underpowered engine.

Ask anyone whos actually driven both.


Anyway, welcome to the 'Scooby'Net Forum.

 

Most people on here are good as gold. Some are complete *** who ls.
Imprezasport.net is ace.

Ive had a 1.6 and a sport and now have a Turbo, a sport and a MV pickup lol!

 

welcome.

 

Welcome to the 'mad house'.

I am a Sport owner too and I have always been welcomed as most if not all people on here like my Impreza Sport
