Yet Another Newbie

[20kendo]

Hi to all in Scottish Scoobieland, now on scooby no.4 my first turbo model, no real

idea what i've bought just took a shine to the idea of a tiptronic gearbox! tis an import

going by the massive over the top description of euro type e model 20k- hence the login

name 20kendo- does seem to be genuine enough, quick google seach seems to show

most of them have ended up in new zealand! Tis a my01, never heard of the tiptronic

option from any other model year, could mean the gearbox is a complete turkey? guessing

it's from the legacy twin turbo who know's, any old sage's out there know what i have?

Model code GGAA58T would appear to be newage wagon 5 door 2l turbo , engine is EJ205

which shows as a non JDM engine on another forum? not sure what to make of that, car is

an import in the uk since 2003.

See there is a meet in hillington thursday, bit o luck meet a few of you there!

Welcome to the site!

That's a very rare car you got there! Not many of them have made it to the UK!

Feel free to correct me on any of this info:

245bhp (based on the WRX)

only 50 of these were made. all bugeye wagons, with the JDM HiD Headlights! with option of either 5 spd manual or the fancy 4sp tiptronic which is fitted to yours..

Your particular one (GGAA58T) was the later batch made between September 01 and October 02

Well worth looking after!

I hope you get your snags with posting pics sorted out.........I am gagging to see this car of yours.

Welcome to the forum, by the way

Thanks for the welcome mate, for sure it's a rare un! told there's 2 in uk who know's

if there were only 50 or not! Told its a motor show dealer special, also appears to be

have been a 20n version available without the turbo. No hid xenon lamps on mine

either must have been on the options list, for sure a WRX with some trick bits, told

it's an STI motor with variable valve timing, don't know for sure other that tis a EJ205!

does feel fast enough to impress me though, am a biker used to a v-max.
