Default 1995 Impreza WRX Type RA
I bought this car about 4 months ago as a little project, I have tidied it up and it is running spot on with no knocks or rattles. I have just put 6 months Tax on it and is MOT'd till September 23rd.
The car is running 281bhp and comes with all the standard features.
Mods done to the car are
Stainless exhaust system
ARC intercooler
HKS induction kit
Gymkhana shocks and springs

I don't have the time to make this car 100% perfect, it has an oil leak which mechanic has said is coming from camshaft seal and also is a bit lumpy on cold start but once warm absolutely sound. The car pulls very hard and handles like its on rails.

Im asking for £2500 with the revolution milleniums or £2000 with the white advans.

Bodywork is pretty good considering it's nearly 20 years old.

93,000 miles arches are pretty good, oil leak will deffinitely need doing but it hasn't got onto the Cambelt, that was changed just before I bought the car.

Would of guessed it would sell quick at that price.
Imo i would of gone to see asap and asked questions over phone promptly rarther than asking on thread watching the days go by.

Bargain deal that.
Must say a few bargains going/gone latley.

To be fair I didn't see it until 5 and by 7 he had a chap booked in to view it. He's not exactly a 5 min journey from me either.
Oh well, im sure something else will come along.
