Default Testing the water *2003 JDM STI*

Due to having an itch for a Sierra Cosworth, I am testingthe water by putting the Subaru up for Sale. I am in no rush to sell the carand will list it on here first as I would rather it went to an enthusiast thatwill look after it.
I have owned the car since April 2010. It had 45k on theclock when I purchased it, it now has 56k. It has Tax until 31/01/2014 and MOTuntil 25th Feb 2014 (No Advisories)

Imported into the UK and registered in May 2007, 1 previousUK owner prior to me, had 26k on when it came over.

Car was on 54k miles when it had the major power upgradeparts fitted

Car has also been serviced on time in my ownership; anythingthat has needed doing has been done. Car has been looked after by Neil atSlowboy Racing. Was last serviced at 55k with oil, filter, plugs and brakefluid.


The spares that I have and will be included are: Fujitsubo2.5” Exhaust system with twinscroll cat/VF37 Turbo/ New Sard FPR/ Revolution front splitter (cracked when wasoriginally fitted, now been repaired but haven’t refitted)

I also have a tailor made car cover to go with it.

I would describe the bodywork as being good for a ten yearold car. In September of last year I had the front bumper, bonnet, roof, rearbumper sprayed at a bodyshop. I clean the car with meguiars, dodo juice and poorboysproducts. Particularly use Poorboys Black Hole to give it a deep shine. Howeverdue to the bad winter we have had the car hasn’t had a ‘major clean’ for awhile and ideally would benefit from a detail.

One of the wheels has a minor curb mark on it and I meanvery minor. The tailgate and spoiler have a few scratches. The fuel cap couldalso do with a spray. These were the next things I was going to get done by theBodyshop.

I have tried to be as honest as I can with the car. I’mstill not 100% sure I am doing the right thing by putting it up for sale, but Ireally do just fancy a Cosworth. If it does sell I will definitely be back oneday in another Subaru.

I am after 9.5k for the car or could do a deal on a SierraCosworth.

Thanks for taking the time to read my advert

Matthew

Nice car. Bear in mind there's a few grand in upgrades on it so 10k isn't that far off the mark.

JDM's are worth the extra premium.
Simtek and Ap's are worth 3k alone (new)
This will sell in time, good luck mate, lovely car

I'm guessing you have converted back to a single scroll set up with ported heads ? Has the rev limit been re set or still the same ?
