as title guys

does anyone have any imfo on this car,previously owned seen at a meet etc etc

just thinking of taking the trip south to view it,but dont really want to waste my time if its a pup



thanks marcus

 

Not sure if thats an proper sti mate ? any pics of under the bonnet ?

 

Don't look like an STI to me!

Anymore pictures buddy so I can be more sure ?

 

Jap STi's have a low spoiler, the mirrors are not OEM but the rear arches etc look STi.

Is there a link to the deaaler website?

Shaun

 

looks like a wrx with a few badges ? might be wrong tho

 

Can't give you any Info myslf but it looks like were both looking for similar cars... This one also pops up on my searches too, looks like it's been on Autotrader a while though..Good luck if you go and see it and let me know what you thought :-)

 

Nope, though the advert doesnt mention that its got DCCD or not, may be a lower spec car so watch out for that (no drivers pack, BBS alloys, DCCD-A and I think maybe the quick rack steering).

Looked at the ad and it is an STI

Tony

 

Ok peeps it IS a STI

 

ohh guess i was wrong... i was going by what mine looked like ...

glad we cleared that up guys

its defo an sti,i will link the advert post hast

marcus

 

post hasted advert link

Auto Trader UK - SUBARU Impreza 2.0 WRX STi

any thoughts,i have cash burning a hole in ones pocket

marcus

 

I have just looked at the advert too ..... Im still not convinced its an sti, before you drive down to look i would check it has a red top, well i would anyway. it doesnt look right to me.. but what do i know lol

 

50k miles ... cambelt due mate .. unless its in km ??

 

yeah

these are all matters that need addressing(services due etc)

if its not an sti then the previous owner has gone to great lengths(interior/brembos/wider rear track/archs/changing the hubs to fit 5x114 alloys blah blah blah)

anyone in the area of spalding fancy taking a gander for me

marcus

 

STI interior, STI clocks with 8k red line, auto and manual IC spray, 6 speed box and the low level spoiler was an optional extra in Japan, rear tinted windows, brembo brakes all round, clear front lights, sti bonnet scoop, looks pretty good to me

Tony

 

and a set of four defi genome gauges

so were all happy its an sti,now would anyone have any history/seen/driven the car

marcus

 

Grille



Wot no Grillle ?



Looks nice but....MY05 registered as a MY04, facelift came in MY05 54 plates.

 

The bonnet scoop is a wrx sized one and not the larger Sti scoop.
Might be worth a look though. Try and get them to send you pics of the engine bay which will help.

 

Is that not a WRX scoop aswell ? ^^^lol I was too slow

Front Number plate area has been colour coded too.

 

Have you sold your stunning white Hawkeye ?

 

i have sold my stunning white hawkeye yes matey

i will contact the dealer tomorrow and get pics of the engine sent

 

Ah now this is actually explainable its probably due to the original date of registration in japan, if she is an early 05 model then she may end up as an 04 rather than an 05 on the reg or if not then its from the date of manufacture if not re registered in the UK in time

Tony

 

I have looked at this car 3-4 months ago its still at the same dealer..
There is a valid reason for the pictures where the car does not have a grill
please ensure you obtain the previous owners contact number as I did before you considder purchasing this car.
the garage has his details so dont let them tell you they dont have it.
information on this car is not recoreded!

 

Please tell me more buddy. Via pm if you prefer

Cheers marcus

 

53WRX

Well spotted the number plate "holder" should be black for this model !

May not not be the original front end then......likewise the WRX smaller scoop

Shaun

 

Don't the alloys give it away as an STI.... unless someone changed all the hubs !

dunx

 

I think we all agree that it's an STi ......................but possibly with a rearranged front end


Shaun

 

Sorry, works PC is S**T..... slowed to a halt and then must have scrolled to this end off the thread.... completely by-passing the middle !

No-LOL

dunx

P.S. I think the WRX scoop looks far less silly than the STI one, IMHO

 

I phoned them up about this car a while ago and asked a few questions about the grill etc and the bloke i spoke to said he thinks it had been in an accident that was enough info for me to not go any further.
