I'll see what we can do, what do you call a piffling amount?

I would like to be able to buy them each from a pound shop without being arrested!

This looks sweet. Will all that power I would have thought the brakes and handling might want a few tweaks.

The graphics were designed by Hypoluxa who also took the photos (300+ iirc!)

I can think of lots of things to buy at the pound shop, unfortunatley they don't sell 'em

Drop us a mail if you are after any particular sizes etc.

Yes, we certainly wouldn't recommend this setup on stock suspension/brakes.

During the high speed mapping and testing at Bruntingthorpe we had enough power & torque to get the car sideways at 100mph

Let the battle commence

This sounds good to me RCM [Rosy B] verses Scoobmania [WR1 import] down to santa pod. What's say you all to this

I've got a technical question....

where do you put the front number plate?

Count me in.....Im up in seeing this! ......

Dont think there's anything on at Santa Pod now until next year ...

Stunning engine spec & figures Especially on 95 ron fuel.
If the car was shipped from abroad is it not a Solberg edition rather than a WR1? (i know i'm being picky )
Whats the 22a stickers under the front indicator represent? or is it just a pun on the 22B tag?
Take it the battery has been relocated to the boot?
Think i would have got the chassis/ brakes sorted out before heading out with that power under my right foot

All the same well done lads top job

My sentiment aswell Gee

But it may come from Southern Ireland which v power is there but limited

but if it is a solberg there's another pooster

My thanks to Scoobymania for posting this up and, importantly for us lot, managing to navigate his way through both the exceptionally good questions from Marky Mark and our own exceptional individuals and their rare talents!

To Scoobymania,

You'll have gathered that we have a few rare individuals who are well informed, and I do hope you keep posting. We're always keen to hear of alternatives and, as buyers, we will always be keen to see folks bid for our attention. It's good competition that helps keep the market alive, and we all wish you success.

Keep us up-to-date with your activities, and let us know when the website goes live.

Would love too, but I don't think our customer would be too impressed!

Shame, I'm sure we could de-tune it though to make it a fair race

It will be located in a similar position to stock but just a little higher so as not to obstruct the intercooler too much.

Thanks Gee,

Hmmm, the car owner refers to it as a WR1? I was under the impression the Solberg editions came with the radiator mesh and the STi 4 point adjustable dampers? Must admit I hadn't given it much thought to be honest.

The 22a refers to the power output (554) in hexadecimal, it just so happens that the 22b is 555

Battery is in the boot yes. It helps a little with weight distribution and also allows space for water injection pumps/catch tanks etc.

We run KW's & AP's on the shop cars, hopefully the customer will go this route. It really is a handful without.

This car is from Malta. Not sure if that sheds any light as too its true idenity?

That is very much appreciated Houndini

It is sometimes a little difficult to post on forums in a commercial capacity without coming across as a "hard sell merchant" (especially when we have only just joined). I hope our postings don't come across that way as that is certainly not the case, we are proper Impreza fans - having been in business (and solely specializing in Subarus) since 1999.

The new website is looking good and hopefully will be online within the next week, will be good to get some feedback from you chaps on it's design and content, and to point out the obligatory spelling mistakes lol. I've been updating and editing it all night hence the late night posting.

We also have a couple of ongoing builds in the shop at the moment, both will spank the WR1 (apologies) one especially so We'll keep you updated

I can see that a short trip up the M1 from Leicester to check you boys out is on the cards,and have a look at your customers WR1,SOLBERG,IMPORT,whatever. See you soon.

Scoobymania - keep the info coming.

Tha headline figures are superb Scoobymania, especially on 95, but would there be any chance of you posting some dynosheets so we can have a look at the spread of torque. A boost V power graph would be nice as well!

I sold my ole WR1 up north way, wouldnt it be funny if it was my ole WR1

as for WR1 spanking, i had a Honda Vision leave me for dead when i owned a WR1, took me 400 yards to catch up

You're more than welcome to post in a in a commercial capacity as well if you want.

That looks to be a very interesting project.

This is how a maltese soberg edition comes out the boxl


this is how pooster started life

I quite like those alloys.

Why did you bother with changing the looks in fact ? You should just have done the works on getting power up and weight down.

It could be an interesting alternative to a Type 25.

Now that engine in a Legacy Spec B...
