Default Looking for parts / and advise

Hi,

wondering if anyone can help, I know this is the wrong forum, but im not have to post in the others yet, im looking for a driver side window motor & reg (not sure if it is that as my window just doesn't respond anymore which is very annoying), hawkeye rear bumper (preferably in blue) and hawkeye taillights. also I am looking at moving up from the 2.0l R Sport to one of the turbo'd ones.. but not sure which to be looking at, I like most but have a thing for the Hawkeye's.

Any advise is much appreciated

Thanks,
Bran

Not an expert but some of the differences are turbo, suspension and interior

I'm not sure which one to get, im not thinking about money, Im just thinking about the drive etc, the R Sport is an unusual drive as its lack of power and light back end with soft suspension makes it weird around the corners, also I noticed that the steering is very light in that model, is it the same for the wrx/ sti?

Start with the wrx

2.5 open deck block
Wrx intercooler
5 speed gearbox
TD04 turbo
Subaru embossed brakes
Wrx low level spoiler
Injectors are also smaller I believe
5x 100 PCD

Sti

2.5 semi closed deck block
Vf43 turbo
Sti intercooler (good for over 400)
6 speed dccd gearbox
Brembo brakes all round
Sti hi level spoiler
Stronger 5x114.3 PCD
Wide track arches

That's just some I can't remember them all off the top of my head

Sti is the best bet

Thanks

Steve

Sorry for the slow reply

I had a blob sti which was running 470 which was cracking to drive

Gutted I let it go

Then bought the 2.5 hawk sti and I must admit it is a cracking car torque is right the for you

Obviously a few handling mods and a remap will make it a he'll of a lot better

A lot of people say it's best to get one that's been forged or at least has had the headgaskets done I bought mine with 34000 on the clock it's only done 37500 now and it gets slightly abused and it hadn't missed a beat

Mine had fsh and I immediately done all oils and cambelt and it's been spot on
