Question Anyone went from a classic to new shape STI (bugeye or blobeye)

Seriously thinking about changing my car and nothing is more tempting than a new(ish) STI.

Anyone around West Lothian or Motherwell fancy taking me for a spin or at least let me have a nosey around one before I start beating a path to the local Dealers?

**** off you

I've had it almost 5 years and fancy a change. A long way to go before middle age.

You're just smug after Knockhill

Cheers for the offers lads. Today's a bit hectic as I've been asked to clear a whole floor for our building by start of next week

If you've some spare time next week I'd love to take you both up on the offers. It'll give me a good comparison between a brand new model and one that's had a good level of mods done.

Stefan,

Drop by anytime,
Remember mine is JDM model, so has a different spec to the UK models.
Like HID lights, strut braces, extra power.

Yeah David, but I'd be spoilt with a JDM

Maybe I can arrange with Stephen to pop round sometime next week when it's suits everyone.

Spooks - PE are in West London! I had the exhaust & ECUTEK fitted whilst down visiting the parents at Christmas. It makes a huge improvement to the standard STI.

Ozzy - nothing lined up yet, planning to give my Ratho membership a serious working over!

Mark,

Are you still up for showing me around your STI? I'm off Friday/Monday, but any other time this week is fine if you're free.

Well I work in Livingston (up next to the Deer park), so wherever suits both of you to meet up is fine with me.

If that suits you, then we can meet up at the Beefeater. If you fancy it, I'll treat you to lunch seeing as your doing me a favour.

Stephen (sti-04),

Your welcome along if you're around and the offer of a free lunch still stands.

Stefan
