Default 2004 impreza wrx 425bhp (Looking at Breaking)

The car was born on the 01/11/2004, 2.0 Wrx Turbo 225 uk modal
The car has had the best part of 20k spent on her over the last couple of years.
List of the following work carried out,

Full rebuild in the last 3 months
Forged Pistons
Forged Con rods
ARP header bolts
ACL big ends
ACL main
Rodger Clark oil pump
650cc injectors
uprated fuel pump
Helix 6 pad paddle clutch
FP green turbo
3" perrin turbo intake pipe
Aeromotive fuel reg
Hybrid Developments Front Mount
Rodger Clark headers
3"custom exhaust system
Turbo smart E-boost 2 controller
Jetex Air filter
Fidanza light weight flywheel
K-sport 8pot 330mm front brakes
Eibach 35mm lowering springs
Whiteline front anti roll bar
whiteline rear anti roll bar
whiteline front drop links
whiteline rear drop links
Forge dump valve
small battery conversion
HID front lights
Toyo tires all round fairly new
Sim-tek stand alone management
424.5 bhp
355 torque
Only ever run on v-power
1.65 bar boost
This was the last rolling road figures when the Sim Tek was fitted and that was a couple weeks ago at Alan Jefferys.

It is quite rare to see this modal in this colour.
It also comes with,
Full leather heated seats
Electric mirrors
Electric windows
Electric Sunroof
Tinted windows
A/C
Taxed and Tested

The car is running very very nice and there is not to much lag. The inside is spotless. The outside does have some stone chips on the front and a couple marks in the paint work on the back. No panel damage and always kept clean and polished
The car covered 37k before the rebuild and has just covered 42k with the rebuilt engine. She was run in with no boost for 4k with the correct oil changes at the correct time.
There is a nice big folder with every last thing this car has had done and most of it at Alan Jefferys.
At the moment my private plate is on the car and this will be removed before handing over.
You are welcome to come and view the car if your intrested in buying her. You will be required your full driving licence, Full comp insurance and proof of address before a test drive is even come into the conversation.
More pictures can be sent via email

As for price, im not sure how much its worth so open to offers

Hi Griff

I'm not interested in buying your car, but I wanted to ask about your experiences of modding a WRX rather than an STi. I own a WRX which I am in the process of modding, however sometimes I wish I had bought an STI instead. You have gone to long lengths here to get over 400bhp out of the car , I'm wondering if you started like me, bought the car a little too quickly (although I love my car) or if you chose the car specificially. I know this is off topic but thought I'd ask.

Umm it depends what you want, there are fors and against on both the 2.0 and 2.5 builds. 2.5 you will have alot more torque but the 2.0 is stronger once rebuilt. the sti will come with alot more goodies where as the wrx there is alot to up grade. 450bhp is really the max you will wont to push a 2.0 else it will get to laggy for everyday driving. I like mine as its a wolf in sheeps clothing and that was want i wanted. i didnt do it all at once it was done in stages and a i bought it with some bits done already which made a differance in cost. the engine rebuild happened as i melted a piston on the standard block running 360bhp that was down to fueling issues though the chances are it wouldnt be at this stage if that didnt happen lol. I think if i bought a impreza with the intetions of running big power i would of gone down the sti route as the money its cost to get mine at this stage i could be in the high 500bhp but really it doesnt matter how much power you got its how good you can drive
hope that of some help

thanks for the reply, I definitely agree its how good you can drive! My WRX is faster and handles better thank any other car I have ever owned, and gives me plenty of thrills! A few tweaks here and there will help to improve the handling. I suppose unless you are a regular track goer you wont be getting the most out of an STI. I'm currently in the process of upping the power to around 330bhp, which should be ample for now then I can do some styling and suspension mods.

I think the car has been more of a project hasn't it than anyhting, sorry if I came across as being rude mate, its cost a lot though to get that extra bit out of it, I appreciate it has all the good/nice handling & suspension mods too

i knew what ya ment bud, its kinda when you start uprating its hard to stop and before you know it well..... i think if i kept the car it would only be improved on more lol but the biggest joy over 400bhp with 240 quid tax lol only need to get some bigger injectors (again) for the magic 450bhp........ quick someone buy it before the misses see's me buying more things and kicks me out

I think you would get 14k if you were prepared to put it back to standard and sell the mods seperately?

It's a shame to break a great looking car like that mate.
How much for the rear ARB and links?
