Up for sale is my much loved Impreza WRX Type RA,i have enjoyed every moment of owning this car and will be greatly missed but would like to move on to a newer version impreza.
The car was imported in 2000,
it has coverd just over 122k kms which is around 76k miles,
there is MOT untill 8th of september and is Taxed untill end of feb next year.
i have done a few mods to the car which include:
Polar Performance chip
3" Turbo back exhaust system
Induction kit,
Exeddy uprated clutch kit,
Blitz BOV
Cosworth 1.1mm multi layer steel head gaskets,
i also have receipts from the previous owner for a full engine rebuild a few years ago which included Cosworth oversized forged pistons,Graham Goode modified oil pump, new gaskets and bearings all round.

Body wise the car is in very good condition for a 17 year old car, paint work is top condition, it has had a light blue pearl applied over the standard Subaru Feather white, which on a nice sunny day really makes this car stand out from the rest,
I have just fitted a mid level rear spoiler, much nicer than the original low level but that will be included with the car if the new owner wishes to re-fit it,
it also has a new H.I.D headlight bulb kit fitted.

Transmission and handling, the car sits on original springs and shocks,
it has 17" new age wrx wheels, all tyres have loads of tred left,
it is still running the original close ratio type ra gear box, the way the car acelerates is really somthing else, put it next to a normal wrx and the differance is massive!

Brakes, its just had brand new front disks and Red stuff ceramic pads, calipers were stripped,cleaned and re-greased at the same time.

Inside the car its pretty much standard apart from greddy electric peak and hold Boost and Oil pressure gauges in a impreza specific pillar gauge pod, it has a set of lockward white dials and i have just fitted a kmh to mph convertor so the speedo now reads correctly.

I serviced the car around 500 miles ago which included: new oil filter, Mobil 1 motorsport 5w 50 oil, cooling system flushed and new anti freeze, it also had a new cambelt around 2k miles ago.

the only bad points i can find with the car is that there are a few small peices of trim missing from the insides which are: rear parcel shelf, rear door rubber seals and rear lower plastic sill trims, apart from those, thats it,
Theres proberbly a few things i have missed but if you have any questions then please feel free to contact me.

Hello Sean, nice example for the age. What power is the car running at with the Cosworth Forge internals? I take it the engine is still a 2.0 Turbo? What turbo is it running with too mate? Thanks Rob

 

Hello Rob, not 100% sure what power its running, its running 1.1 bar of boost, id estimate around 280-300bhp,
The engine is still ej20, however the pistons are 0.50 oversized according to the reciept,
also i better mention that its no longer running a closed deck block,unsure why, maybe the cdb was beyond being rebuilt.
It is running a TD05 turbo as per standard.

Thanks
Sean

 

Thanks Sean, I assume a px is not what you want? Rob

Sean

What block went in replacement then pal, who mapped it with the Polar chip?

Any other mods?

What are tyres like?

Applied Engine Code pls

 

its running a open deck block now, the chip is the generic type, 1.1bar boost, fuelling and ingnition alterd to suit ect.
All tyres have loads of meat left in them, just had 2 new rears fitted a few weeks ago.
