I don't know loads about them but i was going for an Evo 8 but it has always been the Impreza that floated my boat so im going for a 2003 STI hopefully in black or silver.
Ive made some enquiries in the for sale area of this forum and hopefully will be doing a deal very soon.

Get one with PPP (Prodrive Performance Pack) and get proof of this with a certificate. If like the silver one it's been modified then make sure there are receipts etc to back up the claims.
They are cracking cars otherwise, just the usual checks like history, look for accident damage etc.

Subaru : WRX STI TYPE UK WITH OPTIONAL TSL 333 PACK
Don't listen to those who tell you to go PPP. All you get is a sudden rush of boost which does not equate to a driveable car. Also, if you are looking at a 2003, the warranty will have expired anyway. Have a look at mine above - flying machine, immaculate and loads of fun.........for not much money. I am in Glasgow if you are interested.

Mine is a black 03 sti ppp - see my pics
Very nice car, whatever anyone says, Scoobys are up there with Evo's, plus for the money you'll get a better spec'd Subaru than an Evo, plus slightly less running costs.
Ive seen a few nice examples around, for around 11k-13k you'll get a cracking one.

pmsl...why is that mate? Is it because you have a car for sale by any chance
Ive read your for sale pitch, and tbh, whilst TSL are a 1st class company, a sti ppp can easily be brought upto what perofrmance you have for around £600
Ive also read the stats in your piston ads pitch, they are exactley the same for the sti ppp, and yours is 25-30bhp more
Fair enough, your trying to sell a car, but your really starting to ram it down ppl's throats, if its as good as it says, it'll sell.
And as for the sti ppp not being driveable car???? wtf...leave it out mate.

I don't suspect the difference would be much between the two. When my car was remapped, it just made things a bit smoother and (marginally) quicker.
Can't blame the guy for the sales pitch, but it's certainly making a mountain of out of a molehill

MY ADVICE WOULD BE BUY A GREY ONE (NOT SO COMMON
)AND SECONDLY BUY A STANDARD ONE FROM A DEALER .IF YOU WANT IT TO GO FASTER ALLOW IN YOUR BUDGET FOR YOUR OWN MODS (PEACE OF MIND )
