Viewed this Type R last weekend. Very clean, everything seems OK except 4th crunches (block change from 2nd) so it needs a 'box refresh. I guess this will be ~£800 so we're presently negotiating money off the £8K asking.

I don't know enough to judge the engine spec, so what do you guys think? I know Paul @ Zen has good respect so I was going on that

Cheers

I'll post up some engine pics

Here I have for sale my JDM 1999 STi Type R Subaru Impreza
61,000 miles (speedo and odometer has been already been converted to read in miles)

MOT December 2011, Tax July 2011
A-Service (and rear brake pads) at 57,500 miles with Roger Clark Motorsport

This is the JDM model that Prodrive used to build the P1 Impreza from 1999 to 2001.

Imported in 2005 by SVA Imports I am the second UK owner.

Standard features include power assisted steering, electric windows, electric folding door mirrors, 5 speed close ratio gear box, DCCD control, auto air conditioning and rear wash wipe.
This particular car comes with a factory fitted A, B and C pillar and roof bar padded roll cage (entry/exit is not obstructed with easy access to rear seats) also fitted is a Type RA roof vent with directional vents in side the cabin.
I also have an English owners manual and all the Japanese paperwork from new. I also have all the paper work and receipts for everything done to this vehicle during its life in the UK.

Since buying this car in April 2007 I have spent a few thousand £'s modifying and up grading various components. With all the work I have had done I have tried to keep the look of the car as close to the original factory design.

Please read through the spec and take a look through the pictures and see what you think...

As a SIDC member and performance car enthusiast this car has always been well looked after with regular services and oil changes, washed and waxed very often and garaged over night.
I have enjoyed 4 happy years of ownership attending car shows and other SIDC organised events and I believe this really is a very special Subaru Impreza. However my bond with the car is now not as strong (...yes I am getting old!) and I feel a need to move on and get something else. So it is time to let some one else enjoy many miles of modified Impreza ownership.

I am asking for £8,000

Thank you for looking.
Please give me a call if you want any further information

All that money spent on the engine and only went for 332bhp????

some people just don't want big power, and at the end of the day, the owner has peace of mind, its not gonna pop because it isn't silly power, just because you've got a 400bhp engine, doesn't mean you have to make the engine run 400bhp.

I sold my Type R last year with a bigger spec for 8k.

I'm selling my DCCD box if you're interested in changing it if you buy it it's in the for sale section at the minute

bonesetter

I suppose it's just askin' for a turbo upgrade

Does this mean the engine has had an easy time of it ?

ditchmyster

iTrader: (7)

Yes not everyone feels the need for big power, iv'e just dropped mine down to 300 as i dont want anything else to go pop and 300 in a type r is still a quick car.

....but that Type R has DCCD Merv.

Looks really nice and spec is good, but 8K?

Brun

I understand the strong safe engine thing but if you were only going for a fairly modest power output then surley there are a number of items on that list which could be knocked of while still retaining a decent level of safety?

For 8k I'd be looking at getting a limited mate

Agreed. So there's good untapped potential - albeit putting more dollar into an already overpriced car

Its blue with a roof vent, it could already be one

budget for a six speed thats what i did when my fourth was notchy after a week of buying it try and write down your spec of what you want as sometime looks are more important that power and vice versa

octanejunky

iTrader: (3)

Only a dccd 5speed or p1 box will fit unless u go 6 speed. Dont know wat its like on the mainland but them boxes are quite rare in n.i and postage is a b i t c h!

He sold this car to his mate for 8K 'as is' - that is with a crunchy 4th gear, basically a 'box refurb job.

Thing that just didn't stoke me was power delivery - for ~330 bhp it just feel that punchy

Still, plenty more fish in the Type R sea - should be sealing the deal on a peach Sunday
