spoke with her already but as 'I could be anyone', she couldn't do anything. So got back onto the dealer as she advised. She did tell me the previous owner is still on their system.
So waiting for a call back from Matt at Showells... I've left a message and text'd him too.

Default Perrin 3 port boost solenoid

Would the Perrin 3 port solenoid be a worthwhile mod to go with a remap?

Thanks,
Paul.

I need to think twice before I go anywhere in it, I could jump in the Subaru without worrying. These are photos of it before it had been valeted and through Middlehursts work shop. Middlehursts were brilliant and I love the car. MPG almost identical to the subaru.



Have to say Chris not many cars make me look but this is one, they look great, cant wait for kids to f@~@: off them im having one LOL

Only 16 years to go, maybe an r37 then

Well The Engines back out of the car, Fully stripped down and examined & yes the Gaskets are way different :-/ Cylinder head on the drivers side is bent causing the camshaft to partially seize and be very difficult to turn.

Bought a 8gb Sony Mp4 player and a cable from tesco
http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.208-0381.aspx

I've now loaded over 500 songs and ca now put them in my car... don't know why I've never had a Mp3 player before.. as i cn link it to my home cinema amp and now play the music without using the DVD player as the CD player.


Anyone else using MP3/4 for the sound in their car?

What's your asking price ?
As a guide, my 09 (20 months old) wrx-s , 13400 miles, immaculate, went last week for £14800. A dealer bought it and has it marked up at £16995. A bit pricey for a nearly two year old car that only cost me £19.1k when new.

Hi Salsa

I use MP3 Cds but mainly a USB stick with loads on, much better than a cd .

I aint used my IPOD yet as i find the menus on my stereo crap, youve got the nice 2000 quid headunit

am i correct though you still have to choose via the player ?

Ted, I doubt whether you would have got £16k from a dealer if you hadn't been doing part ex against a brand new £33k Sti.

Pentagon Group, Ashbourne, Derbyshire. It's on their web site.
Where is your WRX-S advertised ?
It's very difficult to find a private buyer in the current climate who has the means to buy such a car without the need for finance. A dealer could be your best bet unless you are extremely lucky.

Thanks Paul

The book trade on mine is 17 and retail 18995
Obviously not going to get anywhere near that.
Lots about mind between
17-20

Thanks

Just seen the advert on PH.
265 BHP ? It could construed by a potential buyer as though it's been modified and may have warranty issues.
Don't you mean 251 BHP ?

£2000 head unit? you sure??
anyway I pick AUDIO, then select AV, so that gives you the RED/WHITE connection from the Mp4 player.

I change tracks off the Mp4, as the cable is long enogh for Jo to control while i drve and on RANDOM it plays through as it wants
volume is still off the Steeringwheel too




My new mod... done on both sides as there are so many white cars now, i need to know which is mine.
