prob the 22B owners taking it easy

We wanted one but couldnt find one under 22k

for a 9-10yr old car

My old one...

rev'd to 8250rpm
bigger turbo (same as 22B)
forged internals
blueprinted engine
adjustable centre diff
short gearing
light weight shell

thats the standard spec

Andy's is an STi III i think (same or older version of the engine above). Ours was an STi IV Type R

Ooooooooo see, very touchy indeed

You remind me, well, of me with my feelings for Corsas, when i was 19 years of age.......

Upon 1st glance, those shape scoobies all look alike.

At first glance, a VXR doesn't look anything like any other model

AK - £22k, whats so special about the 22B's then? Are they the WRX homoglamation (?sp) models? Never really understood (obviously fat arches, bigger engine, 3 door etc)... Until recently, i only thought that shape had 3 dr models in the P1 and 22B livery.

2dr.... 22b, typeR and P1

P1 is just a STi TypeR V altered for UK. I really dont understand why folk same P1's are better than typeR's etc

Its had features removed!

22B - its just rare as rocking horse shit. Think only 400 UK versions made. I'll find a link

Ver II

But now has bigger pistons, well it will do in about 2 hours once i've picked it up.
I think mines a similar spec to Adams/ Fees (?) just without the DCCD and its 4 doors not 2

Looks like "another astra"

Are you sure you're comparing "standard" imprezas? i.e. 1.6's, 2.0? I think you'll find the differences are noticable instantly.

V2 has slightly less power, and a chunck of torque missing.... it lighter than the later ones though

the one i'd buy

if i could

WRX STI Spec C Type RA-R
At the end of October, 300 2007MY WRX STI Spec C Type RA-Rs were open for ordering. These cars are based on the WRX STI Spec C. The wheels are changed for 18 inch, STI-branded, Enkei-made, white wheels. The engine has been blueprinted and balanced. It produces 320ps of power. The suspension is stock full of the latest STI parts from the STI catalogue. The front brakes are 6-piston brembo brakes. The brakes are made so that they change from silver to gold when heated from usage. The rotors are slotted. The 2nd R in "RA-R" is stated by an STI engineer to mean "Radical"

I like both. Haven't driven either so can only go off looks really in which case I prefer the look of the Evo.

But that White Type RA on the last page is bloody nice.

Im afraid you are. Same attitude, different car

1.6 and 2.0 NA are not imprezas, they are peices of metal with a fat hamster under the bonnet. You say Impreza, you think 2.0 Turbo.

Interesting how it uses the same turbo, yet the power fades off quicker than the Type R's, where-as the Type R's pull to the limiter... I can understand more torque and power at a lower RPM with the 22B (due to 200cc extra).

Must be in the handling, maybe the wheel track is slightly wider than the other models?

Same goes for astras, the only difference being a centre-exit exhaust and a turbo

22B does have a wider track yes. Differant inlets, pistons, gear boxes etcthroughout the range too.

Yes, you are im afraid. You've taken over the role.

No, you think astra and you think 1.6, or diesel a-b runaround. You don't think of VXR

Also, same parts? Dials? Suspension? Brakes? Wheels? Seats, engine, Bumpers? Only minor parts of a car there then

Also, astra has x3 2.0 16v turbo engine ranges... Oh, yeah, the exhaust, well, you get 1 point for that one at least.....

Wonder why they changed the inlet, pistons, gearbox (closer ratio than the WRX, P1 and Type R?), yet use the same turbo on the R, hence not needing the uprated internals?

Some Imprezas have differant shells, although not noticable to the eye. IE - Fixed rear seat etc on some models.

But all your point and more apply to imprezas. You're just confirming what I've said, cheers

Points?

I'm definately not "king Daimo"

Hey man, i didn't make the King Daimo, you remember that, you made me king. I am your king, now bow before me ya manchester peasant

My points and more? have you missed reading the other replies on this post with regards to what people would think when you say astra and scooby?

Blimey loaf, for someone thats into scoobies and isn't the argumentive like me, your replying with an awful lot of arguement, and not very many facts at all (unlike other post contributors.......)....

Nope, your not like me at all

Well, actually no, I find out facts at least before i type

Much to the fact, my username is VXR, and my name is Damien, so

And my plate reads D4MO (ie Damo....)

What are you on about

You said every scooby looks the same. I said every astra looks the same.

In reality, the only initial feature that seems different on the astra is the centra-exit exhaust (I got a "point" for that one, remember?")

What "facts" do you want to know?

Still not sure what "facts" you're referring to? What is it that i've got wrong? and more importantly if i'm going to admit i've been wrong on something then maybe you should?
