Well done mate, just read your other thread on the deposit scam and p reg scoob. Its hell trying to find I nice one of these for that money........ I know I just bought a terzo a few months ago. Bet your glad you didn't get the other one now!

Nice looking car.

Thanks for all the replies, glad I got this one and at £4995 I think I got it for a very good price seeing as similar ones in this week's Autotrader are ranging from 6-8k

The previous owner was a heating engineer so that may explain the copper pipe, not sure what the standard one is made from though.

The car may have been featured on here before as it came with a scoobynet sticker in the window.

You got a bargain there mate . Normally pay more than that for a wrx not an sti on that reg year.... Has it had anything done apart from the obvious.

my m8 was gonna buy this off here, was 3hours late ..........lol

I was very lucky to get in there and arrange to go and look at it as he had loads of people call up after trying to buy the car.

yam - Only mods are a thicker adjustable rear ARB, some polybushes, braided brake hoses and pagid pads, an Apex'i cone filter and a decat downpipe.

I'm not sure if the filter and downpipe give any extra power - anyone know?

~DrEaM~

go for a twin dump downpipe!! makes the car feel total different, full boost @ around 3k rpm!!!

JimVVC

Is it a pain to fit?

A fine looking v4

Came into scooby ownership the same ways as myself via a FD3.

I had a 93 Type R1 in black before i got my 98 STi 4 nearly 6 yrs ago now and i still have her

Nice car mate.

If the car already has a decat down pipe forget the twindump. The twindump is a decat downpipe and it's quite possible your downpipe is just that and maybe not.
I'm serious when i say don't go booting it all over the place till you find out that the car is safe to run in it's present state. A knock link is a must when running an import with a decat. Also super unleaded only with octane booster.
Very nice BTW

Brun

...............and the downpipe will be good for a few extra horses but not as many as a lot of people will tell you

I was one of them..

would of beaten you to it if I didn't have to work

Enjoy it mate!

Downpipe will give a good dose of power (circa 15bhp). As far as someones comment on the twin dump.. check what is on there, it may allready be open mouth anyway so no point changing it.

I'd be inclined to get it mapped on a power FC (more for safety on our fuel) Also do some research (search on here) regarding MAF testing and make sure it's ok (and check frequently)
