New Subaru Turbo for sale |
| | Subaru Impreza RB5 Build No 124 .
| Hi , and welcome to an auction for my RB5, I bought this car last year from a guy who had lost the keys 2 years previous, It had sat in his Dad`s back ...> garden for that time, All service history has been lost and there were no keys, | I bought it with the intention of bringing it back to life, However, family commitment and new Job forces me to sell before it is completed, | I ordered the key direct from Subaru and now locks and unlocks all doors, It will not crank as the key needs to be programmed, I have cranked the engine over and have checked that there is good oil pressure when cranking, which there is, I cant see any reason for the engine not to start once the key is coded, However, that was a risk I took when buying and i would pass the same sentiments on to the perspective buyer. Is was only taken off the road due to insurance costs not affordable and then the keys were lost. | I have fitted brand new discs and pads all round as the ones that were on there had rusted and were seizd, All brakes are now freed off, Although I have not re-fitted the handbrake shoes, I do have the new parts to go with the car, I havnt fitted these due to not knowing how long the car would be sat for, | Its a genuine car that is near stamdard apart from a "Jasma" rear exhaust box and aftermarket dumpvalve, It even has the origonal radio cassette and 6 disc cd changer. | Body work wise, the car has some battle scars and is no way concours, the odd dent and scrape here and there, | The only rust on the car is in the picture shown where the O/S sill spoiler rubs through the paintwork underneath the drivers door, If you know these cars then you will understand that the rear arches are prone to corrosion, This car does not have any rust on the arches, I have even looked and cleaned behind the known areas and all is rust free. Very rare to find one without rust here. | Worst point, It is a cat D write off back in 2003 which to the best of my knowledge was due to drivers side damage, including wing and both doors, the repairs look reasonable and it has origonal paintwork to the sill and pillars so would assume it was just cosmetic damage, | Not alot of work would get this car back on the road, I just purely dont have the time, Reep my downfall. A future classic that is getting rarer by the day. | Bidding is to buy, not kick the tyres and negotiate, I will not ship abroad or sell outside of UK Ebayers, | The car will need to be trailored away, There is no MOT or TAX, I do have the logbook in my name, | Any questions,,,, please ask | Deposit via paypal with the rest cash on collection | X

ÅŒta, Gunma, Japan (1993-present) Predecessor
Subaru Leone/Loyale Class
Compact The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that was first introduced by Subaru in 1993.
"Impreza" is a coined word, deriving from an originally Italian word, impresa, meaning a feat, achievement or undertaking.[1]
The Impreza was introduced after the popular Leone/Loyale was cancelled with the aging EA series engine. The Impreza was introduced with the popular EJ series engine found in the larger Subaru Legacy. In Japan, the Impreza sells more than the larger Legacy due to Japanese vehicle size legislation, which offers a reduced tax liability because of its smaller exterior dimensions.
Compared to vehicles in a similar size class such as Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, Suzuki SX4, Mitsubishi Lancer (including Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution) and Mazda Protegé/Mazda Axela, only the Impreza has always offered AWD. Subaru Impreza made this feature standard equipment in all trims, while its competitor, Mitsubishi Lancer puts this feature to Ralliart trims and Evolution versions. Subaru produces a lower volume of slightly upscale, well-equipped, sportier Impreza models, unlike other contemporaries in the compact category that offer no-frills base trims. [2]
Subaru chose to continue their longstanding use of the boxer engine in the Impreza. According to Subaru, their configuration of the engine inline with the transmission minimizes body roll due to the lower center of gravity compared with offset engines in most other vehicles. This is similar to the design of the Citroen 2CV, providing light weight and compact, economic design for basic cars. The boxer design provides good vibration mitigation due to the principles of a balanced engine because the movement of each piston is largely countered by a piston in the opposing cylinder bank, eliminating the need for a counter-rotating weighted crankshaft (harmonic balancer), but with some vibration from offsets. Torque steer is also reduced with this type of powertrain layout since the front drive shafts are of equal length and weight.[3] Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Subaru Impreza Contents 1 First generation - "GC"/"GF"/"GM"

Subaru Forester Introduced in November 1993, the Impreza was offered in either front wheel drive (FWD) or all wheel drive (AWD) versions and as a four-door sedan/saloon or five-door station wagon/estate. According to a Motor Trend article written March 1992 on page 26, the name of Subaru's new compact was, initially, to be called the Loyale, displaying an official photograph of the 4-door sedan. In late 1995, a two-door coupe was introduced. The Impreza, like many Subaru-built cars, was equipped with a flat engine, a distinguishing Subaru characteristic. Initial engine choices included 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated engines as well as the turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-litre engine. The basic turbocharged motor, the EJ20, produced from 244 PS (179 kW; 241 bhp) to 210 kW (286 PS; 282 bhp) in Japanese market WRX trim depending on model and year. Outside Japan, the turbocharged model was initially rated at 211 PS (155 kW; 208 bhp) and marketed as the 2.0 Turbo, 2.0 GT, 2.0 GT Turbo, 2.0 WRX, or Turbo 2000 AWD in the United Kingdom.
