hi got my first ever scoob today i think its an sti was quoted 300bhp and tis arf quick heres a pic ill upload some of engine let me know what you thinks

 

Where it is parked up now.........................that will become like a 2nd home. Looks tidy, always had a soft spot for green. All signs are it is an STi. Welcome and Enjoy!

Welcome,looks well

 

Should really have a STi carbon strut brace in there, why on earth would someone remove it

Nice looking in green though

TX.

 

i dont think that is a sti mate, its a uk2000

 

That's a MY99 UK turbo not an STi. Get it on a rolling road, 300bhp is suspect unless the turbo has been changed, its probably at best 270bhp, if it's had a decat n remap.

 

were they not red tops?

 

thats what i thought but hey i swapped it for my range rover 4.6 hse on a R reg

 

^ As above
No STI tmic
No Red top inlet manifold
UK Sigma alarm sounder.

Looks like a UK car but aslong as you are happy.

 

post some pics of the interior and we will confirm it for you. The topmount intercooler in the pic is either for the wrx or a uk2000, also sti engine normally have redtops where as your aint. I am not even that the classic sti was released from factory in the green?

 

still its very quick and likes going side ways

 

One good thing out of all the above ^^ Cheaper insurance lol

 

lol its also cheaper than my range rover

 

Scoobs dont usually go sideways unless it's snowing, have DCCD or there's a lunatic behind the wheel practising scandanavian flicks

 

how much did you pay for it?

 

looks ok

 

swapped this for it

 

keen on green then.. saved the green polish.

Above before though on a more serious note, once confirmed what spec the car is make sure you inform the insurance co.... I dont think its an STI... Insurance void!

 

yes
T301POA is on the Motor Insurance Database today

The details on the MID are:

Vehicle Make/Model: SUBARU IMPREZA

 

so you are already use to regular fuel runs then if i was you i would get the car booked into a subaru specialist for a good service and a general check over to make sure all is ok. These cars can become costly if not looked after properly!

 

oh i forgot to mention i am a mobile rapid responce mechanic lol

 

and you didnt do your homework before buying the car.....

 

ahh well bit of a spur of the moment thing lol

 

LOL................All signs are that it is an STi.................until you open the bonnet. Apologies, does not appear to be an STi.

dnc

 

I told you that an hour ago

 

As said above definetley not an sti ,no badges on the wing,no sti intercooler or y pipe,and no sti strut brace.It looks like the turbo heat shields been removed,so maybe another turbo might be fitted.

 

It's a uk turbo 2000 - no doubt. As for the 300bhp, not without a different turbo & remap. Looks nice though.
