thanks for the welcome guys

I know were only in september but i think it will be the start of the new year when i can get one, ive got plans for bathroom and kitchen in the house

I ve noticed with the bugeye that some have bucket seats and some have normal seats, is this to do with different models or was it a buyers option from new ??

Welcome mate AFAIK the WRX and STI both had "bucket" seats? The STI ones may be slightly different though...

Hi Dale !

Try and find a 51 plate WRX, as they are lower band for VEL ! ( tax disc).

Many WRX's get a variety of "add ons" from other models, a full STI interior may be as little as £400....

A few subtle mods and you should be VERY happy !

Mate I went from a pug 106 gti running 174 break and it was the best move ever. Get a scoob as soon as you can. Have a scan at mine. Also have a look at my run at york in the pug.

Hope to see you in a scoob soon.

a late welcome to you 2 and when you do come to buying a scoob get an sti if you can stretch to it as if your like most on here you'l end up doing mods so in the long run the sti will be cheaper to do and more powerful
