Sold my Impreza, it goes away on friday night, i like it ... a lot   but i miss having some comfort's/extra's all my impreza has is A/C and elec window's. i'll deffo miss the power though and i don't see me ever having a car to match the performance? 

what next??

BMW or another Jap performer??

desicion's, desicions  

so for now i'll be driving my E30 cabby full time (untill it sell's to?) i'll also miss out on Loudoun this weekend with my local car club  as i don't think my E30 is any where near being good enough to be a show car?

Sold it alreadies, bloody hell.

Take the E30, i would.

jesus that was a short ownership period!  car that good eh?

how about a legacy, do they not the use the same engines as the impreza but a bit more upmarket? (i.e. more creature comforts)

roughly how much are you looking to spend on its replacement?

how about a toyota supra?  (3.0 twin-turbo.... mmmm nice....)

you guy's are kinda in the right area ... ive already worked out what i'll be driving next & ive already picked out "thee very car" i'll be going to see it on monday and all going as well as the seller say's i'll be have'n it

it's still Jap, it's a twin turbo (supra is to small inside) it's a 310BHP,4 wheel drive saloon and it's not a subaru  ..Oh and to make it even harder to guess, there are only 3 or 4 of this version in the UK. the very car i'm going to see was on ebay a few week's ago but the seller wouldn't sell it to the buyer as the buyer was a dealer and the seller didn't want to see or hear of it for sale with a big mark up on the price.

i'll let you have a guess at what it is before i tell ya'll

my impreza was kinda "head hunted" from me  the soon to be new owner was so imprezta with it he just kept offering me cash, i wasn't looking to sell it just yet but it just wasn't grabbing me the way most of my past car's have.

i was offered one of them Lexus's... it was in need of the electronic motor's that adjust the steering coloum OMG what an expensive part!

good guess Stephen but ...  nop!

 i wish .. just out my reach! ... by about £11K  .. but you are getting warm

Boyd, what price .. roughly?

A Nissan Figaro (in pink, especially for Pitsy  )

what .. c'mon Stephen have another guess  .. "A HONDA!!!!" .. nop

when i tell you/show you the picture of the car in question, some may know what they are and some may not? .. but you will all know the more suttle version  

here is another clue: ive owned one of this type of car in the past, but not the version i'm looking at   (i owned the suttle version)

mitsibushi galant vr4 ?

not quite, it is a VR4 but not just any old VR4 it's a ..................

SUPER VR4

ive wanted one of these for over 5 yrs, they are very, very hard car's to get a hold of. normal VR4's are all over ebay but a "SUPER" edition is a very rare breed

Oh yeah

 WELL DONE STEPHEN

here is thee car i'll hopely own next week .. if i buy it i'm ripping them sticker's of the quarter panel's, before i even drive it home!

i'm not a massive fan of the rear wing but it is part of the car's spec.

nero, ive been a member of CVR4 since 2003  .. over 4000 post's i go by the name of scottish ian on it as i was the only scottish person on it when it first started up, i was also the scottish event's orginiser for 2 yr's

bitchin'

i love that spoiler

like i say's it was on ebay, the car is in wishaw, ive spoke to the owner and he's away till monday so i'll have to wait till then  

the good stuff: 1998, 2.5 twin turbo, 4WD, anti YAW, traction control, stability control, 41K mile's (63K kms) 1 UK owner and he has only covered 60 mile's in it over the past 18 mth's! just had all belt's changed and major service and will be sold with full MOT & Tax. it's a very hard car to price but i can only try him for what i think it's worth.

i took one of these round castle combe a few yrs back, 2cm of standing water on the whole track and the car would not step out (well not to much) the anti YAW control on mitsubishi's is an amazing bit of kit. the power delivery in these VR4's is every bit as smooth as any other car out there, not as quick as my impreza but it wouldn't take long for a VR4 to pass a scooby at silly speed's and quite a bit more reliabile than a scooby 

i'll tell more once either ive seen it or i own it

Alpina did a limited edition 360hp twin turbo saloon 18 years ago.  It probably won't compete with the Mitz on a hill climb but it will wipe any Jap car on a high speed run and the five occupants could still hold a conversation at 180mph.

lol @chas....is your dad also bigger than his dad too?

Carbon Black M5 with H & S Cans ?????

there are 2 main edition's of VR4, 1 is a S-type and one a V-type, one has 260 BHP and the other 280 BHP both can be in either a saloon or estate, Super VR4's have exclusive touche's such as: body kit, wheel's, exhaust, red interiour and Recaro sport's seating (all though the same seat's could be added to any VR4 when ordering new) as far as the club for VR4's can tell there are less than 5 super editions in the UK. only 500 where ever built

some folk say the intake on a Super VR4 is larger to allow a better fuel/air mix and that they are up on BHP than a standard 280 BHP car?? but some folk think the engine power is just the same as a standard VR4?

I used to have a 3000GT... Lots of fun!!! 4WD etc etc....

I hope you get it! And enjoy it as well!!!

Stephen, there are a couple of cars spoiling this picture!

Nice find Ian.

That will be scarily quick. 

What's the power split/torque ratio between front and rear.  It looks like the engine is mounted transversely.

I think I have seen that out and about in the east end of town, ties in with it being in Wishaw, it is the no. plate too that looks familiar.  Are you getting the plate also.  Non dating Northern Irish plate, keeps folk guessing how old it is.

Andrew

Andrew it's not as quick as my impreza "that realy is stupidly & scarily quick"

the car was first reg'd in ireland so it's kinda it's origonal number. the selles has say's he has only covered 60 mile's in it in the past 18+mth's and it's had no mot or tax on it for the past 16 mths, the seller (i could name him but i'd rather not .. he's a very well know buisness man in europe and the UK) .. he has a private collection of rare Bently's, Porches & the VR4 .. he say's the VR4 blow's the door's off most of his collection!

VR4 drive train: they are built to be 50/50 but on dyno run's the show to be more like 55% to the rear and 45% to the front.

 should have it tonight or tomorrow

i went and seen it on sunday night, straight after Loudoun ... i wanted it there and then but he wouldn't sell it until he had seen to getting the car:all new brake's & pad's, 100% check from Mitsubishi, MOT, Tax, Service then he was putting in to Hannah's for a full check over of the alarm and imob .. he wanted all that work carried out due to the car being sat parked for 13 mth's in his rather large heated garage. he was also looking for quit a big price for the car but after a little bit of to's & froe's we decided to meet in the middle of his price and my price, at the end of the day the price is very fair as the work he is having done will be at least £600, ive been doing my homework and it look's very much that this is the only saloon version of SUPER VR4 in the UK, there are 3/4 Estate (Legnum) version's  also the price we settled on is apparently a little under the value.

i'll post better pic's of it (if i'm allowed) once i have it.

roughly how much are you looking to spend on its replacement?

how about a toyota supra?  (3.0 twin-turbo.... mmmm nice....)

Didn't even notice there were cars in this pic

3.2 EVO in E30 M3 Cabrio

this is the new motor, got it on friday.

i took these pick's when i got it home ive taken of the silly sticker's  .. and that's about it (for now)
