My Brother In Law's Type R

Was at the bro in law's over the xmas hols and finally got to see the type r he bought last year. Apparently she won SI car of the show in 2008 so I'm sure some of you will recognise her. Bought from an enthusiast in Banbridge.



Man, this car boosts like crazy! I took her for a hoke and it drives so much differently to my newage WRX PPP. Really comfortable to sit in despite the cage!

Will get some better pics, but I was still shaking from the run when I took this lol!

that looks sweet.............

Simon O'Kanes (O'cahan) old motor, never got to see it in the metal but it was a stunner. Get your Bro in Law on here. Simon will be pleased to see the car.

What a show!congratulations to the Scoobyireland team for staging what i reckon to be the finest gathering of subarus ever seen in Ireland
The location,prizes,entertainment,tadestands all simply Excellent!
and to go home with the trophy for best classic of the show i'm just blown away!
cheers Simon

Good man, Stu!

I've just trawled up Simon's old thread about his car. Jimmy is a complete techophobe and doubt he will get himself on here, but I will try! Car is an absolute stunner and a real credit to Simon. I effing love it and am already looking at selling up my other three 'project' cars to see if I can replace them with this! LOL!

2 words I WOULD

Yeah mate, she's totally gorgeous and an amazing drive to boot!

Looks a really nice one alright .

Tight lookin classic

She's a 2.5 with HKS Fcon pro which would explain the torque. Mint mint car that I had the pleasure of importing.

I do love type R's, and that one is perticularly pretty,
I have never had the opertunity to own one! If I ever destroy my track car, I'll get a type R, they are loads of great special edition scoobies, But it's hard to beat the type r for value for money performance! love 'em!!

I'm happy to see the cars still around and looking great
Lost the contact number for new owner and often wondered how he was getting on with it! I think he was planing on doing a few trackdays with it.
The best Impreza I've owned,ask him if he'd ever consider selling it

PMSL yawn control
It will be another few months before the mak's on the road,i've been gathering bits n bobs as the money allows


Original mak wheels(currently being refurbed)
hard pipe intercooler kit
custom intake pipe & hks filter
battery relocation kit
tein springs
I'm on the look out for an exhaust system if anyone can help?



Should make a nice summer cruiser when finished,sure what's the chances of getting 350-360 brake from a type-r scoob with only a few bolt on mods and a standard turbo??

Yeah but a good 310bhp classic would give you a run for your money lol. Im sure you know that your old car would be a fair bit quicker

Yeah mate, I told Jimmy that I would post up here about it to see if I could find the previous owner lol! Didn't take more than 5 mins haha! He never took it near a track, just didn't get the time. TBH, he mentioned selling her when we were out in it - he's just not getting the use out of it and he's not even done 1000 miles in it since he bought it from you. To be perfectly honest, after the drive in it I was thinking of selling my mini and 924 to fund the purchase of it for me! But I'm having trouble convincing the wife that I need 2 impreza's!!! I'll ask him what his plans are if you want?

Nice Evo btw!

Yeah man! I'm amazed how quickly she boosts too - just have to keep feeding it gears! Very very nice car to drive as well and goes from Jekyll to Hyde in an instant!
