Default Back in a Scooby :)

It's been a while but after selling my E60 BMW 535D to clear a few things and pay our wedding deposit, I needed a new daily.

Having previously owned a Hawkeye STi Spec-D and a classic WRX wagon, I actually had no intention of getting another yet but knew I would at some point in the future.

Then I saw this on eBay and liked the sound of it:





It's only a WRX but it is meant to have PPP, but I've not verified that yet. Not sure how to actually, but it does have the exhaust backbox at least.

There's also a short shift fitted, but with this being a daily driver I might actually remove it if it isn't overly complicated as it might be a bit more comfortable to drive every day. The clutch also feels very stiff but not sure if this is normal for one of these? My hawkeye wasn't heavy/stiff.

Overall seems to be in good condition but I would like to find out about having the clear film removed that is all over the bottoms of the doors and front bumper etc. to prevent stone chips. There are also some small dents to get ironed out but they're barely noticeable.

It's done 90k but has lots of history etc. and seems to have been very well looked after. It's also got a detachable tow bar which is going to come in very handy, with its first job being to pick up my MR-2 Roadster project next weekend

It should have a blue prodrive hose on tmic, and a cat missing just after the down pipe, may also be somthing written on the ecu in the passenger footwell.

Wagons rule.

Cheers! Is there a panel down there somewhere that pops off? I seem to vaguely remember this being the case....

Well no evidence other than the back box. Seller telling porkies I think.

Will have to source the bits myself, but not in a big hurry as it's a daily driver.
