interested find while diggin through scoobynet seems a forum member had it at one point.
https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...v4-1998-a.html

so does this all add up? cause the dealer is stating its got 76k on the clock, all that mileage in a year? or are the clocks still reading km which would make it 47k mileage. Any thought?

Cheers minty

I wouldn't straight swap your 2003 Sti for an older type r. Your blobeye Sti has the better chassis, engine, cylinder heads AVCS, turbo, gearbox and brakes over the type R, so what would you gain?.
