Just seems a waste having the Impreza sat there doing nothing (and costing me money) when I could sell both the toy and the family hack and get a newer car that does both.

Jdm twin scroll 6 speed legacy estate is what I'm looking at if I get rid of the widetrack, that would be my choice
Bit thin on the ground though so importing seems the main option

I didn't know you could get a 6 speed. That's always been a sticking point for me... and the cost of a replacement clutch!

Interesting thread. I'am also looking at a car change.I've had my WRX for 12 years and its been great. Have looked at and tried a few new cars, but still drawn back to the Subaru mark. Have booked a 2nd test drive of the 2016 STi for this weds. As to what yours if worth Nick,no idea. I know you spent massive on it,just need to find someone who will appreciate everything you have done.

Do like the wr legacies but most are autos in the UK manuals are 5 speeds as well and the Impreza 6 speed isn't an easy fit

Another great car that's unfortunately worth more in parts than it is complete. In an ideal world you'd drop a standard WRX lump back in it with all the other original bits and have a nice clean bug for sale and move all the good bits on separately.

Yeah, I'll be moving it on, engine wise it'll be back to standard but still with all the whiteline goodies, bc coilovers and the ksports still on.
Buying some salon sti 18's to replace the Japan racing wheels that are on it now.
Only selling as I just haven't gelled and want one car to do all hence the twin scroll estate
It's not going to be silly money, will be sensibly priced

6 speeds are around 2005/2006 onwards for the legacy, really not many about

The JDM GTBs I've seen are all 5 speed my UK spec B is a 6 speed but there's not many of those about so boxes are thin on the ground.

This however is tempting http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/351633742964

Not a fan of those wheels personally.

There are some good cars coming over currently, so it's a decent time to be in the market.

Can't see how a facelift 07 will be a cheaper VED car.

I do like them in white. I was considering swapping mine for a white one with fewer miles recently.

Because it's been imported and registered using the PLG system instead of using the measurements (emissions) category Co2

There's quite a few imports done this way, keeps them in the older taxation classes
