Default Wish I'd bought this!

Just seen this on Autotrader. It's what I paid for mine, an 06 but mine had done 50k and had FSH. I'm about to do Stage 1 & 2 plus fit a VF43 or equivalent with a view to taking it passed 300hp. Would have bought this if it had been around when I was looking.

Isn't yours in standard form though? Less likely to have been thrashed.

Seems like quite a lot of money for a WRX IMO. I'm not expecting to sell my cherished 06 WRX with 334/381 for anywhere near that when it comes time to sell.

What about this ?

Thought an STI was better base if you plan on tuning ?

Yep tis true mate. I am the one to thrash mine! Gotta be mindful of the hoses though apparently as it's 10 yrs old and not been thrashed so could split components if not respectful of warming up etc which I do anyway.
