2008 WRX STi Hatch
 
Hi all,

Its time to move on to something different after 2.5 years of ownership and so my hatch is up for sale. She has been a pleasure to own, washed weekly and wanted for nothing. First some pictures, then a list of modifications.

Engine / under the bonnet:-
Remap by Duncan (AKA Race Dynamix) to 340 / 340
AEM induction kit
ProDrive second cat delete
Infinity Exhausts custom backbox
Perrin black slam panel
Mishimoto black radiator supports
RallyTech anodised blue engine dress kit
Blue STi intercooler guard

Exterior:-
Personal number plate R88 WRX
Team Dynamics Pro-Race wheels refurbished in dark anthracite (Same as the CS400 I believe) with Muteki SR35 black wheel nuts
HT Autos full lowline kit
Perrin wing riser kit
RallyArmour mudflaps with blue logo
Mirror-Magic upgrade fitted so mirrors close automatically with engine on/off.
Zunsport centre and lower grills
Rear lights covered in dual tone vinyl
Rear exhaust surrounds painted black
Front headlamp eyebrows painted black
Front fog surrounds painted black
Rear parking camera installed

Interior:-
Stereo upgraded to a Pioneer DA-120 head unit with Apple Carplay and the ability to view rear parking camera signal.
Dash cam hard-wired into the back of the cigarette lighter
M-Tech racing STi gear knob.


The car is currently on around 75k miles though this will slightly rise as it is my daily runner. I had a full service history up until I took ownership and then I have personally serviced it over the last 2.5 years changing the oil and filter roughly every 5000 miles. I have just had 4 new performance tyres and the wheels re-aligned alongside an MOT, meaning that it has 11 months remaining.

The bodywork is in generally good shape though there are a few minor, age related marks as it is a 9 year old car.

I am in no rush to sell and only selling as I generally change cars every 2-3 years and it is "that time." There is a small amount of outstanding finance on the car, this can be cleared by myself and receipt given to new owner or cleared by yourself when paying for the car.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I can be contacted via PM on here, though more quickly through 07793 491214.

I am happy for any views or inspections to take place, though any test drives will be carried out by me unless proof of comprehensive insurance on my car is presented.

Price is £10,500 ono.

Cheap price mate. I take it it's not forged ?

8ulldog 22 March 2017 06:12 PM

Hi Matty, do you think? Maybe I have underpriced her a little, let's see. No she's not forged, never had the need.

Matty81 22 March 2017 06:30 PM

When I was looking when I bought mine, they are coming in at £13/14k. I'd say maybe £12/13k. Thing is people tend to look for forged ones these days, but if I had the money know I'd buy yours because it's very clean

8ulldog 22 March 2017 06:52 PM

I bought it for around £13k and have invested a fair bit into it. Never saw the point of forging unless you were repairing the engine, runs fine as it is at the moment.

Matty81 22 March 2017 06:56 PM

I reckon you could get your money back mate

ryan51 23 March 2017 07:17 PM

That looks great.i miss my hatch loads except the £500 road tax.pretty sure there is a semi forged white on ebay for the same money as you are asking.thats not me trying to be a dick,just pointing it out.yours looks great!swap for my forester sti haha

8ulldog 23 March 2017 08:55 PM

Thanks guys, not overly fussed if it doesn't sell as despite a number of test drives this week (140i, 430i, Golf R and Civic R GT) not found anything overly exciting. I'll mull it over the weekend and see how I feel then.

Lots of chancers offering sub £10k though.

you will miss it! Chancers, don't even lower yourself to reply to them. GLWS

chrishigham 24 March 2017 03:32 AM

Looks great , personally I thinks it's a tad too cheap

Matty81 24 March 2017 06:27 AM

What's your budget mate ? My mates got an a45 Amg and it's an unbelivable car.

Matty81 24 March 2017 06:28 AM

For a modern car that is. Modern cars are bland and boring these days mate.

imprezagaz 24 March 2017 10:06 AM

How did you find the golf r?

PT82 24 March 2017 12:42 PM

Stunning, tastefully modded.

Quick and very comfortable, handles well though was a bit "bland."

The auto box on the 140i was a let down and very jerky when you put your foot down, though you do have manual mode.

Best car IMO was the civic and it looks quirky enough to have me tempted.

8ulldog 29 March 2017 07:57 PM

*Bump*

RAGGY DOO 29 March 2017 08:05 PM

Ill say it again stunning hatchback I'd have this In the morning
Should be snapped up quickly matey

8ulldog 30 March 2017 08:46 AM

Thanks again, I'm in no rush to sell. Lots of chancers offering stupid amounts, best so far was £5000 from someone who "wants to help out a fella bruva!"

Think I have settled on a Forester STi and there is one in particular that lands in May. Might end up with both if I don't get the right offer and end up turning it in to a track toy.

Matty81 30 March 2017 09:26 AM

Mate that's shocking. I'd pay the full asking for that. Must be breakers I reckon mate

vertematidog 30 March 2017 05:10 PM

Hi, I am the fifth owner, the MOT is until the end of November and the tyres are in decent condition needing replacement within the next 6 months.

Regards,

8ulldog

vertematidog 31 March 2017 11:59 AM

Hi, Just done a couple of quick car checks and both showing mot expired last November,is this correct .

8ulldog 31 March 2017 07:34 PM

Not sure why that would be, however, it is booked in for a fresh one tomorrow afternoon as a lot of people prefer a full 12 months.

8ulldog 05 April 2017 05:16 PM

Car now has a full 12 months MOT on it and had 2 advisories - tyres (Still a few thousand miles left but you know Halfords) and front drop links. It is booked in to get both of these sorted next week.

Here are some shiny new pictures:-
