After 6 years of ownership time has come to sell my Impreza. The only reason I'm selling is due to the fact that I'm buying a R32 GTR Skyline.

I bought the car standard six years ago as a UK Turbo 2000 and I have slowly modified it to the current spec of 451bhp / 420lbft. The car has done 124k but only 15k on the engine, box and suspension. The engine was built by Engine Tuner and was properly run in with all the correct grade oils, and has been run on Millers 10w60 oil ever since with changes every 3k. I have always warmed and cooled the car down properly and NEVER drived hard from cold. This car owes me 19k (including the original purchase price) and I will be very sad to see it go. The engine can easily cope with 550bhp if you wanted to take it further but it's a very quick road / track car as it it. I have the standard seats if buyer prefers. The car has 11 months MOT and one months Tax.

The only bad points are the nearside shocks need rebuilding but I can get this done if I get somewhere near the asking price, the nearside rear arch has started to bubble on the back lip and there's the usual stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet. I have been quoted £650 to get the rear arch and bonnet/bumper resprayed by a reputable bodywork specialist

I am after offers in the region of £8k and please no timewasters. Viewings welcome, 07795066905

Skyline!!!! Get a sti type r and put your running gear in it....

 

Nicely spec'd classic
be awesome in a type r
u would probs get money quicker breaking also

 

Yea break it mate get slot more

 

Stunning car, great spec at a very good price. Please don't break it, hold out and the right buyer will come along

Good luck with the sale

 

Jay - Time for a change. I've always wanted one and I'm pretty set on a R32 GTR. You could always put the engine and box into your RB5, make use of the brakes

Thanks for the comments guys I know it would fetch more in a type r but I don't want to spend the time transferring the bits over or breaking it if I can help it. I'd rather see it go as a complete car. I'm in no rush to sell, it'll be coming off the road at the end of September for winter anyway.

 

That is tastefully modded and looks the part in green which is normally my least favourite colour on a scoob!

Glwts

 

one of my favorite cars on here always liked it , glwts bud

 

What a beauty
Off topic, but what tube/pipe have you used to replace the MAF pipe? And where did you get it from? Cheers

 

The car now runs maffless as it on the new simtek (not shown in the pics) but the inlet is a st/st custom pipe made by Engine Tuner. It's got a 3" silicone reducer to go onto the turbo and no take offs as I run a catch tank.

 

Cheers Marcus, glwts

 

looks stunning mate and good spec, although ull do well to get that sort of money from a sale. best of breakin mate.

 

STUNNING CAR BUDDY!!! WOULD BE A SHAME TO BREAK IT AFTER ALL THE TIME EFFORT AND CASH THATS GONE INTO IT!! JUST HOLD OUT SOME1 WILL HAVE IT

GLWS

 

I'm liking that!

Well sorted car for not much dough here! Surprised no-one has bitten your arm off frankly!

GLWTS

 

She certainly is a nice car with a great spec,the motor sounds lovely as well.
I am also the one who quoted on the bodywork required to make it A1 although it's only a whisker away any how!

 

mmmmm sexy must resist as ive just sold my 2009 focus st and moneys burning a hole in my pocket ..top motor

 

If I had that sort of money burning a hole,I think I'd have bought it by now.

 

lovely looking scoob GLWTS.

 

haha im in two minds this or the badgers white spec c blob or hold fire and wait till xmas time ...grrrr

 

Stunning :-)

 

Lot of car for the money. Peeps who want a fast classic will be way better off buying one already built rather than build it up themselves

TX.

 

loving that mate dont break it and glwts

 

Anybody's welcome to come and see it and I still have the standard seats if the current ones put anybody off. Ryan I just wanted to be honest, it's what I'd do if I was going to keep it.

TX, I'd love to keep it as we'll as my recent GTR but the money will be for a house deposit. That's the only reason I'm selling it. I know how much it cost me to build and how much time has gone into it so it will be missed a huge amount.

 

seen this a few times and its even better in the flesh good luck with the sale mate someone will get a very nice scooby

 

Thanks for the positive comments

 

ive said it before and ill say it again

the finest green impreza ive ever seen

glwts

 

What a great car, I remember when it was feauted in Total Impreza.
Please dont break it, it would be a crime.

Damn I wish I had 8k in the bank.

 

yhm
