WR1 or Hawk STI PPP RB320 look a like
Why does the wr1 need a service every 5000 miles? What's differant mechanically?
Will the wr1 be similer to drive compared to my previous 05 stippp?
I take it that the wr1 will hold it's price better than a hawk even though it' looks identical to an rb320'
last question!
Was there any common faults on the wr1,s and is there a mk1/2?
Thanks

Was your 05 STi the first of the wide track models with auto DCCD?
If so then you already had a WR1 but in a different colour.
For some reason the WR1 require a 5k oil service. No idea why as no other STi PPP needs it
Are you sure you're looking at a WR1? It looks very different from an RB320.
There was only Mk 1 and no obvious faults.

Watch out for knocking rear struts and a worn clutch if going for a wr1.
RB320 is nice but personally i wouldnt pay the price gap for what on the road is just as quick as a WR1.

Sorry I was not clear with my question!!
I have put a deposit down on a Hawkeye STI PPP which LOOKS lika an RB320 (Cheap alternative)
However It was mentioned that I should look at a WR1 because the residuals are better, there more exclusive than an 07STIPPP.
My 05 had a manual DCCD
With the WR1 was there a mk1, mk2 like the old focus RS?
Finally what is the better car to own?

There is always the JDM option of course?
better out of the box cars, more "feel" to the drive (mainly down to the quick rack steering 
) fantastic engines that pull from the off and virtually zero lag Tony

you are defo biased jdm, in fact it was some of your posts that made my mind up when I changed to a my05 jdm, glad I read them now as I believe I made the right decision and if I had bought a uk car would have probably been looking to change it for a jdm as the differences are well worth the time it took to find one.
Thanks
