Time for something different?

[ScoobyDoo69]

Hey guys,

As most of you know, I've got an 04 WRX. I've done odds and sods to it, but basically it just has an exhaust, some gauges and some ICE. I don't know if it's the time of year, or if I'm just wanting more out of the scoob, which I'll only get by modding it further. Or by getting an STi, I don't know.

Either way, make me some suggestions as to what I could buy as an alternative, I'll be 20 next week, and have 3 years NCB behind me. Budget, 8-9k I'd say. Any sort of car will do, has to be fast, has to be reasonable looking, easy to modify, and decent fun.

Cheers

You love scoobs. I'd just mod the WRX at this stage. They have good tuning potential and you wont need to spend too much to totaly melt yourself back into the seat

You'd get a nice evo 5 or average evo 6 for 9k, seems to tick all the boxes.

It doesn't tick the "Age 20" box very well......

Not really much different to a scoob and more than insurable with 3 years ncb.

Not much worse than an STI in that regard though.

I forgot to say, it HAS to make a nice noise. The evo fails in that dept

<standard take an HT lead out joke>


is the evo not considerably worse than the Sti. I can get ok quotes for an STI, the evo is still sky high even at 23 with 4 years NCB.

 

[ScoobyDoo69]

To be honest, I think the Evo would be a little too much in regards to the servicing required etc. The older models definitely do require the 4500mile services along with the small petrol tank could make it tedious.

Screwmodded 306 Dturbo or Remapped HDi might temp you tbh..

I vote - Keep your currenty scooby and go mod mad

Got a 306 dturbo actually that me and my bro share, need to screw mod it

Although I like the idea of modding my current scoob and enjoying doing so, I fear for killing my gearbox!
Just ran a quote through confused for the STi, £50 a month more than what I'm paying now. I'll have to ring my insurer and see what they can do.

Sorry but I don't find Evos to make a nice noise.

 

[loltim]

k, they do though

Impreza Sound..

Evo Sounds..

They both sound nice, but the Impreza sounds realy realy realy nice IMO

Skoda Fabia vRS? fun lil cars, strip it cage it and add some gas.

 

[Hunders]

Scoobs definitely sound awesome. There is nothing quite like it on the road.

Mum has one, nice car, but big step down. I'm thinking similar/better performance. Have I messed myself up here for choice by getting a scooby so early on in life?

 

[DreXeL]

Being the scoob lover that you are (and why not?), I would go for an STI if I were you
