was well chuffed when i found it mate, had one previous owner and only done 58000 miles, on an L-reg! everything is pretty much bog standard, little bit of work done in the engine bay and facelift front end but otherwise untouched! which is just what i was looking for. better rack up some hefty overtime at work, can see me spending a lot of cash in the near future

Looks really nice in the flesh, underneath is really clean, been inside the showroom for ages, no drips or puddles, started it up and sounded quiet, no smoking and no leaks from anywhere I could see.
Checked the front end to make sure it hadn't been face lifted due to a crash etc.. everything looked spot on, all original slam panel, inner wings and arches, the back end was the same, no creases in the spare wheel well underneath, nothing wrong with the inside of the boot or arches etc.. all door, boot and bonnet shuts were fine too

Seems to have an Apexi AVC-R in the ashtray and a turbo-timer under the dash.

Totally original other than the front end and the above.

It's obviously had a decat at some point, hence the Zigeon (Spelling) sticker above the tail pipe, but under the bonnet it looks standard other than STI embosed top and bottom radiator hoses.

I like the non-spoiler boot, makes it look different and really nice IMO but gay boy Gummer wants a spoiler...............CHAV!!!!

We have found some cheaper ones on PistonHeads and the Type-RA website but they all seem to have more milage and most have a few problems with them such as whiney diffs/gearboxes/turbos, dents, scratches etc... test drive depending, this one seems really nice

Good luck Gayboy, and good choice