Trim levels were LX, GL and Sport. LX models were front-wheel drive, and powered by a 1.6-litre engine; these were four-door only. GL trim levels were either front-wheel drive (Subaru badged these 2WD) or all-wheel-drive (badged AWD); cars launched in 1993 had a choice of 1.6 and 1.8 flat-4 engines, the 1.6 being available with 2WD, the 1.8 an AWD version only. From 1996, the 1.6 and 1.8 versions were dropped (in the European market), and replaced by a 2.0-litre engine. Sport versions had alloy wheels, and a 2.0-litre engine only. These were "warm hatch" versions which were similar to the WRX, albeit less adorned.
In 1994, Subaru introduced Subaru Technica International (STi) versions of the Impreza in the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) and European Domestic Market (EDM). These models were upgraded from the WRX in many categories, including blueprinted performance-tuned engines, transmissions, and suspensions. The STi versions of the Impreza were immensely successful in rallies and popular among street racers. The first STi models featured higher power ratings than the WRX, while later versions of both WRX and STi were rated at 280 PS (206 kW; 276 bhp) due to the Japanese manufacturers' informal agreements around power ratings. Its top speed was electronically limited at 180 km/h (110 mph) and it had a 0–100 km/h time of 4.9 seconds in the UK Impreza Turbo 218 PS (160 kW; 215 bhp) version. 2006 WRX STI claimed 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.[4] RA (Race Altered) versions of the WRX and STi were also available in the Japanese market. Targeted for race and rally, the RA versions were generally lighter in weight; featuring reduced soundproofing, manual windows, no air conditioning, and added racing features such as more robust engines, driver controlled center differentials, and shorter gearing.
Special editions of the Impreza were very common in Japan and Europe, many coinciding with a significant World Rally Championship victory. These editions included the Series McRae, 555, Catalunya, Terzo, RB5, P1, and 22B, the latter still considered by many to be the ultimate Impreza of all time with its wide arched rally style body.
During this generation, Subaru made a limited edition Impreza Sport Wagon called the CasaBlanca,[5] which had a retro front and rear end treatment, which was inspired by the popular kei car Subaru Vivio Bistro styling package and Subaru Sambar Dias Classic. The Sport Wagon was also offered with the WRX turbocharged engine, and was called the Gravel Express.
The Impreza received an external facelift for the 1997 model year, followed by an interior redesign in 1998, using the new redesigned dashboard from the Forester.
The European 1999-2000 turbo model received further upgrades in the form of more parts from the STi range. The front brakes became Subaru branded 4-pot calipers with 294 mm discs, the wheels having become 16-inch (410 mm) lightweight alloys from 1998 - previously 15-inch (380 mm), vented rear discs, the Sti 4 high level wing was fitted to the saloon, Sti style front bucket seats and firmer suspension. The phase 2 engine now fitted developed 160 kW (218 PS; 215 bhp), an increase of 5 kW (7 PS; 7 bhp) over the previous model.
The story of the North American Impreza is much different than the rest of the world. North American markets never received a turbocharged version of the first generation Impreza (it was heavily rumored in 1998 and 1999). Subaru never had a performance image in North America, so Subaru initially offered the Impreza with the 1.8L engine only, with either front- or all-wheel drive; a 2.2-liter engine became optional in 1995. Subaru later decided to emphasize all-wheel drive, making it standard on every Impreza (and Legacy) from 1997 onwards.
