The Sti has front splitters. Uncertain about the STI factory lip, but can confirm Cusco lips work without the front splitters found on the STI model.
K.Tonic hasn't added any friends yet.

Yeah, so apparently I am to believe
Nah in all seriousness, I'm glad to add another one to the NSW pool. I rather have this experience so I know what I'm dealing with. Cant learn if everything is perfect and dandy right?
I'm sure theres someone as hungry as I was in searching for these ones.
Just was abit let down by the previous owner. 60 000kms over 8 years of driving 'normally', clutch was done -.-
Bulletproof reliability is what I prefer, but maybe down the line when I do, what is commonly done to these cars?

Wish to inform all reading that she's off to start her new life with a granny driver.
Cheers for the recommendation to Ichiban. Scotty has been such a legend in getting this pita job done.
In summary:
-machined heads
-Subaru Genuine MLS headgasket
-ARP 2000 Studs (A must; for all my future EJ's anyway)
-Rocker cover gaskets
-New Rear seal + Sports Tuff clutch
-Bits and pieces here and there with general maintenance.
I had been driving this car for hours during that interstate trip, but after all this now, feels like a different car.
Rest assured she will be well looked after and fully stock during my time of ownership. Even had a couple blokes nearby ask if its for sale!

Aye, was a ridiculously hectic week for me with interviews, exams and assignments.
Anyway, Scotty got abit overwhelmed with services last week and a few engine jobs.
What I know so far with the car:
-Will see it back sometime next week 110%
-Heads are machined
-was told there wasn't anything terrible with the block/internals.
All this going off a quick phonecall asking about an update last week Tuesday.
Will keep posted in the next week.

Thanks mate. Will be very helpful in the near future. However, I am yet to even hear of the car until next Thursday as its at the shop now. Thursday is when the engine will be pulled out. Will update on condition.
