Bailey73 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I was planning on keeping this secret until Friday's Swindon meet but it looks very unlikely that it will be ready in time as it is having a service, 4 tyres and full valet done. The garage have been fantastic and even agreed to let me remove all my aftermarket stuff on my car (Carbon riser's, skirts etc) and will also remove the performance exhaust off my car and fit it to the new one. Only JD, Parker1 and my wife knew this was being bought and they agreed to keep it under their hats - Thanks guys My new toy is a 53 plate with 28500 on the clock. Its out in the open now - so I hope you all like it
compo71 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Looks nice, is it a JDM or a uk car? Will keep an eye out for you.
Bailey73 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Cheers mate - it is a UK spec but imported from Malta..... ....drives like a dream and rapid to.

Good luck with it mate - How much is the STI going for?
kevlorn Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks for keeping it quiet mate. Good luck with it mate - How much is the STI going for? £11995 bud...........50k on the clock,tracker,turbo timer,mud flaps.................not sure if it has ppp on it,noticed the prodrive exhaust but never looked under the bonnet tbh..
Bailey73 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Thats a good price - what colour is it?
kevlorn Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 forgot,had an insurance quote for £550 fully comp ...not to bad
kevlorn Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 same colour as yours bud,,,the best colour in my opinion......lol
Bailey73 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 That isn't a bad quote considering you would be going from a sport to STi. I haven't even checked the insurance but cannot imagine it will be much more than I am paying now.
Bailey73 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 same colour as yours bud,,,the best colour in my opinion......lol WR blue is nice - Personally prefer it to any other colour.

kevlorn Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 play time tonight then? maybe get ed away from tv! what you going to play with jaqs
jd Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 glad it all sorted mate. you wont spot the difference of a PPP from under the bonnet
rae_sti Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 welcome to the sti club mate . bit like the wrx club BUT................................................ FASTER :D
kevlorn Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 glad it all sorted mate.you wont spot the difference of a PPP from under the bonnet so is there nothing i can look at steve,,or is it just the certificate thats needed to prove it.........thought i read somewhere you could tell by looking under the bonnet.....prodrive stamped on something.............any advice welcome..
jd Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 the bug eye had a blue intercooler hose. the blob eye has a prodrive exhaust with sports cat downpipe, look down past the turbo and you will see a large canister in the exhaust which should be wrapped & a certificate should be with the car.
Bailey73 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Well if it has got PPP then I really will have a bargain..... ....however, there is no burble from the exhaust - With a PPP exhaust and sports cat d/pipe you would hear it......so I think it is standard.
