just wondering when the time comes, if anyone knows how much im going to have to expect to pay for the conversion, and if it will be worth it or quicker n cheaper to just go out and buy a turbo model?

 

£7000 / 1 new engine had a word at st ledger and thats wot it works out at

 

bloody hell i can buy a decent sti for that price think ill leave it as a sport then, just do it up a bit

 

I've heard it's not worth doing ,cheaper and better in long run,just going out and buying a turbo'd model....

 

aye well when im past the 21 year old mark (one week to go ) ill look into getting another turbo oh and another years no claims, my first turbo scooby cost me £2400 in insurance so i wont be getting one till that price drops by about a grand

 

Yup, as with most modifying, better to just move on to the better model than try to make a silk purse out of something that isn't. Not much more than £7k (9 actually) will buy you my old car, or see you squarely in Bugeye WRX territory these days.

 

if your going to buy a turbo,,,dont go for the lesser model,,,get a sti

stu

 

I understand where you're coming from, but did you ever (try) follow my humble WRX ? Many an STi was left wanting

 

i do actually like the bug eyes if they have the black headlights, for sum reason they make all the difference, i really would love to get my hands on the uk300 maybe one day

 

Bug eyes are horrid but 1 of your members has a nice white 1 just got that jap stylee sh1te all over

 

You mean the Subaru Impreza 'We'll never do an STi for the UK market so make do with this. It's got 300 in the name, but nowt like under the bonnet'

Must admit to an unreasonable dislike of this particular 'special'

I can't put my finger on why, though it could well be the spoiler, or Subaru's marketing approach, but even before I was into Scoobs I hated the bloody things.

Just my humble opinion, no offence to any owners.

Nice wheels though.

(flamesuit zipped )

 

Jap stylee on a Jap car... oh the horror

I may be a little biased

 

Good job Mark hasn't been seen for a while...

 

well if i didnt get one of them it would have to be the RB5 but there dunt seem to be many about for sale dont know if thats just me looking in wrong place but are they any more expensive to insure than say an import STi?? or are they more into the P1 or 22B territory insurance wise??

 

yes not an evo

 

ooooooooow less of that upsetting the stick
