Righto, have now narrowed my choices and viewing Pedals car on Saturday and then white v2 STi in the afternoon..... Having watched some old in car footage from the Mad March run in 2005 when the Millenium Falcon was flying I think I know what I am going to go for.......... Here's a clue :- Looking forward to being an owner again and letting loose on the hallowed KH asphalt ! CGS

Remember you may need a remap and also other consumables e.g oil, filters etc VAT too ?

Loving the 80's white ! Those rims are nice too........enjoy her matey

Col - I did not realised that you started that thread until I went back and revisited it !! Thanks for the input guys - I would love to have DCCD but I think it's not top priority. I have a few dillemas this week but should be a Scooby owner again by the weekend Cheers Cal

Thanks Grant ! I am doing my wifes head in at the moment and shall be jumping on the train on the weekend to collect the "chosen one"..... w.r.t option 3 - the guy wont go below £7500 having bought a new clutch and tyres but it looks like a real nice chariot

I know but it was out of my budget --------- sweet car though !

Hit with me the spec although I think I'll view the Pedals mobile this weekend.........350 bhp is soooooo tempting

1. Pedals car 2. Strappers car 3. this white v3 STi http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/c...mp;max_mileage= 4. and the grey Sti round the corner ( no link) 5. and also been speajking to this guy :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:RTQ:GB:1123 6. perhaps this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:RTQ:GB:1123 bet you guys are getting fed up with my posts !! Cal

I know - the spec is tempting but when I asked a few pressing questions he claimed he was not an enthusisat and had bought it like with that spec. He also mentioned he bought it after he lost his license which is perhaps an indication that it may have been subject to ragging etc. The alloys are not to my taste either..... Got 3 or 4 cars in the running at present so we'll see what happens. I am viewing some this weekend and also have a guy round the corner who may sell his unmolested STi to me

Just spoke to the guy and he claimes to car was owned by an enthusiast. It was ampped by Andy Forrest http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/c...mp;max_mileage= Any opinions on this car would be much aoppreciated. It was brought into the country in 2006 Thanks Cal

Sheer and utter dedication to the end............one questions remains :- have you washed your right mitt since you shook the hands of such legends Grant ? Sterling effort and loved how you went from VIP to Millets dome tent ! Cal

Thanks Paul - when you here some of the stories about the likes of Keighley Car Centre etc it's a dan shame there aren't more genuine folk around !

Guys - does Stewart Chapman have a website ? Cheers Cal

Interesting thread here on DCCD http://bbs.scoobynet.com/drivetrain-11/591...friend-foe.html

Another question for the masses..... Would you rather have a standard STi or a standard WRX RA ?

David / Arch - how do you find the RA without DCCD ?? - does it still float your boat or do you hanker for it at times................ Also, I had no idea that the WRX RA gearing was shorter than the STi RA gearing - you learn something new everyday I am looking at this http://bbs.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-general...tml#post8162895 but wonder if I'd hanker for DCCD or the STi suspension etc Incidentally I would never pay what he is asking for the car......£7k is a joke CGS

Pics in here :- http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtop...64&hl=wagon Only reason I sold it was because of the road tax hike and to get a diesel + toy...... The garage don't know it but it has a brand new whiteline ARB and solid drop links. It did has Defi's but I removed them and punted them. It does has a K&N panel filter though. Cheers Cal

My old 56 plate with PPP is going for circa £12.5K in Arnold Clark Aberdeen Lang Stracht It was in great condition and if you gave them a very low offer I think they'd go for it. It has PPP and is the SL model with leather, sun-roof, heated seats etc Offer £11k and see what they say........it had 27k miles and FSH from T&C Aberdeen Nothing in particular to look out for with wagons IMO Cal

Any thoughts on this http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/c...mp;max_mileage= Seller seems clued up but rear lights are a tad chavvy ? ****************************** Had a text from the Type R guy and awaiting pics and of that will likely never come. This guy is serious amateur night but would accept £4k Cal ( post whore at the moment !)

Great news ! Al the breast to the new addition

Track days and B-road blasts, primarily the latter...............basically a weekend warrior that shall get TLC in the winter

The Type R has re-appeared under Legacy on PH http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/723374.htm Thanks Col - I shal check it out The thrill is of the chase is soooooo addictive ! Cal

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/723476.htm not an STi or anything special but how clean is that engine bay !!!!

Why is there a rising bulge in my strides ? This is pure Willie Thorn Nothing like doing a job properly........good work fella Cal

Already emailed yesterday but I'd imagine it'll be £7k+ with that spec but thanks for the info !
