Looking good Dan.
Started work on my friends V3 STI today, he bought it a short while ago with suspected head gasket failure, billowing out white smoke no matter where the revs are.
Was looking like this when i left them
Jay, Could you tell me the differences between a Blob STI and Bug STI?
If I was to get one(A Bug), would it be a sacrilege to swap the rear bumper for a blob bumper?
If anybody isn't put off by mileage, a bloody cheap blob

Yeah, 4.5k.
Had a older guy wanting to pick it up last Saturday but like I said, I s**t out.
Another idea I thought of, I would put it back to standard and sell off the goodies.
VF28, STI top mount, Harvey Smith Headers and up pipe, Walbro Pump and some Bob Rawle mapping.
Engine fully rebulit with new crank,pistons,rods and the box is less than 12 months old, all done at API.

Wasn't a Terzo if it was 3 door and the RB5 doesn't have intercooler spray.
To be honest, the RB5 is just a UK2000 with Silver blue paint, blue alcantara seats, special 17" Speedline alloys and a numbered plaque, think the had a slight map tweak aswell.

jay70 is far more qualified in all subaru a to advise.

I can't make up my mind what to do with it, knocked back a offer of £4.3k last Friday, got tempted by a local blobeye WRX running 360bhp, but still undecided what to do.
On the subject of TT's, this is a real beauty

True, I give it a blast one morning this week, cold dry morning and f**k me it was flying! I remember just laughing to myself about the power it has mid range.
