Well after nearly 3 years of ownership and the pending arrival of my new GTR, my STi is up for sale. After discussion with a couple of people, I have come to the conclusion that the STi and GTR are just to similar (AWD, turbo, 400bhp, etc) and I would prefer to get a Caterham or Ariel Atom as a track car.

The aim of the car was not a track only car to be trailered to and from events, I wanted a little more go (target was 400bhp), decent handling and good brakes, in short, I wanted a track car that had the creature comforts (hmmmm, not so easy). It needed to behave nicely on the road and be suitable for track/event days. And this is what I ended up with....

Brakes
*Performance Friction (2 piece disks) on the front
*Grooved discs on the rear
*EBC Bluestuff pads all round
*Goodridge braided lines
*5.1 fluid
*Full refurb of the Brembo calipers by Godspeed

Suspension
*BC coilovers
*Whiteline front 22mm adjustable ARB
*Whiteline rear 24mm adjustable ARB
*Front droplinks
*Rear droplinks
*Anti-lift kit
*Front strut brace
*Full alignment setup

Engine
*Andy Forest TD05-20g turbo (BOV removed)
*850cc injectors
*Walbro fuel pump
*FMIC
*Induction kit
*Full 3" decat exhaust
*ECUTek Remap by Simon AKA JGM
*Battery replaced 4 months ago
*Cooling plate

This achieved 383bhp

Interior
*PSI3 unit added to monitor the ECU
*Rollcage for the rear half of the car - nothing in the front half
*Corbeau revolution seats the large ones for additional comfort - standard seatbelts retained for normal driving
*OMP seat subframes
*TRS 4 point harnesses
*Rear seats removed
*Rear firewall

Sound system
*Panasonic USB headunit
*5.25" Apline front speakers
*5.25" JBL rear speakers
*6x9s rear parcel shelf

Exterior

*Carbon inserts for front wings
*Smoked side repeaters
*Mudflaps
*Blue wheel nuts
*Front tow hook removeable
*Rear tow hook

Other key bits of info:
*2002 Subaru Impreza Prodrive STi (yes states Prodrive on the V5)
*UK model
*2 keys
*Miles 71238
*FSH and loads of receipts from my ownership - including oil changes, etc
*MOT - February 2012
*TAX - 31 January 2010
*HPi clear

Some minor dent/stone chips as you would expect from a car this age

I will include a set of 4x 18" Team Dynamics Pro wheels with Toyo R888 tyres. In excellent condition, lots of usage left and the car is truely a different animal on these And I will also throw in a JBL 12" sub, box and JBL 4 channel amp to sweeten the deal.

Any questions, please ask....

These are the pics from the original PistonHeads advert (when I bought the car) - completely standard back then:




Some pics...


FMIC


PF discs, bluestuff pads (not visible obviously), refurbed brembo calipers with Subaru decals


Engine bay (needs a bit of a clean.... which I will sort next week, when I am back in the UK)



Front seats - very comfortable


Rear - stripped, firewall, rollcage (all seatbelts have been removed)



quick sound clips of the new exhaust... at home so could not make too much noise


hopefully you can hear the induction noise properly, as well as the chatter from the turbo - since the BOV has been removed

after reviewing PH, I think that my price is a little high, so dropping it to £7500, with the extra wheels, sounds bits, everything I have.

The hell with selling at this price..... Considering work and cash gone into the car, it's staying, being stripped and will be driven "like I stole it!"
