Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type R
Just bought this ....
Loving it so far [although I've got to stick below 3.5k revs to run the engine in], 150 miles to go!

Standard other than the wheels and a set of coilovers which is probably how I plan to leave it other than a remap.

Crank regrind, new No. 4 rod and new shells. Apparently the engine had been run low on oil at some point, it failed within 200 miles of arriving in the country. I bought it with 500 miles on the clock after the rebuilt which cost £1700 at trade price.

Hope you got her for a good price
Just for piece of mind, have the car fully serviced if she has not been, cambelt included as engines are expensive
She looks nice though

I paid just under £5k which I'm pretty happy with.
Yep it's had the cambelt/engine oil/coolant done at the rebuild but i'll be doing the rest myself over the next couple of weeks.
