A friend of mine is selling his n-plate sti, i havent a clue what they're worth, it's 75km, just had the box done at ZEN, mot'd last week and having the cambelt done tom, 2K?

Been and looked at it tonight, but am unsure what a proper sti should have

It hasnt got a red-top engine that's concerning me,and is rather noisey when first started but soon quietens down, also it's had a bump on the front passenger side at some point as the bonnet dosent fit great and the headlight.

It's got the interior, water spray, strut brace etc etc.

Another thing that concernes me is he's used if for sprint racing in the past, hence he blew the box, so thinking, ragged?!?!

Cheers, any views would be good...

Cheap for a reason and you will not get any change from 1k if you need to replace the engine of 2k for a rebuild!! Early STi's never had red top, I think they started on either V2 or 3 (not sure which one) but the easy way to tell is look at the vin number.

pistol

yeah i just read that on wiki that it was this version they started painting the engines.

im not sure what to do, already have a same age wrx with no engine, just thought this would get me on the road quicker, and have a 'higher spec' well more desirable model than a normal wrx.

STi Version 2's didnt have a red manifold as standard - noisy when cold started could be piston slap from the forged dogbone pistons or from the hydraulic lifters in the heads.
Its worth what your willing to pay for one with "track" history and a bit of accident damage tbh.

yeah it certainly wasnt knocking, it had been stood for a week or so until we started it cold when i got there as the disks had surface rust on them.

I am sure the version 2 sti do have red manifolds ( mines does )

The book i have refers to this being the first model to featue this but states that the ra models never got the red manifold for some reason.

give me 5500
and i'll give you a nice type-r with fresh rebuilt engine..

only version 1 sti didnt have red top if i remember right. agree the cold start noise is nothing to worry about so long as its sweet when warm.
2k is not a bargin though for a v2 sti. least with that one you know the history all be it a track history!

Which Car is a WRX STi

The WRX STi was launched on the 20th January 1994.

Quote:

" Each engine was blueprinted (ie. manufactured and assembled to higher tolerances) and added a closed deck block finished in a red crackle finish, forged pistons, steel crankshaft, bigger valves, a better intercooler, a bigger radiator, reset ECU and uprated turbo charger "

STi Version 2's were sold from August 1995

The bit about the closed deck block isnt strictly true, some have them and some dont. The RA version seems to have it more than the sti.

Version 2's were a mix of having/not having a red inlet manifold, not all did (RA or STI) so take that into account, it was really the version 3's that had all red inlet manifolds

Ok, so ill stop worrying about that then!

Gud price or not then? thinking, it's an sti, with fresh box, engine goes well and the noise isnt anything to worry about.

What turbo's do these have by the way?

dj219957

td05 same as wrx

pistol

2k a gud price then?

dj219957

its not a bargin IMO but if its in very good condition then 2k is OK.

pistol

ok, maybe ill leave it then, as it isnt 'mint', drivers rear arch is going, would be sorted if i wanted it,maybe ill offer a cheeky amount and see what happens.

You'll never get £5500 for a v2 Sti, especially with 85k, unless it has a lot of seriously expensive parts attached to it. That price is v5 territory.

dj219957

if the rear arch is "going" walk away.plenty of nice ones for 2k.
