Default From WRX to STI

Currently own a 2004 blob wrx ppp. Had a couple of classic uk turbo's before that. Time for an sti so put a deposit down on a nice widetrack. Hope the sti hype is worth it

I don't think you will be disappointed there it's a lovely motor look after it and it' will hold its money a lot better than a wrx . I went from a mapped turbo to my blob sti which is now mapped as well with the prodrive lowering springs on it I personally think it's just as raw as my classic IMO of course . Nice buy blobs all the way for me

Subtle mods are a must

I've had mine for five years now it looks mint from a distance but close up its stone chipped to pieces so it's just gone in for a full respray and under body wax oil so should be good for a long time now . It's cost 1 k and that's him doing it in between jobs so a better price as well . These cars will be worth a fortune in years to come if well looked after , good look with the new car
