Spoke to the guy yesterday an he says he wants 3250 for it, not sure if I'd go that on due to the miles. Be tempted if he'd take 2! I do like red barons, keep coming back to look at it an the mileage is a winner but the arches worry me as people advise it can b pricey.

JGM remap and, as Chris says, some nice bits.

Worth investigating I would suggest. Have a chat with Matty4113 on SS. He picked up a nice one of similar age recently.

Very sound advise, heard back from Subaru4U yesterday and they advised that according to their records they only fitted a fuel pump and a set of shell bearings.

Looks like another one to steer clear of.

They can all be pricey, I know of a mint 50'000 miler that threw a shell just after being sold. The arches don't bother me too much although I may get them sorted when funds allow. If you're interested give me a shout, I'm in no rush to sell it as the job is secure now but if someone made me a sensible offer I may be tempted. Will be getting an oil change and a new in the next week or 2.

Hi all, thought I would provide a quick update....

Im now the proud owner of a wrx bug eye! Not what I set out to get as I really wasnt keen on the bug but its had the morette headlight conversion an ive gotta say I think it looks pretty mean...



Appears to hav been well looked after an came with fsh and loads of paperwork . Has a few mods already but nothin major, induction and exhaust, sti spoiler (needs sprayin as not a perfect colour match but a mate of mines a sprayer so thats top of my to do list) and it's been re-mapped by scooby clinic. Not sure on the power but been told it shud b about 270-80? Certainly pulls well anyway!

Went to view it on wednesday las week an ended up pickin it up last friday. Had it down a mates garage for a check over the next mornin with a thumbs up from him so all good. Was gonna post this sooner but hav been in the car every spare moment since I got it!
