vjmcdonnell Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hello from Ireland, I am currently saving up for a 1996-1997 Impreza WRX STI (Maybe a Type R) as standard as possible. I started thinking about getting one a few months ago when I seen the value to be had. First was looking at the UK model, then the WRX and now decided I really should get a STI. With the issues that Im seeing with Rust on UK imports Im thinking of getting one direct from Japan. I want something that has been well looked after. Anyway back to saving........

quit Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 They don't salt the roads in Japan so better chance of a good one but they have some coastal areas like us so in a 20 yr old car expect some rot personally the money to get one imported I would just buy a nice uk one that's undersealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjmcdonnell Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Well I'm currently saving as the Sti is a bit more than what I originally had in mind. I am keeping an eye on whats available in the UK and Japan and see what happens. Is the Type R that much better than the STI V3-4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
