Hey mate, cheers

The engine was built by a Subaru workshop and they are covering any issues for 12 months, so technically it's the shop that is offering the warranty. Has worked out good so far, had the inter-cooler pipping come off the other day. Last car being the S15, that was easy to get too, but damn this engine bay is something else for servicing!

Edit: Currently on 17PSI

Steve.

Welcome mate, I think I know who you bought this from :lol:

It's a great car and a steal for the work that went into it

Btw: The sti badge that matches our models is the 05-07 ones (black/pink) part no: 93013FE150
part no: 93013FE120 looks exactly the same though, don't know if there are any differences
