Default MY CLASSIC STI ON ITS WAY FROM JAPAN!!

bought my second impreza 2 weeks ago through sc imports who i cant recommend enough. sold my uk turbo last year and had been on the look out for a mint classic sti and was put in touch with stewart who owns sc imports who gave me the auction links to japan to find the car i was after which is then inspected by his staff in japan before bidding is made on the car, they only pick the very best cars and this car is a grade 4 on the auction sheet with a genuine 40k on the clock and totally standard bar a turbo timer. it is currently on the slow boat from japan and should arrive in 5 weeks and i cant wait, will be fitting a full decat exhaust and an apexi ecu which will be mapped by andy f who is 5 mins down the road from me. anyway hope you like.

I hope for your sake they dont use the ESVA on it for registering or you will be another member of the £400 a year road tax club

yeah will be taking the blue spots off and what looks like a prodrive sticker off the front splitter, colour code the side skirts and rear skirts and will be getting a set of sti flaps from scott lowe in black, keeping it looking standard and mint, andy f tells me with full decat and apexi ecu mapped it will run 330-340bhp which is plenty in a classic.

That certainly looks mint! I'm looking to import a mint Sti next. Are SC Imports a fairly big company? Where are they based?

based in glasgow, think they are a fairly new company but have an excellent reputation over on sidc where they have sourced several mint imprezas for members. do a search on sidc and you will see some of the pics of cars they have sourced. i can pm you more info and contact details if you want.
