Thats why I said I was after a late UK blob or JDM car. Wasn't really expecting a Hawkeye and I've owned a Forester STI before now that needed head gaskets so perhaps I'm a little suspicious of the 2.5 engine.
Can spend more for the right car though, just trying to stick to a budget.

I remember that it took a fair bit diagnostics to discover the head gasket problem in your forester. Would be useful to know what tipped you off in the end?

I really didn't want it to be that so did all the usual first thermostat, radiator etc so it got pretty costly and then it still needed the heads doing. Sold it shortly after in hindsight should have kept it since it was sorted and mint .
It was fine to drive short journeys ie to work everyday however when I went anywhere decent NBO, Chatsworth etc it overheated and I had to drive with the blowers on full heat to get the temp down my face was always this colour .
Anyway thats why I'm not having a 2.5 I'm sure there's plenty of good ones I just know I wont get one

that one on autotrader has an sti 8 steering wheel for some reason and I don't like the front bumper splitter, but both can be put right, although might be worth asking why the steering wheel was changed as unusual unless the airbag has been deployed.

I actually like the bumper and splitter that's what attracted me the steering wheel I can pick up for about £130 with airbag really simple. The JDM blobeyes are the best shape in my opinion. If the guy is willing to drop the price a little bit can you lend me the money

This one is interesting, though a TD06-20G would be laggy on a 2 litre & does defeat the purpose of a JDM. I wouldn't convert a twin scroll to single scroll! Also why hasn't it been mapped??

if you are considering a blob then i would take a look at this one from a member on here

leaves you change too, leave it in the back or ad a grand or so to the remaining budget and get the block forged and turn up the boost !!!! at a later date slap on a larger turbo and a few little tweaks and i am sure you would end up with a 500+ beast ;-)
good luck

Although fingers crossed from this weekend mine is gone too as you put the thought of another car in my mind when you mes!! ha ha. Sad day as lots of people seem to be leaving the scooby scene BUT thankfully just as many are joining the folds!!
Keep looking nice, honest motors out there!!

Sounds brilliant but I don't really want a too modified car a Type 25 alone would be enough. I've had 3 STIs before I know they can be a money pit so I'm trying to stay sensible 'ish' with my budget.
Ideally I'm after as late as possible Blobeye 55/06 but registered before end of March (23rd) then lower tax
More standard the better with under 40k if possible.
Would rather have a mint standard car than a modded one needing bodywork etc, condition is important.
JDM STI/Spec C I would also like and I know I might have to go older to get one.
Cheers for the ideas, I've even paid up in anticipation of being on here a while
