Hi all, just joined up and looking for some info on this motor, hopefully someone on here knows it or knows previous owner.

Unfortunatly no reg.
Looks like its had quite a bit of money spent on it, im new to imprezas dont really know much about them as im a ford man (flame suit on) but this 1 has caught my eye.
I am thinking about a change, ive been looking at r32 gtr's and evo 6 tommi maks and currently own a mk1 focus rs.
Any help would be great thanks.

 

No way is it an 11k car. Its a prefacelift early model with an average spec, facelifted front end and decent paint. Yes it has some nice bolt on bits but is 4k over price imo

 

Would be a bit carefully wid sterling, went there to look at a merc and their attitude is a bit rude

 

I'm selling my p1 Widearch cheaper then that as need the cash

 

Its not a type r though

 

Open to serious offers on mine

Not THATS what you call a Type-R with some serious punch !

Thanks for the offer matey but i am really looking for a type r, good luck with the sale though

 

Really, that much over priced? Suppose they have put it up at that price seeing how many people bite. Need to see how quickly my focus sells and then start looking properly. It does look pretty tidy but really need to see it in person and get under it to see how good it is

 

Jesus christ just had a look at this, that is some spec!! Must be a real weapon!! Its sadly out of my price range as i dont want to insult you with a stupid offer

 

If you're even considering going to look at it then my advice is start reading up on them asap coz you clearly dont know what you're looking at and if you're willing to part with 11k on that you need testing. Its a 7k car, at best. Theres been 1998/1999 models with similar spec and condition sell for 6k recently so shop around.

 

Forged STI bottom end.... But no spec or who built it, sounds very standard and unforged engine.

 

As i said in my 1st post im new to imprezas and dont really know much about them. Thanks for the advice though

 

This is why i was wondering if anyone knew the car or previous owner just for some info on it, its had alot of work done so was suspecting its been owned by a forum member somewhere

 

It will be a standard engine and they are doing the usual and playing on the fact they have forged pistons, hardly a fully forged bottom end unless i seen proof and from a decent builder then id take it as a pinch of salt.

Hardly any info in the add and looks way over priced.

 

This should help you identify the GC/GF models: http://www.type-ra.com/impreza-timeline/
Typer99 has already pointed out it's an MY97 car with a facelift & altered interior/exterior

No worries, appreciate the honesty Lets just say it keeps the german brigade honest just as the 15 plate 335D x drive found out the other day

 

honest or whimpering? hahaha

 

I was put off by the spelling and attitude of the advert.
What's a "foged" engine?
"....Very Rare Subaru Impreza Type R (find another)" OK, done.

 

Thats great thanks matey, will have a mooch through it
