Further to my previous posts, this is the definitive version:

My car is as follows:

Late 95 Impreza Sti 2 Type RA Lightweight in white.

39,000 miles
Scoobysport Backbox
ITG Filter
Pagid grooved discs and pads
16" Advan 5-spoke Competition alloys
Front and rear Carbon fibre strut braces
Short-shift close-ratio gearbox
Adjustable centre differential
Intercooler water spray
Roof mounted ait vent
Sti logo seats and interior
Nardi steering wheel
Air conditioning
High-rise rear spoiler
Lightweight body panels and windscreen glass
Aluminium bonnet and boot
Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser
Private plate - M9 WRX
A1 condition, cherished car.

Always serviced by me at Scoobysport, Silkolene or Mobil one always used.
Car was given its major, £700 45,000 mile service at SS when I bought it at 33,000, for my peace of mind and the car's longeivity.

Power 280 Bhp approx with mods (276 standard)
Weight 1200kg (Subaru official figure)
= Power/weight ratio of 233Bhp/tonne

Compare with:

Impreza P1 - 219 Bhp/tonne (and longer gearing...)
UK Impreza Turbo - 177 Bhp/tonne
Evo VI - 204 Bhp/tonne
BMW M5 - 236 Bhp/tonne
(Figures from EVO magazine)

ie. I think it would be a fair claim to say that this is possibly the fastest basically standard Impreza ever built. Later, heavier Sti Type Rs (same power and gearing, but and extra 70-80kg) have been timed by EVO magazine at 4.3 secs to 60 mph.

For sale I am looking for about £11,500.

But, as I have said before, Scooby values are c~~p currently, so I would be up for swapping my car for a later model WRX (preferably a 97 or later), or late model UK car.

Finally, if the right car comes along as a swap, i would be able to offer my car in addition to up to £1000 cash.

All negotiations would depend on the individual cars offered, accounting for age/spec/mods/mileage etc.

So, if you fancy one of the fastest most focused driver's scoobies around to brighten up your life, drop me a line at freemrh@hotmail.com

personally i think swapping is a great idea -it lets us change our cars with far less hassle.

Don't be shy, I love to negotiate.

Cheers

They are a chunky white 5-spoke, with red mud flaps.

Each to there own mate. I, as do all those who have actually SEEN the car, think that it looks very cool in a stripped out Integra Type R sort of way.

I used to have an ITR. You can't see the white wheels from the inside when you're driving, so it doesn't matter...
