WR1 Owners Club

Thought I would register on your site and say hello !

I have the below car at the moment and she was my 1st impreza and I’ve had her for nearly 3 years now, But looking for a change now and it needs to be another Impreza but with a difference and the RB320 is to much for me !!

Thanks

Andy

Welcome to the WR1oc Panda.

Nice pictures of the RB5.

welcome

I had an RB5 and loved it. the wr1 was the obvious next step!!

Welcome

Well nice RB5.

Very nice RB5 indeed Panda
Are they 19's or 18's, look very similar to the PFF's too

I owned an RB5 PPP before the WR1 for a couple of years, it was an excellent car never put a foot wrong and went very well, it was responsible for hooking me into scooby ownership

I was gutted when I was forced to sell it for a mundane car due to travelling commitments.

As Dan says, WR1 had to be the next step

Thanks for the comments, I wish it looked that clean everyday !!

The Rims are 18" PFF Replica's £740 with 215/35/18 Toyo Proxes T1-R's but they need replacing now after 2 Years and 20k, Wheels have been refurbished as well from someone I know for £120 for all 4 cracking job as well.!! So getting a set of Falken FK-452 £320 Fitted next week.

The car has done me well no issues at all bar a new clutch and normal servicing and brakes stuff !! and then there’s the 1000’s pounds of mods but aye that’s life .

But looking for something newer now with more power and if my RB5 gives me smiles every day I bet a WR1 will do even more. I’ve never owned are car for so long before so I thought it's gotta be another Impreza again, the RB5 has changed me !! Used to be a German Car Man before !!.

Need to sell my car first and there is no real rush cause I know that I want an WR1 Now and need to get as much money for mine as i can !!

Must be the 35 profile that makes them look bigger. Do they do 19" replicas of the PFF's

Hi Andy and a welcome from me too. You sure got a nice example there with your RB5 ! I bet you know the 3 members on WJPC who have the "5's " too.

We had 4 RB5's come on the Worcesterball run last year and some nice group pics were taken of them...especially with the owners and their partners all in the RB5 shirts ! SMARTIES !

Good luck with the sale and keep us posted with your efforts to buy the ONE and ONLY !

I know a few by face i met a few at Rally Day 06 who bought WR1's after.

Hopefully over the next few months I’ll be sorted to get a WR1 just need to sweet talk the missus with new Double glazing and a Land Rover Defender !! Not a new one tho !!

Got 2 greyhounds and a Boxer Pup and 2 kids !! well one of the greyhounds has 3 legs and is the mo in law who’s peed off to Spain for 6 months !! and her car can’t really take all of them !! So thought 10 year old ish LWB 12 seater defender. So make the missus happy and I can do what i want !! as long as it doesn’t involve a woman !!

Hi Panda, welcome ol'chum.

Nice RB5 - originally fancied one of them myself instead of my 'classic' turbo. Just couldn't find a decent low mileage example.

Got the '1' now though, so v.happy. Can't say enough about it after 2 weeks of ownership!

Good luck in your search.

TTFN!
