interior

basically pretty standard except for an oil pressure gauge and a blitz boost gauge which ive just fitted and just found out it doesnt work properly - doh. also there is a charge temp gauge to measure the inlet temps.
seats and carpets all in good condition.

its set up more as a track car tbh in which it performs very well. last year i hardly used it as i was doing the arches but the year before i did a couple of sprints , came 3rd in one of them beating alot more powerful cars. the car was built for minimal lag rather than all out power

power is an estimated 400hp as i am also mapped for 20% methanol, had it mapped on the road and never bothered with a rr power run. the car is running 1.65 bar peaking at 1.7, it is a very quick car.

always run on millers fully synth oil and redline gearbox oil. ive had the car 5 years but simply dont use it anymore as i have got an 8 month old to look after and alot of house stuff to do.

there are a few area where they could be tidier eg. some areas could do with a mop where there is orange peel when the arches were done but all in all it is a clean tidy car.

6 months mot and 6months tax

its done 91k , 13k on the forged engine. which was done on the 16/6/2011. it may well have done less but i am basing this on when i had a powerfc fitted when the engine work was done (cant remember if the powerfc converted km to miles or not, i have a feeling it didnt) ,approx a year later i had the esl fitted because the powerfc wasnt controlling the idle very well, if this is the case its probably done about 3k less.

just done an oil change on engine and box

Looks a good car but the pics of engine are unfinished as no tmic filter etc
Get some better pics up pal

final price drop bleedin bargain, i am not going lower than 5.5k

 

Looks a stunning motor. GLWTS and that's a bargain at that price, Hold out and a genuine buyer should come along.

I like the reg on the bonnet, the number plate mount doesn't look out of place either

Got the same splitter to fit to my STI V5 as well. given me some encouragement to crack on with it

Sorry for the rambling's but a really nice car you got.

 

i cant even remember why i got the sticker reg for the bonnet, there was a reason honest, really i wanted a smaller reg plate but the ones i found were either too big or way too small.

i was really happy with the splitter except the corner bits dont come in far enough to join the upright part of the bumper but they came in gloss black so i didnt have to paint them.

tbh i thought it would have gone by now. i had it on ebay and some yank bid and now he`s not answering my emails.

thanks i think it looks smart meself lol

 

Certainly does look smart that's for sure.

the corner bit's for the splitter are the same as mine, not sure how far your's go out, but mine are annoyingly a few mill to noticeable.

Surprised it is still for sale, if someone buy's my sti and uk turbo wagon for £5k or so, ill be at your door in a flash

 

Isn't that chy bloke a bit of a cowboy engine builder?

 

Was when he shut up shop but his earlier builds were pretty decent, my old 2.35 from pennine did 666bhp and was still going strong as a compression test was done when I sold the car to the new owner back in september last year

 

Why did he go from being good to shoddy tho?

The car looks great btw and im interested, have you pictures of the paintwork that needs attention?

 

Guess he fell in love with his own hype and other interests outside of subarus seemed more appealing from what I could tell, when I called it a day with him and he shut up shop about 6-12months after that

 

It needs mopping in a fee places. It's hard for the camera to pick up.

 

There's alot of good Chy builds apparently is mechanic/ fitter guy wasn't up to much but he knew his stuff about building engines. AFAIK he built the banana engine.

 

Looks beautiful, if I was looking to buy a Impreza I'd buy this. GLWS

 

Thanks 5 years of work lol
Hopefully its sold now someone's coming to look on Saturday

 

SOLD

 

Knew it wouldn't hang around for long, where has it gone to?

 

A guy in Mansfield... He loved it. He sent me a message the next day saying thanks.
