Default 2004 Blobeye STi £6500

For sale is my Blobeye STi.

The car has done 54277 miles, I have only done 2266 miles in it since February 2012 so have decided to let it go.

The car is fairly standard and has the following fitted:

Walbro Fuel pump
ACL Bearings
Mahle pistons
Subaru 3 port boost solenoid
Exedy pink clutch (from lateral performance) Fitted 11/2011 at 51635miles
Godspeed grooved front disks and Kevlar pads
HEL Braided brake lines
Zunsport lower front grille
Rally spec rear diff guard
Prodrive PPP sports cat
Straight through centre section
Genome Backbox
Prosport stepper gauges in a custom centre console (Oil temp, Oil pressure, boost)
Genuine Prodrive PFF's with Falken tyres
Prodrive mudflaps
STi floor mats
Tracker
ECUTek license

The car has been mapped by Bob Rawle, I wasn't after big power so it has been mapped to approximately 300bhp.
The car has been serviced yearly, as I have never done the mileage.

Cambelt, tensioners and Aux belts changed 08/2010 (will confirm mileage)
Diff oil was changed 09/2011.

There are a few marks on the paint work, I will get some pics posted of these.

While I'd love to keep the car, is just isn't getting the use it deserves. If you want to see the car then drop me a PM and we can make arrangements. If you want to test drive it, then you'll need to bring proof of fully comp insurance with you.

If you have any questions, please ask. No doubt I've missed some things off, and will update the thread as I remember things.

Thanks for looking, Rich.

I can't find any pics of my car (just everyone else's!!) So will get some fresh photos this week.





Some more pics, apologies for the quality. I will have to try and get out there earlier tomorrow!







Key mark on the rear door:

Well why scream DIBS then?

You know, nice car, good luck with the sale, would be complimentary but actually acting like you may purchase it is just wasting the man's time....

Oh

Nice car & GLWTS

Looks like you'll need it...

You can tell it's the school holidays, see below

I didn't scream it, I typed it.

Why comment on the post when you're not going to make an offer on the car like I did? Wasting his time.

Bit cheeky, I legitimately joined here and the P1 owners club last month in search of my first Impreza [after departing with my beloved Focus RS] ... If anything it has been sellers doing the time-wasting upto now in my case - several bad experiences of arranging insurance/viewings only to be let down at the last minute!

maybe it was but having sold stuff on here the problems I have had have come from idiots like above.

you may be the exception that proves the rule.

the car looks good hope you manage to get it

Just waiting to hear back from Rich on his availability for a viewing then I'll get some FC insurance sorted and pay a visit - if it's the right car it's getting bought! The last 6 weeks without a motor has crippled me and the money from my Focus is burning a hole in my pocket!

There a lot been going on here!

To fair superfunk has PM'ed me early on and we have had discussions about a viewing.

I've ***** up slightly though, as I realised this evening that I still haven't had the log book back after changing the private plate. It is due this week so I'll update the thread when it's here.

I'll also get replies to all the people who have PM'd me today.

Thanks (and apologies!) Rich.

Could you clarify what has been done to the engine as you state pistons have been changed?
I assume from this it has been rebuilt?
Who did the re-build?

I popped a hole in a valve back in 2010, during a mapping session. I wasn't happy with the pistons when I split the block and as I had gone so far it seemed a shame to not to refresh the bearings as well. The thread can be read here:

No probs - unfortunately it's in my nature to be a perfectionist!
