Just about to buy my first.

Going from a 290+ bhp 2 door Impreza Type R, to an 850/V70 TDi, there's a change of direction for you lol. I kept something to play in though

test drove a couple so far, nice cars.

Ryan, it would be great if we could try this out on a track - sounds good fun to me! Maybe next year at an airfield day!

I would love to get the car dyno'd and run down a 1/4 mile but track days arn't really my thing.

The car was built with it being a road car hence the suspension is stiff but not stupid so that ride is ok for a long drive. Thats also why the seats have stayed the same rather than race seats (that and try finding seats for those with a larger frame )

If anyone has a dyno day being organised - let me know!
