Would just make sure you Hpi it mate, triple check the history against the old mots for mileage discrepencys etc, check the clutch isn't high on the biting point and if it is haggle the price as it will cost you, also check when cam belt was done, also it maybe coming up for it's next service so just try for money off if it is.
Don't be scared to walk away even though you've traveled miles as there is a million for sale right now. |
If you can you could try and get a MY05 model with DCCD and wider track etc.

the bugeye is sold wayne ages ago back when you were looking so it,s time i got back to the fold |
Did you not say you had bought a 2.5 and all the bits for fitting to a wrx?
|
just been looking at the link again and i think it may have had some recent paint on the bk? it looks fresh and the colour of the bk tyre on drivers side is a give away,, looks like its been covered in filler dust at somepoint? its something i see regularly as im in the bodywork trade;) just double check it jamie? dont want ya getting stuck with a lemon:)
|
wayne i did go and see it but walked away it has been damaged at the rear there is some kinks on the boot floor,
i have also still got the 2.5 block and turbo after some advice from people on here i will use the car for a daily driver hence why i rulled out the typr r and want newage but i,am trying to get the best for my money, i,ve also just had too take a wage cut which was either that or no job so i,am being sceptical about were my money is being spent, |

yes wayne i,am contemplating weather or not to sell the engine and turbo then i could get an already modded newage but there are always option,s out there.
the idea was for a track day car but there is no chance of that now i,am bored with my 1.25lt fiesta economy wise great practical wise for my style of driving sometime i forget what i,am in when joining the motorway lol |

it,s getting it transported that give,s me a headache but if there were one close enough and then again how many newage sti,s are there with blown engines forsale none that i no :wonder: |
My brother got his car transported from Central Scotland down to Lincon when it was going for some upgrades and it wasnt that expensive. Like you say its finding one that will be the hard bit.
|
paul cheers for the advice anyway
