That was playing kind of beast at there❤
20years back I could have picked up a 22B for 31K & I was like nah too much…. now I'm kicking myself hard.
Be very careful if you are thinking of buying a WRX STI of the final version. The 2.5 engine is fragile in standard form. The bores go oval and if that happens it’s a full rebuild. I had a 2014 car. It was a nice car but not relaxing to drive. It had constant torque steer on a straight road so driving long distances was tiring and the fuel consumption was eye watering driving it hard. Like 6mpg on a racetrack. Road tax was high, £550 last time I had the car 4 years ago. The suspension was pretty hard as well. Great fun if you drove it like you stole it but it’s a heavy car and can quickly become a handful. It was always at the back of mind that if I lost control it would hurt a lot as the car so quickly picked up speed. I definitely wouldn’t have another one. There’s much better high performance cars out there. Hence why you very rarely see many of the last versions of the car.
The car vertical or carfax don't mean anything if the owner doesn't report the accident.
I am by no means an Evo fan but by all means if ANY car from the scandi flick deserves to be restored is that Evo…. THAT car deserves to live. Get to it!!!! Nooooooooooooow.
Like Hammond implied, it’s nothing without its natural competition – the Evo. Also, stripping Martin of its Martini livery made it bog standard and harder to spot when it gets nicked.
Have you guys thought of putting up a long gorm exit ofnprojects when they're completed? It'd be nice to sit and watch them in one hit.
Meh…..after its all done it will still be a suebarooo
Loved the video!
A bit as heavy guys
Should have gone with anything other than the standard blue. British racing green would have looked great
