So i have been offered a wrx ra which looks exactly like my old v3 sti which i still have a soft spot for, would you swap a newage wrx blug cat c for a well looked after classic ra thats been modded tastefully? Opinions please pics to follow...

 

keep the one u have m8

 

Like the wheels on your blob.

 

keep the blob

 

i could be wrong here but looking at the depth of the tyres and the small gap between the arces and wheels, its gunna be a hard, bumpy ride.

on the classic thst is

 

keep the blob also

 

Thing is i want to get away from the cat c and a few nigglys on it are annoyin me at the moment.. I miss my old sti and this is not far off it.. Plus in the deal i am getting 421 manifold and turbo up pipe to put on...

 

I did mention this, its on eibachs but he assured me the ride wasnt that hard.. I test drove an evo 4 shortly before i got the blug and walked away because it was a bonecrusher ..

 

yeh but there ould be niggles on that one. also its an older car so u gotta think about general wear and tear. love is in the eyes of the beholder but i know what i would do......

thers no give what so ever on them tyres m8

 

I'm a Classic lover and a Gold Wheel hater .... but, I would stick with what you have.

 

Yes wear and tear but it has less miles on than mine but we all know that imports could be dodgy mileage.. Its the fact mine was a cat c write off and this is hpi clear that leaning mw towards it.. Tried to sell my car now a few times at considerably less than what i paid for a couple of months ago and no one wants to know. Dont the ra's have short ratio gearbox etc this is what i miss..

 

o i see what u mean about it being a cat c. was the work done propperly?
i have had this b4 with a car i had. i knew that there was some bits not right and it bugged me so i got rid for what i thought was a good deal. now i regret doing it and made a big loss.

but as far as u know that car mite not be square, being an import and that. theres some good tips on the MRT Performace website about buying used classics and what to look for on imports.

 

Seen your car in Cammell Lairds, looks nice though I,d say go for the classic.

 

Good spot you work there aswel? Atleast theres one vote for the classic! ha
Im leaning towards it now if my car doesnt sell on ebay, auction ends in ten mins...

 

let us know how u get on with ebay

 

Bids at 3600 with a reserve of 4400 and 50 watchers.. Dont think it will go .

 

Yes I work at Lairds as a mechanical fitter. My car is the silver classic. I,ve had 4 classics over the last 9 years. I,m looking to get a nice Sti Version 6 Type R Ltd next.

 

Ye nice one.. Next week is me last week at lairds like going back to some proper welding on proper pay! in better conditions you"ll know what i mean.

Car didnt sell so looks like i will be the owner of a modded ra tomorrow.

 

Blob blob blob!!

 

Made my mind up now mate ra it is... Wheres the classic love on here

 

So why is the guy trading in a decent car for a CAT C car ?

Not that the blue one isnt nice,it is,but why ?

 

Lad apparantly wants a newage project next..

 

The RA is a completly different car to your blob. The Blob is a better car to live with on a daily basis

 

Hmm,just double check the engine etc before you do the deal.
Hope it works out for ya

 

I have a classic mate but your blob is really nice. You're mad! But whatever floats your boat!

 

It's not a blob it's a bug!! A bug with nearly a 100k miles on it ! Will take his car for a good drive if it's not upto scratch I won't be taking it..

 

Keep the current Impreza...

 

i recomend taking a wuppy cushion to sit on. its gunna get bumpy

 

Classic's rock......no amount of money would encourage me to change mine

 

Haha this is the one thing that's putting me off, if I got it and I wanted a softer ride would it be easier swapping the springs or buying tyres?? Hmm
