Hi all, I’ve decided to keep my car for the time being....I put it on eBay and got very close to what I asked for. I’m going to leave it on eBay as it’s paid up for a month and if someone on eBay wants to buy it for 18 grand it theres. Thanks for all the interest. I’m glad to be staying as a Subaru owner on here, I will buy a few bits for it next month to replace the rusty bolts etc...
16k now🤑

cheers mate, really not sure but I have been in a few modern fast cars recently like golf r’s, Audi s3, focus rs and I much prefer the newer cars. All the things Subarus have for fast driving people is irrelevant to me as I don’t drive fast. I know people will say the ones I’m looking at are boring etc but I’m after comfort now with a bit of poke....be either golf r or s3 👍

For the money I personally don't think the s3 is worth it.
Have you looked at the BMW (insert number)40i. Depending on age you're also close to M5 money. Or get a more tame 3 series (in comparison to the 340i) thats years newer.

I will have a think mate but I won’t be buying anything soon, I forget to mention the m140 which is another option but the work van is all I need right now 👍

Hi all, replaced the rusty radiator brackets and some rusty bolts as pointed out (Thanks don for part numbers for bolts)
I will be generally cleaning the engine Bay Area after Xmas probably as there’s no rush at the moment and getting some power upgrades to. Cheers

think reason could be heat or poor maintenance before painting
