Model Year 99 UK Turbo 5 door Wagon in Dark Mica Green – I have owned this car for almost two years and have done subtle but extensive work beneath the skin. This car really is a wolf in sheep’s clothing as with the exception of the Haywood and Scott exhaust system this looks like a totally standard UK spec car, however it delivers approximately 285bhp and a similar lb/ft of torque. Only putting the car on a dyno (or driving) would indicate the level of modification completed.

I bought the car for £11,000 and since then have spent a further £5,500 on the following modifications. Most of these modifications were done at the same time as the short engine replacement:

Brand new Subaru short engine installed at 56,000 miles - £2250
Haywood and Scott Downpipe and Back Box - £450
Hybrid TD04 (TD04 standard turbo on MY99 wagon) - £600
EcuTek custom mapping - £700
DeltaDash software for checking ECU output and fault codes - £250
Uprated Oil Pump - £235
Uprated fuel pump - £100
MAF sensor £100
Whiteline Rear ARB - £200
High performance Semi-Organic clutch (Lateral Performance) - £650

I have not included servicing and consumable costs in the above. However all tyres are quality tyres (Bridgestone SO3’s on front, Goodyear Eagle F1 on rears) and the front discs and pads have only just been replaced (July 04)

The car has covered 87,000 miles (however the next service does not require the cam belt change as this was done when engine replaced at 56,000)

Factory fitted Air Con
Subaru CD Stacker
Taxed till Feb 2005
MOT expires March 2005

Legitimate reason for sale. Any inspections welcome

The price includes the delta dash software and OEM exhaust and turbo parts should you wish to replace them at a later date.
