102k, its all miles no km I have the dealer receipt for the conversion, since I have had the car I have had this work done, it has had a full cambelt kit, new coolant, new hrc 255l fuel pump, new k and n panel filter, oil service with Millers cfs 10/50 (black Subaru oil filter) and a tweak by Bob Rawle producing 326/326 by delta dash. Always run on 99ron and now mapped for Momentum. It has a folder full of paperwork, rear diff by api, api fitted the last cambelt before I had it replaced and fitted an uprated oil pump, godspeed refurbished calipers with stainless pistons painted black with godspeed discs and Kevlar pads all around, cdf drop links, been on a ssm no problems, falken 453 all around with good tread, in the last few years it has had a new radiator too. Import documents from Tokyo to Southampton with container details. It has always been enthusiast owned as far as I can gather. Reason for sale is I would like a newage as a daily. I will post the original add up from when I bought the car:

This car was imported from new by Park Lane Motors. I have the original purchase receipt for £28,000. It has had 4 former keepers.

I bought this car in 2009 from another enthusiast with around 55,000 miles on the clock. It has currently covered 99,500 miles. It has Subaru service history stamped up to 45,000 miles where the previous owner and then I took over servicing.

Engine.
The engine internals have not been modified in any way except for the addition of a modified oil pump at 80,000 miles as this is a known problem with these cars (fitted with receipt by api). The exhaust is a ninja sports 100 cell cat down pipe (I have original cat), ninja resonated centre section and H&S back box. I have also added a Simota panel filter. With these additions I had Bob Rawle remap the car and it is now running 311bhp/321fIb (I have graph to prove). The engine is run on Millers CFS 10w50 and uses no oil between services. It returns between 25 and 27 MPG. Always run on V Power.

Interior
The car has unique leather and grey suede interior with embroidered STI logos. This cost to the original owner another £1000. It has folding mirrors and a parrot phone system. The stereo has been upgraded to an Alpine head unit (remote control) with iPod connection. It has uprated speakers with an amp and punch sub (in enclosure) in the boot (which is removable).

Wheels
The wheels are genuine Prodrive stamped P1 alloys with good Falken 453 tyres.

Bad points
The drivers rear wheel arch is starting to get bubble rust, I've had a quote for getting this done but haven’t gotten around to it.

I have extensive history with the car including MOT’s going back to 2002. The history reads as a who’s who of the Subaru world - API, Godspeed, CDF, Opi Oils, Aztec, Bob Rawle, etc.

It has detachable tow bar, Excedy organic Clutch, Red Samco hoses, Clifford G5 alarm with remote start.

These cars are getting rare, apart from the rear arch there is some paint flaking on the driver side bodykit, the clock doesn't work and the drivers door speakers do not work, I haven't looked at this. This is a genuine STI imported into the UK from new. I have probably forgotten loads but contact me for more info.

Price is £3k no offers.

No I bought it in june, I am selling to fund a newage which I want to go back to, I find them easier on me to drive with an illness I have, car is exactly as sold to me except for the mechanical work I have done and map tweak.

Also tax until march, not sure on tax rules but I do have the paper part. if applicable its included in price.

Checked on tax rules, looks like even if you bought tax before the changes you still have to claim tax back from the car and buyer taxes car. mot until March but if a problem will put a new mot on for the new buyer.👍

Are you going to break it

iTrader: (1)

No sorry the car is way too good to break, sure the breakers would make a few £££ if they bought it and did though.

Hi,
Do you have fitting certificate for the alarm as some insurance companies require it?
Did you get the tow bar from the previous owner?
Did you find the root cause of the blue smoke on startup? (https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...n-startup.html)
Can you also post some recent pics, especially the rear arch bubbling and the other paint damage.
How many miles has the car done since the exedy clutch was fitted and was the flywheel changed at the same time.
How long since the MAF was changed?

Thanks

Hello.

Yes there is a installation certificate for an alarm in the paperwork although I never had to use it, it had a maf and lamda from ICP so genuine parts within the last 18 months receipts to prove. No smoke whatever, as stated cambelt fitted by a very good Subaru tech I have used for many years. Ssm was used to check status, all ok. Bob then mapped it in august and everything was fine. I have the detachable tow bar. Used to trailer a motorbike around so nothing too hefty. I only have an iphone but will take some pictures when I get a chance of the rust bubbling and drivers skirt which has some marks (some will come off if detailed properly as it is shoe marks as I get in/out of the car. I would get it all sorted in the same job if I kept the car. As for smoke that post was from 2011 2 subarus ago This car has no known mechanical issues.

Api skimmed flywheel (invoice date 08/06/2010 and Exedy 230mm clutch from Aztec Performance dated 01/06/2010. No receipt for who fitted it so no idea of mileage.

I will post the photos when I can any more information you need don't hesitate to ask

Excuse the quality of the photos and location, iphone and drive of the house nothing supersonic.

