Got me car at last!!!
Hi all i have been lookin for a nice standardish uk turbo for a while , and i finally got one last sat its a 97 r-reg, done 46k and has a full dealer history . It already had an magnex cat back system and im planing the rest of my mods now .
One question thoe it sometimes doesnt start first turn of the key,only in the cold weather (ie tonight and last night?) .
Any ideas ladies and gents?

Made the same move myself (5th gen to MY00 Turbo), the best descision I have ever made. It was fun from 5000rpm round to 7500rpm, but this thing can actually go round corners! A much more satisying and rewarding drive.
Sorry can't answer your question, although you do know not to press the accelerator whilst turning the ignition don't you?
If you don't get any luck here try and find a specialist to talk to in your area (normally very friendly and helpful).

Yep: Don't press the pedal; the car takes car of this for you!
You do also know about warming up and cooling the car off don't you? Don't wish to be patronising, but they are very imp issues!
Best.

Have you got an induction kit fitted? I have heard of starting problems with these fitted. Otherwise check the basics - battery, plugs leads coil etc. Should be something simple. Maybe do a search for 'starting problems' or something to that effect.
Good luck.

I guess i've never pushed the accelerator whilst starting the car!

Hi Dan,
So was I the first or the second person to wave? I'm the ugly bugger (in the WR Blue MY02 WRX) who you followed through Bedford up to Tescos
Cheers
