Ok been down to see the chap at Jap performance, i've semi done the deal but my fathers in the motortrade & is going to give the car a look over just to make sure its ok.

Oh whilst i was in the area thought i'd nip over to the Keighley place just to compare, what a disaster, the only thing they have is Quantity and thats it! The 'sales-team' were dressed in jogging pants & hooded addidas tops

Oh i was told by the chap at jp that the STI i liked is near to 278bhp, is he right? i believe its a version 2.

No need to bother. Id sooner walk across broken glass than spend my money at either 'Keighley Trade Centre' or 'Torque of Keighley'. They have a repuation for dishonesty and selling the worst possible cars.
