Re: '05 wrx sti

And redone...come on...if you had kids you'd buy a lotus carlton or a million other cars first? I'd take an evo over a sccob any day, and only then if it was a 5.

Re: '05 wrx sti

Aaaaanyway, 9.8x OMFG how fast is that. Basically 0-148mph in 10 seconds. That's Carrera GT territory isn't it? Difference being the Carrera GT is actually drivable in town/general!? Well I'm presuming of course as I've never actually driven either ;) I think andy forrester drives to events but not...

Re: '05 wrx sti

luthor1 is correct a 30bhp increase would not require pump no fast car is that close to full fuelling capacity standard. is clark motorspots car faster than andy forrests? if so that is very impressive coz his one is a monster i saw it run sub 10s at the pod the other week check out www.andyforrestp...

Re: '05 wrx sti

JDM means Japaneese Domestic Market an import in other words i dont dissagree with you review of the uk version but in order to be fair we must compare import with import as jap versions are usualy higher spec and in this case a much more focused car. P1 rebuild at 60k never heard that before rx7 ma...

Re: '05 wrx sti

I also read a comment about imprezas being fragile on this thread. unfortunatly there are too many old ones about in the wrong hands being run on 95 ron suffering years of neglect that give them a bad name when in reality if looked after they are very reliable and take alot of abuse. The rally winn...

Re: '05 wrx sti

The whole discussion is based on the fact that a scooby aint faster than a 2. Its quite a bit faster to 60 but the quarter times for a standard scooby is 0.2 seconds faster than a standard 220bhp rev2 (depending who's driving of course) That makes them pretty slow once they are off the line conside...

Re: '05 wrx sti

Fair point :D i dont have a lot of knolege of uk imprezas i think a jdm mr2 and jdm impreza is a fair comparrison. one thing you cant do is take the t bar of and listen to the great engine note in a scooby :D

both very different cars and good at what they do :D

Re: '05 wrx sti

sorry, but most of that is non-sense. 300bhp scoob will beat a 300bhp MR2 any day on any test other than top speed. MR2 will hit around 165, scoob will hit around 158. The scoob will hit 60/100 and 1/4 mile quicker too. Oh, and the 2000 "classic" scooby weighs the same as the MR2. Anyone ...

Re: Rev3 Tubby Vs Impreza

Fair enough there not everyones cup of tea and at high speeds the mr2 is the better car due to design. but that said i think imprezas are much more fun until you reach those high speeds :D

Re: Rev3 Tubby Vs Impreza

I have said twice i am talking classic and import and the uk cars are completely different much like mr2s. I think we will have to agree to differ as i dont beleive a mild mr2 will keep up with a scoob sti. Jap performance plucked those figures from reality but as lauren said 0/60 doesnt mean to muc...

Re: Rev3 Tubby Vs Impreza

i feel as though i can give a fairly unbiased opinion as at the moment i own both an imported impreza WRX (1995 Mreg) and a rev3 MR2 turbo (1995 Nreg), im my case the impreza feels faster in every sense, straight line acceleration and corners etc. my impreza is bog standard except for a decat and b...

Re: Rev3 Tubby Vs Impreza

I understand about how 0/60 times are made but still maintain imprezas are very capable but probably in the wrong place to discuss this as we all have mr2s and will be bias tawords them i even read someone claiming to match a noble m12 on here. we can talk it to death with stories of beating impreza...

Re: Rev3 Tubby Vs Impreza

ive got a 94 classic WRX, didnt realise it was that fast to 60, it does feel quick but wow! Its not, i don't agree with any of the above figures. Oh, cept the type r, i think that was round about that figure. AFAIK the only standard prezza's that can do a sub 5 are the 22b, the type r, the wr1 and ...

Weigh about same as a mr2 but have 4wd and loads of grip a car not to be underestimated. that said not as tunable as a 2 high up. a standard sti wil pul a sub 5 0/60 and grip like a rally car racing a uk is not a fair test as they are i highly diluted version of the jap versions.
