Gauging interest in my MY96 V2 STI555 / RA
Hi All, below you'll find the details of my Subaru Impreza WRX STI 555 that I'm possibly looking to sell.
It has 114k Km which works out to roughly 67000 miles'ish.
The car is originally a 1996 V2 STI 555, though when I purchased the car the gearbox was shot and so I put a rebuilt V2 STI RA gearbox into the car for the better drive.
I purchased the car in abit of a sorry state which it took over 5 months of rebuilding the car to a worthy state as the pic's show.
The amount of time and money that has been put into this car was worth it but with me having 3 cars at which I need to concentrate on more with the build of my hill-climbing car ready for next season which is my converted 205, I need to make room.
Spec of the car is :
- V2 STI RA rebuilt gearbox ( Not wired up though )
- AP Racing Clutch
- 3.9 Rear LSD
- AST Sportline 1 coilovers on the rear
- Tein Control Master Flex coilovers on the front with camber adjustments
- Subaru 4 pots on the front with DS2500 pads
- Ian Godspeed 335mm disc's with aluminium bells
- Centre Decat
- K&N Panel Filter
- NGK 7 plugs
- Uprated Graham Goode Oil Pump
- 17" P1 alloys powder coated in white
- Mid level rear spoiler
- 3 gauges ( Smiths Oil Temp & Oil Pressure - Autometer Turbo Gauge )
- Knocklink wired into speedo display
- I/C Water spray
The car was registered by me in April 2009 so there aint much service history except for the reciepts of some of the parts I have bought.
All servicing is done by me as I'm handy in the area of mechanics.
The cambelt & tensioner was changed 5000 miles ago along with 2 new Aux belts.
The car had a major service overhaul before the initial start of the engine, then serviced again after 1000 miles of use with a engine oil and gearbox oil change.
The 2nd serivce was completed 2000 miles after that, again with Engine Oil and Air filter change, and then only recently serviced again after being stored for the winter.
So in all its had 3 service's in 5000 miles with no problems to be sure no problems would arrise.
It has a brand new MOT with also 6 months tax which it passed the MOT with flying colours.
The bodywork in my own opinion is in a good condition compared to how I found it. The front bumper has 2 or 3 small knicks in it which you can see on the photo's, there is also a very small dent on the corner of the bonnet but you can barely notice this.
The car is unmapped but always run on Shell optimax and NF Octane booster which I regularly purchase from Roger Clarke motorsport.
The engine still sounds like new as it came out of the factory.
I have tried to be honest to the full extent but if you do have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them.
Thanks for looking.

Price around £4000

Cheers mate, alot of time and effort went into this restoration which its hard to put a price against it.
I am tempted to just put it back into storage and leave it for awhile but that'll depend how much interest I get.
