Default Does anyone on here own this car??

Sorry,but i am really rubbish with computers so i cannot put a link on here,but it is for sale on Ebay and the item number is 270076624353

(If someone can help with the link it would be appreciated.)

Just wondered if anyone knew of the car or it's owner as it is some distance from me,and i am really fussy.

Cheers in advance for any help.

WAY overpriced. (buy it now 14,500)
WRX running 340bhp? Without mention of mods (turbo etc)
"full STI bodykit"- Apart from skirts.
340 bhp, running standard brakes. Mine doesn't stop as it is, let alone with another 100bhp.

I don't know whos it is but its been on ebay before..... a few months ago IIRC

I think the guys name was Tim, I linked a mate to it coz he was after exactly that.... but wanted black in the end

I don't think he ever called him though.

340bhp Is a little bit over estimated I think, more like 265 he would be looking at.

But when I first opened the link I **** myself because it looked like my car at a very quick glance, and my drive is on a slant, with next to it. It looked EXACTLY like someone had taken a pic of mine and jus slapped it on ebay, then after a second or two i realised the red calipers, no blacked out windows, etc. lol

Jesus that was a scare though

No mate, but have a look at the photos it is an Sti remapped so potentially genuine. Why he put WRX I don't know. Trouble is the pics on ebay seem to be hit or miss whether you get red x's or not.

Multi stated the car would be 265 at most, however as well know an 05 Sti is standard 265.

Exactly,265bhp standard,305bhp with the PPP,and unless i am mistaken,with an EcuTek remap you can get close to the figure he is saying with no other mods on a PPP car can't you??

Does anyone know what's involved on an STI for the TSL 333 conversion,and what the cost is??

Im sure its a WRX, because the the title says WRX and has STi specs in brackets.

Bit off topic, but where and how much can I get those gauges fitted to my bugeye?

It's got STi Bumper, Scoop and Rear spoiler. Can't see the interior to see whether the seats are correct. Whatever it is, it has no warranty!!

But he says full STI bodykit so maybe its a WRX that has been made to look like an STI.

Post Think it's a WRX

The Brakes aren't big enough for an STi & the rear arch lip isn't there as on the 2005 STi's with the wider track. Having said that it looks great!

Sti of that age should have the gold brembo's im sure, the wrx has the reds. Im quite sure of this my old Sti had the gold brembos as standard, why would you change a 2005 cars brakes to the reds?

Also, rac data check:
Vehicle detailsManufacturer SUBARU Model IMPREZA WRX Body type SALOON Colour BLUE Fuel type PETROL Date manufactured 22 March 2005Number of previous owners 3

Is that 3 plus current or 3 including?

Why would anyone go to the expense of changing a WRX to an Sti when they could just buy.......oh nvm

See,now that's why i asked you guys,i didn't think about looking for that,so we can now safely assume that it is "just" a WRX.

Cheers Steve!!
