The car has been faultless from day one.
With all the bad press about the ej257 engine and after discussing with Duncan at Racedynamix, @ 20,000 miles Duncan did a conservative/safe fuel map and also released a few more ponies in the process! So running a nice reliable (circa) 340bhp (never had it on R/R) and pulls hard in every gear.
Currently on 30,000 miles but being used daily for work commute.
Just had 30k service at Hendry's
Always warmed up and cooled down, only ever ran on Shell V-Power (mapped to V-Power also).
Washed and waxed with Swissvax products.
Damage:
Slight paint graze on front wheel arch (where I glanced a sand filled builders sack) and a few stone chips on bonnet (all touched over with genuine Subaru touch up paint).
Drivers seat bolster leather has worn (see pic)
slight kerbing on 2 of the alloys (rim only easy to restore)
Fantastic car to drive and certainly the best Impreza I've owned.
Parkers have these at £16.500 in good cond (basic UK spec, not with all the Euro goodies, this car was over £28k new)... But I need the cash for a new purchase so
£16,500
Picture of when I got it:


Now looks like this with 330s Exhaust, mud flaps, JDM crystal fog cluster mod & 20mm spacers



These were taken before spacers and JDM fog cluster replacement

Hello mate,
Sad to see you are selling the hatch.
I was wondering how much you would sell the intake pipe and front splitter for if you where willing to split.
I had tried to PM you but your inbox was full
Thanks
Paul

Rob,
If I get no interest to sell it as the Premium Euro Spec then I'd consider a seat deal. But I want to give the complete car a good run on pistonheads/ebay classified first.
P4aul, Same as I said to Rob, If the car does not attract the required attention then I'll start to strip my "extras" but you have 1st refusal on the splitter and air intake pipe.
Sorry Grahamc, I'm looking to get a TDV8 RRS so leaving the Subaru family totally.
Ted: I've seen on the other thread a head unit swap may not be a simple procedure, so will pass on that offer!
Cheers L.J.F.
Only thing left was to get it on Tein springs to maximize the spacer's aggressive stance... we will see..if it does not sell I may still do that!
