a few questions that you guys can anawer.
1-is it 265 or 275 bhp. been told both
2-was the spinny wheel thing and foglights extra,and how much
3-was the spinny whel thing worth it
4-got rid of my 19,000 mile civic type r with abp handling kit(54 plate) for £11500,cos the prices were dropping too fast(trade in)

265bhp Standard, no STi has foglights apart from the WR1, the spinny wheel thing didnt come in until 2005 on UK cars, its only available on jdm models from 03 onwards.

People say its worth it, i personally just leave mine on auto all the time.

very low miles and 04 reg, nice, and I dont think you overpaid, but you definatly didnt under-pay. But i dont understand why people buy UK cars when Japs are so much more for money! You could of bought that chaps jdm sti on here for £15k, cant remember his name someone will do tho, but its 355bhp/345ftlb of torque, and is the best looking blobeye to date! The silver one with black outlined headlights, sexy car.

Black, best (Fastest) colour.
1) 265 Standard. PPP = (book 305, reality 285-290)
2) DCCD Driver Centre Controlled Diff. 2005 models onwards. I would like it, but just to see the difference. But it's probably one gadget that would stay on Auto.
3) Some think so. Has caught a few out though.
4) Very low miles, so you paid a premium there. I think £15 would of been about right. I bought mine, when it was 12m old, 9k miles for less than that.

How you liking it?

Planning on any mods? The standard model can be improved sooooo much, with a few choice mods. Let us know if you want some info.
