try API. i've had good advice from david he seems a dead on guy. all the threads i've read about them have been positive. the car will be attractive to someone. its a car thats worth preserving. all the best good luck.

while looking on ebay today i spotted an engine. red top sti unit from a 96 i think. 76k on it its worth a look. its advertised as "subaru wrx sti red top engine". all the best again.
