Not much tbh, check the gearbox is fine , no whines, crunches etc. check the engine for any leaks, knocks or bangs.

I doubt the WRX will have that issue, its more of an STI thing. If they are shot though you can usually lift the back end and it will stay there when you let go .

only wanted the gearbox for my project type r (6 speed dccd hawkeye box with 40k on it) but ended up sorting out a dream deal and having the whole car lol

i already have a 5speed dccd box out of my other type r so all it needs is a bottom end. i managed to sort out a deal for a sti bottom end which has been up to rcm and had abit of work done on it. picking the block up tomorrow.

the car is down at ryan's (prodriverules) waiting for the short motor to been taking down to him to get it back on the road!!!

since ive been scoobyless (well not scoobyless just not using one lol) for almost a year and having 2 scooby's sitting in garages locked up! im rather happy to say looks like there a light at the end of the tunnel to get me back in a scooby again!! this type r will be my daily car

hope to see everyone very soon
