Skyline isnt an option - too expensive to run two

Fiesta - never

Do you think its worth paying a bit extra for an R over an RA... The wheelbase is the same, the RA is lighter from the factory i think...

alzza - We had a '98 STi IV TypeR, not a newage fatty

TypeR looks muck better too, but that isnt a priority.

Best car I've ever owned, end of. I've owned a classic too. They're definitely different, and my newage was higher powered. Would have one again if it wasn't for the amount of petrol it guzzled. Used to cost me £120 in fuel a week

iirc the RA are the lighter, slightly more hardcore version. You MUST get one with the wee roof vent

i was just gonna mention a 200SX eck

could get an EK9 for abit more than 5 grand, but its not easy to make them go much faster than they already are i don't think, not really on the same scale as the subaru's you're all talking about though would be good fun though, generic reliability comment
