Default Back to the fold with a sti spec D - Few questions!

Hi guys been a while since ive owned an impreza, wasnt really looking for another as ive got a young baby now but couldnt resist this at a bargain price.
56 plate impreza wrx sti spec d, totally standard, one owner who bought from subaru, totally standard, 69k miles, fully stamped history, had cambelt done etc.
hpi clear, bought for £5100 . Due an oil change and needs £200 spending on bodywork to make mint.
Runs lovely apart from on low down revs it vibrates through car as if its in wrong gear, never had a 2.5 so not sure if it should be like this? Engine is spot on so no probs there, wondering if it could be clutch/prop shaft issue.
Also how many cats do they have? Its dead quiet so want to decat

Well at least buying that cheap, you can get the headgasket changed when they go! Lol

You shouldn't get a vibration thru the car.

There's a lot more sound proofing on a spec d. That was part of the audience they were trying to attract. Sti performance minus the big spoilers, bright colours and loud engines and exhausts.

That's why I like mine so much, all the go but not the show. Quite a sleeper some might say.
