Your best bet would be to look for an STI but not an RA!!! The gearing is sooooo short in these cars that even at 70mph you are running at 4K+ on the Revs.

look for a nice early STI

Jay,
Go to halfords (deep intake of breath!) and buy a book called you aond your subaru impreza turbo. Best £20 you will ever spend! Tells you everything you need to know and then some!!!

Good luck,


Steve
