1997 WRX STI Type R - Stunning low mileage example
Regrettably selling my much loved Type R, bought this car in April and have loved every minute of owning it, unfortunately due to other stuff going on I need something a bit more practical, like a diesel estate.
I've always cared for this car well, always warmed up and cooled down, best oils used, Optimax/V-power and octane booster.
Genuine 43,000 miles, with full UK and Jap history to verify this, km readings up to 15,xxx in the Jap history and then first MOT in the UK has 10,xxx miles on it.
I've had it on the rollers once, graph included, and it made 291 bhp, standard boost with blitz exhaust and panel filter. It is a very quick car and a joy to drive, DCCD making it more rear end biased and less prone to understeer, very solid and sure footed, need to be a wee bit careful if its slippy, or move the DCCD forward a bit.
The car won "Best Subaru" at the Crail Banzai day when I entered it in the show and shine, you will do well to find a tidier example.
Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type R
1997 P plate
291 BHP (Rolling road printout available, within last 2 months)
43,000 miles (proven by checking jap and uk history)
Full Service History both UK and Japanese
Tax and MOT until June 2007
Service carried out and timing belt replacement 2 months ago
Clifford Alarm
Trackarer fitted
Toyo T1R Tyres with plenty of tread left.
Standard features include:
Short ratio gearbox
Driver adjustable centre differential (adjustable from 66% rwd/33% fwd up to 50/50)
Rear LSD
Front STi strut brace
Modifications:
Hayward and Scott Front pipe
Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust system
HKS Panel filter
Morette Quad headlamp conversion
STi front splitter
17" OZ Superleggera Alloys
A few pics
£8000 ono for a quick sale.

Hi, sorry it's not what I'm looking for. I have another car for track stuff and fun so would only p/x for something sensible and economical like a Volvo diesel estate.

Cheers for the compliment mate, it is a stunning example. Lowered the price a fair bit already and I'm astounded no-one has come to view it yet, the first to do so will take it.
