Default Impreza WRX 430bhp £12500 Forged/APs/PPG Gearbox

For sale is my low mile 2002 Impreza WRX.

This example has covered a shade over 31k from new and has been extensively modified back in 2008.

Running a proven 430/430 I can assure you it really shifts even by todays standards. 2nd and 3rd are savage on full boost.

All modifications have only covered 5k since the work has been done.

In my ownership I have sorted some niggles with the biggest one being the head bolts. After carrying out my weekly fluid level checks I noted that the coolant overflow was over the max line from cold which turned out to be a result of the updated head bolts stretching under full boost which resulted in head lift.

Fortunately for me I caught it at its very earliest possible stage. £2300 later I had the newest design head gaskets plus all the others and stronger head bolts fitted to cure the problem.

Combine that with a new fly wheel, radiator, PIA wipers, major service to include cambelt, all fluids to include correct gearbox fluid. I’m knocking close if not more than 4K keeping the car running as it should.

All the above has been done within the last 2000 miles.

Car is in great condition with original paint all round excluding the front bumper which was painted by the previous owner before I purchased the car back in October 2020.

Previous owner removed the car from use and stored for many years hence the low miles.

Minimal stone chips, no door dents, no scratches.

Wheels could do with being refurbished as they have never been done.

All inner rear 1/4 panels are rot free as are the towers. 2 very small bubbles on the lower corner where it meet bumper but they are small and certainly not bad. However this is something I wanted to get sorted but obviously I have decided to sell as i now have its replacement.

This is one hell of a car, loud, lovely PPG gearbox, really quick and is certainly a awesome reminder of how good cars used to be before all this modern crap came about with DSG boxes etc.

Price is £12500 which I appreciate is approaching STI money but for what I’m asking In todays market, that would buy you a dog. You would have to spend a serious amount of cash to make a Bug/Blob/Hawk to get it to this spec.
