Is this an off the production line sort of widebody?
my advice, and prob others...if its dry then leave it open. Just beware of planting the foot if the cars not straight. Feed it instead. If its wet, lock it up 1-2 notches. If its icey, use wifes car....

From what i can gather the sti engine seems pretty robust as long as you treat it like any other. Same with the gearboxes for that matter.
Was going to buy a celica myself till i was introduced to my friends scooby. Just a wrx (import) but amazing. Glad i made the right choice. Hope youre happy with your type r. Probably one of the most ***** out scoobies made i reckon...

Definite way of saving an expensive engine rebuild is regular oil changes, Warming up and cooling down, Remap for the fuel you run. I have had my type r 6 years and had no bother right until i changed the turbo for a MD195 and have developed a slight head agsket blow, So time for pistons rods, gas flowed head,set of Kent Cams, modified oil pump and cooler, grp A steel head gasket, arp head bolts and a remap.

Think you misunderstand mate, the way you originally phrased it made it sound like you were giving it away... I was joking. (see pic above for what Im getting)
On a serious note, see post #1615 on page 54 - If you want some advice, just let me know. I sold mine at the full asking price in less than a week (last week).