There was a minority that knew of the Impreza's accomplishments overseas and was very interested in having a high-performance Impreza. To test the waters for a full-fledged turbo model Subaru showcased a turbocharged version of the Impreza at various car shows around the country. The vehicle was named the 2.5RX and is now located in Subaru of America's Cherry Hill, NJ storage facility. Subsequently the 2.5RS performance model was introduced in 1998 (the same year the 1.8-liter engine was dropped). A naturally-aspirated 165 bhp (123 kW; 167 PS) 2.5L DOHC engine and larger brakes, borrowed from the Legacy, were fitted into the coupe body with gold-colored 16" five-spoke wheels. The 2.5RS also featured several external cues from its overseas brethren such as hood vents, a hood scoop, and a rally-inspired rear spoiler. The 1999 model featured several changes: the newly designed "Phase II" SOHC version of the same 2.5L engine featured a slightly higher peak torque (225 N·m (22.9 kgf·m; 166 ft·lbf) vs. 220 N·m (22 kgf·m; 160 ft·lbf)), the wheels turned to a standard silver, the interior got an update, and US versions became visually similar to their Japanese contemporaries with an updated front bumper borrowed from the Japanese Version 6 Impreza WRX STi. 2.5RS models became available in sedan form in 2000.

Saab 9-2X Subaru introduced the "New Age" Impreza to the world market in 2001. The second generation Impreza was intended to be larger, safer, stiffer, more refined, and more responsive. For many enthusiasts, the changes in the new car made it less desirable because it was heavier and slower with less of a raw edge to it.[citation needed] The WRX Sedan had a 20 mm wider track than its predecessor to aid handling, while the wagon remained the same. The coupe model was no longer available. The headlamp styling of the New Age Impreza was polarizing, but the improvements to the car brought greater mainstream acceptance.
For quick and easy reference to the different exteriors, some Subaru Impreza owners use nicknames based on the headlights. Each relates to a creature that has similar looking eyes: 2002–2003 are 'bug eyes' / 2004–2005 are 'crocodile eyes' or 'blob eyes' / 2006–2007 are 'hawk eyes'.
In the United States, release of the basic 227 bhp (169 kW; 230 PS) 2.0 L turbocharged Impreza, the WRX, did not occur until the 2002 model year, and the Impreza WRX STi was delayed until the 2004 model year. The US version of the STi includes various departures from the Japanese and European counterparts, such as a turbocharged 2.5 L EJ257 engine, rather than the twin scroll turbo 2.0 L engine sold elsewhere. All 2006 American Imprezas use some form of the 2.5 L EJ25 engine since naturally aspirated and turbo charged are available. 2004 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS Some customers' and the press' negative reaction to the New Age Impreza's styling forced Subaru to facelift the car in 2003 for 2004 model year,[weasel words] with more conventional, rectangular headlamps, nicknamed 'crocodile eyes' (although many still use the 'blob eyes' nickname). For the US market, the facelifted Impreza was offered as 2.5 RS Sedan and TS Wagon, 2.5 Outback Sport Wagon, WRX Sedan and Wagon, and the new WRX STi Sedan. Sport Package was optional for the RS, and the WRX could be ordered with Premium Package. The RS, TS, Outback Sport, and WRX are available with manual or automatic transmission, while the sole transmission for the STi is 6 speed manual.
All 2006 Imprezas, including the performance models, have been redesigned again with the controversial "jet intake and wings" grille first debuted on the Subaru B9 Tribeca crossover SUV, along with new headlights (nicknamed 'hawk eyes'), taillights, and bumpers. Opinion on this style is split, but is generally regarded as better applied on the Impreza than the Tribeca.[citation needed] The grille design was dropped in the 3rd generation Impreza, due to the restyling. The 2.5 RS was dropped from the line up, and replaced by the base model 2.5i.
