Default Version 6 STI

Will get some better pics, had this for about 5 months now and started driving it about a month ago thanks to an amazing 2nd car quote and the awesome customer service of Greenlight insurance! I still have my UK wagon in another pretty rare colour, mica red. Some of you may recall my bugeye STI wagon which I had to sell due to being off work for 7months because of my poxy back and an operation (would be lovely to have got some state help after 20years paying tax and national insurance, but guess they only wanna help asylum seekers). When I was back on my feet I went looking for a replacement wagon but it's so hard to find one.

I'm always looking for nice classic STI's and would love a Version 6 STI Wagon. This car came up local to me and has got great history, been in the country from very low mileage and has 64k on now. Remapped by GG with TSL exhaust and AP brakes. Goes very well and feels strong. She's booked in for some paintwork at the end of this month to make it spot on.

Pretty rare colour for an STI. As I understand it, this colour was only available on Version 6 STI's. Plenty of UK cars in this colour, although I'm not even sure if it's the same. I think in all the years I've looked I've never seen an STI V6 saloon in this colour, seen a couple of Type R's though.







Still on the look out for a nice Version 6 STI wagon if anyone knows of one, maybe someone wants a saloon!

Amazing looking car, clean and great colour. Just started scooby ownership with a bugeye sti, but always loved the classics too.

Nobody hate the colour? I'm still not sure on it. If it was Sonic, I'd not contemplate selling.

As Tony said, JDM has electric aerial on the N/S rear quarter, must say I'd rather have the UK style aerial thougha as it's all a bit 80's Ford having the aerial on the quarter.

It's a lot nicer being in the STI interior compared to my UK car, no nasty bright switch and much nicer heater controls for starters.

Lovely looking car mate! I had a Turbo 2000 in that colour a few years ago, exactly the same wheels too. The 6's are nice looking Scoobs!

I love this colour, seen a V6 STi Type R in the same colour a few years ago and it looked amazing!!

My old V6 STi with a full decat, and remap was rapid, had some fun in that car!!!

Yep, this is just running the exh and remap and it's a rapid car.

Indeed, I love the front end. I honk they got the size of the bumper lip just right.

SVA have had a couple. The colour has grown on me but I was never a fan, I've not had any negative comments about the colour but I think I'll like it more when the paint is sorted.

It's definitely impressive for a standard'ish spec, with the std suspension and the AP 's on there it's a great bit of kit really.
