wrx-sti
:notworthy Me an hubby have just found out that the dozy :freak3: bloke that we bought the car off, Dosen't know his cars! AS we bought the car with him telling us it was a WRX, but we have just found out its a Wrx-Sti so we are well chuffed now,
:notworthy |
Gotta make your insurance co. chuffed now?
Good deal then? |
You found out after you bought it????
Did you not check the docs on it? |
result but still...... why wasnt it spotted on the day lol
|
that also suggests that you and your hubby don't know your cars either.... ;)
How long after buying it did it take you to find out? |

Please don't take this the wrong way, but aren't just as liable for not spotting what car it was(or wasn't)? Unless it's a v2, sti's have red intake piping + an sti strut brace?

My STI 1 had no red manifold, but did have intercooler w/s, STI logo seats, STI strut brace, plaque under bonnet.
If it is a version 1 this site will be of interest to you : http://members.lycos.co.uk/markysan1970/index.html |

My STi2 was completely de-badged but it has all the tell-tale pink sti logos on certain engine parts and bay.
|
only thinking its sti from numbers on vin plate after searching net and engine number and transmission number matched that of sti
engine number EJ20GDW2HE transmision TY752VB3CA could someone shed some light on these numbers as my information is only as accurate as the info on web site any body verify these please cars 94 wrx at least more than happy with that :) maybe just a bit of wishful thinking |
Some body, Anybody??? :(
|
Could this car have had an sti lump put in it to replace the wrx one,just going on what you said about the engine number
|
A friend of mine had an early Sti, wasnt red top. Since hes a mechanic, last summer he stripped his whole engine, tarted it up and powder coated it blue. Hence he has a Sti with a blue top engine ;)
