Mmmmm graphics very end 80's early '90s, and wouldn't be my cup of tea...
Maybe it suits the design, which is a bit juvenile (appeal to teens, but hardly to people who can afford to buy and insure)

very tempting but you know you'll be putting down another 2k just on a rebuild if the misfire was caused by a problem in the engine ! my misfire was electrical and i spent abt 700€ just on diagnosis !! people telling me its the engine thats gone and i req. a rebuild @ the end it was a lousy wire with bad connection !! (thank God)

just quickly-
wrx ra = standard wrx with a few RA bushings here and there, heavy centre diff, short ratio box, short shifter and lsd, climate control, airbags, nothing really "sti" about them.
an sti ra has the dccd, r180 rear, cams/heads/crank/etc, ecu, + all the other sti fruit.
a sti ra vlim has all that + radio, climate control, airbags etc

700 euro for diagnostics
WOW at least they found it in the end
I assume the electrical part that required replacing was part of the 700 euro they charged you ?

no it was a total of three mechanics trying to figure out what it was from three diffrent garages, you see i was not convinced from the first two mechanics as they had diffrent things to say, so i took it to a third 'electrician' who comfirmed what one of the mechanics was saying and i gave him the go ahead for the job, so the total bill was two mechanics labour, one of which carried a compression test changed the plugs, i bought an injector as well as we suspected that then, it was hectic, the guy who did it pulled out the whole fuse box and we checked every wire using an ohm meter to see which wire has no current and we cought one wire out that had no copper connection mid way the length of the wire, that took about three and a half hours so labour and charges and my babe needed attention so I had to give her what ive got lol, joking aside it was a nightmare and id never wish it on anyone
