It is indeed lots of fun to drive, with summer on the way and people driving with windows down the screamer pipe will be handy

Nice car.. its been owned by 4 different people on this forum. The second owner put the HSD's in, and the fourth owner rebuilt the HSD's. So those coilovers are nice and fresh.

I couldn't find the ad for the original owner, but see below. The second owner purchased it from the original owner as a nice tidy stockish STi.

Second owner selling it:

Third owner selling it:
http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/sale-car...ti-low-ks.html

Fourth owner selling it:
http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/sale-car...2-wrx-sti.html

Give it a good tidy up and enjoy!

The ride is definitely great, just need to put the rear swaybar back in, i also popped the rad cap this morn to find all brown gunk and no coolant .... makes me fill like an idiot for taking it for a short spin after i picked it up, so full flush and new coolant as per instructions found on this forum, never done it before so it should be fun !

I actually bought this car from DBLDOSE as he is a friend of mine, and did indeed follow the history of it all through this forum, its good to know its been owned by enthusiats from the get go, though it seems to have been a little neglected at the moment.

Edit: oh and from being a member on antilag for a while i know of Thodds reputation for never boosting it, after seeing how insane it is when on full boost, i understand why !

Welcome mate, nice ride!

Went through the same issues you did re: exhaust and BOV.

Invest in a nice twin tip exhaust to lower the volume and go back to the factory BOV.

Your ears, headaches, and fuel consumption 're: BOV', will thank you for it

this car is pretty heavily modified. I doubt the exhaust muffler change and BOV change would be a simple swap over... and the car is probably pretty well tuned, having been worked on by Sean.

Nice purchase... looks like it's in need of a bit of a clean up, and I'd raise it a little bit as it looks crap tucking the rims like that, but, still a nice car!

Agreed, it sits way too low for practicality
