There isnt alot else i can say about the car, the car is immaculate and doesnt want for anything. Its just had a new Top Hose and Geniune Subaru MAF Sensor. Its never been sponge washed only microfibre wash mitts, snow foamed before every wash and i only use Dodo Juice Cleaning Products.
Before me taking ownership it had a cambelt, clutch, spigot bearing. Then when i purchased it i had a spark plug change using iridium plugs, fuel filter changed and a full inspection carried out at scoobyworld. Oil changed 3 months ago. Mot runs out in the end of August and Taxed till the end of the month but i will put 6 months on.
The car Rolling Roaded 3 weeks ago and made a healthy 304bhp and 282lbs of torque at stock boost and i have the graphs to prove. With a remap you would see around 320/320.

I have a full log book and have had import cars for a long time and they have always been in and that's buying from dealers/private.
Regarding MY99 the log book states it was registered 01/08/1998 I was only saying it was My98 (as in my car) impreza and yes it is a 555 Type Ra should of put that as the thread title my mistake.
Ltd was meant to state it being a limited edition. Hope that clears everything up.

This is my 4th import car and all of them have been in km and I've never had any issues
I wouldn't like them converted to be honest because it messes up the mileage readings being part km and part mph, plus it keeps it jdm

is the car still reading fully in km then mate (speedo and odometer) ?
i was always under the impression that it was a requirement to have at least the speedo converted to pass an mot but the odometer could read either ? If that's not been changed is the car still limited to 110mph (or whatever it is) then ?
Also has the car been mapped to suit our fuel (which i think they usually do on import but could be wrong)?

The speedo and odometer are both in km, the car has had two mots and has passed no problem. As I have said before all my import cars were all in km and have never had any issues whatsoever.
Yes the car is still limited to 112mph/180kmh
The car isn't mapped but was rolling roaded before I purchased the car at scoobyclinic and the afr's were spot on.
And again I had it rolling roaded 3 weeks ago at scoobyworld and the afrs are perfect, so no need to worry about that I always run it on v power and has always been fine no problems at all.

Right i have just checked with our Mot Testers at work (BMW) and they said the only legal requirement is a rear fog lamp (which is hard wired in the drivers side rear light) And when they input the odometer reading they swap it to Km on the Mot Computer