The most basic Impreza in Japan is 1.5 i with 1.5 liter EJ15 SOHC engine. The 1.5 R comes with the 1.5 L DOHC engine with AVCS, but is only available with automatic transmission, whereas the 1.5i model is available with either automatic or manual transmission. For both models, AWD and 2WD versions are available. Option packages for either the 1.5i or 1.5R include wheel type, size, bucket seats, and white LED illuminated gauge meters. Starting with model year 2006, the EJ15 was replaced with the new EL15
In 2005, Subaru made their AVCS standard on all engines used in the Impreza.
For export market, the all-wheel drive 1.6 TS is offered in Singapore and other Asian countries. The 1.5 sedan is normal body similar to the Sports Wagon. The TS shares wide body with WRX and WRX STI.
[edit] 2004
Models offered in Australia in 2004 included the GX (2.0 L engine, this model has become the baseline Impreza in Australia), RV (2.0 L engine, styled for active lifestyles, similar to the USA-spec Impreza Outback Sport), RS (2.5 L engine, sport model) along with the WRX and STi version thereof. The RX model has been abandoned in Australia, and its position in the Impreza line-up has been subsumed by the GX (which had formerly been a sparsely outfitted budget model). A variant of the RS for Australia is the RS-X, which whilst technically not a naturally-aspirated version of the WRX as is often claimed, does feature many WRX components, including wheels and brakes, in a package powered by the 2.5 litre drivetrain.
[edit] 2005–2007
In late 2004 a new range was released; including the entry-level 2.0i (formerly GX), RV, 2.0R (formerly RS), WRX and WRX STi models. The 2.0R changed from a 2.5 L engine to a slightly more powerful 2.0 L engine; while the turbocharged WRX changed from a 2.0 L engine to a 2.5 L engine. The automatic transmission was dropped from the WRX, despite the popularity of the sports shift automatic in other Subarus such as the Outback. In 2006 the automatic transmission was added to the Limited package, which includes heated leather seats, power mirrors, heated wiper blades and a sunroof. Side airbags were added as standard across the range. Subaru Impreza WRXs have been bought by French Gendarmerie for its Motorway patrols. At the New York Auto Show, Subaru introduced a new WRX.[6] 2002–2003 Subaru Impreza sedan (US) 2006–2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i sedan (US) 2005–2007 Subaru Impreza wagon (EU) Subaru Impreza 1.6 TS used by the Singapore Police Force [edit] Third generation - "GE"/"GH"/"GR" Third generation Production

Subaru Exiga [edit] 2008 2008–2009 Subaru Impreza R sedan (Australia) On 2 April 2007, Subaru officially unveiled the next generation Impreza WRX at the 2007 New York Auto Show.[7] In contrast to its usual rival, the Mitsubishi Lancer, the Impreza WRX is increasingly being positioned as a 'practical' performance car - the suspension for instance is more accommodating of everyday roads.[8][9] Similar to the marketing of the Lancer, Subaru plans to offer a lower volume of slightly upscale, well-equipped, sportier Impreza models, unlike other contemporaries such as the Honda Civic, Mazda3, and Toyota Corolla that offer no-frills base trims. [2] The new Impreza is offered as both a 4-door sedan and 5-door hatchback.
The new base model Impreza is slightly longer, wider and has a longer wheel base. The dashboard in the Impreza is much more open and is easy to configure. Two Subaru traditions have been ended with the new Impreza: the parking light switch atop the steering column is no longer present, and for the first time the windows have frames to improve NVH levels.[10] MY2011 Subaru Impreza R hatchback (Australia) In the Japanese domestic market the range comprises the 1.5 litre 15S using the EL15 series engine, the 2.0 litre 20S and the 2.0 litre turbocharged S-GT using the EJ20 series engine. Variations are found in other markets around the world: In Australia the range at launch included three 2.0 litre models (the R, RX and RS) and a 2.5 litre turbocharged WRX.
