Default Sucker For Punishment!

After breaking my old Scooby and a brief spell with a 200SX I found myself missing the old flat four burble. So I hatched a plan to buy a late classic in DBM with a blown engine, blown gearbox or both as i still had my low mileage engine and 'box from my old one

Unfortunatly, as with all great plans it kind of went off course a bit. While searching I came across this car. Now as I have had two silver Imprezas before it was the last colour i wanted but after a quick read of the spec I was sold.

The car had EXE-TC suspension, AP Racing 4 pots, VF34 turbo, APS fmic and OZ/Prodrive P1 wheels amongst many other quality parts. All for a bargain price, being sold with 'an electrical fault'.

So here we have it. Need to do a few bits to tidy it up like lose the tow bar, a bit of body work and some fog light covers but apart from that I love it!

Now all I have to do is find the fault. It has a Link ECU amongst a lot of other electrical gizmos. I may take everything off and go back to basics, less to go wrong.

I would love to know more about this cars past so if anyone knows any previous owners or history please get in contact.

I recognise the name! Did you used to have a Skyline?

My previous two Scoobies...







Might recognise them?
