should i buy standard or modified ?
Finally after sorting funds out and what not i have 7.5k and looking to buy my first impreza, after speaking to a few owners and specialist's i've had mixed answers, maybe this site can help i am kind of set on a blob eye Sti. However should i buy standard for piece of mind knowing its hasn't been played with,or a modified one ?obviously my price range is limited and wont get anything well spent on.
Secondly now ill be going viewing cars is there anything to look out for ?
Thanks

Buy by condition and not worry too much about mods as long as they are mods you are happy with, I have had two blobs and only problems I have had is a little rust under rear spoiler.

TBH only full decat without map would put me off, a front mount and the owner claiming he's only ever run it on 95 won't help.
Am I right in thinking most imports will have been driven around for quite a while mapped for higher octane Jap fuel? I had an import with shot exhuast valves that may or may not be related.