The drivers skirt has some paint flaked off as described but some are shoe marks, its not that clear and I tried to take the worst possible angle of it.

Hello feel free to pass details on if interested.

notfub

iTrader: (4)

Doh, sorry about that mate.

With regard to the clutch, what mileage was listed on the MOT's prior to and after June 2010 as that may give an indication of the mileage at the time of the change?

Is the car running stock STI suspension and is this the original setup? Any bushes/springs/dampers been changed etc?

Is the bubbling on one arch or both?

Having not owned an import before (my 2 previous scoobs were uk spec), how painful is the insurance these days in relation to a uk car?

Is it possible to view this weekend?

gra2730

iTrader: (1)

Hello notfub.

It looks like the mileage around that time is around 50k, simple way of finding out I should of thought of that!!! It does not slip and engages/disengages as it should. The car is totally standard apart from modifications mentioned and as far as I know its the original setup with suspension. Nothing has been changed looking at the paperwork but it drives straight and true. As for the arch it is just that one, others are solid, as for insurance I use Gary Moulson and compared to my previous uk bugeye running 321 bhp there is no difference although I do have a extra years no claims although it is still 7 the maximum I can protect. I am 37 with 2 little ones though so its not as painful for me, gary does a great job with pricing though.

Yes its available to view apart from Saturday night as hopefully travelling to Bristol.

I hope this is all good information to you, I would say come to view I don't think you would be disappointed.

All the best

Thanks for answering the questions so quickly

I cannot help but factor in a clutch/fly change at some point in the not too distant future.
I know you stated that the price was fixed and I can understand why, considering the maintenance you have carried out since you have taken ownership. I'm going to do a little bit of research and have a think.

No problem, I am very fussy and this is my 7th Subaru so I can imagine some of what you are seeing at the moment if you have been looking. I am also a member of a couple of local Subaru clubs just to show you that I love these cars and know how to take care of them. As I said, car is mechanically sound and if you want to come and test the car for yourself feel free to pop over to take a look its about 30 minutes from the severn bridge

Hello Dave, hope the Subaru is going well I will definitely miss her when she is gone, had only one person turn up so far and wanted on the spot but had loads of trouble cancelling insurance policy from the jaguar they had, they also quoted silly money. The car only gets compliments but time to go back to newage👍 thanks for the offer of info too😄

Reef

iTrader: (2)

I'm confident the first person to drive it will buy it.

I'd be tempted myself if I hadn't ploughed so much money into my Blob.

No worries on helping with the sale, I had this car for 5 years and did 50,000 miles in her so know her inside out.

Dave

I hope it goes to an enthusiast too, it is on piston heads and eBay now so who knows, I did keep it only on Subaru forums for a few weeks hoping for it to go to one. I can see why you kept it for 5 years, smiles per mile for sure, just pesky cfs forcing sale, looking to go bug possibly blob, whatever it is definitely won't be as much fun. Hope the modding is going well👍

A lot of car for the money, Had a STi Version 6 which is pretty much the same as the version 5 and out of all my Impreza's(8 of them) it was the most enjoyable to drive, even with a exhaust and map they are so quick, it would take quite a modified newage to be able to keep up!!

Would love it myself tbh, but dont think the missus would let me have anymore cars!!!

Would love this but just bought a hawk wagon. But if it's still nocking around in the new year could be tempted as a 2nd car 😄. Really nice looking sti wagon, can't see it hanging around long

iTrader: (1)

Couldn't sleep so thought I would check my thread, thanks for the compliments, to be honest I am still surprised it's still for sale, there is a lot of rubbish out there and it's so much car for the money, you are right it will embarrass quite a few more powerful cars😎, I really would like to see it go to someone who is an enthusiast, Hawkeye wagon very nice, don't see many around😄👍 anyone who wants to view please don't hesitate to pm me...my misses is not into subarus at all so feel your pain, lol😳👍

Hi Gra
Just seen this. Was tempted myself but I see it's sold now. I've still got the Cupra R but thinking about a change and Scoobies do get under your skin.

gra2730

iTrader: (1)

Hello Malc, been a while you would of enjoyed the car, amazing point to point car, they definitely do get under your skin but funny enough thinking about another cupra as well, great daily your old one, I would come and see the black one but I don't have enough funds I doubt let the search begin!!!

MalcB

The Cupra R is going for about £4650 when I can get around to it. I must say they make great daily drivers and the mapped R is better on fuel than the Red one was. Often see 30 plus on the way to work (when there a lot of traffic about. You know what I mean) Good luck with your search

Yes bit too strong for me malc but I know it's a great car especially now you have mapped it, glwts😄 drop me a pm if you go subaru again, some of the boys have big power cars and quite a few strokers 2.1 and Iain has broken into the 600's with a 2.35, lovely cars
