Hi,

I currently have a Subaru Impreza STi-v3 Type-R in Sonic Blue but feel like a bit of a change - you know how it is

The Type R was introduced in 1997 for the MY97 model and is a 2 door coupe and has some interesting features aimed at homoligation for rallying. It is this vehicle that Prodrive used for their Group N customer cars and also the donor vehicle for the WRC in 1997, 98, 99 and 2000. The two door body is reported to be stronger and stiffer than the 4 door and there is a solid rear bulk head adding to stiffness.

For those not in the 'know', the STi V3 Type-R is regarded by STi's own chief engineers as being 'one of the best' and was widely rumoured to have 300bhp, breaking the 'gentlemens agreement' in Japan. Also, check out the best motoring video to see what they think about the STi v3

So, I am interested in a p/x up or down for something interesting including Skylines, Honda Type-R's, Evo's, other Impreza's, RX-7's, Supras, what have you got?......

Here is the spec of my car:-
R-plate (555 number plate) first registered 22/10/97.
78,000 miles and very well looked after with cam belt and crank seal in November and without-fail ran on Optimax + octane boost.
STi blueprinted 'red-top' engine and Group-N close ratio gearbox.
DCCD (driver-controlled-central-differential)
Intercooler Water spray
Turbo boost, oil pressure and mixture guages in tripple-pillar pod
Knocklink integrated into dash
DR Motorsports 22B Bonnet vents (have originals if preferred)
DR Motorsports WRC adjustable rear spoiler (have original if preferred)
Pioneer head unit
Cat 1 + tracker
Full H&S exhaust with lagged downpipe
BF Goodrich braided brake-hoses all-round
Garaged
Grooved front-disks
10 months MOT + 5 months tax
Clear lenses (have orange if preferred)
Goodyear Eagle F1's all-round
Forge recirculating dump valve
De-stickered with only STi front wing logo's, Type-R sticker and STi boot emblem. (not in pics)
HPI clear

+ I've got some goodies to go on including an FSE fuel regulator with gauge, slip-jointed turbo up-pipe and a reconditioned turbo (as part of the 'plan').

It is basically a pampered car but you know, itchy feet n'all

Shimy Type R

Hi matt,
Sounds good mate just what im after.

Has she got any history with her?
How many owners?
And what part of england do you live?

regards,
Shimy.

m3matt

Hi Shimy,

Yes, the car has got a comprehensive history folder about 3" thick. I am the 6th owner and am based in Kingston, Surrey.

regards,
Matt

m3matt

good mornin y'all

Shimy Type R

Hi Matt,
Didn't reply yesterday, missus had me in bed early

Sounds good mate, like i said its just what im after. Ive had seven scoobs now and i want my next one to be a 2 door.

Do you know if the crank has ever been replaced on her?
And does it come with the parts you listed? i.e up pipe, regulater.

Cheers,
Shimy.

m3matt

Hi Shimy,

The crank hasn't been replaced as far as I know. It is a common problem for the crank-seals to go, hence getting that and the cambelt done at the same time.

Yes, it will come with the parts I've listed - worth a good amount (recon turbo was £400 on it's own).

regards,
Matt

Shimy Type R

Sounds good mate do you want to send me a contact number either on here or by email so we can have a chat about it.

Regards,
Shimy.
