Give us an idea of budget and what you want to use the car for an I'm sure people can devise, also what plan for mods etc?

Just go for a standard unmolested STI and keep it standard,

apart from may be a suspension upgrade ie. bigger ARB


WR1 comes to mind. :whistle:

Agree with 'E' wr1 is a good choice for an all round performer:ok: or perhaps RB320 of you want another hawk.

Depends on what takes your fancy shape wise really. There's a few nice P1's for sale if you fancy a classic.

I like the look of hawkeyes but I'm not fussed really just want that burble back:cry:. Looking at 5-7k money wise at most . I want a good model to give me a good base for mods. Also what is considered low mileage for a scoob

Jason73 01-07-2012 01:45 PM

Also what is considered high mileage for one as well as don't wanna be spending a fortune on repairing it

Shame about your one mate. As above get a niced clean STI, and then work from there. Ive still not touched my engine really, worked on handling and stopping power.

Try and find a White STI Bug...

Granby 01-07-2012 01:58 PM

I'd also say start with a STi, better base with stronger engine, better brakes etc

Don't take this the wrong way but if you do get another scooby maybe get some driver tuition at a track day and hopefully I won't have to give you a lift home again lol
