Heyy pwrx !
 

Hey guys, I'm a student at ECU, from NOR (Darch) and currently driving a 92' Bimmer but looking to purchase a REX after admiring the bros bugeye STi quite some time now. Chasing 99-03 model within 10-14k so if your looking at selling, HMU !!

Got my eye on this particlar one but low km's and new plates are a bit sus :S

Any advice on what key things to look for when getting a REX is greatly appreciated.


Cheers,
Tony.

welcome mate & good luck with the search, 1st thing that springs to mind with that one you posted is it will probably have a deam afm form that oily k&n pod :cool:

try and find one that hasn't had ghetto mods done like pod filters, and manual boost controllers without supported ecu upgrades ;)

Thanks Strub, good tips:)

Welcome Tony,

as above, avoid poorly modded examples (i.e. you can buy a modded wrx, just one with tried n tested mods)

Enjoy perth-wrx

welcome and good luck with your search.

ps: new plates are not always a sign of dodgeyness! may have had personal plates that they wanted to keep.

my comment is funny how?

my old wrx got sold with new state plates cause i took my personal plates off... that's what i was getting at....

"NO TIMEWASTERS!! deposit will be required before test drive." On that add.

Fark Off ! Like that will happen haha.

what happens if you get rear ended with those darken tail lights, will their insurance cover you?

Thanks guys,

Still keeping an eye out but fsk's GC8 is on the cards.

Nice bugeye but not sure if those tail lights are even legal lol

Would a hybrid gearbox mean hes just used parts from multiple boxes or am i missing something?

that bug is overpriced

Pretty low KM's though for a bug.. and a decent amount of mods. I would buy it and fix the rear lights.. 16k is cheap!

Thats what I was thinking, decent mods, looks good minus the tail lights, with shit all kms, good buy IMO.

Cluster has been changed I see is that legit mileage? (eg. got FSH)

^^ not to sure, may be worth a call/txt to the seller and find out exactly how many kms/ if they are original, judging by what has been done in the way of mods, 16K is cheap, and I am sure you can drop a few $$ off that price...best of luck hunting :)

He's not interested in buying a GC8 he just wanted to peddle his 300,000km polished every fortnight bunky.
