Default it's been a while

Hello all

its been a while since I sold my old Scoob but fingers crossed come Monday afternoon I should be the owner of a ver 3 STI import.

Just wondered if anyone had some tips on what to look for as it is a few years since I purchased my WRX.

It has just had the cam belt changed along with the rocker cover gaskets, with full service & all the oils done at the same time.

needs some work cosmeticaly but that can come with time just buzzing at the thought of being an owner again. nothing compares to these cars they are something special

let me know what to look for

cheers

Tim
