WR1 Owners Club

hi,

After a hard 3 months of looking for a tidy Wr1, the search is over!

Picked her up from scotland, a 335 mile drive from mine! Worth every second it took to travel there and back

i now own Number #039.

Was surprised on the fuel it used, i thought it was going to be worse

Glad you found one, as for fuel i didnt buy one for good fuel consumption, working on an average of 236 miles to a tank. I filled up when i brought the car, down to just above half tank and covered 77 miles

I used just over 3/4 of a tank doing the 335 miles

Was it on a trailer?

Check under the bonnet, sounds like you may have inadvertently bought a very rare diesel WR1

I would get it checked out by an independent subaru specialist asap. STI's dont get 335miles to 3/4 of a tank @ 70mph, thats WRX mpg. I know johns WR1 had a WRX turbo and map on it until he put the real deal VF35 turbo back on it.

My thoughts to

Not sure of miles covered etc but I went from West Wickham in kent to Burnsford near Birmingham and had full tank V power when I left. Petrol Light was on when I arrived!.
Filled up with Full tank of V power (again!) before traveling home and light was on again by time I pulled on my drive.
I should mention at this point that I made up over 50 mins on the SATNAV's ETA........Enough said!! Enjoyable drive!!

Enjoy your new Car Dayo they are Gems!!

132 miles

Blimey is that right! It must be more than that....I went a really stupid way as I dont go up North much so milage will be a bit more.
M25-M1- then across side ways!!
I think M6 is quicker.

You always have to bring that up....

Yeah, mpg dropped from 300 with the TD04L down to 230 with the VF35
