MY97 STI white
here we have my 1997 Subaru impreza STI version 4 in white
it has a version 3 bottom end, and v4 heads. the bottom end i have reciepts from API for a full strip down then new crank bearings, piston rings and seals etc from and the heads were skimmed before put into the car, new cambelt fitted.
the head gaskets that were used are Cometic
blitz nur spec type R cat back exhaust system
VF34 ball bearing turbo 3 year old!
17 inch gold BK racing alloys with excellent tread on tyres although the laquer has slightly flaked on rims. 40mm profile.
Ripspeed dvd/cd head unit with 2 controllers
over the past few months i have fitted new K and N panel filtre, spark plugs, radiator, fuel filter and temperature sensor
magnecore HT leads
turbo timer! i have always warmed up sufficently then let the timer cool the engine, turbo etc, down.
rear Lexus lights
toad alarm and immobiliser system with 2 keys and 2 fobs
tracker fitted, keeps insurance down
i have not mucked about with boost at all
8 months MOT
3 months tax
the car has 83000 (miles) as the dials have been converted
i am unaware of the mileage on the bottom end, but there is no unusual noises and API are a well trusted company!
blue Silicone turbo intake pipe
new stainless steal pistons in both front brake calipers then painted red and fitted new brake pads
electric arial and wing mirrors that fold in
gearbox and rear dif oil changed just over a year ago,
new genuine subaru clutch fitted 6 years ago, and feels firm with no unsual noises or feel to it, new MAF was fitted at the same time, i have reciept of these down by Alan Jeffery @ Engine Tuner.
obviously there are stone chips as it is 14 years old and as in pictures it has surface rust on rear arches, (PICS) the wheel nuts have surface rust but are cheap to replace
the intercooler water spray has been taken off by the previous owner, not vital though so i never replaced it
the gas for the air con has run out so i cut the belt off it as it is supposed to run better without it
the mileometer occassionly sticks at 60mph but does drop back to normal
i am currently having problems with the idle, being @1300rpm and not dropping until moving away
the car was off the road for a year as i couldnt afford to get the head gasket done
i live on the isle of wight so bare in mind the ferry prices
£3200
