Grade a has now shut down, Andy has moved to Cornwall and started making cafe racer motorbikes... Everything he sold was over priced and he was very arrogant

Dealt with grade a once and some of the parts delivered were only fit for the bin and also the box they were in was burst open due to bad packing and the parts shaking about inside and when i contacted them (more than once)they said they would sort it but that was a few years ago so a lesson learnt for me and will now stick with matty.

well they are defo still in business as i was speaking to them today - so we'll see what comes of it.

I might learn the hard way but unfortuantely - the use this breaker, use that breaker etc doesnt really work when the part you are looking for isnt exactly common, the perks of owning a hatch!!

but its not a massive outlay so can risk it plus its paid via paypal

Are you looking for one for an STI or WRX or are they the same centre pipes?

1. UK seemingly doesnt include N.Ireland so i cant buy it
2. And even if i could its supposedly too big to ship to N.Ireland

yes i understand couriers think crossing the irish sea is like crossing the atlantic but senditnow.com will cover NI just like any other UK postcode

annoyed

STI one. its different from the WRX one. "grade a" have new ones listed on ebay removed from cars that i assume came from new STI cars being prepped for rally elsewhere

and the problem is made greater in that all aftermarket centre sections are different fitting location onto the rear box

but its all in hand now - just have to see what turns up from grade a

Yea, he did have back box aswell but that has gone. I find exhaust systems on Impreza's very confusing, so many variations plus china's best makes finding an exhaust that fits your car very difficult.

I've recently purchased a centre section for my sti hatch from grade A subaru on ebay. Like new condition just a little surface rust here and there but nothing really. Bargain price and prompt delivery.
