Picked it up last week from Southampton docks.

98WRX 24000 miles, near immaculate, it has jap sat nav that doesnt work tho cause no remote was sent with it

Currently with ScoobyClinic getting SVA prep'd. Cant wait to pick it up and get drivin about in it!!!!

here's some pics:

 

Car looks great, should have asked that gimpy dealer to get out of the shot tho

 

p*ss off!!

 

Are you sure that's a 98 it's difficult to tell from the front shot but the colour looks more like a phase 1 classic to me.

 

Yup positive mate, check the second pic...

 

It's the second picture which makes me think it's not a 98

 

Have you got anymore photos? I'm sure that's the same colour as my sisters car and they don't do that colour on later models which is a shame because I love it. WRX's in that colour are quite unusual too

 

Nice looking car

Dan

 

Paul, a 98 would be a phase 1 classic.

Phase 2 were MY99 cars (which its not)

 

I think midlifecrisis was having a laugh mate

Nice car BTW

 

I thought the facelift happened in 97

 

I think it's nice to have a half decent looking young man on these forums for a change teehee

Hope the SVA goes smoothly but more importantly, quickly!!!

 

it is very very very clean!!!!! the japs are lucky no salt on the roads the inner arches you could eat your dinner off!!!



we have never seen a reaction like yours, when you got out of it and went mad jumping around the workshop!!!! "yes got my scoob!!!" lol great to see!!!


it's well on the way m8, not so sure about the massive ariels on the back window!!!


see you soon chap

very nice. like the look of the wheels!

 

Which one Every year practically saw a difference..LOL...

We may be at cross purposes here - year or model year?

MY98 was facelifted from MY97 (some detail differences to grill from 97 IIRC, dash from Forrester) but still phase 1 engine

MY99 was facelifted from MY98 (phase 2 engine, different front end (lights, bumper, spoiler) and STI V4 mid level spoiler.

D

 

What I meant was the difference between the early model with the more rounded front and the later more hard edged model. I believe this change took place in around 1997 but I'm not 100% sure about that. Hopefully you know what I mean.

 

saw this car yesterday in the flesh it looks very nice

 

like the wheels . nice colour to

 

how much did it all cost you? by the way very nice car

 

See you all decided to ignore my remarks about having a good looking fella on this fine fora Sod the car!

 

wots the model code afro..that'll sort out the 97-98 thing once an fer all.
That rear shot does look identical to my 97 tho (cept fer colour n tint window), cant see any differences front shot either... oh who cares long as he's happy

 

and still do

 

Looks like you got yourself a nice edition there mate....rare colour too

If it is a 97/98 then it could well have a VF22 turbo on it

De-cat, scoobysport downpipe and backbox and you will have yourself a proper little flier!

On another note, its also had the Alpine Sat Nav installed (see the rear ariels on the rear windows) so you can flog that gear on ebay

 

Soulgirl - you only said half decent looking - I was shocked stunned and upset!!
Ive just appeared in a magazine actually doing some modelling, well, kinda.

Oh and it cost around the £8500 mark to get it and bring it into country etc, prob lookin around £9000 when its on the road.

P.S. Adam - glad I made some kind of impression with my little outburst over there, what can I say - the excitement got to me!!!

Cheers for all comments ppl! - oh except you MidLifeCrisisII

 

Ohh King Eric - you know anything about the Sat Nav? Its Japanese and cant get the damn thing working (unless you had any luck with it Adam? Also - can you tell us what the model code is pls?).

I will be floggin the Sat Nav on t'ebay tho!!

 

Which magazine... I think I feel an oggle coming on I said half decent as you are not Brad Pitt
