Private

Great mods carried out but check out if cam belt change has been done
Very expensive if this goes, anyway car i reckon should be worth anywhere
between £4500 and £5800, only worth top price if car is mint and belt change
done, I am assuming that the car is a WRX. Any chance you can get it to a garage to check out underneath as well. best of luck sounds pretty quick, ps
Have you checked out Insurance first.

Dont buy it

That my advise go to the www.ffoc.co.uk & buy a focus 1.6 much better mpg

12 year old car? Dunt think so, even with the mods.

fast bloke

what would scooby do

Avoid anything with a dump valve

OK :

Will check out the belt change.

Insurance isnt really an issue as I have a skyline at the mo, which i would be swapping the skyline for the scoob and £1k.

My car details are here : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ADME:B:LC:UK:1

And whats wrong with dump valves??

Im also considering this one on an M plate for a straight swap :

Subaru Impreza WRX TURBO, White
Only 43,000 miles, real head turner,

Brand new STI 6 spoiler (£350), new clear indicators all round, lexus rear lights, Ohlins suspension, full WRC Graphics

HKS Blow off valve and HKS Induction kit,17” TSW alloys, full wrc decal kit (new),Cat 1 Alarm (£700)

Approx 280 bhp,enthusiast owned for the last 18 months, oil changed every 3000 miles, serviced @ Thames Valley Motorsport, new uprated oil pump. Last serviced @ 40,000 miles, car has always been run on Optimax and Millers octane booster.

Sony head unit, JL Audio 6.5” in front doors, vibe digital amplifier, vibe twin 12” subs in enclosure, 2400 watts

Is there anything on scoobs i should look for in particular?

Big ends, they knock and they cost. As do melted pistons.

Any more sensible comments now its morning?

Would it be a fair deal for both parties on both of the cars mentioned above?

filfy

Sizer that's a cool looking skyline and i would part x it for WRX if i were you

Looks like the muppets broke out the hutch and bombarded your thread

Sizer

Which WRX though, older with welly and £500-£1k or a bit newer with stickers?

filfy

With graphics

Swap sounds good, try keeping the extra grand in your pocket though,
good luck sounds great deal.

i dont think is worth to swap, as its a M reg, its a import, it only worth no more than 5k even with mods....

Cheers fir the help, just got back in and bought one, picking it up tomorrow :

P plate, UK model, mint bodywork/wheels/interior. Cobra seats, new magnex exhaust and full service history on 85k miles...Price £4500, seemed reasonable to me!
