Default "AA53 PPP" Blob STi

As the reg. plate suggests this was a Prodrive car and is a 53-plate (early blob) STi. Spec as follows:


HKS mushroom induction
Forged internals (unsure of specifics but pistons are audible)
HKS SSQV mk3
ScoobyWorld afterburner exhaust manifold
ScoobyWorld decat
ScoobyWorld "Ninja" decat-back
Remap by Jolly Green Monster

Carbon Fibre aux belt cover
Rota Force Drifts 9J in 235/40/18
3SDM 0.05 9.5J in 225/40/18/9.5J
ScoobyWorld blue mudflaps with pink STi logo
Carbon Fibre copy of the Subaru v ltd. front splitter
Carbon Fibre Chargespeed bottomline skirts and rear spats.
ScoobyWorld Carbon Fibre B pillar covers
OEM Subaru wind deflectors
Carbon Fibre-centre roof-level spoiler
Standard STi high-level spoiler
Private plate AA53 PPP
Rear parking sensors

BC Racing coilovers. Car does not scrape except for mudflaps when going over speedhumps.
Whiteline ARBs front and rear
Whiteline anti-lift kit
Tarox 10 pot BBK
Standard rear Brembos
Car will come with original front Brembos which were rebuilt when I got the car and these calipers are therefore as good as new in terms of function...but I wanted more.

Standard STi8 interior.
Sony XAV-601BT head unit (was originally £450) with bluetooth/ipod/usb/mirrorlink/DVD/DIVx/touchscreen double DIN unit
Focal component speakers front and rear
Focal amp powering speakers in car
Focal sub in boot - really not huge, leaves plenty of space and does not overpower speakers in car.
Rockford Fosgate amp powering sub.
Dynamat lite in doors
Good speaker cable
Capacitor to reduce strain on alternator
Prospeed gauges - oil temp, oil pressure, boost
ScoobyWorld weighted STi gear ****

I have been extremely nit-picky throughout my ownership. As soon as I bought the car I got all fluids, belts, plugs, pads, disks, calipers and water pump changed by Powerstation. A couple of LEDs behind switches were out. I can't bear to see minor imperfections so I got new switches. Oil has been changed every 2500 miles. Powerstation have been used for the majority of mechanical work on the car as they are close.
The car was dyno'd at 344BHP and a similar torque figure. All you would need would be a bigger turbo and injectors to get some more poke.

Based in Gloucester. Let's start at £7500 and I'll evaluate offers via PM. Not in a rush to part ways and sell at a stupid price.

Not interested in a swap, no matter what you have. Not looking to break the car.

Let me know what pics you would like of the car and I will update the thread when I am home/ASAP.

I have the PPP certificate which corresponds with LV53 CME. I bought the reg. AA53 PPP, but have photos of this car on LV53 CME.

Mileage is just south of 82k.

Number of owners - will check V5C when I get home from work after gym tonight.

I have dyno charts for car during remap.

I have receipt for rebuild which states mileage at rebuild - believe it was about 45k miles on the clock at the time.

Plenty of receipts for items during my ownership. Owner prior to me was less meticulous but previous owners provided him with plenty of documentation which I inherited with the car.

Unfortunately there are no receipts for the engine build except for the price of the labour of doing the job. This was done prior to my ownership. The receipt for the build is by a company that no longer operates. Make of that what you will. In my opinion it's a good car but I'm the seller, so I would say that.

As I said in the original post, you can definitely hear that it's a built engine.

In what way would you describe it as a built engine, please don't think I'm being obtrusive because it's not intended

Without paperwork for the engine my friend then through my eyes you can't advertise it as forged I'm afraid as you don't know for sure, that noise you can hear could well be piston slap common on boxer engines.

Looks a lovely car tbf but without knowing the engine side of things which is where the money is then I don't think it will be for him tbh but I could be wrong, no doubt he will be watching this thread anyway.

Thanks for the honest answers tho pal

When I took it to powerstation, Andy said to me, "It's had pistons done then?" before putting it onto the dyno, without me telling him that it had any engine work done. You can hear the difference. At higher revs it's raspier and at lower revs it has a more metallic sounding note.

Just replied to your PM, Jack. Please excuse me if I come across as arrogant or rude, don't mean to but fully aware I may sound self-righteous by trying to justify a high asking price.

Craig, just tried to send you a PM but maybe the message I'm trying to send is too long, maybe my work PC is too rubbish to do so. Will try again tomorrow.

I bought these from a chargespeed main dealer. You can buy replicas from America if you want to. EBay is your friend.
