MOT & tax til June 2013

The time has come for me to sell my beloved Impreza. This car has been a labour of love for me, and has had the very best of everything fitted to it to make it the ultimate blend of acceleration, braking, cornering and comfort. An ex racing driver friend of mine (who drives an R33 GTR Skyline) described it as 'a bloody weapon', and I really have to say it is the most stunningly quick car I have ever owned or driven.

I have owned it for nearly 4 years, I always warm it up and cool it down, wash and wax it every week.
Always run and mapped on 99 RON super unleaded and 50cc per tank of NF race formula octane booster.
Engine oil changed November, rear diff and gear box oils recently changed.
The car is kept garaged., and I am a non Smoker.

Being a Japanese import Twin Scroll variant this car was never available in the UK. For this reason the car has ** NO CO2 ** reading on the log book which means it is taxed on the PLG rate at £220 per year.

Standard equipment and spec over and above the UK cars include:

BBS Magnesium Alloy lightweight wheels
HID headlights
IHI VF37 Twin Scroll Turbo, (hugely quick spool-up, and doesn't run out of puff at high revs).
Equal Length tubular Manifolds (loses that nice off-beat burble, but necessary for ultimate power).
8250rpm rev limit
AVCS/VVT.
Quick Rack Steering
Electric folding mirrors

Red glow instruments with Sweep Check on start up. (like Defi BF Gauges)

JDM Owners handbook

COSWORTH 2.5 LITRE ENGINE:
I recently decided to give the car the torque I think it needed, and the bulletproof strength to allow up to 700 bhp, if it were required.
So I had the Cosworth EJ25 (STI) short block fitted.
Cosworth EJ25 short block includes the following:
New Subaru EJ25 STI Engine case; Subaru forged Steel 79mm Crankshaft; Cosworth Forged H-beam Connecting Rods; Cosworth Forged Pistons and rings; Cosworth Coated, Tri-metal bearings; Balanced to within 0.5 gram; Complete blue-print assembly; Ring gap checked; Bearing clearance checked; Deck height checked; Connecting Rod side clearance checked; Crankshaft end float checked.
Additionally, I have fitted the Cosworth high pressure oil pump and sump baffle plate to stop any risk of oil surge or blow-by, on track days.

Stacks of receipts, mot certs and paperwork to substantiate all the claims.

All this for £10250

PM me if interested.

:eek:

If only I could have this..... GLWTS.

If this had only been a few months ago! GLWTS!

Very special indeed!!
Very nicely priced also!!
Will be snapped up am sure...
All the best anyway:thumb:

Have added some interior pics too, as requested!

Very nice indeed mate.

Once somebody drives a JDM with this spec a UK one will never come close

where are you based?

Interested in px on Audi S4 B5 saloon..
Top spec low miles 340/410?

Hi, I'm in Thurrock, Essex, about 20 miles east of London.

Sounds tempting mate, but I'm looking to replace the STI with something a little more frugal! Think my next car will be either a BMW 535D touring, or perhaps a Range Rover Vogue diesel.

Bit of a trek but looking to buy a car this weekend pm me your rock bottom price

No worries fella...
Wish all the best for a mint well planned out Impreza!

Hi mate,

Have taken a deposit from a guy who is looking at the car Wednesday.

Will let you know if it doesn't sell.

This would go well in an ra shell :norty:
