Looks very tidy, 280 bhp though? are they really? sure someone can correct me, but I didnt think the regular WRX had that much go!

Yup 280 is correct...well 280ps which is 276bhp on 100ron petrol
1992 to 1994 were 240ps,1994 to 1996 were 260ps and the rest were 280ps.
Looks like a nice car just make sure you run it on either Optimax or Super unleaded as they dont like our standard 95ron Unleaded

yup i checked the chassis numbers against the sidc faq and its 280ps (276bhp)

the bloke said it was running fine on regular unleaded, although i will be using optimax and probably a octane booster for "occasions when nessacary"

mate says its got the alloy bonnet and boot?
he did most of the looking over as i didnt really know what to look for, he says he went to open the bonnet and nearly ripped it off lol

must wiegh less
cant wait now lol, aperntly the loan should be transferd for thursday, then i work niteshift thursday nite and finnish friday morning for a long weekend off, must be luck!!

i hear what your saying lol
i havent picked the thing up yet!
i will be running super, its only done 2000 mile in the uk scince november so its unlikely its done any damage, plus the owner doesnt seam to be a big "thrash" kind of bloke, hes more intrested in sweet clean standerd cars to sell, rather then rag the **** of them b4 he passes them on

lol ive just got these for £40, apaerntly they were on sum scooby, by the looks of the finnish it might have been sum track day car cos there a bit ruff, then they were sold to sum lad with a legacy, who found that they didnt fit as they stuck out to much??

then my mate bought them as he new i was putting a deposit down, he works for quickfit so sourced me sum 215/45/17 tyres for nothing lmao

what do u make of them?? i rekon there a bit to hardcore for my liking lol

might get em powder coated grey??
anybody ever done anything like this??

If they are the light weight version then keep them. Get them cleaned and they will look good on the White Rex.
