jim dbm Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Finally got my hands on my classic version 3 sti today met stewart from sc imports in lennoxtown to pick the car up after it flew through its mot and was the first time i had seen it in the flesh, delighted with it, not a mark on it, but its filthy, looks like its been lying for ages still has the writing on the windscreen etc from the auction in japan, interior is immaculate, engine bay is spotless and totally standard even has the standard exhaust, was looking forward to spending tonight starting to fully valet it with the stuff iv bought from polished bliss, clay bar kit etc but the weather has put paid to that. forgotten just how immense these cars are to drive felt so tight and very quick on the drive back its only covered 40k and engine is really quiet, had a couple of cars trying it on on the m9 was good to press the pedel in 5th and just take off and leave them in my wake. anyway will get pics up once iv finished washing/claying/polishing and then will have to get my full decat fitted cheers.
colzo Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Glad your happy with your new toy mate. Is SC Imports based in Torrance per chance?
frank c Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Good to hear jamie.. looking forward to the pics mate. Enjoy your new toy
sti pretender Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Know the feeling getting a new toy especially a V3 STI. Stewart is a top bloke and finds good cars. Bit of advice, might be worth changing the hoses. Duncan at Hypertech has seen a few imports that have had perished hoses recently mine being one. Vaccum pipe broke and I ended up running without any boost control, great fun for a couple of laps of KH until the engine gave up. Enjoy the car.
