Default well the end has finally come

Well some of you will have seen this coming. I have finally made the decision to move on from a Subaru.

I have not made this decision lightly and have swayed between keeping it and selling it for months now. I bought the car earlier this year in April from API and haven't really had too many days where I have properly enjoyed owning the car.

the spec,

2002 JDM STI blobeye in black mica (black with gold fleck) which looks great when the sun hits it

it comes with all the usual JDM extras,

HID headlamps
red faced sweeping dials (like defis)
dccd gearbox
twinscroll turbo and equal length headers
rear wiper


Since owning the car I have fitted a new exhaust

2.5" decat centre section
2.5" afterburner backbox

and had the car remapped and the apexi avcr (already in the car when purchased) setup correctly to run 3 power settings

0.7 bar for economy
1.25 bar standard boost level
1.55 bar high boost setting

This is now a very fast car and produces power from very low down with minimal turbo lag.


the bad points.

every car has them and unfortunately this is no different,

unfortunately the car has no service history with it but before I bought the car it was cared for by API and I assume they would have records to show this.
the paint has some stone chips and some other age related marks and has had some previous paint done after the car was removed from storage.
the passenger headlight lets in a small amount of water but this is easily got rid of with the headlights on.


I paid £6000 for the car and have improved its general looks and performance drastically in the last six months so I have set the price at the same level as I bought it.

£6000 no offers

I will add pics on Tuesday, if you want any more details about the car or then give me a pm

unfortunately Carl I really don't think I will, I'll be sticking around on the forum and I'll probably pop along to a few meets (providing it's ok with H although probably not in the evo ) but other than that mate I'm pretty much done with Subaru
