Wink Another to the Darkside

Ive been looking for a scoob for the right money for a while.Ive seen lots of crap outthere. no oil, no water, clocked milage, post accident etc etc.I was looking out for a Sti 5 ra ltd.All five of the owners i rang all had a engine rebuild at some stage .Out of character i decided to drive an evo 6.After that drive i can see why they are so desirable.So i have just bought one in japan for silly money WITH HISTORY. With a model report available i just had to buy one. I m going to miss that flat for sound

You might miss the burble at low revs, and the frameless windows, but the SCREAMING FECKIN' HOWL at 5k+ and the NON WR1 like handling () will have you hooked from the second you get out and drive it.

Top choice of motor, well done.
