Default FOR SALE 470-500BHP 1999 Impreza STI BEAST

This car cost over £30,000 to build and is based on a 1999 Classic Impreza Turbo 2000 (lighter body) with a STI engine dropped in

This car has too big a spec to list so I will list the main points here

415BHP (this is proveable as the Apexi RSM gives a real-time power readout)
Fully forged internals
Titanium exhaust (sounds amazing, very very loud!)
Twisted turbo
Custom tubular manifold
Front mount intercooler with hardpipes
Race bearings
Lightweight flywheel
Lightweight pulleys
HKS dump valve (very loud!)
Six speed gearbox (reconditioned less than 10,000 miles ago with a brand new center diff cost £2600, receipt to prove)
Full roll cage
Apexi Power FC commander
Apexi AVCR valve controller
Apexi RSM rev speed meter
Blitz turbo timer
Oil Temp/Pres, Air/fuel ratio, Boost temp/pres gauges
Knock Link
Full leather interior
Real Carbon Spoiler
Alloy bonnet (lighter than carbon)
OZ Superleggera lightweight alloys
AEZ brakes
HKS coilovers
50-100BHP Nitrous injection with aircraft-style safety toggle switch (see picture)

Plus much more...

This car needs a new clutch as it started slipping and the gear selector needs fixing as it currently won't select reverse. It might just be to do with the lift-up mechanism but I just don't know. Apart from that the car is fine, it runs perfectly.

I have looked after this car with no expense spared using only 0W40 or 5W40 oil and only run on premium fuel. It also has a full service history and passed all MOTs with flying colours.

I don't really want to sell it but rather than spend more money on it fixing it that I won't get back, I have decided to upgrade to something else and sell it as it is to an enthusiast who knows the value of this car.

There is no price I am just putting it up for any reasonable offers

By the way, this car is insanely fast! There is really no words to describe the feeling when the turbo spools up and blasts away anything anything else on the road! Whoever buys this will get a lot of joy out of this beast!

Any SERIOUS enquiries please call George on 07876207116

PLEASE NO SILLY OFFERS, NO PX, NO SWAP, NO DREAMERS, JUST CASH OFFERS!!

Sorry mate, but SN rules state you have to state a price. You can say something like

"offers in the region of"

Looks like a nice car; GLWTS.

Like....

Full engine spec, who built it, turbo spec etc etc etc instead of smart **** replies......that is of course if you actually know.

It was built by Eclipse Performance, the turbo is either a TD05 or TD06, I said to enquire if you want to know the full spec. Like I said in the ad, if you are interested in buying then please enquire, if you are not serious about buying please keep your opinions to yourself.

Agree, we are all tarnished with the same rule regardless if we agree to the rules or not. As a seller it can be hard to price products, but as a buyer folk will always try to low bid in a quest for a bargain, thus a non priced advert will always end up with Spam.

**** off, I'm a genuine buyer, £2002 and a twix
