I bought this 1997 v3 sti ra a month ago from my best mate, he bought it from a guy I know looked after it very well and before that I used to see it at scoob meets in apsley and had wanted it ever since.
Since owning it I've had it repainted and just a good service so far. Not a spot of rust on it and very happy with it so far.

Specs;
Roller bearing turbo from new age
Roger Clark headers
Harvy smith up pipe
Down pipe
Centre section
Standard rear box (I like oem)
Front mount in satin black
Usual sti ra specs as you'll know
Brembo brakes hubs and wheels from new age with re070 all round
Spec c I/c tank in the boot with auto button on dash
Simtek and jgm mapped (God rest his soul) running 335bhp with equal torque
52k on the clock beautiful little car
