* Graham (KiwiXTR2) - Westfield XTR2 (Dry) / Subaru Impreza WRX STi (Wet) . . .

It might be a 'bug-eye' but it ain't no Rex with a STi do-up . . . it's a real one.

Pistols at dawn . . .

[Kiwi XTR2]

Pity the driver ain't a real one . . .

[Esprit]

Aren't they ALL WRX STis? *ignorance*

[Kiwi XTR2]

Nope.

WRX STi's are assembled by Subaru and fitted with STi bits.

STi's are assembled by STi with some additional bits that the Rex's don't have . . . and are the ones that count for the homologation numbers.

Either way it's a heavy lump and not a Lotus, Londa or Hotus.

they still go pretty good though

well I've never tried a bug-eye, but the v2 STi-RA ltd I drove went pretty well mind you I've never had the priveledge of trying anything Lotusey (or even remotely comparable to one) to compare it with.

any volunteers to bring a Lotus down south to show off?

Chancer Surely someone would relish a roadtrip to the deep, DEEP south?

[GravelBen]

You might be right.... oh and I've changed your car specs in lieu of the conversation above.

[GravelBen]

shouldn't that say 1.5GL 2wd ?




(I realised the other day that all N/A Imprezas have drum brakes on the back! I was rather shocked actually)
[edit: the original shape ones anyway, not sure about bugeye onwards]

With a roof-rack . . .

And a 'Baby on board' sign . . .

And a 'Speed Kills' bumper sticker . . .

And a 'Green Party' bumper sticker . . .

spewing nasty smoke all over the place

And bald tyres...

Still ? ! ?

That must have been a record setting effort.


You obviously won't remember much so will have to wait for the photos to be posted on the office noticeboard in the New Year.

Hey folks, will anyone possibly have a spare seat to head to Pukekohe on the 5th?? I will be staying in Auckland and it looks like there ain't much way to get there using public transport! Just a quick question to see if anyone has a spare one?? Thanks, Ben

[Esprit]

Ben, I MIGHT... depending on whether the Mrs will come with me or not... we'll have to see... I'm sure SOMEONE will... would be good to put a face to the name though
