Come on guys - this has got to be of interest to someone! I've got *new commitments* that mean I need a sensible car!

I imported this car in April 2006 direct from Japan. It had one owner in Japan and now myself.

Its now covered 72,000 miles - Scooby Clinic fitted a new clutch / flywheel and cambelt last year along with the 45,000 mile (major service).

Its running an Apexi Power FC (plus commander) and TD05-20G on the STI TMIC - mapped at 1.4 bar by JGM, pulls very nicely, has a low boost switch which I use for 97 ron when I haven't got VPower.

Cusco 1 way rear LSD.

Toad AI606 - 2 remotes.

Full 3inch decat, H&S downpipe and Revolution system (also standard exhaust if needed).

Front upper and lower strut braces.

Turbo timer.

Boost guage.

Automatic Climate control.

4 electric windows, elec mirrors (folding).

Body work is in extremely good condition with no rust.

Interior is good but the drivers seat has 1 cigarette burn - shown in photos.

Alpine CD tuner headunit.

Any questions please shout.

Open to sensible offers!

 

Great car with some nice tweeks!

Free bttt from a fellow Sti V3 owner, (though not as nice as this one!)

 

Cheers Graham - you're the reason I bought the V3, incredible car - I owned an RA before this (you may remember I bought some wheels off you some years ago for it - same as above).

 

Good greif! That's a long time ago (it seems).

The V3 Sti makes for a superb road car, inho better than the RA after the RA's rush for the first 24 hours.

Ones as stock as yours are very rare now I think.

BTTT!

 

BTTT - edited with £???? price!

 

BTTT - not even a cheeky offer?

 

ok ill be real cheeky

























3.5k


iam now sat hear with hard hat on!

 

You cheeky monkey!

To be honest I'm hoping for £4500 - would probably do nearer 4000 without goodies.

Are you in the market?

 

hi

does the car have dccd?

cheers

chris

 

No it doesn't - think that was reserved for STI RA's at this age.

It does run a Cusco 1 way rear though.

 

A dccd for a road car has little purpose in my experience.
My Sti V3 now has one and I drive the car in fully open all the time on the road. Racing is a different matter.

The V3 Sti is a very 'real world' car and runs fantastic on the road.

 

that was a very tame answere

yes iam in the market,realy want an ra!

ive only got 5k to play with,that includes the dreaded insurance!

iam thinking of importing one myself,just need some help realy.

 

Cool - does your insurance require a cat1 alarm? Its these hidden costs that really add up.

I reckon a rough approximation of import costs is £4k on the car on the road gives 400,000 yen to spend in Japan (£2,000). I bought this one (and 2 before it) in Japan because I couldn't find a good one over here - also I didn't want one that had been used on supermarket fuel! That said they all cost around £6k otr before alarms/remaps etc.

If you need any more info I have a list of costs that may help and a spreadsheet to help add it all up.

Cheers Chris

 

always wanted one of these....a white sti is my opinion the best and yours is a superb example. If I had the cash, I would snap it up and make it a project car as I have now got to the end of modding my classic as it stands.

 

it does chris,which is why ive got to watch what i spend

if you could send me some info,it would be much apprieciated


my email is.....bazooba37@hotmail.com

thanks

Stu I'll drop you a mail in the morning.

Thanks for the comments SwissTony - I'm gutted that it has to go especially after the money spent!

Chris

thanks,

stu

 

Sold

 

...To me and loving it, had new age sti before this and doesnt compare.

Thanks again Chris.

 

you complete *******...I mean, well done

I hope it has gone to a good home and I am just upset that I didnt have the cash to get it.

 

In a good way?

Glad you're happy with it - you had enough fuel to get home then?

Cheers Chris
