April 21, 20169 yr Hey, Was looking for something fun and walked out of the garage with a 2007 WRX first scooby for me but really enjoying it so thought I would get on here and gain some knowledge. Be gentle I'm a noob 😂

April 22, 20169 yr If it's a trader and no warranty you can still claim under sales of goods and services act providing it wasn't sold as spares/repairs. Shouldn't need to throw that about unless it gets messy.

It's going into they're garage tonight they already said there not sure what warranty I have but I've only had it 10 days so will be an interesting few days. Just a shame it went before the weekend! 😤
April 23, 20169 yr Wotcha and welcome - great looking motor - hope they sort the gearbox without any undue hassle
April 27, 20169 yr Author Small update gearbox is covered by warranty however i have been informed that the 5 speed gearbox it has isnt suitable for the current power 340hp ish. anyone know much about this ? as they have said i will need to change it to the 6 speed sometime in the future . any information would be appreciated

April 27, 20169 yr If you've got £3K + then def go for it! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1993-to-2005-Subaru-Impreza-wrx-STi-JDM-6speed-TY856WB4KA-Gearbox-Kit-DCCD-/181933898667?hash=item2a5c1afbab:g:NUkAAOSwcdBWSf6M

April 27, 20169 yr Depends I think on what version you pinch it from but someone else will know more. Can't see the cost being drastically cheap.
April 27, 20169 yr If you can find a 6 speed with the ratio as your current 5 speed, you can do the conversion with .... 6 speed box , cradle, prop, gearstick and linkage . As you can use the 5 speed clutch ,fly,slave and drive shafts . Although fitted the 6 speed clutch ,fly and starter motor when doing my conversion .As the 6 speed fly and clutch is slightly bigger in diameter and therfore handles a bit more power . I was lucky enough to find a 6 speed conversion kit (clutch included )for just under £1,500 [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
