In regards to putting pics up on here you need to open a free photobucket.com account.

All you do is upload your pics to photobucket.com then copy and paste the links or image codes onto here.

Awesome thanks for the help, I'll upload a few pics later !
As for the car 1995 WRX, Import, engine wise, bhp is unknown but was told, engine seems ok, I know I keep mentioning I don't know much about scoobys, to be honest, I know the basics of an engine in any car, ie Maintenance ! So when driving it home yesterday, it was all NEW noises, I bought it from a woman who sold it due to splitting with her fella, it was his car! So for £1500 I snapped it up, was MOT'd and car looks lovely, started first time, and got home from Halifax to Birmingham all ok. I just don't want to feel ripped off, as £1500 is a lot of money to me, but I've always wanted one! And don't mind learning new stuff, and add things to car overtime. I'm now a Scooby Owner and it feels EPIC :-)

Welcome mate. Don`t worry about not knowing much about them. When I first joined I knew squat....still don`t really but I know a man who does

Don`t know if this link will work without being signed in but it`s a good guide for Photobucket...

Welcome, Looks like £1500 well spent, Not sure about the graphic's but if you like em then who gives a fck.
When ever I buy a car I have it checked out by my garage and have it serviced 1st thing for piece of mind.

All the best fella

Rich

Looks nice mate. If you want a bit more info about your car put some pics up of the engine and interior.

From the pictures the head/rear/indicator lights are aftermarket. So is the splitter/skirts/rear bumper/spoiler's/wheels/bonnet and roof vents.

The VIN number, which is located under the bonnet on passenger side strut really helps if you want to find more info regarding engine/gearbox/paint code..ect
