Default 700bhp Impreza

Possibly thinking of selling my Impreza, it either gets sold as is or its getting broke but I would prefer the car went to someone who could appreciate the car.

I imported the car direct from Japan myself 8 years ago and it had 22k miles on it I think? It now has 37k miles.

It has no expense spared on it with mostly RCM parts and built only by SD Motorsports Ltd

The car is a 2003 Jap spec car running a 2.35ltr block and a billet gt35r. Its mapped to 2.3 bar on 20% meth so that would probably put it around 680/90bhp? but with race fuel it should see over 700.

I can fully go into the spec if anyone is interested but there is one bad point and that is the car has lost compression on one cylinder. There is no knock and its just missing when running. SD Motorsport have told me its either a piston or a valve?

I have no interest on going down another rebuild as I realistically guess its a £3k repair and refresh with proper quality parts.


I want £15k for the car as it sits which isn't bad when considering lesser spec'd cars are asking £20k? You may have the skills to repair the engine yourself which would make it a very cheap car?

The repair could be cheaper as it would depend on who you take it to and the parts you use!
