Default can anyone help

hi

am thinking of selling my uk integra type R to get some sort of uk impreza turbo.

I had a look at a R reg(R333 CRG i think) terzo at a garage in manchester

the genral condition of car was ok

just it had 125 or 126k
wheels where badly curbed
and odd tyres all round!

just wondered if anyone else had looked at it or seen it about.

the price was 6795 which i personally thought was a bit much.

also it did not seem any quicker than my type r(which is modified tho)

thanks

Hi

Just noticed the Cumbria address.........

Register with Cumbrianscoobs.co.uk and ask there. I hear that one of the Cumbrian mob is to take delivery of an Impreza STi Ver 5 RA ( No ABS so DCCD ) very soon. Lots of helpful advice !!

Midlife.....

My fist scoobs was a 1995 wrx wagon, import. i did 80,000 miles in 3 years and the only thing to go wrong was a speedo cable broke and a ht lead. I also had it modded like all my cars since and ran it on 97 ron. I now have a 01 v7 sti wagon jap import. recently did a tour of france and spain no bother and much better than uk models, good luck.
