hi all just new here

forum looks great.

i am just about to px my car for a uk turbo wagon but have had some second thoughts.

i would just like someone with the knowledg to help me out here.

car has high miles 125,000 and its 1996,but the car has just had a new engine fitted (full top end from subaru) fitted by hypertech and backed up by a full receipt of £3500 inc labour also with new rad etc

the car is very very clean and has had a full respray in its origonal colour so is in very good condition.

everything els is spot on.

the way i was looking at it was the engines gonna last me a long time but having second thooughts.

what yous think ??

cheers

also whats a rough valuation of this car,i had a look but the prices vary so much on ebay and piston heads.

the guy who owns it said its worth about £3500 ??

just dont wanna get ripped off with a px for my shogun

Hello and welcome :D

C'mon the wagons!!!! :)

Any pics or further spec of the car?

I love my wagon but there will be others along who know more about the classics.

All I can say is if the work was done by Hypertech then you have nothing to worry about.

You can do a search for them and you'll see nothing but praise.....in fact there's a current thread running!!

with a new top end fitted by hypertech you shouldnt have any worries with the engine,my concern would be that the gearbox is still ok.

i know others will disagree but i reckon 3500 is pretty high for a 96 uk turbo wagon with high miles-id be thinking 2200,but thats without seeing the spec condition of the car

but you wont regret getting a scoob mate,just make sure its the right one

yes i have been wanting one for the last 10-15 years :D and finaly got the chance of one,so thought i would get shot of my 4x4 and try get a nice scoob :) now am at a reasonable age for insurance

:)

Posted

yes cheers

am not put off i was just curious as to how well the engine would hold out after the work, but having read a few posts on here i can see hypertech are a highly thought of crew.

just looking forward to getting car now to be honest :D:)

yea,thats quite a long way from standard mate! looks very nice! has it the wrx interior,ie bucket seats?

with the work and mods on it makes it much harder to price so 3500 maybe isnt too far away-if your happy with it go for it!

Posted

yes it has the bucket seats with grey inserts, pod gauges etc etc

yes i am going with it :) will post up some better pic swhen i get it :rotfl:

unsure on what power its got but i read that standard they have 208bhp so thinking it might have about 215 or summit.

will try get it on the dyno :huh:
