it was imported in 2003 i think (need to check the paper work) at around 3k miles. it was a show/demo car for subaru. it has 48k on the clock, so hasn't been used much lol

Nice find, I wouldn't mind a Bug STI Wagon if I could find one in that sort of condition and miles, unfortunately they're like rocking horse poo with diamond studs.

Lol, As soon as I saw that you'd posted I knew you'd make a comment on that post.

I fancy a bit of moding for trackdays, sprints and hill climbs out here as I miss the buzz, mine is getting a bit long in the tooth for that sort of thing and I don't fancy running 2 cars.

We all know STI's are best if your a modder with motorsport aspirations.

It's all just a pipe dream though so the mighty wrx ppp will just have to keep trundling on for now.

I've long said a bug STI with APs all round and injectors/turbo/fuel pump/remap would be one hell of a car. But maybe not fast enough to scare a Rover 200 being driven by you

They do pop up occasionally in the auctions though, is worth keeping an eye out for one.

Wow 48k on the clock very nice! I own a bugeye STI Type UK and it is easily the best car I have ever owned, when I was in the market for a new classic Impreza MattyB told me why don't I consider a Bugeye STi and I took his advice, awesome car! timeless infact, it is my second car patiently waiting for the weekend (and me to), I think the bugeyes are making a comeback, good choice! PS mine is black, fastest colour yo!

It's it better to have the car running when steem cleening the engine . May sound like a bit of a stupid Q but someone told me to always run the car .
