Hi everyone,

also what are the common faults you get with them?...was there many on the 94 shape? etc...

some pre buying advice would be great, iam looking to get this if all goes well next week so any help would be wonderfull

many thanks

sorry its a 93

 

Sounds good to me if its an auto you need

 

id want them to be showing me a reciept for all the work done, id be very surprised if it was running 300 to be honest.

as its auto its not worth as much as a manual, id suggest not paying more than £1200.

I'm sure there was a chap selling a mint auto wagon on here for around £1200, not so good if you don't want a wagon, but worth a look. I'll see if I can dig out the link.

 

thanks guys, i feel a bit more confident now,

its the 4 door saloon version hes selling with the 2.0L wrx turbo lump, not the wagon, so in regards to that, are there any things to look out for which could indicate its been driven badly?

*and yeh definatly looking to see some reciept's regarding this re-mapp and "tune" business stating 300bhp...

 

Things that would put me off are the sticker kit, the 6" tailpipe, the loud large dump valve and the claim of 300bhp. Just sounds like its been modified with cheap bits found on eBay. Doesn't mean it has been, just sounds that way to me.
Things I would want to know to help validate bhp claim are what turbo is on it, injector size, what exhaust is actually on it from turbo back, is it de-catted and who mapped it?

 

its a 16 year old car, expect it to look and drive like a 16 year old car and you'll be fine.

 

Sounds ok to me and being Auto will mean the engine has never really had the guts kicked out of it to be honest!

Just maike sure you listen to the bottom end for any knocking from cold to warm is if you can hear that walk away!

 

agree with SAINT AA...i wouldnt pay more then 1700...i no some 1994 wrx`s came with a td05 turbno and z4 ecu whjich tuk them to 260bhp.i would be suprosed if tht was a 300bhp auto

 

Why did he flush the engine?
As for Green pads (i guess they are EBC) they aren't suitable for standard Imprezas never mind ones running '300bhp' and no brake upgrade.

 

wrx Autos are a great everyday car mines been great for 3years and they are surprisingly quick for auto. I would defenatly cahnge the pads to atleast ebc ceramic reds because it will be verry hard on the brakes.
make sure you check all fluids including the auto box it should be a nice clean red and not smell of burning (the boxs are great but if they do go wrong is going to be pricey )
any other questions just ask

 

Whats a WR1 wheel arch kit?
