Some details

This Car HAS been on the Track but it has been Serviced regardless of cost.

I do drive it quickly and as a result goes exceptionally well compared to some other type 20's I've tried. A recent compression pressure check on all cylinders really suprised Iain Litcho, he said they were best he'd seen regardless of the milliage. Pootling about in these Performance engines is not the best way to treat them IMHO.

You can drive it as hard as you like, Any Test, this is not like some 2.5ltr 7,000rpm UK cars which Subaru UK De-tune to 6,500rpm to prevent "Ring Land failure" and head Gasket issues.... You WILL be impressed.

OK no engine is bullet proof but the JDM 2.0ltr unless you ABUSE the engine, it should last another 5 years without a rebuild, it's strong as an OX it's NOT a UK Hawkeye 2.5ltr. The STD UK 2.5ltrs struggle to get over 370bhp reliably but loads of JDM's are running 400 to 500bhp on the standard internals no problems. Say no more and hence they are the engines of Choice

2 owners from new, I have owned it since March 2006 @ 1200 miles ish, Always used on Optimax or SUL if none available. This car is remapped to run on 97 octane fuel but will run on 95 octane "to get you to home" as long as you dont boot it, cheap fuel normally means an early death of a Scoob


It has had one very minor bump on front bumper, me being a Blind git caught a stupid carpark low post. As you can see the damage was not that great and the bumper has now been repainted. Please dont comment on my bug cleaning skills this was taken after a 200 mile journey back home

The bonnet stone chips were very noticable after the bumper was re-sprayed. So bonnet has also been resprayed now and looks like new

What condition is the condition is the bodywork in and what tax and mot?

 

Nice looking car Tony

TX.

 

Good luck with the sale

 

Body work in pretty good condition for a 5year old car IMHO
with one slight door ding mostly stone chips and small marks etc that are not so noticible with a coloured polish

Everyones expectations are quite different, what I think is Great you might think it's **** and vice versa. I don't do "Colour n Shine comps" and it's certainly not concourse standard.

MOT December Taxed IIRC
TAX April 2012 (£260 a year)

Tony

Thanks for the Prompt




Pictures up soon ish

 

Nice write up Tony (ok, we get it, JDM is best! ).

GLWTS - very fair price, all you potential "ultimate Impreza" owners!

Andy

 

Did I mention that????

 

The best ad I've read in a long time and it goes well

 

Thanks Kev

 

I've seen this car in the flesh and I can assure anyone thinking of buying it that this car is in very good condition.

As for the 'issue' that this car has been tracked; who can say that they haven't given their Impreza 'the beans'. It makes me laugh when I read statements like 'never raced', why would you buy a performance car and drive it like a nun?

A cracking car owned by a really nice guy.

 

Any more pics?

 

Very sorry been very busy putting garage base down for the new Car. I promise new pics up for next weekend.

Tony

 

Pictures will up on Sunday

 

Ohhh what you getting Tony?

 

A new 2011 saloon 320R not sure of dark blue or Red yet. Will decide tomorrow.

Tony

 

nice Tony congrats, bet your going to miss this one though. was looking at them on the web yesterday, would be stuck between the saloon or the hatch i think the revised front end makes the hatch look a lot better.

out of the colours personally not normally a fan of red cars but there was something about it made it stand out and i liked it. not sure what it is like in the flesh but black, blue, sliver and white are what you always see, red on the other hand would be different, some dark grey alloys and it could really stand out of the crowd. just depends on the resale value and how many people would consider red but guess it depends on how long you want to keep it for.

if you don't mind me asking what deal did you get, pm me if you would rather.

what did make me laugh was the offer for the cosworth impreza, now available via PCP lol cant even give them away. what got me was after 3 years of £750 a month they will only secure you a 20k trade in value, might just be me but a 30k drop on a limited edition run that you supposedly cant get your hands on and is the best impreza ever, laughable as in 3 years time a 15 year old 22b will still be worth more then the cosworth.

any how back on topic,

btt for a well respected member and a well cared for car

best of luck with the sale and the new car purchase.........get RED you know it makes sense

 

was flicking through pistonheads and if it looks like this then red for me

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/lar...del=IMPREZASTI

best of luck Tony

 

yes i will as it goes so well the new one isn't as quick but this will now be my shopping car

Wife wasn't sure about the red

Well tossed a coin today and Red won (so i'm happy

So deposit is now down on a 320R San remo Red, ASt suspension and front lip spoiler.

Like most dealers I could a much better bargaining posistion with straight cash deal. I got the normal FOC extras like STi mats, gap insurance, petrol etc and some cleaning stuff. I did Ok and battled over the PX price but he was now going to have to sell his liver to fund all the extra's and PX value. feeling sorry for him I've probably paid for the FOC stuff

My wife says i'm totally **** at bartering abroad, normally end up paying more rather than less I Shoud have got her to do it, she'd have had all his organs aswell

But to be honest i'm completely happy with the deal that was done So I'm not really going to say if you don't mind. I never get upset on Holiday if someone got their Holiday cheaper.

"if" you went to Cross Roads and saw Elliot I'm certain you'd get a far better deal than me.

Tony

 

How much track work has this seen?

 

New pics put up on Top Post


I don't usaully drive excessively fast on UK roads and NO-ONE buys a performance car to drive slowly So I get my buzz in a safe place on the track

Unlike cars that have "Never been on track" but has been ragged to death and never treated with respect. I have always alway changed oil before of after (dependant on Oils age) a trackday . Hence average Oil age is under 1,500 miles.

The car is always warmed up and cooled down, always run on Optimax or SUL and driven quickly on track. My T20 has done far less track miles than my UK Bugeye did in 3 years.

I've work it out a roughly at 30 miles at each session on events like Trax/japfest/rallyday/time attack/ ARDs training and about 150miles on open pit lane events

2006 = 210m
2007= 120m
2008 = 60m
2009 = 270m
2010 = 300m
2011 = 210m

so approx 1150 miles total

Tony

little video -

 

That's a type 25 mate, not a type 20!

Type 25s have forged 2.5 engines.

Cracking car Tony. Good luck with the sale.

 

Still an awesome video that should be watched by all. Just to give a feel to whay Litchfield is about - not that anyone will need telling.

Great looking car and Im sure it will sell sharpish.

 

Thanks it should do only about three to four week to go before the new one is ready. Then it will go in as PX if not sold.

Tony

 

Since you think the UK 2.5's are crap Tony
I thought I would mention how well I know you car and how SH1TE it is





Only joking mate, nice car at a good price. GLWTS

 

PMSL budgie your a bad old egg LOL

 

So Price now reduced to £13,500 no offers please unless greater than
