Crystal Grey 2005 Widetrack Impreza STI (~400bhp)
Hi Guys, time to sell up.
The car is a 2005 STI, which has the prodrive performance pack (PPP) from factory with certificate etc. It's on 58k miles and has been serviced through its life either by Subaru or reknown specialists (BRW Performance, Richard Henry Autos, ScoobyClinic, etc). I've regularly done oil and fluid changes between the scheduled services, with the empty oil containers in my garage to prove!
Last timing belt change was done August this year.
It's got the usual Widetrack spec, with Hawk interior and DCCD adjustable differential.
The car has no mechanical issues, drives really well and looks the part too.

Brief history of the car:
I bought it in November 2012 and it has had 6 previous owners.
The owner before me kept the car somewhat as a garage queen, it was very tidy when I collected it and standard minus a couple of Whiteline bits underneath.
Since I've had it, I've added to the Whiteline catalogue fitted to the underside (more details later) and it's had a number of different coilover kits on it, but it's now running OEM shocks and prodrive springs as it really is the best ride for a daily driver.
In 2014 I spent much of the year in the US with work, so the car was garaged up and I spent a load of $$ on parts. When I got back, I handed the car and the collection of parts to Richard Henry auto's in Bradford and they fitted a bunch of performance bits which resulted in a mapping session with Andrew Carr and a BHP output of 398.6bhp. On a cold day, you can call that 400
The car has been a daily driver for me, for my 7 mile commute. It HAS done track days in my ownership, but nothing competetive. I'm not ashamed to declare track days to a potential buyer, because with the track days has come a VERY strict maintenance schedule (oil and filter changes every track day, brake fluid twice a year, regular coolant changes, etc) and the car has never had any track (or road) adventures such as "offs", scrapes and it's not even had a spin... which suggests I'm not driving it anywhere near hard enough
I've decided to sell as I'm going to need a boring daily for next year, so I'm going to split my strategy and get a dedicated track car, with a dedicated daily alongside. I debated long and hard as to whether the Impreza should become my proper track car but it's too good of a daily car for me to personally go ahead and strip/cage/etc. I'd rather let somebody else enjoy it in its current form, and make their own decision whether to track it or not.
The car is a very good daily driver, no nasty knocks or rattles - very clean and drives very well. The power modifications have made it a really good laugh on boost, but I don't feel the current specification compromises the car in any way from standard. That said, the Air Conditioning HAS been removed from this car. It was rarely/never used and the plumbing for it made the FMIC/Catch Can install more difficult, so in the name of convenience and saving weight it came out. AC Compressor is still in my garage, and will be included in the sale in the event somebody wants to attempt a reinstallation with new pipes/condenser/etc.
Modifications:
Chassis/Brakes:
Whiteline Front and Rear ARB (Adjustable)
Whiteline Front and Rear drop links (Adjustable)
Whiteline Anti Lift Kit
STI Front Brembo Calipers from a Hatch (same spec as OEM, but much newer with less than 500 miles on them)
OEM spec pads with <500 miles on them in the front, have ordered some rears to match.
Braided Hoses
Fluid change <500 miles ago
Disks are Godspeed grooved all around
Prodrive Springs
SuperPro balljoint and track rod end kit
CDF Brake Stopper
Front Strut Brace
Engine/Performance:
Harvey Smith TD05 20G Turbo with Billet Compressor wheel conversion
Harvey Smith "trick" up-pipe
GT Spec Headers
Afterburner 2.5" Decat downpipe and deresonated centre section, standard prodrive backbox
3Port boost solonoid
Japspeed FMIC kit
ID 1000 Injectors
CDF Racing Parallel fuel rails
Fuelab Adjustable FPR
DW 340lph Fuel pump
Spec C anti-surge fuel pump assembly
OBP 3Port Catch Can
Exedy Racing Stage 1 Clutch (fitted early 2015)
Mishimoto oil cooler and thermostatic sandwich plate
RCM Sump Baffle Plate
K&N Intake with RCM trumpet
MAF-Less setup
Exterior/Visual:
OEM Enkei Alloys in graphite grey
<500miles OEM spec Bridgestone RE070 tyres
JDM HID Headlight conversion
Destickered/debadged a few areas to "clean up" the look of the car.
Regularly cleaned/polished/etc.
Zunsport front lower grille in black
Front lower splitter
Recently had paint to touch up a number of stone chips, but no accident damage.
Interior:
Alpine W530BT Double Din head unit
Prosport Halo 60mm gauges in centre pod: Boost Pressure, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp
PLX AFR Gauge on A-Pillar
Red LED conversion in centre console
Hawkeye STI dials (red illumination instead of green)
The replacement dials does however mean that the car mileage on display is 8784 miles LESS than the actual car mileage. I appreciate this may raise eyebrows, but I've got a photograph record of each set of dials on the day of the swap - and the MOT mileage history backs up my claim. I've got nothing to hide with this, condition of the interior etc will backup the stated mileage.
Car MOT is good until July 3rd 2016.
I'm looking for £9,995. I think this fairly reflects the steady values of the Widetrack model, has relatively low mileage and has a fair few expensive modifications that would save money on a potential project.
I'm in North Yorkshire, work Mon-Fri but can arrange for test drives/viewings mid week if that's the only option.

This is a stunner of a car, have enjoyed watching it be transformed and cherished by you, whoever buys it is getting a pampered and sorted car with no expense spared.
Good luck with the sale and well done to whoever is lucky enough to take it off your hands!

Hi guys, thanks for the interest and the comments! I've replied to PMs, but realised I'd neglected to mention something in the thread originally - so have edited it.
Basically, air con is removed from car to allow catch can/FMIC plumbing.
