Default Newage STI or NOT

Looks like a WRX to me with some additions of the STI...

NO Brembos
NO Red top manifold
Smaller Scoop?
Clocks look like WRX (inverted fuel/temp gauge)
blah blah..

I only mentioned it as someone may have been done over?

can't see any red stitching on the gearlever........pity we don't see the gearlever either.

Not sure any UK STi's came in the phase 1 bodyshell with the radio mast in the a-pillar which is a dead giveaway. My money is on a tarted up My01 WRX

Just checked .......the STi was launched with the later bodyshell with the radio mast in the rear glass (The STi RA still had it in the a-pillar though).

As above........ MY01 WRX

Someone's been done

Nice one Shaun lol.

I saw it in the "listings complete" and thought initially someones got a bargain, then looked at the photos and thought hmmmm not a bad price for a decent WRX although the advert very badly misleading or plain simply a con, but according to Rob84 above its a bloody Cat car lol.... so £2500 worth then?

was on our forum for sale and we removed it for the following reasons.

This advert has been removed for legal reasons to basically cover the clubs **** as this car is a stolen and recovered CAT D> car and it is not stated anywhere in the advert.

The dials (fuel/speedo/rev etc) look like they belong in a WRX than a STI

The sill beneath the dorrs is squared off where the STI sill sticks out a bit more blade like.

If it is an STI Who would remove the brembos and stick standard subaru calipers on it?

It certainly aint coming over as an STI.
