Default Does anyone know any information on this gc8

My friend owns a scooby from a member on here and we are just wondering if there are any engine modifications done internally?

It's a silver gc8 MY183RCY

we think it used to belong to either these members

WRX RCY

OR

WRX RCY GEM

Any information would be great

The usernames are Chris and Gemma who owned the car. It was pretty good with AP's, very good alloys and some pretty tastey mods, it went well. It was very well cared for.
I have PM'd them.

Hi Yes we owned the car before the last owner. Had it for many years and a much loved car. Lots of mods were done but Dylan bought it off us and stripped everything back to standard to sell all the parts. Could possibly still have the 440 injectors but the intercooler/ rad etc I imagine was stripped off. Did have a full decat.
To be completely honest I doubt there is anything on there that we had done.
Sorry couldn't be much more help

Cheers mate, was there any engine mods done like internals that you did? That might be still inside the car?

No there wouldn't be. I think it would have changed owners 3 times now since we sold it.

I only took the brakes off. And to be honest it's probably best for all parties they have proven to be completely unsafe. I changed the engine for a std Wrx unit for that year and sold it to mervs mate. Also took the leaking Teins off and fitted some genuine Prodrive Billsteins b
