The previous owner of my specB moved an Alpine HU in place of the stock navi, ordered the AV Panel, i88, i85, and an antenna adapter (he never connected the antenna or SWC). Waiting to get everything so I can do the install! I’m not missing anything if the headunit I have is already wired up, right?

I got the documentation for everything that's been done, which is good, and the 93 tune was after the pistons were installed to assist with that, which is also good. It's from NC which is much better than the tri-state area in terms of rust, and when I took a look at it and underneath it, it was in extremely good condition, big green flag. Clutch was also replaced with an exedy one to accommodate the extra power. I appreciate the info, and everyone's tips overall were also a great resource to use when I went to test drive it the other day.

I've seen sti's make ~340whp on stock turbos so I don't think it's too out of line, though I'd definitely need to upgrade the turbo if I wanted to make more power.

Thanks for the insight! The asking price was 16000, but I worked him down a bit because most of the interest for the car was a number of states away + he wanted to avoid shipping costs/insurance, which I probably should've mentioned in the first place. He has receipts in the listing, and he included so many pictures of not only the engine bay but the rest of the car as well. Suspension is stock excluding the sti springs from what he's told me so far. As far as it being a real spec.B, the seats and original badge check out, as well as the VIN, so I should be okay in that department. Horsepower-wise, even 300whp is fine by me, so either way I think I'll get a conservative e-tune for what's in there and leave it at that for the time being. Again, I really appreciate your insight and if there's anything else you think of I'd be happy to listen! I've always been in an impreza so I have yet to learn a lot about the legacies.

Hey guys, I was looking into picking up a clean modded spec.B for around 13k with 80k miles on it. I wanted a low-key but still fun daily and weekend car that's a bit more practical than a WRX, and the spec.B seems pretty solid for that niche. It has about 320whp, and I'll drop the mods he listed below. I just want to know what I should watch out for or ask about for this particular car, as this seems like a really solid deal compared to everything else out there. Thank you all!
