A blast from the past....
Well hello me'old ESC members....How have you all been? 
Just wanted to ask some advice....as some of you may or may not remember, I used to run a 330bhp bugeye WRX...well I moved to an R33 Skyline, then to a single tub RX-7 and now I find myself in a quandry.....
Do I keep going on the jap circuit and go for an evo.....or do I get hold of another Scoob as it's a buyers market out there?
If anyone knows of any STi's going (as that's the bare minimum i'm looking at) please point me in the right direction....
Be cool....

Hello chap. What happened with the RX7 then?
Hey Mr. mneame....Well I would go for an evo but I just don't really like the look of the 3-6's and i'm only really looking for something to strip and rag (like my se/x life).....I've got the legacy estate in the garage that's mapped to 267bhp but it's an estate at the end of the day....ahem
So I was thinking something along the classic lines....strip it out apart from the drivers seat (or maybe I could to a Hightower
) and go from there....hhmmmm

shame you just missed my ra up for sale. had it all stripped out nice big brake set up on there, full white lines all round, coil overs 3" system. had fpr and a set of 550s to go in. was just working towards the cash for the new ecu. then the missus says sell it or i go. her going wasn't an option what with the little 'un so the ra went. started off up for £4k as it was then ended up taking all the good bits off bar the brakes, putting the interior back in. had it up for £2200 and done a straight swap for a 325i convertible.

As Matt says, ABW has got a classic STI and a WRC hawkeye replica which is stripped out, caged, electronically controlled Tein suspension and looks the nuts, AND it's an STI.
How's your Dad, keep meaning to pop round, but been very busy recently
