Hey mate im on my 3rd scoob now, 1st one was a WRX import and that was riddled with problems, 2nd was a uk turbo 2000 that was perfect but i stupidly sold it biggest mistake ever, 3rd is my sti RA and i love every minuet of it. Its got some problems but their getting sorted but im not gonna let this one go lol
Pauls car was well looked after mate so its well worth sticking with it, get the engine out and get a good set of gaskets, that way you wont have to worry about doing them again, also gives you the chance to clean up all the hard to reach places too
