Just a thought, this isn't the high mileage RB320 that was sold by our friends over Keighley way a while back is it?

This alleged RB320 has been discussed on the RB320 owners club a few times!
See here -

There's a couple of sub thread links, due to it being for sale a few times!

Believe it or not this isn't the first time I've heard someone say their impreza has a porsche boxster engine.
A chap tried telling me his 95 wrx had one and no matter what i said he still insisted his car had one as did mine. I ended up agreeing just so he'd stfu.
