Default V3 STI in white (1997) with V5/V6 Facelift Front end











Unfortunately the above photos are taken by the works 3.2MP Vivatar ancient crap camera, and doesn't show how shiny the paint work is on the car.

Unfortunately having to sell this due to personal circumstances, absolutely gutted. Everyday I seem to get a compliment from someone saying what a nice looking car it is. Even had someone say it looks like a delorean the other day, but he was about 90 and almost fell over my screwdrivers so may be a bit blind!

The car has Approx 10 and a half months MOT, 6 months TAX. I would describe the car in very good condition for its age with only a few small soft dents, nothing a few £s couldn't sort out but it hasn't bothered me.
It has just been serviced by myself with Silkolene Pro S Oil and Filter, Coolant & NGK PFR7B Plugs, with receipts to prove.
The previous owner had the cambelt and clutch changed last year ( again with receipts to prove) + other service history.

There are 2 brand new Pirellis on the back, the alloys are BBS Forged 22b Lookalikes in very good condition. Lots of life left in the brakes. The brake calipers have been painted red.
The suspension on the front is quite solid (Coilovers) and could do with replacing as they are a bit harsh, I just missed out on a whole set of 97 STI suspension for £60 but am still on the lookout.
HKS Exhaust
Apexi Fully adjustable BOV - I don't usually like these, but have decided to stick with it as I have found a setting I like the sound of.

Interior wise is very clean, unfortunately the drivers seat has a small hole in though. It has a turbo timer and a nice Alpine CD player. The car has a CAT 1 Alarm.

I'm looking for £3995. The car can be viewed in Ashford, Kent or Gatwick, Surrey.

Hi, the car isn't mapped, I'm fairly sure I've read quite a few times that the higher RON fuel wasn't available in Japan until around 1999 so you only have to worry about the high octane fuel and octane booster with the v5 onwards models. Saying that I always run it on VPOWER, the garage is 30secs from my house.

The speedo is in KMH

Thanks
