hi all i'm about to start looking for a subaru
the type i have my eye on is version7 sti wrx type uk
i know the usual crash damage stuff etc ,
but is there any problems i should look out with the engine , gear box is there any where they might suffer from rust !!! ( just paranoid about that as i have a cosworth )
thanks for the help
ps if you know of any for sale let me know
looking to spend around 10 K

 

If you can get an independant inspection - might cost a couple hundred quid but could save thousands in long term - usual stuff, check tyres and brakes inc discs as if you have to replace all these it will be well over a grand.

If its a Jap import make sure its been remapped to run on UK fuel as some did not and as a result run a bit lean - anyway i'm no expert but i'm sure the tech bods will be on here shortly.

welcome by the way

 

Try phoning the previous owners and the garages that serviced the car you're looking at.

I did and it helped me to find a decent one.
