Default Immaculate Low Mileage Subaru Impreza Sti 8

*SOLD*

Reluctantly for sale is my stunning 2003, Impreza Sti Version 8. I have owned this car for 4 years and it has been one of the best cars I have ever owned. It has been garaged for most of it's life, apart from a short time when I first bought it and it was my daily runner. It then went to live at our unit and has been there ever since. The car came out of the factory with PPP upgrade, however all parts have now gone as it has been further modified whilst I have owned it.

The car has covered 49644 miles and will come with 12 months MOT. If I'm offered asking price, car will go with 6 months tax on it.
Last year the car was wax oiled underneath.

Comes with loads of receipts and 2 keys. Has RAC trackstar fitted but not activated. 2 keepers before me.

Service history present, Part dealer and part specialist.

As it stands the spec is as follows:

365bhp 345lb/ft
Walbro 255 Uprated Fuel Pump
HDi Front Mount Intercooler with hardpiping relocated by GR Performance and powder coated in red by Two Brothers Coating.
Battery relocated to boot by GR performance.
Roger Clark Motorsport filter and trumpet
Washer connected to intercooler spray
Japspeed Exhaust
3 inch downpipe, decat
356mm K Sport 8 pot brake kit on front with Orangestuff pads
316 godspeed rear grooved discs with brembo calipers and Ferrodo DS32500 pads
18inch OZ Racing Alloys
Exceedy organic clutch and forged lightened flywheel
Gates timing belt fitted less than 1000 miles ago
RBF600 brake fluid
Toyo T1R tyres
Varta blue battery, less than a year old.

Front Strutbrace
BC BR Racing Coilovers
Whiteline Rear Anti Roll Bar
Whiteline Front Anti Roll Bar
Whiteline Anti Lift Kit
Whiteline alloy front drop links
Whiteline alloy rear drop links

Side Pillar Boost and Oil Temp Gauges
Carbon fibre mirrors
Lester front bumper
Front and Rear Tints
Front and Rear Tints
Alloytop engine mount
Sabelt steering wheel
Zero sports slam panel

*The following items are NOT included in the sale*
*Alloy towing hooks*
*Sabelt harnessses*

This car stands out from other Subarus. Everything in it is pristine and the modifications have made it into a well handling car that goes really well. No understeer The Lester front gives it a different look. The bumper has just been painted, so no stone chips yet.

I'm not going to lie, I'm gutted at the thought of this car going, but I'm not getting the use out of it as Craig at Distinctive Detailing has made it into a show piece and I'm reluctant to park it anywhere, therefore it's rarely used at the moment. I want to buy a bike and I can't justify having both.

I'm looking for £8250 for this car as it sits without the 3 items mentioned above. Yes, you will get a cheaper one elsewhere, but you will struggle to find one as low mileage, tastefully modded and in as good condition.

No timewasters or tyre kickers please. Car can be viewed at Distinctive Detailing in Sheffield.

If this was 1250 cheaper I would've took this straight away. Looks mint and a very good spec.

Indeed. Will be surprised if it sells for that but hey, there's the perils of selling to dealers.

I'd have rather it gone to someone that would love it like I did.

It says that over 10k has been spent on it. Not true. Mods cost me 5k and it's not 545lb/ft, obviously.

Enjoy the car. Hope you love it as much as I did and have as much fun. I'd say it's one of the best cars I've ever owned.

Shame you couldn't have seen it a few weeks ago for a reasonable price instead of paying over the odds to someone who put no love or work into it at all.

If you want any info or pics of work done along the way just give me a shout.
