I mention buddget as it will define whats the best route to go, 22b's can be had for 250-300k, S204 hawk about 40k, a fully rebuilt/resprayed/refreshed classic sti around 30-40k, or a top qulity 22b replica for 60k upwards depending on spec. Thats the thing with it, budget will really define what you go for, by all means drop me a PM if you want to have a natter, i've been around them a long time, although i wouldnt say im a guru haha

Welcome, tbh it will really depend on budget. I doubt you'll find a decent classic sti without rot for under 20k now adays, do you have a budget in mind?

IIRC the plastic front is clipped into the housing, so once cluster removed can just unclip the clear front

I found the best way was just to convert the wife to them, picked up her forester after a rebuild today hahaha

the pipe is for the blowoff valve and yes you'll need it, looks like its for a a turbosmart style one, normaly they have an adaptor that gets bolted on, but this looks like it has a perminent fixed one. this is the adaptor, https://jdmaccessories.com.au/product/23650/ts-0205-2051-turbosmart-bov-adapter-kit-wrx-1999-00

No probs, sorry to be the bearer if bad news

the bad news is if its got rust then its not gonna be worth much and the cost of repairing it will never be covered by the sale value. You could try a specialist breaker company.

haha, yeah i bet

the sigma thing is for the alarm, https://www.jdm-manuals.com/sigma-m30-alarm-subaru-uk-forester-impreza/

Ah right, my folks picked up theirs a few months back after having xv's for years and seem to like it, even if it is a tad technical for them haha

Welcome, how you finding it?

Welcome, seen a few of these conversions, tis pretty cool 😄
