Hi all I'm looking at buying my first scooby. I've seen a few I like just wondered what's people's thoughts on this one. Does it all seem to be ok. Any help or advise will be great.

Looks like Muddy's old car, very nice car!

Si

 

The 90's called, they want their era back.

Thanks

 

You could have my 2003 STI for not much more than that

 

Would look better if the **** on the front and rear bumper was taken off

 

Im sorry but youd have to pay me to drive that in public.Its scoobs like that that gives them a bad rep.Each to there own i guess.Or im to old

 

I would have to say I would stay clear myself. Just looks like a halfords job all over. Plus, that's a lot of wedge for a WRX regardless of the "bits" on it. As scoobysteve69 said you can have a sti for that sort of money.

 

Halfords doing Spec R stuff now, have to get over there and get some bits

 

No no no...I said he can have mine for not much more. Not any STI....

 

Sale now on

 

I dont like it. Get a tidy sti for same price. I got my blob STI PPP with 65k miles for £6200 running 325bhp

Or get a tidy wrx for 3.5 to 5k?

 

Get something like this. Much better value for money and will hold its value better

That looks like a tarts handbag, good spec on the engine and perrin fmic is not cheap, but also not needed at that level.

Another problem would be the insurance with all the mods declared maybe cost's more than an STIi, i'd check first.

As for the boot install and white dash but if you like that sort of thing then thats up to you, it's you that's going to have to look at it every time you get in.

Personally if it were my money i'd go for the real thing, an STI like the ones posted in the links, i can see the reason for doing all that to a wagon but not a saloon, he's spent a small fortune to get something that will never be an STI.

If you do go for it, i suggest you find out who built the engine and who mapped it.

Which is a bit rich coming from me, as a self builder and soon to be self mapper.
