2008 STI Hatch
58k
White

A standard example will set you back at least 12.5k-13k. For an extra 2.5k you will be getting a bullet proof veraion of a fantastic car with no worry of ringland failures etc which will set you back a minimum of 3k just for drop in pistons.
this car and its extra s is worth every penny. I would love to keep it but as im getting older im realising that family really does come first (cliche i know. Lol)

price mate

Any pictures?

Ill get more pics up tomorrow when its a bicer out. I just took a cheeky garage shot to tickle the taste buds.

Fantastic spec, someone will get a bargain in one of the best colours too.
What are the M1144 pads like?

They are very good pads actually. Imo better than some of the other performamce leaders. That said I use it on the road. For track they may not be that good.

Nice spec car, but unfortunately out of my price range.

Its not too pricey considering the sheer amount of money put into it.

it will easily be able to take 550-600bhp according to api engines. So is great for someone looking to utilise the build and create a monster.

Is it 2.5" or 3" milltek?

3" miltek.

Is it a forged standard block?

It is yes. Api said that safely 450-500 is doable. It could take more but imo it would need a semi cdb or a cdb to see 500+. As we know though a 330s STI hatch will hit 0-60 in 4.4 im sure 450-500 will be more than enough for most people. After 450bhp in my eyes its unneeded power. This runs 370 and is very very hood as it is.

Updated pics

Bump!
Where do you think is best to find the correct buyer that knows what they are looking at.

eBay, Autotrader or Pistonheads?
I was thinking Pistonheads??

Prob this site, although worth a try on Pistonheads :)

Ill try pistonheads and keep it on here aswell. Everyone on here knows how much money it costs to create this car.

Hi. I could be interested in this. I've been out of the fold for two years but my current Audi 2.0tfsi is soulless. I'm looking at getting a forged hatch BUT it will be my family daily driver so can't be too loud or too heavy on the clutch for the missus.

Tbh the clutch isnt actually that hard. It bites like a normal clutch but with all imprezas they are a little bit hard to hanfle compared to your average. Its a great family car imo. I would keep it for when the baby arrives but I need the cash to support the baby so its a catch 22. Its not too loud at all. The miltek sounds very nice but is tame conoared to sime iv heard. If its not being revved its no louder that any other high powered car as its just a nice low rumble.

pm me for my number and I can chat over the phone if need be.

Pm sent

Is this car still for sale?
