Cheers dean, yeah full with messages from people wanting to buy the car LOL. Timmy2take - Many thanks for your kind words. Hopefully it sticks around a little bit longer LOL.

LOL, noted, this was originaly written as recent service, i must of added all this into one section. I will amend this on the sale advert many thanks for picking this up.

Car goes on sale this weekend £4750, after a full valet and some new pictures.

It pains me to say this but, just gauging interest on my car, which might be up for sale shortly due to buying my first house. This is a reluctant sale and I am in no rush to sell this car. I know how good it is and how well maintained it is. Anything which needed doing has been done. I truly love this car and have had almost 3 years of enjoyment; car covers around 3000 miles a year. * JDM Limited edition (28/1000) Subaru Impreza WRC Version 5 Type RA * 71,540 miles, MOT 7 months, TAX 9 months * HPI Clear * Imported from Japan March 2003 * RA upgrade including lightweight glass and Aluminium body panels (Inc Bonnet) * New Version 6 rear Spoiler * Quick steering rack * Group N Close ratio 5 speed gearbox * ABS (Optional Extra) * LTD edition Blue Alacantara buckets seats * Prodrive Boot mat * HKS dump value (Quiet) * De-cat down Pipe * HKS Silent Power exhaust System * Climate Control * Air conditioning (Optional Extra) * JDM option Electronic folding wing mirrors * Full crystal headlights * Upgraded Blue/Ice White Headlight bulbs * Clear Sidelights & Indicators * Genuine STI Mud Flaps * 16" Lightweight Genuine Subaru gold alloys + Toyo Proxes T1-Rs * Cobra CAT 1 alarm & immobiliser + Certificate * Remote Central locking * Momo steering wheel * Power steering * Alpine Sound System * Factory Tinted rear windows * Cheap tax (12 months £190) The car has the original Japanese manual & Service Book with Japanese service history.

The car being just over 11 years old it does have the usual small stone chips on the bonnet etc… and there are two scratches on the rear quarter, so have priced the car accordingly to sell.

Many thanks for all your help, i have checked the wiring and it looks as if one of the cables is a bit chewed. Can someone point me in the right direction for a new Speed converter/De-limiter? Many thanks

Yeah if you can please, that would be a great help. Many thanks. paul.thompson@medway.gov.uk

Thats correct my car is My98 (Sept 98 - August 99) It does have the original KMPH dial face with the K blanked out. I will have a look at the wiring. It might just be a loose connection? I will have a look. Failing that i will but a new de-limiter/speed coverter and get that fitted.

Many thanks, yeah its lovely to drive. I really do love this car.

The dials go up to 160MPH, When i have my Sat Nav installed the speed is about 8 or 9 mph out.

Hi guys, I have owned me Subaru for a few years now and am very happy with it. The car has been converted to MPH, but the car still seems to be limited to the standard 112MPH. I have taken my car to performance engineering and they said I already have a delimiter and converter in place. Has anyone got any ideas why the car is still limited? Is the converter/delimiter faulty? Any help will be much appreciated. Many thanks

Just want to say how nice it is to have a trustworthy, and friendly service. Many thanks Dean for sorting my Subaru out. I would recommend Dean to anyone not just Subaru owners. If you need your car sorted out Dean is your man. Many thanks Dean. Below is his website http://www.larkins-autoservices.com/ A pic of my car:

I think your right, it is slightly more £245 for the year, but not sure if this will be increased to the massive £400 odd for the year. Not sure how it works.

Thanks for your comments, i feel more pulled to the version 8 for a more refined and comfortable drive. So i will think about it for a month or so then go from there. Would you say the Version 8 is better to live with being a bit more refined? Has anyone got any pictures of there version 8 Scoobies? This would help me decide. Thanks again guys.

Hi, i have a bit of a dilemma. Hope someone can advise. I currently have a My98 WRX Type RA WRC 555 LTD edition Subaru. It’s done almost 86K with part service history. It does drive lovely but i have a bit of money to spend and I don’t know whether to sell up and get a version 8 Subaru or modify and improve my current car? I know that because of the age of my current Subaru it has some small car dings, which are really annoying, and I think will need a new clutch, and radiator shortly. Can anyone help? I have some pictures of my current car below Many thanks, all opinions welcome.

Cheers guys, thanks will give Deano a call.
