Here we have my very special 2002 WRX STI 'Prodrive' Impreza.
Professionally built over 2 years (at vast expense), by TDR in Warwick (Thwaites Development Racing).
Every bit of the car has been race prepared. It was built as a hillclimb / time attack / track day car, whilst I was recovering from a serious knee accident.
This is a serious investment! Every day that goes by, cars built to this spec are broken for their parts...the cars are therefore becoming more and more scarce! As an example..look how valuable an Audi Quattro Turbo sport is now (£70k).
The car has been stored in my garage under a cover, with an occasional 'run-out'..it's probably covered 1000 miles in 5 years.
I'll try and summarise the spec...but I'm not the engineer! so any questions, please ask!
Engine:
2.1 litre fully forged race engine, using RCM parts throughout, including pistons, tuned crank, ends, etc
RCM baffled sump
Prodrive 6 speed gearbox
New big turbo system (standard mount) coupled to 3" stainless RCM exhaust system
Big injectors
Race fuel system including swirl pot, high pressure lines etc
FMIC
Switchable ECU...two maps installed now, 1.0 bar and 1.2 bar, 400 and 420 hp. Now it's ready to up the boost as it's run in properly.
Switchable launch control and anti-lag
Suspension:
BC coil-overs all round, complete roll bar systems throughout
STI brakes all round with upgraded discs
Interior:
rear of the car has been stripped out. Full safety systems roll-cage throughout.
6 point harnesses, coupled to homologated seats.
Dashboard is complete and working...including the stereo (!)
Two sets of black alloys and tyres...one sticky set and one 'wet' set. All perfect
Exterior:
In great condition with full WRX vinyl artwork
It is great fun and very very quick. It handles like its on rails.
Just the engine alone was £12k!
I am open to serious and sensible offers.

Prodrive 6 speed Gearbox.......how much did that set you back?

12k just for the engine........can we see paperwork for that please

jonof

The car is an original PPP model. The updated 6 speed box was developed in conjunction with Prodrive
I have a huge file with all the paperwork.

The box is no different to a non ppp car.

Also whats a 'tuned crank' ?

Just as I suspected.......

Wouldn't like to think of the cost of a Gearbox from prodrive.

SmurfyBhoy

Prob 16k lol

jonof

i believe that Prodrive were involved in the development of the 6 speed box, for Subaru.
The crank is Arrow Precision Engineering, billet, balanced . That's what I meant by tuned.

SmurfyBhoy

Ooo,

Billet Crank sounds pretty expensive

What else you not tellin us...

jonof

It was...! Seem to remember £2600 from RCM.

The problem with your ad is there is not enough detail.

jonof

the problem with my ad is I'm not with the cars file...i hope to pop back and get the file in the next few days then I can add to it

jonof

Maybe this will explain a bit more! I think we've missed a few bits off the list too..link block and camshaft!

This engine build sums up the attention of detail that was focused towards this whole build.

I am thinking about taking her to Trax at Silverstone on this Sunday

jonof

Here's a list, although missing a few bits
