hello

quick question, I have learned quite a lot about imprezas over the years I have been on here, but I have just seen this car on ebay, I am looking for another impreza specifically a wagon.

just come accross this one, but it states its an sti, but it just seems to be everything that an sti isnt, such as the interior, the lights, the badges, the engine, the bodystyling, etc etc etc

have a look and let me know as its bugging me now.

Definately not James; just another gob****e...


Simon

 

cheers si

<end of thread>

think I will just pm you any questions in the future

 

Have asked him how its got 280 standard !

 

Indeed; it should have 250PS. While youre asking him, find out what happened to the original seats which've been replaced with standard 1994 blue 'Wagon seats; and where the original intercooler has gone.....?


Simon

 

looks like a wrx sa to me as the skirts are missing. Ive said it before. Theres plenty of "mint" 280bhp heaps on ebay. Someone should tell him its not an Sti and that it is only 220 ps

 

The SA was a poverty spec 'Wagon though and it deleted electric windows and mirrors along with AAC...

Simon

 

its increased by 30bhp from the mods he has bought on ebay?

looks like he was just repeating what the person said that sold it to him/her?

he replied

because it is an import and yes just because it doesnt have red heads doesnt mean its not.
thay didnt start to paint the heads till 96

 

I did

 

www.rac.co.uk/web/carbuying/vehicle_data_search put the reg in on this!

My little brother has a friend who said his dad had an sti n it turned out 2 be a gx

 

Doesn't mean it's a GL, a lot of imports say the wrong thing.

My 95 WRX says it's a GL, you don't see many GL's with turbos and stuff

 

didnt know the heads were ever painted red, the intake manifold maybe

 

also he brought it on 82k miles, and now is selling it with 80k miles on lol

 

the m.o.t has gained a month too lol!!!

 

@ the mileage I have mailed them a link to this thread lol

Hi Shaggy just copied this info from rac page after i typed in the reg number. Thought it only had one owner!!

An STI it aint!!

 

Id seen in his history that it had been advertised before as a 'Type-SA' but I dont believe it is due to the power items fitted. People confuse the SA with the RA (hence this vehicle being described as such by the original ****/vendor); all it has in common really is that its cheaper, but in the SA's case it was a poverty spec car with the features deleted only to save cost. Its correct to state that early STI's didnt have a red coloured intake manifold, this car has a WRX intercooler and standard 1994 blue 'Wagon seats though and theres no doubt in my mind that its exactly what it is. When this **** bought it it had standard 1992-3-4 15" allo wheels too.


Simon

 

take a look at the double pea shooter zaust. say no more.

 

The advert says its un-molested .................. the best Imprezas you can buy are un-molested!!

Looks fine to me ...... could go very cheap?

Don't write it off because it hasn't got a 'Look-at-me-I'm-a-*******' Drainpipe exhaust

Pete

 

the point of the thread, pete, is that it doesn't appear to be what it's advertised as, is it not?

furthermore, if it's been bas tardised by fitting bits to it that don't belong there then it is molested, I'm sure you'll agree.

 

Defo not an STi!!

 

lol sorry couldnt resist

all I was saying is, he/she is advertising it as something it isnt, I actually beleive they think it is what they say it is, which is pretty bad as they were quite obviously mis-sold it in the first place.

James

 

OK, apology accepted .....

My point being, don't knock a car because of its pee-shooter

Pete

 

Whilst the web link here in the ebay advert http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=4564685518 from the previous owner lists the body type GF8B58D as a WRX - SA (STi), if you look at this site you will see that the GF8B58D body type is common to
- Wagon WRX (220 PS)
- Wagon WRX - SA (220 PS)
- Wagon WRX STi Version (250 PS)

Whilst I was going to be charitable and suggest that maybe he just got confused, I spotted that he had deliberately removed the large WRX sticker from the tailgate and had added the STi badge.

 

An STI with those seats? me no thinkso

 

The bloody clowns you get on Ebay do my head in :angry:

 

and another one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza...QQcmdZViewItem

 

this could be an sti. It has the seats - the red stitched steering wheel and the plaque (spelling?) on the belt cover.

 

Yes, that particular one does look like it could be an STi 1/2

I know what you mean about Ebay numpties...''300BHP!!!'' has got to be the best one people come out with, 300BHP from a UK turbo with a big dustbin exhaust?! I'm selling my Sti!!
