ive covered about 90 mile's since wedensday night and i only had the stereo on for about 5 miles of that the rumble from the flat four added together with the Ptissssssssssssssh! is nicer than any stereo sound system ive ever fitted

yeah Stephen, i'll bring it along one time, i know what you mean about adding bit's to it but TBH i knew nothing about subaru's (still don't!) to me it was just a very, very clean example of what i was told is a rare model in the range of impreza's?

since i bought it though, ive noticed a few "RA" car's with the same extras, i'm guessing a few folk back in Japan asked for the electric pack upgrade?

i like the sound of the DV to, gonna get a Blitz make next week, it has a bailey's one just now but it's not loud enough

Nice car Ian.But i thought you will go for another bimmer

 

i spot a dump valve, is that the only engine modification?  what kind of power do these RA things kick out as standard?

Well come on then Ian, get the pics up!!

for a wkend toy the scooby would win it hands down for me, you already have a convertible why buy another for the wkend.
BUT
I can't see you behind the wheel of a scooby, in my mixed up mind I see people driving certain cars and you don't belong there.
the other thing you mentioned about needing a large boot for regular trips down south. I imagine after a few hrs of motorway in the scooby it'll feel like you've just done a european tour.
and will you use the scooby for what it's made for, no point in having a car like that and not giving it the beans at every opportunity

just my tuppence

I like the Integra Type R idea, an unassuming car that'll cruise all day long then bite your head off at the drop of a hat although if it was me I'd spend my money on a Lancia Delta Integrale or a nice wee Alfa Romeo(to hell with reliability)

good luck big chap with whatever you decide and I hope it works out

Scooby would be my pick for a weekend toy.

E36 vert is a cruiser not a B road blaster.
