ive just bought a 51 plate gx estate, with 116k miles on it, its nothing they do double plus that without any issue, just service them regular, id suggest every 10k miles or every year regardless, and use a decent oil such as silkolene.

only negative I can say about the car on ebay (apart from the snot green colour ) the seats are from a classic and im sure that only 3 of the 5 bolts will be in use.

all the best

James

p.s. welcome to scoobynet

seats are dead easy to get hold of and change over, if you go with the correct age wrx seats lets say you should pick up a set for under £150.

it certainly looks different you'll certainly turn a few heads although i would have thought that would cost as much as a turbo to insure if you declare all the mods.

F**K that! I was pissed off with a quote for £420 recently lol

there is a nice one on impreza sport.net I have told him about you looking for one, it looks much nicer than the one you have linked to.
