Who here owns a Subaru?

[Vita]

No not yet. He said he'd send me them next week. Probably thinks I'm wasting his time by asking certain questions. But the guy checks out to be ok.

I'll have to see if it pans out in my favour and if potential viewers this weekend take my car.

If you're annoying the guy by being thorough, maybe he's not the right person to buy a car off.

As long as you're not asking him, "is dat a turbo m9" I'm sure it's all good haha.

Have you asked for a video of a cold start? Scoobs can suffer from piston slap so always worth hearing it (well, any car really) from cold to check it's not too bad.

 

[Vita]

Can't really tell well on a video. I'm sure in person I'll be able to tell tbh. It's worth a gander but I'm looking at others too.

Picked this up last Saturday. My first Subaru

It's a 2.0 Twinscroll Spec B 280PS (Import)








Thanks again to Kosta for giving me some advice

Nice, I picked up a UK Spec B a month or so back

That the 3.0? I was looking at one but I wanted a turbo and the tax is cheaper

Yeah, I looked at JDM cars but the reliance on Super/99RON put me off. Mine is a facelift, so tax is even more

That being said, I do enjoy the engine - my last 2 cards have both been turbo so nice to have NA for a change.

How mine sits just now - still undecided to sell or keep. Had it 3 years now

No problem, such a good looking car!

I love this thing

@LiamC, what would you get to replace it? Some STi twisted side skirts would look very nice on that!

@peterattheboro, looks great. Looks very understated in dark blue. What's the autobox like?

It's OK. Lovely and smooth when on a gentle drive. Takes a second to kick down when you floor it but to be honest I don't do that often as I'm trying to keep the mpg up.

Been using manual shifting when I want a bit of fun

Not actually sure - I just purchased a pugeot 107 (boke) to use over winter so i may just keep the subaru to enjoy during summer

STI skirts are on the forever ending 'to do' list

Guys, was having a clear out of a shed and found a few Subaru bits. Do you have any idea on prices for them and where do you sell stuff nowadays?

When i had my STi i got a lot of stuff through scoobynet, is that still a good place? I'd ideally not want to start messing with facebook market place as it seems to attract people which are just a huge pain to deal with but if that's the best place i may have to.

Got this cusco front brace for a classic

This for a newage, the ends were pink originally but looked a bit tatty so i painted it black ages ago

Then this whiteline adjustable RARB which i bought for my 2005 widetrack but never fitted it. Can i measure anywhere on the bar to ascertain if its a 22 or 24mm? Also is it a different part for the widetrack cars or would it fit any newage?

Oh and also a full set of 5x114 STi wheels with *slightly* worn tyres! As you can see the tyres are trash, maybe 2 have 1 more track day left, the alloys themselves would probably need a refurb if they were a main set for someone.

Any pointers appreciated

Haha yep well spotted, they go with this. 1998 1275 MPI, i think 43,000 on the clock. Just need to find time to get it sorted out

 

[vanpeebles]

That looks very similar to my spi 95 mayfair

It's a '98 STI Type-RA V-Limited. Owned it for about 18 months.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did this set you back? Have always loved the look of these and it looks in great condition.
