M reg sti
A girl I'm seeing and her dad just got an m reg sti for a track car.
Can anyone tell me anything about them? Are they good solid engines/gearbox?
Anything to watch out for? Any good bits or bad bits?
Cheers in advance

Well the M reg ones will be the original cars, these were taken off the wrx production line and converted by STI, they are ok, not as good as the later versions but they have dogbone forged pistons, the engines are not too bad but its like any classic engine, they cannot take high power without alot being spent on them (this includes the gearbox/clutch/brakes etc).
Car will come with (from the factory) 250ps, 10ps more than the wrx of that time.
Bad bits will be the fact its an 18 year old car, it needs to be well maintained and issues like fuel surge on track could well be a problem (ks3 or the likes needs to be fitted) and the older oil pumps are not that reliable.
May need some upgrading (brakes especially will need looking at) to be a good track car.
