Well this car kinda fell in to my lap and it was just too nice to resist, she's a my2000 Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA WRC Limited Edition.
The car has obviously been cherished, only covered 59k and to look at appears almost factory standard which I like, but dig a little deeper and it's had a fair amount if money spent in what I think are all the right places, spec as follows... Engine Simtek ECU mapped by Andrew Carr to 1.4bar 360bhp-380bhp Harvey Smith TD05/06-20G polished, ported and clocked turbo Harvey Smith up rated actuator Harvey Smith wrapped & Ported headers Harvey Smith matched up-pipe Lateral Performance 550cc injectors Mafless setup with air intake sensor mounted IC pipe work Milsport front mount intercooler custom matt black alloy pipe work Forge Motorsport v3-4 recirc dump valve with up rated spring Roger Clarke K&N cone filter & alloy trumpet SFS silicon reducer hose Viper Performance silicon intake hose H&S afterburner centre pipe TSL Stainless Group N 3.5 inch back box Powerflex uprated exhaust hangers Hyperflow blue oil catch can tank mounted to bulkhead Buddy Club oil filler cap Buddy Club expansion tank cap Wrinkle black & Candy Blue Header tank with pro bolts Powder coated blue turbo heat shield Powder coated blue bonnet stay Powder coated blue radiator brackets Powder coated blue brave resivoir heat shield Powder coated matt black belt cover Powder coated matt black map sensor bracket Transmission Transmission RA Close ratio gearbox EXEDY Race organic clutch ACT 6.4KG lightened & balanced flywheel Suspension BC fully adjustable coilovers Whiteline anti lift kit Whiteline uprated steering rack bushes Summit polished rear upper strut brace STi carbon fibre front strut brace Summit rear under chassis brace Du-luck front under chassis brace Whiteline 22mm adjustable rear anti-roll bar Whiteline rear alloy drop links Pro Alloy front alloy drop links Full wheel alignment Brakes Refurbed Newage 4pot Front Callipers in red Refurbed 2010 Newage WRX 2 pot rear callipers in red with white brembo decals EBC red stuff front pads Godspeed Uprated front drilled and grooved discs Godspeed uprated rear carbon pads Godspeed rear up-rated grooved discs Brake bias mod allowing stronger rear bias Goodridge Stainless steel braided brake hoses all round Fully synthetic racing brake fluid Wheels 18" gunmetal Revolution Millenium Alloys with Toyo TR1 tyres Blue aluminium d2 spec lightweight wheel nuts Exterior Sti front fog lamp covers with custom ra decals STI rear red and clear lamps Clear front indicators Clear side repeaters Clear side lights Interior RA Limited blue centre console RA Limited blue dash surround RA Limited blue sports seats Securon 4 point blue race harnesses Kenwood single CD player Momo gearknob Momo steering wheel Alloy pedal set Security Toad Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser Attachment 70099 Attachment 70100 Attachment 70101 Attachment 70102 Attachment 70103 :thumb: |

Stunning. You need to get yourself on type-RA if you haven't done so already. I love the limited edition front seats and blue trim. One day I'm owning one.
|
Cheers everyone! She is a little beauty! Just needs the dreaded arches doing, real shame as it looks like it's not had paint before, so I just need to make sure they are done well and done properly.
My plans are to just mint her up under the bonnet and add one or too personal touches and just generally look after it! Drew:thumb: |
Very nice! :thumb:
|
If I could just pick one fault and that's you need to post MORE pictures! Seriously tho....
That is one nice clean looking well spec'd classic :thumb: |
Unspoilt and simple ,very effective looks great.
|
Arches look ok to me, you should see mine need them doing asap.

Think it has has a respray, as just looks like come from showroom The drivers arch is the worse, hence no close up pics and thanks to some photoshop effects you can't see it on the side picture, but trust me it's there but hopefully not for long. :thumb: |
Get rid of those flaps !!! :)

Just seen your selling the Sti 8 motor pal. What you planning to put in this then?
|
Nothing mate! Just enjoy it as it until she goes bang! Which I doubt she ever will seen as though I'll never really drive it! :wonder:
|
Great call mate, get it used and enjoy it :)
|
Can't I tempt you with the white one! Seen as though you have an engine needing a home!? Ha
|
Very nice Drew. Brings back memories. :thumb:
|
I'll drive it drew, if you ever bring it round :D

Attachment 70105 Just completed 4498kms in mine around Europe in a week without skipping a beat and no oil used. All OE except some four pots on the front (even the cats and clocks are still in kms but = 45000 miles). Not bad for a car built in May 97 :thumb: https://www.scoobynet.com/wales-26/1...batch-1-a.html |

Cheers for the comments guys, started adding some of my own touches today. First job was to do something about the bonnet, the previous owner had a stick in vinyl plate mounted stuck on the bonnet which had then been removed and left this mess!:cry:
Attachment 70106 So the bonnet needs painting, but decided to wait until I get the arches done and sort it all the same time, so until then I have re added a stick on plate to cover up the mess plus added a set of graphics to the fog covers as the front end look too plain....
