Default Hello: opinions on 208 WRX needed!

Hi guys,

I am thinking of getting 2008 WRX with CNG conversion (done by official distributor), with only 30k KM on the clock.
What do you expert owners think? Any experience with gas conversions? Here price of CNG is 1/2 of petrol, so it is quite worth it.

I also cant find any equipment or pictures for 2008 WRX, do you guys have some pictures so I can see the interior? I am most interested in seats, etc.

btw - i relize WRX is not STI. It actually suits me perfectly, I need smaller car that is daily driver. Choice would be between this and low engined A3 or 1 series, and I would rather spend money on suspension and engine than nice plastic interior.

Since Subaru stopped selling WRX in Europe for 2010, I cant find any equipment lists for them either .

thanks a lot for opinions!

gas conversions are ok but subaru cylinder heads do not like it unless you've got a drip feed oil system for the valves. seen quite a few heads need allot of work after a couple thousand miles, there turns out not to be any valve clearances so they wont run right.

Personally i'd be sticking with petrol

I am no so concerned about gas - it is actually dedicato BRC kit warrantied by Subaru Italia, special built for this vehicle and warrantied by Subaru.
