2005 blue blobeye wrx with sti bumpers and prodrive wheels looks nice cant wait the only little niggles it has are its dun 49k it has full service history but cant see any sign of a cambelt change so will need to sort that and i think the sump plug is leaking as its wet on the sump so will be sorting that out but i could be wrong are these engines comman for leaking any where in particular i dont mind replacing bits as i knw its been done then

I've had a WRX PPP for 2 years now and honestly it feels like I only bought it last week. I can't believe how much sheer driving pleasure these cars can give you. The only problem you will eventually encounter, is that you'll be yearning for more power soon enough. But do enjoy you new beast and be carefull with yobos wanting to race you and speed cams.

What was that like in terms of wheelspin/torqusteer etc?

And what do you need to do to a corsa to get 230bhp?

After a year of not having a Subaru i decided to get another one! I'm picking mine up on Saturday afternoon 2004 Blobeye WRX STi Type UK, full service history with 45k miles in silver, not to keen on the gold wheels though but they will soon be changed for black or anthracite speedline turini's

Corsa VXR's are failry new though!?! Wouldnt have thought they would of been that bad but not had 1st hand experience
Subaru's are very reliable providing they are looked after, my previous subaru was a 96 WRX Import, ok i had it rebuilt with forged pistons etc but that never let me down in the 3yrs i had it, only had it rebuilt as the original plan was to get 400bhp out of it

ummmm the cam belt has not been changed because its not due to be changed until the cars 60k service. Should really be 60k, or 60 months, whichever is sooner. Needs doing of course, but dont let it alarm you, just get it done, get it serviced at the same time and that will fix your leaky sump plug too Looking at around £350 for the service plus £150 for cam belt (from a specialist) not including pre tensioners.
