Quick breakdown of STI Classic Imports: 276BHP (280PS) as standard, The STI models have stronger internals than other Classic Imprezas (WRXs & UK Models) and also a whole list of other items: Better Clutch, Short Shift Gear Leaver, Folding Mirrors, Sti Rear Lights, Carbon Dash, 4Pot brakes on front 2 on rear and a nicer interior trim.

Unfortunately having to sell this due to personal circumstances, absolutely gutted. Everyday I seem to get a compliment from someone saying what a nice looking car it is. Even had someone say it looks like a delorean the other day, but he was about 90 and almost fell over my screwdrivers so may be a bit blind!

The car has Approx 10 months MOT, 5 months TAX. I would describe the car in very good condition for its age with only a few small soft dents, nothing a few £s couldn't sort out but it hasn't bothered me (they really are only a few small trolley dings and are hardly noticeable).

It has just been serviced by myself with Silkolene Pro S Oil and Filter, Coolant & NGK PFR7B Plugs, with receipts to prove.

The previous owner had the cambelt, water pump and clutch changed last year (again with receipts to prove) + other service history.

There are 2 brand new Pirellis on the back, the front tyres still have thousands of miles life left as well.

The alloys are 17" BBS Forged lightweight 22b Lookalikes in very good condition.

The brake calipers have been painted red.

The suspension on the front is quite solid (Coilovers) and could do with replacing as they are a bit harsh, I just missed out on a whole set of 97 STI suspension for £60 but am still on the lookout.

HKS Exhaust

Apexi Fully adjustable BOV - I don't usually like these, but have decided to stick with it as I have found a setting I like the sound of.

SARD ECU - £650 from Japan new

Interior wise is very clean, unfortunately the drivers seat has a small hole in though.

It has a turbo timer and a nice Alpine CD player and Pioneer speakers.

The car has a CAT 1 Alarm.

The car can be viewed in Ashford, Kent or Gatwick, Surrey.

The car made 310BHP on the rolling road at a very very safe 1 Bar of boost and the air/fuel ratio was checked and is totally fine. It holds 1bar of boost all the way from 3700RPM all the way through the rev range. I have the printout to prove this.

I'd just like to ad that for the buyers piece of mind, I wont use the car on the day that you come to pick it up, so that you'll be able to hear it from cold start, and that it sounds as it should and you'll see theres no smoke from the turbo either.

I've also got a Head Gasket sniffer tester that I can borrow from a friend so you'll be able to see that the Head Gasket is fine as well.
(This is very simple to use and will only take a few minutes) It will also show up any other leaks from the cylinders etc as well.

I'm looking for £3650.

I honestly don't think you can buy a quicker, nicer looking or as reliable car for the money. If you are thinking of buying a fresh import my advice is to view this first: Some fresh Imports still have snow tyres! No alarms, no service history, you have to pay to have them registered and wait approx. 2 weeks for the number plates and tax.

For those of you with a keen eye you will notice that the car has a version 6 bumper and crystal headlight and sidelights. I have the original bumper and headlights etc. if for some reason you did want to put it back to the Version 3 look.
