New Person!!!
 

Hi new member from North Warkwickshire.

Not got a Subaru yet, very nearly made a mistake and travelled to Cheshire to look at a car, compounded with nearly travelling to High Wycombe, but thanks to the information on here and other forums about the dealers in question have restarted my search. I'm looking to buy (I think - 2/3 weeks of research has brought me to this!) a JDM Sti Widetrack blobeye really want to find one under 60,000 miles unfortunately all the ones I've seen are from either the 2 dealers in Cheshire or the one in high Wycombe that I've been warned off of.

Will want to make sensible mods to the car to bring it up to about 450 bhp, it won't be a daily driver, so will be looking through the forums for best advice.

Have owned other Japanese sports cars, supras, mitsi 3000gt/gto's but never an Impreza nearly brought a classic in 2000, but went for an e36 m3 instead.

Hi Mate, welcome to SES.

Anyone have any experience with the dealer? It's a little more than I wanted to spend, but it's a spec c?

Also would it be sacrilegious to put a standard Sti rear spoiler on?

Not a dealer I've heard of, a quick search of the interweb will hopefully give you some idea of what they're like.
I'd swap the spoiler as well although probably easier to pick up a complete spoiler/boot lid assembly and just swap them. You can keep the other one in case you ever want to swap it back. Other than that it looks nice, just needs to be red rather than blue lol

Looks a very good car - Worth getting it Mapped to suit UK fuel as soon as possible to avoid any risks. The car will only really need injectors, air filter, turbo, exhaust (I'd keep the Genome back box though) and fuel pump to see 400-450 without any real issues. If you plan to push the car (track) consider a FMIC as well.

I'd keep the OEM rear boot and spoiler as mentioned above - maybe get a replacement boot & spoiler from a breakers if you want a high level spoiler (I'm not 100% sure but I think the Spec C boot lid is lighter), probably get some fog covers as well.

Hi and welcome good luck with your search :doubleup:

Looks a very nice example that one :ok:

Welcome :wave:

Spec C looks very nice, good miles on it too. I'd keep it in that spec, rather than bolting on all the heavier bits that Subaru removed to make it lighter ;)
