1996 JDM WRX Race Car for sale
Currently set up for a 'production' spec race series so the car is a pretty standard spec, however, ideal for Nippon Challenge (GT300 class), CSCC Modern Classics, hill climb, or even as a very good exciting track day car as V5 present.
Car is very well sorted on the handling front and very competitive and was a front runner in the Red Dragon 'Subaru Cup' (2nd overall) and also in the GT300 category gaining several overall podiums against more potent, lighter machinery.
Car originally prepared by X-spec in Hinkley but much improved since purchased in 2009
