johnnyr6 Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Hard to say but going on the engine bay and interior it looks like a uk car.
oz *sti* Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I could be very wrong here but I thought only imports come with a back windscreen wiper and also there is a rear fog light at the bottom of the rear bumper which has been fitted i take it to get through the sva???
z1000 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Posted July 1, 2006 Well gloing by the rest of the codes he sent me its a wrx so i think it's one to avoid !
Fonzy Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 1999 sti`s are 300bhp standard Bullsh*t there 280PS... Stay well clear!
z1000 Posted July 1, 2006 Author Posted July 1, 2006 He got the 330bhp figure by adding what he thought the exhaust and induction kit would make to the 300 he thought it had. Very sientific ! who needs a rolling road ?
