thanks for the welcome guys,

just uploading some now from my phone. it needs a bit of work but already i know it will be time and money well-spent. Only problem is trying to find the parts i need for it.

That looks like it should clean up nicely! As far as parts go there shouldn't really be a shortage of anything, GC8's are fairly common - just got to know where to look! Gumtree/ebay can be useful

oh and few bits and bobs on the car (I'm still unsure as to if its an original STi or just got enough parts thrown into it over the years to be up there with one).

- TD05-16G Turbo
- Turbosmart Dual Boost controller
- Turbosmart aftermarket BOV
- New Bosch Fuel Pump/Coils
- 550 injectors (also new)
- New STi Gearbox and heavy duty clutch

The GC8 is the best WRX made.

Thanks . I preferred the WRX up to '00 (but i do have a soft spot for the MY12). as for specs i only got it Friday, and it needs the power steering hose (high-pressure by the looks) and the rocker cover gaskets in order to get it registered and on the road (for now my MY06 Impreza will have to suffice)
