i happen to have in my possesion a quite tidy wrx, i done a px deal on my 328i bmw plus a few quid on top. the end reuslt is this scooby cost me a lot less than a grand. went and did the deal in leicester, drove back down fine, got to my mates house and the rad blew.arse. never mind as i got one from a scrapper for £30
as you can see from the pics it has been slightly lowered  , to the point where it has caught the nsf wing and kinked it. wings will be replaced when i can get hold of a coilover spanner for the teins
its got p1 lights on the front but still has pre-facelift grille bumper and bonnet
has a full 3" decat exhaust exiting with a rather fruity angled tailpipe
aftermarket wheel, knob etc
greddy boost gauge
induction kit
de-spoilered
plans at the mo are to get a facelift front end includind 2 replacement wings, raise the front suspension, obtain and fit some sti rear lights, new timing belt and full service. hopefully at the end the cost of all this will be under £2000 and im onto a winner. will update as and when as im in no rush to finish

have just bought some minty mint sti wings and a tailgate with attached v5 sti style spoiler so i will have the option to choose how the back end looks.
have also ordered a quick shift kit off ebay, £28 delivered brand new!! lets see how good the build quality is, and lastly im in negotiations for a nice big front mount intercooler complete with fittings
