Ok, so it's time to let my beloved 2001 WRX go to a new home!

It's been professionally tuned by Andy Forrest to 301bhp. A few specs first:

Engine

Hybrid TD04 turbo, supplied and mapped by AFP
STi intercooler
Prodrive backbox & H&S full exhaust with std cats removed and replaced by a sports cat within the Ninja downpipe.
STi pink injectors
Green panel filter

Suspension

Prodrive springs
Whiteline adjustable 22mm anti rollbar
Aluminium droplinks

Brakes

EBC Bluestuff NDX fronts (the ones everyone keeps going on about!), Ferodo DS2500 rears, AS Performance discs have covered only 5000mls.
Goodrich braided hoses
Dot 5.1 fluid


Condition

The car is in excellent condition. Dark green metallic - I went out looking for this colour and love it! There are the usual stone chips, a couple of very small ones on the bonnet, more on the front spoiler plus a couple of light scratches on the rear bumper. The roof, doors, wings and front panels are immaculate. There are a few scratches on the std 17" wheels, but no rust etc as I had them powder coated a couple of years back. The car has covered just over 96k miles (10k per year), with a full service history and Silkolene Pro S fully synthetic oil for the 5 years that I' have cherished this car!

Visited Subaru specialist SW Motorsport recently. Steve said whover bought this would be getting a good car. The garage owner where my routine servicing is done, GB Motors, said he'd always liked the car and would buy it himself if he had the spare cash!

So what's it like to drive??

Well, Andy F calls the TD04H a "good wee turbo", because although others will give higher headline bhp figures, the fact that it produces it's power from 2500revs results in a car that is very driveable. At the same time, it pulls all the way to 7000revs.
The car has what in effect are Scoobynet's "recommended WRX suspension mods". The Prodrive springs and Whiteline ARB result in a car which is sits flat and composed on the bends, with the usual understeer dialled out. It's a lot of fun, yet at the same time the ride is pretty good!

The car had a service and MOT in April 2011 is taxed till November. 4 brand new Kumho KU39 tyres were put on in April 2011 - they've done less than 100 miles!


Viewing essential - I'm near Edinburgh.

Now reduced from £3790 to £3490 or nearest offer (Please PM me with offers or for email/phone details).

Hmmm - anyone tried selling a car on fleabay? How'd it work out?

Have to say personally have never done so but obviously a good few do !! from what I can see thou mate the vast majority off subs are just not selling on ebay come end off auction, spoke to a guy the other week who had his 02 bugeye up for sale on there, low mileage - 50k, 3 owners from new , fsh in wrb colour and it only received one bid and that was £2900- so yep it sold for that !!

have spoken to others sellers who cant even shift 55 plate blobs for £5k and thats with again low mileage and genuine full service histories.

yours is a lovely, lovely car mate, if anything as already mentioned the colour is possibly putting a few buyers off, most buyers are looking for the usual blue/ silver or whites also appreciatte that a lot off money has been spent on the car and its been very well looked after but a lot off lower end subaru sales are based on what price its going for and not just how well its been looked after / had spent on it.

again very best off luck with sale mate.

andythejock01wrx

Yup, it was indeed a lovely lovely car. It ran great. I hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I did!

SOLD TONIGHT!

Excellent news mate, did you get what ypu were asking ?? did you say what was next ??!!

andythejock01wrx

Hello Jono,

will look out for you when you venture over into fife with it !!

p.s did you old car stay in the edinburgh area ??

andythejock01wrx

Auld car went to Aberdeen area. Might be seen around Haddington as that's where his ma lives.

Cheers re the Litchfield. To answer - a) Noticably faster b) handling - wow! c) pretty noisy, but I love it!
