Default 555 Special Edition STI Version II- Immaculate

SOLD SOLD
Enjoy Chris, safe journey back to Wales pal.



I know i have not had long, but it is just too too nice to get modding on, and dont want to track this as its just to damn nice.
If any offers come my way, my car will be put back to the original 16" Speedlines and standard front brakes. Just had professional valet and MACHINE POLISH, and Supaguard! Steam cleaned throughout. Looks and drives like a 2 year old well looked after scoob
Spec-
Close ratio 5-speed box, tight and solid with no grates/crunches, perfect.
Roof vent.
I/C spray.(perfect working order)
Red top sti engine( on tick over engine is virtually silent)
3" Cobra open neck turbo back stainless exhaust with 4" box, similar to Blitz Nur Spec R.
TD05 turbo
TSL Green panel filter.
Walbro fuel pump.
Full comprehensive history.
Full SVA report.
Just had FULL service.(inc new cambelt, Millers 10/60,NGK PFR6's).
79k.
Turbo timer.
One owner in UK.(Policeman)
Imported 2007
Pulls nice and firm through all the gears.
T+t
New starter motor.
New heavy duty battery.
Impeccibly looked after with no issues at all.
Made 288bhp with dyno printout.
MAF and Lambda cycles as should be.
ALWAYS ran on V-power.(once a month some pro boost)
All tyres(T1-Rs) and brakes are fine,
No remap needed with only exhaust, so a very good result imho.
For a 14 year old car, it is by far the best i have come across, apart from show ones! Couple of tiny scratches on front bumper, but that is it.
Car is superb in/outside, seats feel very tight, dash and trim are perfect and everything works as it should.
If anybody is after a mint version 2 sti 555 special edition then this is definately worth a look, a very strong, original, nearly 100% standard car. A credit to former keeper, who had all servicing and maintenence work carried out by Weston Performance, who can vouch for work on top of Carnetix, where i immediately took it for service and thorough check over, and was given a 100% clean bill of health.









£3000 ono
Please only serious and genuine comments and replies folks

Busy on here then

Genuine offers considered

Cant really express how straight all panels are. No sign of ANY paint work. After owning 9 previous Imprezas, this little gem is the nicest with its originality and near standard form. Drives perfect with no pulling wheel from hands, no sqeeks, rattles. With just under 290bhp in standard form it has ballistic acceleration especially through the short ratio box, which is as crisp as new.
Had a new clutch back in 07' so still feels fine.

Free Bttt for an absolute stunning car from a fellow STI 555 owner.

This looks to be one of the best unabused example's of a 14 year car around.

Try it on Pistonheads.

Again, many thanks for positive comments, but its still sat here sparkling in my garage waiting to be seen

Had a few pm's asking what the lowest price i will accept, it does need viewing to be honest, then an offer made. I am realistic and know the price is a wee bit negotiable.
Get back to the top!

Cheers young Dean, how you doing, did you end up getting a dirty diesel for the time being kid?

Forgot to include Walbro fuel pump
All ready to go now as back to original standard form, with gold Speedlines/T1R's, calipers/discs and swapped exhausts with my HKS Hi-ti power system off my other Impreza, tbh the HKS is a better exhaust than the Cobra, only done this as the Cobra is slightly quiter
Just been Zymoled and can be viewed all week at Carnetix, Melton Mowbray, Leic.
