Nice one Richard. I love mone, but I think you'll be adding a few to the bad points soon to include - noisy, uncomfortable, tiring, etc
But then on the Great Points you will be sure to include - fantastic drive, puts a smile on your face every time you get to drive (unless commuting).
Glad you are enjoying it so far

Hi Terry - yep, once the car is running properly it will be a great toy!
I owned a very similar car in 2004, but unfortunately has to sell (cash flow).
This STi RA is much cleaner, and once Scoobyclinic have had it for a few days, I am sure it will "reward" me
Plan to compete at Loton Park in August.
