Today ive been offered a 1998 wrx saloon in white, sti rear lights,
advan splitrim wheels, extra guages, turbo timer, the car has just been imported and needs sva test etc. the car looks like it will clean up really well,
not too bothered about sva as ive got friends in the trade, so thats not really a problem,
there is a chance i can deal my 95 type RA which is pretty clean in, hopefully a straight swop, the dealer seems to like the look of my car, as it can go go straight on his pitch,

any thoughts?
cheers, Andy.

Get a drive first m8 and see if you like it..Going from an RA to a WRX standard will be a big difference in Power m8..Personal choice at the end of teh day. Just skim though auto trader and get an on pitch price for the same type of car...

Your decision at the end of the day..if it were me i would wait until he has done all the work and you see the finished project..

I have to agree with that, i had a 96 WRX RA and the only way to go after that IMO is atleast an STI.
With the longer box of the WRX over your RA, it may seem abit tame

thanks for the reply, the thought of a facelift scoob, i dont mind doing the work getting it sorted ,i would be sad to see the RA go

id love an sti but im afraid finances dont allow at the moment,the ra is ideal around town but on the motorway is does seem to need another gear, the missus does love the power and the noise, but i must be getting old!
oh decisions, descisions!

As its a 98 it will be around 260bhp with decent fuel, then after a while you could get it mapped, decent zorst ect and you would have a very nice drivable scoob that would go like ****
Thats the other side of the coin
