Thanks guys, I don't remember who I spoke to at MMS but I believe it was someone who knows what they're talking about cos the guy who picked up the phone said to me that he'll get the guy who knows all about the older sti's to call you back. Yes the guy knew it had done 17000kms...it seemed crazy to me. He said "hand on heart, if you get a tune and an exhaust next week we'll be getting you a new 6 speed transmission"...

Anyway he basically said just leave it as it is or it will break, but I reckon a tune and an exhaust is a must for this car. What do u mean by watching the flywheel?

It was such a rare find, I was about to pull the trigger on a C63 with a performance pack but saw this- shows you how much I love the old sti's...
