I'm in the market for a 2 door WRX STI/Type R etc - must be low mileage & FSH. Around a 1998 MY. Not white, must have at least 280bhp. Must not have any schoolboy or pikey mods (don't want much do I) Looking around £15k cash

I've got a V5 Sti Type R in Cool Grey. Imported new in December '98, 30k miles, full history from new. New set of F1 tyres, taxed till December, Decat exhaust but no other mods at all.
I'm in Edinburgh, where are you ? Any other info you need ?

The car is a 98 R reg, Sonic Blue Sti4 Type R in excellent condition, with about 52k miles and full history from new.
As a Type R, it has the following as standard spec:
3 door body shell
Close ratio quick shift Group N gearbox with beefed up driveshafts (just under 1000rpm per 10mph in fifth).
Blue printed engine - redlined at 8250 rpm
Low friction aluminium inverted struts
4 piston front and 2 piston rear brake callipers
Front, rear and central limited slip differential
Adjustable centre diff (from a dial on the centre console) which allows customisation of handling characteristics from rear-drive -to full 4 wheel drive with diff lock (for gravel, ice etc...)
Intercooler waterspray cooling system.
Front strut brace, rear solid bulkhead
Climate control air con
Electric windows
Electric folding door mirrors
Fully colour coded
Low front splitter
Factory extra - quick steering rack - very rare and gives 2.5 turns lock to lock.
As you may know, Imprezas do need and benefit from certain mods (especially the brakes!!), and the following very high quality components have been added to the car. I have included some links so you can check out the suppliers and fitters where necessary. This gives you an idea of their value too!! Sorry if you are familiar with all this already.
Drivetrain
Full Power Engineering T75 exhaust system, sounds awesome but not too loud -no droning or resonation. Also has a sports CAT so will pass MOT!
Blitz Sus Induction kit
AP Racing clutch
www.powerengineering.co.uk
Suspension, brakes and wheels
Uprated Group N discs, pads and dot 5 fluid
17 inch silver Mim Brescia wheels from Scoobysport with Bridgestone SO2 pole position tyres. About ¼ worn. The 17'' wheels improve the ride drammatically - weird.
www.scoobysport.co.uk
Had full Power Engineering laser alignment to Prodrive settings so handles brilliantly.
Styling
Scoobysport carbon fibre 22B rear wing
Clear side repeaters
Other
Full Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser
Also has an up-rated but modest CD player and speakers.
Basically the car looks a lot like a P1 (same colour, very similar rear wing,similar wheels, just a lighter silver colour), but has considerably higher performance due to lower weight, shorter gears, and more power and torque.
The mods are very safe i.e. just breathing mods which give the engine back its natural outputs. they also improve fuel consumption greatly and I can get high 20s mpg if taking it relatively easy. I have the print outs from Power Engineering where it made 313 Bhp. Standard cars have 280 BHP peaking
at about 7.5k revs, and 260lbs/ft or torque at 4-4.5k. With these mods, useful boost comes in from 2-2.5k revs, the torque curve is flatter and there is more power - delivery basically starts earlier, harder and remains all the way up to the 8250 redline - urge at any revs from 3000 to the redline is pretty much the same i.e. huge. In standard form Type Rs do 0-60 in about 4.2 secs, and 0-100 in about 12.5, I have never timed mine and don't do these sorts of launches anyway. Rest assured that it is extremely
quick. Power/weight ratio is about (313bhp/1250kg x 1000) 252 Bhp/tonne.
Always run on Opyimax or SUL. The car was imported by Park Lane, and has had full history with them, Power Engineering or other specialists and has had the major cambelt service etc. It was imported used, but has its Japanese service history (very rare), plus Park Lane are probably the most reputable company in the UK for imports. Check out www.parklaneuk.net. I have had it
inspected and HPId etc, but would be happy for you to do any check you like.
It is in excellent condition, with a few of the ubiquitous stone chips.
Wheels are basically immaculate as I have had the only damaged one refurbed.
It looks stunning. The interior is in very good condition.
Looking for more than £15 though!!!!!
You can contcat me on 0044 7971 289 581.
Look forward to hearing from you!
