Default Hello

Just thought i would say hello to the fellow essex owners.

I am looking at getting a 1995 wrx this weekend, got a choice of 2 both need TLC on the engine So i am sure i will be calling on everyones advice very soon.

I am am not new to turbo'd motors. Had a ford orion rs turbo 240bhp, mk2 astra gte turbo 250bhp, 200sx s13 380bhp, 200sx s14 300bhp. worked on mr2 turbo and a golf vr6 turbo as well. But now need a pratical family car with turbo powers, so the impreza fits the bit bill perfectly
