MODIFIED CLASSIC TYPE RA IMPORT
1993 (L) Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA Light Weight
Vehicle Information and Modifications:
I have owned the car since september last year, when I first bought the car it was advertised to be running at 300BHP which I have not confirmed yet.
Exterior:
Full Respray in Metallic Sonic Blue (from white)
1999 Model Front Bumper
1999 Model Front Grill
1999 Model Fog light covers
P1 Front Splitter
1999 Model Carbon Fibre Bonnet
Carbon Fibre STI Bonnet Scoop
STI Style Rear Spoiler with Carbon finish
Rear STI Lights
Front 1999 Model Crystal Headlights with H4 Xenon Super Blue Bulbs
Front Crystal Corner Lights
Crystal Side Repeaters
Crystal Front Bumper Indicators with silver bulbs
Interior:
White Dial kit
Carbon Fibre Gauge Dial Bezel
Carbon Fibre Twin Gauge Pod
2 Blue Illuminated Gauges Reading Oil Temp & Press
Additional Turbo Boost Gauge
STI Seates
Carbon Fibre WRX Tax Disc Holder
Engine & Technical
Quick Shift
Bailey Dump valve
Blitz Power Induction Kit
Front STI Strut Brace
Flamer Kit with Carbon Fibre Switch
Decat Downpipe
Decat Center Section
Vortex Afterburner Exhaust
Wheels:
17" BK Alloy Wheels
Front EBC Uprated Drilled Brake Discs
Front EBC Red Stuff Brake pads
Red Brake Calpiers
Security:
Tracker Monitor
Clifford Alarm
Chrome Disklock
The car comes fully Tax'd and Tested and is ready to be driven away. The Mileage of the car is showing 104000KM, which is around 65000 Miles. I have got all the previous MOT's and paper work showing that the cambelt, clutch, oil, plugs etc have regularly been changed since it has been in the uk.
I have also during the last 2 months replaced the cambelt, water pump and have had the car serviced.
The car performs very well and has the looks,power and sound of a gorgeous Classic Subaru Impreza.
The not so good points:
The Car is classified as a cat c damaged repaired due to a slight hit on the drivers side. The damage has been professionaly repaired and checked
The Alloy Wheels have the usual Curb Markings
Two of the addional Oil Gauges still need to be wired
There is a tiny mark of paint which has come off from the blue interior dial surround
The front seatbelts need abit of playing to get locked in
Rear drivers side window needs tinting
2 of the Plastic stripes that run along the side of the roof need replacing
Front Bumper has some minor marks
The car is one of the first Type RA Import (Race Altered) Impreza's and is known to be one of the fastest

My bruv drove 50 miles to view this pile of sh*t in Birmingham and came back with these faults:
1) skirts are falling off
2) Cam cover seals leaking
3)inside has half the trim missing on door cards
4) signs of head gasket failure
5) rear doors do not open due to central locking fault....at this point he walked away!
I am not saying this to destroy this guys chance of selling
, but dont want anyone driveing hundreds of miles to view a pile of sh*t

, but dont want anyone driveing hundreds of miles to view a pile of sh*t 2)I have mentioned the leak.
3)There are no inside trims missing, its just the backing of the inside door handle which needs a screw to secure.
4) The head gasket was just replaced along with two of the valves. There are no signs of any headgasket problems.
5)The older version of the RA does not come with any central locking and the doors open/close fine
I bought the car as a writeoff for £3400 and have since spent alot of time and money on it. The car is also 13 years old for gods sake! If you want a proper car then you will need to spend proper money !
