Lightbulb :: :: :: *REDUCED* MY03 WRX PPP in WR Blue, 43k :: :: ::

SOLD

WRX PPP in WR Blue Blobeye MY03 (52 plate, Jan03) 55k (cam-belt service just done, about to drop the oil....again ), Taxed & MOT until Jan 2007.

£11,750 - REDUCED ovno, make me a sensible offer ! The car is available to view in Leeds, W. Yorkshire.

The car was given a full detail recently by the legendary Steve Graves. CLICK to see the hard work and outstanding results.



This is the latest pic I have of her as she looks now....


Appearance....

Genuine Subaru STi high level spoiler £900
MRO front grille (colour coded) £150
Subaru lower mesh grille £130
Full detango with LED indicators (much more visible than silver bulbs)
Prodrive Kaylan Rally flaps in blue £240
Colour coded sills (done by a professional bodyshop, so not dimply like the early Subaru sprayed ones)
Discrete "Prodrive" below each side repeator

Handling mods....

AST coilovers (12 position damp and height adjustable) £1186 fitted inc. vat
Whiteline 22mm adjustable rear ARB £140
Whiteline solid (steel) rear droplinks £45
Front upper STi strut brace £90
Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines £50
Mintex 1155 pads £90
Ferodo DOT5.1 fluid
New discs (Subaru OE) and pads fitted 10k miles ago

Performance mods....

PPP (Prodrive Performance Pack) 265ps (262bhp+) 0-62 4.8s, 155mph
JR Racing panel filter £45
Ram-air scoop and resonator removed (runs cooler, allows earlier spool up, makes induction & dump valve audible)

Security

Subaru Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser
Tracker
Clifford Blackjax £220







As you can see, the car is gleaming, and is renowned for always being the shiniest car at the WYIOC (West Yorks) meets. She is meticulously washed whenever she is even slightly dirty, even if that means 3-4 times a week in winter. She is waxed monthly with Meguiars NXT, and twice a year gets a full clay, ScratchX, NXT and then a layer of Simoniz Original (very hard wearing pure Carnuba wax). She is also booked in to have a full detail done on June 17th (now done and looks superb ). This will involve a full machine polish using a Porter Cable device and Menzerno polishes followed by Blackfire sealant and wax.
She has been nursed and loved since the day I got her, being warmed up before every journey however long or short, and cooled down during the last few miles of every journey. She is only ever run on Optimax/SUL, and has been run with Silkolene ProS 5W40 oil, changed every 5k. The service history is upto date, with main dealer services upto the 20k, and Scoobyclinic thereafter. The body warranty, which requires inspection and treatments on year 1,3 and 5 was done on year 1, I will have the year 3 done at the buyers request.

The standard WRX alloys are fitted with Toyo Proxes T1S tyres showing approx 3mm of tread.

I also have a set of silver STi alloys (£900+vat from dealers) fitted with Bridgestone RE070 (£166 each at dealers) tyres which I use as summer tyres, and showing over 4mm of tread. These can be included at extra cost. (These tyres are now at 2-3mm, but I can include a new set if the offer is worthy)

PM me offers/questions, please don't fill my thread with unconstructive opinions. Anyone wishing to test drive will have to prove suitable insurance, otherwise I will drive for you. Canvassers and Nigerian millionaires don't bother Payment by bank transfer only, car will only be released when my bank is satisfied funds are secured. Car is advertised elsewhere.

Default Pics from the detailing by Steve Graves




































NOTE :- The "W Y I O C" lettering on the boot has since been removed (was for fun at the NBO) and now has "I M P R E Z A" on it.

By next week she will also have fully adjustable coilover suspension. Worth IRO £1k, adds nothing to the price I must be mad

Prodrive quote 265PS, which I think equates to IRO 262BHP. It may pull a little more as it's fully run in, running on very good oil and with the slight mods to the air intake, but I've never done the rolling road thing.

Come on, she's a beauty and you all know it. Just softened off the AST's for 'round town driving Nice comfy ride with good cornering ability, and the benefit of being able to stiffen it all up in 2 minutes flat should I need to. £850+vat suspension system, plus the Whiteline bits and the styling mods. What more could you want to make one of the best blobeye WRX PPP's around Even if I do say so myself

Geometry just set up by Stuart Tams who although retired still gets out of bed and dons his overalls to set up Williams F1 car geometry Pure fluke that I managed to get him to do it, but the car is on rails now

Yup, definately on rails. Stiffened it up for a run through the Dales today, and boy does she corner flat now. Really don't want to sell her, but if anyone wants a superbly spec'd WRX in superb condition then look no further.

Just back from an intersting trip to deepest rural Devon & Cornwall, and the snow on the A30 over Bodmin was no match for my trusty Scoob Ferried several people home who'd had to dump their ordinary cars But some of them were overjoyed that the experience lead to them getting a ride in a Scooby

BTTT for my reluctant sale of the best car I've ever owned

Thanks kbsub. It would be easier for me to sell, but I can keep her if needs be. Gonna see what PX offers I get on her from some (s)dealers for cars suitable for the new business. The guy who I blagged the AST's off got £14k for his '04 from a Smart dealers seeing him walk away with a £7k POS and £7k in his back pocket. That would do, and all the worthwhile mods could be sold from mine before it goes. Heartbreaking to strip back to basic when so much thought, time, effort and expense goes into setting a car up like mine, and doubly frustrating when you read on here about people saving up to do exactly these mods and yet no-one seems to want to buy a car with it already done