In the United States market (the US and Canadian markets were the only ones to receive the sedan until it made its Japanese debut in fall 2008 as 'Impreza Anesis') for the 2008 model year, the model range consists of the 2.5 liter, 2.5i and Outback Sport and the 2.5 liter turbocharged WRX. Both the 2.5 and the 2.5i are electronically limited from surpassing 190 km/h (120 mph). The EJ253 engine carries over from the previous generation to power the 2.5i and the EJ255 engine carries over from the previous generation (although it now uses many external engine components from the Legacy GT) to power the turbocharged WRX trim levels. In the Canadian market, the base Impreza 2.5i model received upgrades for the 2009 model year, including rear disc brakes, electronic stability control and traction control, and body-colored door handles, features previously only found on the 2.5 Sport and more expensive trims. MY2011 Subaru Impreza XV hatchback (Australia) Interior From September 2007 the Impreza range in Australia has been changed with models designated R, RX, RS and WRX. Initially only hatch models were offered. The R, RX and RS all share the same engine - a new 2.0 L, with 110 kW (150 PS; 148 bhp) @ 6400 rpm and 196 Nm @ 3200 rpm. Subaru recommends that the new engines be run on 95 RON premium unleaded fuel. Another noticeable difference from the Japanese Impreza is the removal of the "Engine Start" button from the Australian model. The iconic WRX has largely unchanged engine power output of 169 kW (230 PS; 227 bhp) and 320 Nm from its 2.5 L engine. As with previous versions, there will only be a manual version of the WRX. The weight of the car also has been lightened (by ~50 lbs) to just 1400 kg, and gives the WRX a 0–100 km/h time of 5.8 seconds. In contrast, curb weight of the standard Impreza model is ~60 lbs heavier, although still lighter than the WRX trim level.
In Israel, the Impreza is denoted as the B3, and three styles are offered: the B3 1.5, with a 1.5 liter engine, the B3 2.0 and the B3 2.0 Sport, both with 2.0 liter engines. Four-door and five-door models are available for each engine type, ranging from the basic R class, to the medium RX and top RXI class. No 2.5 liter engine option is available.[11]
The third generation Impreza is sold in certain Asian countries in 1.5 R, 2.0 R, 2.0 S-GT, 2.5 WRX, and 2.5 WRX STI trim levels. In Indonesia, the Impreza is only available as 5 door Hatchback only, but all trim levels are offered. The 1.5 R and 2.0 R can be ordered with Dual Range 5 speed manual, or 4 speed automatic SPORTSHIFT electronically-controlled transmission. However, in Singapore and Thailand, the Impreza 1.5 R, 2.0 R, and 2.5 WRX are also offered as 4 door Sedan. MY2008 Subaru Impreza WRX hatchback (US) The latest-generation of the WRX STI which is built as "wide body" hatchback only debuted in the Tokyo Auto Show in October 2007. The release date for a US launch was in March 2008. The WRX STI chassis code is GR, different from the GH used for the "standard body" hatchback WRX chassis. The Japanese WRX STI is powered by 2.0 liter improved EJ207 engine with twin scroll turbo, while the American and other export models has 2.5 liter EJ257 with single scroll turbo. The Impreza WRX STI features a Multi-Mode Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD).
[edit] Facelift 2010 Subaru Impreza RX hatchback (Australia) A facelifted 2010 model of the Subaru Impreza went on sale in late 2009, receiving a new grille insert.
In the 2010 New York International Auto Show, Subaru unveiled the 2011 model year "wide body" Impreza WRX Sedan and Hatchback, as well as the Impreza WRX STI 4 door Sedan. The new STI Sedan features high rear spoiler similar to the old STI.
[edit] Safety
Safety of the car has been increased with range wide inclusion of Stability/Traction control as standard in some markets. In early September 2007, the IIHS crash-tested the 2.5i 5-door Impreza and gave it the highest ranking available due to the test results the car achieved, continuing Subaru's reputation for producing cars that consistently earn the institutes highest rating.[12]
The Impreza also achieved a 5 Star Safety Rating, and a 4 Star Pedestrian Safety rating in the ANCAP crash tests.
[edit] Diesel
A boxer diesel engine, called the Subaru EE, for European Impreza models was introduced at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The diesel Impreza was made available for sale in several European countries in early 2009, with the 2.0 litre turbodiesel engine of 150 horsepower. Two models are available as of July 2009, 2.0 TD and 2.0 TD Sport, which is better equipped.[13]
[edit] Reputation
Subaru uses the Impreza chassis for the mechanical underpinnings of the Forester, a small crossover SUV designed to compete in the segment comprising the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape.
