SWAP TYPE R FOR BUGEYE/BLOBEYE OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
I AM JUST GUAGING INTEREST TO SEE IF ANYONE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN A SWAP
1997 subaru impreza 555 type r in sonic blue. Please note this is an import and i am the 1st uk owner estimated 310-330 bhp. Roughly 72000mls with 11 months test & 5 Months tax.HPI clear. The Subaru Technica International Version 3 Type R was made especially for original homologation of 2 door Imprezas for racing in WRC. It's one of the most interesting and capable of the classic shape Imprezas. This is the connoisseur`s Impreza - finely honed for maximum performance and capability, this is the most impressive of the breed. This model was only made for the Japanese market, with Prodrive offering the UK equivalent P1 models at very strong money. Special high performance features abound - Mechanically this model carries the same spec. as the P1 UK models and more! This Sti Version 3 Type R Coupe is an outstanding example in every respect and is made more special by being a 555 model to commemorate their No. 1 position victory in the WRC championship for 1996 - 555 also being a tabacco company that gave major sponsorship to Subaru for WRC racing. Unlike UK P1 models however, the Japanese versions was equipped with a DCCD adjustable centre differential - to help overcome 4WD understeer by allowing drive bias to be sent to the rear wheels by as much as 70%. Water jets are fitted above the intercooler & these can be operated automatically or at the touch of a button. The steering rack is quick geared for less turns from lock to lock, as engineered by Subaru Technica International. 4 Piston signature front brake calipers give excellent braking performance, as required. Further improvements from Subaru includes Sti carbon fibre front strut brace & an uprated intercooler. The engine is a red top unit - factory blueprinted & endowed with stronger internals with a higher 8,000 rpm rev limit.The gearbox is a Group N close ratio unit with an adjustable centre differential, geared for maximum speed of 155 mph at the red line. The electronically adjustable centre differential allows any range between a fully locked (For very slippery conditions such as snow) all the way to 70% rear and 30% front bias allowing understeer to be dialed out and for power oversteer to be supplied as required, especially with the uprated differential at the rear.
Original specification includes: Power steering, power windows, electric mirrors with retract mode, central locking, climate control a/c, tinted windows with retract mode, privacy rear glass, rear wiper
This car is mostly original, the only upgrades are hks wrapped equal length headers, stainless steel exhaust with ninja backbox, blitz boost guage, knocklink, hks turbo timer, hks electronic boost control, apexi rev/speed meter, sti mudflaps, carbon front strut brace, cusco rear strut brace and 17" alloys(gunmetal). The seats are immaculate with no wear. There are a couple of stone chips on the bonnet.
