PROVISIONALLY SOLD / PROVISIONALLY SOLD / PROVISIONALLY SOLD
OK.....spec as follows;
Closed deck block
Fifth injector
Lightweight chassis
Air con
Central locking but no Electric windows
47k miles
Sigma CAT1
Full stainless de-cat exhaust
Quick shift
STi 4 pot brakes
Dot 5 fluid
Braided hoses
Fitted and colour coded side skirts & bumper trims
STi clear rear lenses
K&N panel filter
Later type spoiler
11 months MOT immaculate and drives first class.....
This was imported in April 1999, had a slight bump (wing, bonnet and bumper, lights etc...) and was then purchased by the person I bought it from, at that time it was HPi clear.. HOWEVER, 3 years down the line it is now CAT D listed due to this minor bump back in June 1999, it obviously went onto HPi register after this last chap bought it
The car is superb throughout and must be the cheapest RA available, so no silly comments please, it is what it is and at a firm price of £4995 it's a cracker
Edited to change engine bay pic to show 5th injector

The car has water spray
Gearbox ????
The model number is correct at GC8B47D = 240 bhp
The wheels at the moment are 17" Gold 5 spoke compomotives
The repair is un-findable....as I said the last chap has had it for 3 yrs and fully inspected it and hpi'd it at the time and it was clear...it seems only a month or so after he purchased it did it then go onto the HPi register....and we only found that out yesterday !
Now, the car is an RA.... most would describe it as pristine condition...I would say it is in excellent condition, it drives nice and tight, gearbox, suspension, steering etc.....
So far the best cash offer is £4550....IT WILL BE SOLD BY SUNDAY EVENING
My mobile is ; 07799 - 881188

LOOKS LIKE THIS IS ONE OF THE TYPE APPROVAL WRX RS CARS THAT LED TO THE RA. IS IT STILL REGISTERED AS A 1.8 GL? IF SO ANY PROBLEMS WITH INSURANCE?
IS IT AUTO OR MANUAL GEARBOX?
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

mellow, nice car. will suggest it to pat, he is after another.
andy, yuou already know enough to join the tech police, but its the mentality you dont have.
you need to be utterly defensive and object to everyone and everything.
plus you need to know when to attack guns blazing, and when harmless forgivable mistakes have been made.
you also need to consider that some peopel should not be allowed to get away with posting crap for their own gain.

Mike,
I can take some pics of the interior but in all honesty it's just a standard 1993 black/red recaro style trim as it should be...it's unmarked and in immaculate condition
I'm based in Littleborough, Nr Rochdale, Lancs....
What I will say is that if it is not as I fully describe I will refund anyone's time and travelling expenses
Thanks Adam

WOW!
What a car for that money. If I hadn't just committed myself to a FMIC, AP Clutch and a Link and injectors (about £3.5k), I'd have bought this as a pure track car. It's perfect!
Lightweight body, 5th injector. Can be tuned to the MAX!!
( Ask AndyF )
C'mon someone must want this car it's a bargain!

I just got an insurance quote for this car on directline.com, and it tells me it is a 1.8 4dr auto.
What is the deal with this?? How do I get real quotes if that is what the car is registered as???
Looking into getting a track day/everyday car for under £5k...

My V5 document for my STi4 says 1.8GL 2WD. You can insure a car from the vin number. Tell them you dont know the reg.
I have written to the DVLA 3 times to state the exact model of the car, so far it's been a 1.6 and an RB5! Given up now...
Also try A-Plan 0845 0711234 for good import insurance.