As a result of GM's investment in Fuji Heavy Industries and ownership of Saab, the badge engineered Saab 9-2X used the second generation Impreza wagon, released in 2005 (given the rally-derived "Saab Rally Wagon")[14] which was discontinued in 2006 due to the dissolution of the Subaru-GM partnership.
Subaru sold a cosmetically altered (in the neoclassic style) sedan and wagon in Asia called the Subaru Casa Blanca.
[edit] Motorsports 2006 Impreza Rally Car Stéphane Sarrazin driving a Subaru Impreza WRC on the Monte Carlo Rally The Impreza chassis has been more successful in rallying than Subaru's previous contenders. Prior to the introduction of the Impreza into World Rally Championship racing in 1993, the Subaru World Rally Team had fielded its larger mid-size Legacy. However, with the rest of the rally competition increasingly shifting towards smaller and lighter chassis, Subaru introduced the smaller Impreza, immediately achieving a podium on its debut on the 1993 1000 Lakes Rally. To jumpstart its early rally efforts, and to develop the Impreza into a competitive rally car, Subaru teamed up with its current preporatory firm, British motorsports company Prodrive, in 1989.
Immediately following the first overall WRC event win for both the fledgling Subaru team and its young driver, the late Colin McRae aboard a Group A Legacy on the 1993 Rally New Zealand, the Scotman's team-mate and childhood idol, 1981 World Rally Champion, Ari Vatanen of Finland, went on to finish second in the debut rally of the first ever factory Impreza. New recruit for the following season, 1990 and 1992 World Champion, Carlos Sainz brought the Impreza its inaugural victory on the 1994 Acropolis Rally.
The Impreza brought Subaru three consecutive WRC constructors' titles (1995–1997, the latter season the first for the newly introduced World Rally Car class) and a driver's championship for McRae in 1995, the late Richard Burns in 2001, and the Norwegian, Petter Solberg in 2003.
Another evolution of the Impreza WRC made its debut in the 2007 Corona Rally Mexico. Unfortunately, the team had several major problems with reliability as the car experienced mechanical difficulties in almost every rally from its first.
Subaru debuted an Impreza WRC in hatchback form for the first time from the 2008 Acropolis Rally onwards, on which event Solberg scored a second place finish.
On 16 December 2008 Subaru announced that it would withdraw from the World Rally Championship due to economic problems.[15]
However, the Subaru Rally Team USA is still competing in the Rally America National Championship. Also, there are still several teams using Subaru models in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
[edit] Safety
In Australia, the 1993-2004 Subaru Impreza was assessed in the Used Car Safety Ratings 2006 as providing "average" protection for its occupants in the event of a crash.[16][17][18] In frontal-offset and side crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the United States, the second-generation Impreza earned "Good" ratings. 2005-2007 models also earned a "Good" rating for rear crash protection (head restraint design) placing it at the top of IIHS small car ratings.
The third generation MY2008 Impreza continued the tradition and also earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety highest rating for "Good" in each individual test, earning an overall score of "Good".[12]
The third generation MY2008 Impreza hatchback received five stars (34.66 out of 37 points) for occupant protection and a four star pedestrian rating under testing by ANCAP.[19]
[edit] Awards and acknowledgments
The Impreza was Wheels magazine's Car of the Year for 2000. Car and Driver Magazine named the North American market WRX to its prestigious 10-best list in 2002, with a follow-up performance in 2003.

