Default 310BHP Version 3 STI in White - £3650!

Last Price Drop before I keep it











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. 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.
SARD ECU
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.

The car can be viewed in Ashford, Kent or Gatwick, Surrey.

The car made 310BHP on the rolling road at a very very safe 1 Bar of boost and the air/fuel ratio was checked and is totally fine. It holds 1bar of boost all the way from 3700RPM all the way through the rev range.

I'd just like to ad that for the buyers piece of mind, I wont use the car on the day that you come to pick it up, so that you'll be able to hear it from cold start, and that it sounds as it should and you'll see theres no smoke from the turbo either.

I've also got a Head Gasket sniffer tester that I can borrow from a friend so you'll be able to see that the Head Gasket is fine as well.
(This is very simple to use and will only take a few minutes)

I'm looking for £3650.

Unfortunately it didn't meet the reserve on ebay, only made about £3200.

The Sard ecu is a plug and play one, which are very hard to get hold of, any ecu for a v3/v4 Impreza is hard to get hold of if its under £650!. This may be mappable from from what I've read but can't gurantee it.

As I've said the Air/fuel ratios were safe as is the boost at 1 bar. It holds full boost from 3700RPM all the way through the rev range and has made 1 hell of a difference to the power. I'm absoloutely gutted to see it go.

I've been offered £3500 from someone local and is going to get the money by the weekend, so anything better will get the car.

Seems a shame to let such a good car go for so little... But needs must.

I know its not far off my asking price but it really does feel a bad price to be honest.

My last STI made 322bhp and only about 285lbft of torque at 1.3 bar of boost. This is making 310bhp and 300lbft torque at 1 bar of boost which just shows how well its running. Its also running rich in the top end, so there room for some more power to safely get out of it as well. The boost also kicks in a lot earlier than my last one as well.
