Advise on prodrive blob eye
Hi guys hope I've put this in the right place.
I've recently sold my blob eye sti as wanted to put some money into the house saving pot (nearly cried when it left😢 any way looking to spend between £4000-£5000 on a blob wrx. I'm not finding it easy to find a good one I'm after a silver this time now I've found one on eBay with the ppp on it this should stop me spending on exhaust and remaping lol as in std they are a tad slow haha. The plan is not to spend too much on it or defeats the object Anyway here's one I'm thinking of looking at what's people thoughts? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112369474261 |

Looks nice and clean and appears to be well looked after. It's difficult to tell really. Ask as many questions as you feel need answering and if you're happy, arrange to go and view it.

I'm a bit puzzled, it looks like a blobeye and has the 2 litre engine but the year is listed as 2007, it was registered in Sept 2006 and the reg is 56, which should make it a hawk. Or am I missing something?

Having been there and done the buying the WRX thing - it could be a false economy as you may end up throwing £100s at it to make it not quite as good as an actual STI!

100% agree with Nick, unless you're really sure you will be happy with WRX power buy an STI and save a lot of money.

There where some blobs registered very late and into 2007. They changed on a 55 plate generally. The same happened when the hawk changed over in 2007, there are some 08 plates about.
