Cheers Gareth,

I have moved from reading to cardiff, living in splot.... wrong choice of town!!!. I still cant belive what cardiff is like on a night out, i have been posted to many places when i was in the army and cardiff tops them all.

Well catch you laters, going to test drive at 3.30pm, im so excited, been far to long.....

good luck

UK300 Lee · 23 Oct 2006, 05:24 PM

Just bought it, im so over the moon words can not explain..... such a fantastic car!!!!!!! picking it up tomorrow, wont be able to sleep tonight. Just a question to you all.

It is registered as a wrx sti 'prodrive' the dealer thinks it has 305bhp but looking at the back box it does have sti stamped on it not prodrive. i know they bought out 2 sti's one a prodrive and one not. How can i tell without putting it on a rolling road that it has been prodrived?

Cheers all

should come with a certificate ? check the books

i think a phonecall to the dealer (cvc) may also give you some clue...

CONGRATS

Hi Lee & Congrats mate

If your Impreza looks like this, its a special edition (2002 STi Prodrive) that has been Prodrived

UK300 Lee · 23 Oct 2006, 06:11 PM

yes it looks like that exactly, i will try and post some pictures, why has it got a sti back box and not a prodrive?

The 2002 Prodrive had the same exhaust system as the standard 2002 type UK STi.
