Ordered a new 7.5 Golf R lease a few months back but as the waiting grew longer I caved and decided to give my wife the Golf R (Will get a thread up when it arrives which should be this week or next at the latest) and I nipped down to Eastwood's Subaru and picked this up for a bit of a laugh for 12 months or so.

Great customer service from Eastwood's, wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

Enjoy.

You’re wild @ChrisL

Its an itch I've always wanted to scratch and this came up in the right colour and price. Warranty is nice to have also. If it needs built I've worked a few things into the warranty so I'm very happy.

Lovely lovely car @ChrisL , please take me out for a scalp in it!

I thought the Megane suited you better to be honest :p

Very nice. Good to see one on here, I don’t know why there isn’t more of them.

Thanks mate. Yes it's been well cared for and serviced regularly. It's pot luck with these engines. Warranty has all been worked out so I'm not bothered, if it breaks it'll be fixed.

It'll be left pretty much at current power with the prodrive enhancement. Probably around 320 given the pack.

Going to get a rear diffuser, air box resonator delete, maybe a hayward and scott cat back later on. Going to upgrade the sat nav unit also as it's poor.

Love it!! Wouldn’t be a fan of black wheels on a black car though..

Same as me, I wanted silver but I was talked round to give the black look a good, like my old hemi. Ill see what its like, the wheels can always be changed.

very nice Chris, also wouldn't be a fan of black wheels, hate them on anything. Rest of the plans sound good!

Looks very aggressive at present but needs the lip kit fitted and lowered badly. Oh and spaced!

Yes it's one of the reasons I didn't up the budget for a new shape one. The new shape seats are woeful for an sti model. Plus this one has the nice flared arches etc.

Looking forward to a run in it, looks a decent example. Never forseen the day you’d have black wheels lol, but I think it will suit the car once the kit and springs go on.
