Good S202's are worth that all day long :) They cost a fair bit to import and getting up to a good Spec with map and longevity mods for safety costs more ;)

Been talking to the dealer and reading the other thread on this car,I'm concerned too now about the missing original parts,wheels,seats.
Just wondering what it's worth not being 100% original and whether you could ever make it original again as finding the seats will be near impossible.

with missing parts doubt much more than a normal sti. will be nigh on impossible to get hold of the missing parts

What about this then,worth the ££ ?
Bought my version 6 from them and it wasn't a good car.

I bought it over for myself and Max bought it off me. The car is very special and the only reason I sold it was It sat on my drive for 3 months I didn't even get a chance to register it thats how busy I was. Any how the fruits of my labour should pay off in the next 9 months and perhaps i'll be lucky enough to buy a 991 finger crossed! :D

my type r came from there and developed a crank rattle 4k later and engine is worn out so being rebuilt.

juggers 24 July 2015 03:37 PM

Guys you are buying classics which are 15 years old your bound to face them sort of issues depending on how they have been driven in the past. What sort of mileage did you cars have?

Chocador 24 July 2015 03:48 PM

Mine was still restricted,60'000 miles iirc,the bumper,bonnet,lights were all wrong,diff was clicking,had loads of crap mods that I removed.
It was my first subaru so was totally blind when I went to see it,his description was 'choice' shall I say.

V5/6 engines will definitely let go at some point, hence I would bother with a classic engine. Newage conversation FTW.
