Hi Chris. welcome. I have a 94 WRX myself and am fairly limited when it comes to accurately giving data. There are loads of sites offering guidelines and the best place is here on scoobynet with any questions you may have.


Hope all goes well.

Cheers for the welcome guys...

That link on sidc is quite informative, ta!

Next question: Where is the best place to get a workshop manual? And what types are available??


Oh, my current car is an XR4x4, got a few mods.... but she's getting a bit old these days, and a constant 15MPG isnt fun!
Gonna miss that V6 tho...

Haynes don't do one , you may get some kind of CD rom from e-bay but I don't know how good they are . Lots of help on here though , try a search for any specific problems and it's sure to have been covered before . Oh and as for missing that 'v6' I don't think you'll be that upset
