Default Searching for the perfect car

...has finally ended with a Blobeye STi, its been along time coming with plenty ups and downs along the way but I knew I would find one in the end.. ok I have compromised slightly with the cars mileage but it was too nice to say no to. Less than half an hours drive away and within my budget. completely standard apart from a set of coilovers. I will make a couple of small changes in time but apart from that it will be kept as it is. stunning condition inside and out. perfect!

Hi looks lovely. Do notice it also seems to have a splitter, cover over the battery, something going on around the slam panel and not sure what that blue cable is in the engine bay.
Very clean looking car though.

Does look nice, but i saw this for sale and a few if the pictures show the nearside rear door appearing to be a bit off colour? Check it out, hopefully its just the lighting in the photos.

Also, wasnt you after a widetrack?
I feel like im never going to find one 😔

Congratulations

It's been a hell of a long journey and many threads and I think you even got a ten pager which made you a scoobynet legend

Looks nice
Looking forward to your many posts asking for advice

Didn't get it from Cheshire Performace by any chance

Just needs a
Dump valve
Flamer kit
Stick on roof vent
Full sticker kit

To make it yours

Yep nice car.When you upload your pics why not put them in a folder on photobucket instead of having numerous links?

Just one of many of my pet hates.

Looks very clean, do the blacked out rear windows mean it is an import, or are they there to give it the JDM look

What's the mileage, how much did you have to compromise
