Had a wee look yesterday....anyone know the story wi the Turbo'd Integra wi NOS ? certainly looks the part. Plenty of Scoobys in , 3or4 2 door jobbies wi diff control etc Type R 's ?? no badgeing on any of them...bit shady.
Main reason for visit was to look at a white sti wagon , never really looked closely at one before mainly regarding rear space...anyone any experience with one ..got two hounds and two bairns ye see.


I know naebody really has a good word for Calders!!!i was just having a wee nosey honest.(I've had a WRX & GT4 from him with no probs unlike the STi I bought from Mckays..jumped up t*sspot)

Thumbs up

Ive bought a 300zx and now on a wrx from these guys. Yes both cars have gone wrong some way or other.

Do i trust them? Yeah maybe. There selling technique is not to tell you anything if you dont ask which is fair enough. I wish they had told me to use octane booster and get a knock link but nope - i blew my engine up and learnt the hard way. I think they mean well and are just trying to make a good living.

I think you just have to make your own judgement and do your research on the car your buying. You could get a peach or you could get a dog of a car. Its the luck of the draw!!

I hope you get a peach.

Good luck

I have a Wagon, it has a twin sub box and a large amp in the boot and still leaves plenty room for shopping bags and other rubbish the girlfriend picks up during a days marathon shopping. So go for a wagon, also the rear seats fold down which is a bonus.
Hope this helps

Well mine's a 5 door STI2 which accomodates the misses, 2 kids and 1 dug. Best hatchback in the market! The kids howl "go faster dad" and the dug hits the floor and thinks "keep the centre of gravity low as dad says..."

And you've got the roof bars for the roof box too...don't know what peeps think when I overtake at 1**+mph up the A9 with the dug peering out the back window....!

Oh, and I still use it as the work machine with the back seats down to pick up things from B&Q, Ikea, Makro, Maccess etc...you get the picture...All with 280+bhp to get me home....loverly

I went out to Calders to look at a wrx. Asked for a test drive, and the guy took me for a 4 minute spin, wouldn't even let me drive it.

So...no sale there !

Yeah - brave man or just a bit silly maybe.

Never seen one of the infamous unmarked police cars yet (as far as I know!) but have to admit to worrying in case I've passed one after every journey!

I took a WRX RA for a 4 min test drive a few months ago. Very fast but it was really scruffy looking inside and out. Got it back, asked if i could look under the bonnet, he mumped and moaned then sed ok. He went away and left me standing there like a ****!!! Didnt even come back to ask what i thot!!!
