Hi my names mackie and i'm a petrolholic.

I picked up a 2001 wrx today 99k, fsh, mint condition, sti interior, spolier etc

Its my first fast car and i feel like a kid, i have brainwashed my mind into 30mpg

The dealer wanted 2800 but hagled to 2400 as there is an oil leak that is leaking on the mani and burning, it smells like an austin maestro with runny bowels!

Gonna do the rocker drivers rocker cover on tuesday as i suspect it might be that as the coolant is clean and theres no white or blue smoke.

the belt has been done at 63k so i have another year for that.


Yours fraternally,

Mackie

Well i have both gaskset kits ready for tomorrow.

Doest anyone know the car its been on v21wrx as he left the old plate in the boot


Also the drivers seat (sti one) doesn't recline back up much as the passenger one. It is more reclined when fully up than the passsenger one ( the pump handle helps a touch but i/m 6'1''!)
