2005 Widetrack Blobeye Subaru Impreza STi
I’ve had this car for 3 and a half years and it has been a joy to own, It has been my 2nd/weekend car for almost 3 years now but I just can’t justify keeping it any longer as I need to free the money as I’m building a house.
It’s done everything so well I’ve just not wanted to part with it, It took me a while to find this car when I was looking as I wanted a well looked after widetrack for the DCCD and the last of the stronger 2.0 engines so I didn’t have to worry about the weak engine issues and inevitable expensive rebuild I’d have to have with a later 2.5 hawkeye. I also wanted a UK car as I’ve owned imports in the past and it just makes things easier and cheaper to have a UK car at the end of the day. In my ownership the car has been perfect, the only issue I’ve had is a flat battery (replaced with top of the range bosch) and a chip in the windscreen (again only just replaced)! I’ve been over to Germany in it and wouldn’t hesitate to just jump in and drive there again given how reliable it’s been.
Main points are:
• UK Car
• 2005 ‘05’ plate
• Cheaper £280 a year tax
• 78,000 Miles - may rise slightly
• 2.0 Engine
• 300+ BHP
• 6 speed Gearbox
• DCCD with fully auto mode
• Better interior than the earlier blobeye cars
• Climate control
• Water spray function for the intercooler
• Crystal Grey in colour
• Tax till February 2015
• MOT till February 2015 – no advisories
• 3 former keepers
• Front tyres Bridgestone RE050A with 5mm of tread remaining
• Rear tyres Bridgestone S0001 with 6mm of tread remaining
• Just had a brand new windscreen fitted due to a crack in the old one.
The car has a big service history folder full of receipts, invoices, past MOT’s etc. It has a full service history and has been serviced regularly by myself in my ownership always using the best parts & fluids long before anything was officially due.
Modifications from standard are:
• BC Racing BR fully adjustable coilovers with rubber rear mounts & adjustment extenders
• Prosport gauges in centre dash pod which light up either green or white (Oil pressure, Oil temperature & Boost pressure in BAR) Done properly using the plug above cylinder #3 for oil temp & stock oil pressure location, no sandwich plates here!
• ProR panel filter
• Godspeed grooved brake discs all round with almost no wear
• Carbone Lorraine CL5+ front brake pads almost as new
• EBC Orangestuff rear pads almost as new
• Stainless steel braided brake hoses
• Remap by GroupB Motorsport
• 2.5” stainless steel catback exhaust
• HRC 255lph fuel pump
• Witter detachable swan neck towbar (only ever towed a small motorbike trailer)
As the car is 9 years old it’s not completely perfect cosmetically, it has a few stone chips on the front and a couple of small dings, one on the front wing and one on the driver’s door and some small scratches on the bumpers.
Car is located near Conwy in North Wales, please contact me via PM on here.
Not really interested in part exchange unless you have a Seat Exeo ST which is quite a long shot!
£9000
