I feel its low priced for this car with the spec but maybe its 'priced to sell' and not to sit around until the saltun of brunei is in town!! OR maybe these aren't desirable atm?

Struggling to look past those awful prodrive wheels and Audi wannabe wing mirrors

definitely on the high side but mileage is quite good so would possibly push the price up a bit.

Funny enough the 2 things I don't like are the wheels and wing mirrors too!

Are the mods ok? They don't seem too excessive to fry that 2.5 block...

stock 2.5 lets go if you look at it wrong half the time so mods are irrelevant.

Looks like the perfect all rounder plus a good reputable seller. I purchased my Spec C from these guys a while back and they really bent over backwards. Worth taking a look

Good luck

Saw this at a meet last year iirc and it was a clean car. The underside was pretty immaculate too.

Worth going to view if you are in the market for one.

Priced well for the miles.

My last one had over 90k on the standard engine and never skipped a beat.

Thanks guys will go and see it next week. Any thoughts on changing the rear spoiler for a more subtle one? Will this change the handling? Something like this that would fit in the same holes. Not that keen on the current spoiler tbh.

The low level wing, as used on the WRX model, and supplied as an accessory in the UK, uses a lot more fixing holes than the high wing.

LOW LEVEL


HIGH LEVEL


It also uses different strength torsion bars due to the variance in spoiler weight.

Having run both (with a change of boot lid) - yes there will be a difference.
