RAC Dont do mechanical inspections anymore...

for a car of that age a compression test is probably a piece of mind thing than a nessesity... just because it has good compression today doesnt mean it wont do a big end tomorrow... thats the way i see it anyways.

i would trawl the workshops thread, once you find the/a car your keen on, organise one of the workshops to inspect it as they know all the bugs and bits to look for on most subis.

For me, when i was lookin at cars to purchase not long ago, it cost me a bit of money to have them inspected but saved me buying 1 rebirth/dodge repaired sti & another that just seemed to good to be true.
