"First To See Will Buy" ..... whenever I see those words I know there is something wrong, desperation has set in .........

Lots of money spent on the wrong areas. They are indeed classic sti seats and the general state of the car looks very poor, especially the front bumper that has been butchered to allow the fitment of that mahoosive front mount.
It maybe very very very fast, but I wouldn't buy it, no matter what price.

Looks like it, anyone who can put that much effort into making it quick could surely spend a few £££ on cleaning it up. I thought my Gc8 engine bay was a little messy, that just looks like its never been looked after.

There are no bargains ...... only VERY RARELY ...... and certainly NOT from an owner such as owns this car. They know cars, they know whats what .. this is no Impreza from a 75 year old who is packing up driving and doesn't know what hes got!

Like I said, the words "First To See Will Buy" gives the game away more than anything else that is said. (If the seller was so confident in it selling, they wouldn't waste words ..... pointless words).

It will be the fastest car to the knackers yard

to me it looks a wreck from the front..scratches..bits missing..engine compartment looks manky.It will have had some right pasty in its attempt to acheive good 0 to 60 times.Not for me unless i had a big wedge of cash waiting in the wings to replace all the stressed out parts
