Default 97 STI type RA

V3 STI Type RA

42396 miles total (odometer reading 64900, see below).
MOT until 25th Jan 2012.
Taxed until Aug 2012.

Imported by SVA in Feb 2010 I am the first UK owner.
Odometer reading was 59436 km (36932 miles).
The car was factory standard when it arrived and can be returned to this state if required (other than the rear exhaust section which was stolen from my front drive).
I have since made the following changes:

3 inch heat wrapped de-cat down pipe mated to a TSL 2.5 inch de-res centre section and group N rear box with modified tail pipe.
3 port boost solenoid.
Walbro 255.
Apexi power FC ECU with hand controller.
Exedy pink box clutch and skimmed flywheel.
Whiteline ALK.
Whiteline 22mm rear ARB.
Whiteline rear drop links.
Eibach camber bolts at rear.
17 inch Advan racing RGII's powder-coated satin anthracite.
Carbon mirrors.

The car has been custom mapped by FB tuning giving 300bhp (graphs available).
Whilst the clutch was being fitted (FB tuning) the gear linkage was also replaced to remove the slop cause by deteriorated bushes.
Four wheel alignment to FB tuning track settings.
The radiator was replaced (with new) due to leakage.
Front discs replaced with Godspeed grooved with painted centres (Godspeed kevlar pads fitted at the same time).
Gearbox and diff oils were changed to Millers CRX 75w90 comp fully synthetic.
A full service, including cam-belt change was carried out by SVA at the time of first import.

The bodywork is very clean and straight given the cars age and has never been modified with the addition of skirts, spoilers etc.
Likewise the interior which has not been altered from standard.

This car took a long time and many wasted journeys to find. If you're looking for a good, near standard and mechanically sound car then this is the one for you!
Never been near a track in my ownership and never seen a salted road.
My fifth Subaru (and will more then likely be replaced with another).

£5500. Price could be reduced slightly for the car in standard spec.


Additional photos available if needed.

I have no interest in peoples opinion on my pricing.

Bump for a very clean & well looked after car, I can vouch for its credentials.