I have owned it since 2006 and have enjoyed every minute of it. I`v consistently maintained it with things replaced or done when its been required. It has been my daily runner since Iv had it so maintaining it has been my priority.My reason for sale now is that I got married earlier this year and a more family friendly car is required now. Also, my commute to work is to and from Heathrow which takes me up and down the M4 so although it gets a good run and a warm up, I just dont use the power available and obviously MPG is playing its part in this. It originally came with the Prodrive Performance Pack which gave it a power increase, breathing and external upgrades. Have certificate to prove this. As with most of us we plan on keeping cars as they are but the mod bug got me so its had a bit of money thrown at it over the years. I consider these "sensible" mods as it just made a great car that much better without going too over the top and catered to my needs. The car comes with P/S, E/W all round and AC. Mods : - 17" Inovit Tarmac Alloys in whiteP1 Style Front SplitterSTI Carbon Strut braceExcedy ClutchGrooved DiscsGoodridge Brake lines all roundProdrive Exhaust (came with car when I bought it) Full De - cat (came with car when I bought it)STI 440cc yellow injectorsHybrid FMICAPI Upgraded Oil PumpWalbro Fuel pumpVF35 TurboTurbo Smart 3 Port Boost SolenoidK & N 57i Induction KitApexi PFC Mapped by Paul Blamire of Zen PerformanceOmex Shift lights (came with car when I bought it)Oil Pressue, Oil Temp and Boost gaugesPioneer AVIC 3 Bluetooth SATNAV Head Unit Turbo timer (came with car when I bought it)Cobra Thatcam 1 alarmTrackerThe mapping made a massive difference and those in the know will know of Paul and the outstanding work hes carried out over the years. The car is safely mapped to a max of 1.40 bar with the injectors running at 87% max. Loads of head room and a very good margin of safety which for me is perfect. The is fast enough for my needs. I have not upgraded the suspension as the factory set up is perfect for me and Im not a big fan of coilovers. The passenger rear side strut was found to be leaking which was promptly replaced. It has also just had a new radiator as the original had a small crack in the plastic casing. It has a full service history with a fully stamped book apart from 3 of them from when I forgot to take my service book with me. Also has all MOTS and receipts from when the car was first purchased. The following is the service`s carried out up to date: - 1000 - Service 17/08/987500 - Service 06/07/9915000 - Service 03/08/0022500 - Service 05/04/0130000 - Service 28/05/0237500 - Service 11/01/0345000 - Service 17/11/0352500 - Service 23/09/0560000 - Service 01/08/06 07/12/06 Belts changed and oil pump seals replaced 67500 - Service 29/05/200775000 - Service No stamp 82500 - Service No stamp 16/02/2009 New discs, pads, brake fluid and hoses90000 - Service 14/01/10 Belts replaced and API oil Pump 05/06/10 new front pads, gearbox oil replaced97500 - Service 22/07/2010105000 - Service 26/10/10The car drives superb and always is fully warmed up before any major power is used and allowed to cool down when returning home or parking up. Starts first time every time and pulls like a train. Since Iv owned the car majority of the servicing has been carried out by Colin Minton of Ignition Motorsport. Body work is good condition however there are a few car park dings which you can only see if you look really hard. I would say this is expected though for its age.There are two things which I will point out and are in the photos : -1 - the paint on the passenger side mirror has started to flake off. Can be either painted again or order a new pair from ebay which go for about £30 - £402 - somethings dropped on my windscreen a few days ago causing this chip. This can be fixed by an insurance company. My last insurer was charging £25 excess for a repair and £80 for a full replacement. 3- The satnav on the head unit has stopped working for reason. Pioneer stated that they would need the whole unit to check it over. Unfortunatly I dont have the tools to take it all out and I dont want to end up ruining the dash hence why I left it. Apart from that everything works perfectly fine, plays DVD/CD/MP3 and connects to Ipod. Aside from these two niggles, the car is excellent. Current mileage is 107840 which over the last 3 years has been mainly motorway miles due to my commute to and from work. The Tax and MOT expire at the end of this month has two sets of keys and alarm fobs. Since I have had it the car has passed its MOT everytime with no issues. Majoirity have been conducted at Power Engineering in Uxbridge who have commented on how nice the car is and generally the car turns heads alot. Along with the car I still have a Hayward and Scott exhaust which I replaced with the Prodrive one which was on there when I first bought the car. As the car is on the motorway 90% of the time I felt the need for going back to something a little quieter. It does however still sound great, but if you want that bit extra then the H & S will make a difference.I am putting it up for £4000 but I am open to offers and your are welcome to inspect it. However, the usual stuff applies, no canvassars, no tyre kickers and no test pilots. If you want to take it for a test drive then I expect to see a valid and in date fully comp insurance certificate stating that you are allowed to drive a privatly owned vehicle. If you cannot provide this then I am happy to take to you for a run but you wont be driving it. As I stated at the beginning my main reason for sale is that I need something for the family now which will give me decent MPG so diesel is my only option.
