A bit different - 300hp Subaru Impreza - Cambs - £2100

This impreza is a little bit different to your usual stickered up, rally rep. Its an absolutely awesome car but I'm REALLY missing the retro stuff and i just got myself a nissan cedric estate and what can i say im in love so no more swap or px offers! cash only please sensible offers accepted it needs to go!

MOT - December 2010
TAX - December 2010

History - Loads and loads, fully stamped, loads of receipts, every MOT certificate up to the current one. All original booklets etc.

Spec :
The Car is a turbo 2000 wagon but has complete import WRX running gear including the engine, which was rebuilt in 2007, I have the rebuild certificate and information that will go with the car. It is a desirable spec car having the full leather interior giving a more classy and quality look and finish compared to the usual garish coloured buckets, fantastic working aircon, power steering, 4 electric windows, electric adjustable headlamps, fog lights etc etc. It is a lovely car.

Engine :
The engine is fantastic and runs great, no smoke, good compression no problems to report there. It has a slight tapping at idle as I did the valve clearance recently as they was too tight. They are completely in spec now and all the tolerances are now correct but for some reason has resulted in a very slight tapping but doesn't affect the engine in anyway and I have been told it is completely normal for the larger valve heads this has on it, by a couple of scooby nuts. Larger TD05 turbo, STi intercooler, wrapped tubular headers, 3" wide mouth downpipe fully wrapped, de-catted centre section and pro drive backbox. I will include the downpipe with cat and the catted centre section so you can put them on for MOTs. It has an awesome sound doesn't sound like your usual scoob, it has a more raspy "tweaked" note to it that gives away that its been played with. ESL daughter board, runs 1.1 bar, ported throttle body, green cotton panel filter. Recently serviced new fluids, filters etc so runs lovely, boosts and pulls hard. It is a near as damnit 300bhp and goes like hell it really is an awesome engine

Running gear :
Everything here is fine no problems to report, silent gearbox, no whines knocks etc from any of the suspension or running gear, lowering springs obviously to get it to the height it is now, on standard shocks, rides and goes round corners very well. I have done quite a lot of work to get the wheels to sit nicely and not scrape or rub. Brakes are new mintex pads and discs on the front.

Wheels :
18"x8" BBS LM replica's not sure of the exact make but they are a fantastic replica and look great, they have 215/40/18 tyres to give a nice little bit of stretch but not too much. D1 spec alloy wheel nuts "tuner" style using an allen key type tool for removing them. Tyres are all pretty much near new with loads of tread 5-6mm.


Misc :
Good high quality gReddy electronic boost gauge for maximum acuracy, interior is all in great condition, nice black leather, aircon works great nice and cold. Polished rear strut brace with STi pink end mouting plates. Body is all in great condition, has a few little "dings" shall we call them in a couple of places as J metal is quite thin but nothing to cause any bother and you will only see them if you go looking for them.

Security :
Remote central locking from the Cat 1 total closure thatcham approved alarm & imobiliser with instalation certifcate, owners manual etc etc

The car is located in March Cambridgeshire PE15, part exchangers or swappers will either need to come to me or I will meet half way for the right deal I'm not willing to drive all the way to you when your 300 miles away!

Any questions or possible deals text me or call me on 07540765075. (may not answer calls during week days as I'm at work)

Looking for £2100ono Cash only, no swaps or PXs as ive got my perfect car now. Sensible offers accepted just try me!

AWESOME! Dude, if this was in 6 months I'd be biting your arm off! Don't know if I missed it, but, is it a UK or import?
 
not at all, a top mount doesnt govern your power. Its mostly myth that you have to have a FMIC on these for loads of power. I know of a few over 400 on Top mounts. FMIC just gives you loads more lag ;)
 
So do I.
But mine wouldn't make near that with a standard top mount and there was no way I was going to spend £400+ on a top mount.
The STI top mount (deeper core)I bought and fitted to mine didn't really help either.
So I fitted an FMIC and got nearly 320bhp without a remap. Was struggling to get near 290bhp with a top mount. Way too restrictive, not big enough and just in the wrong place.
And the lag associated with FMIC's is mostly a myth and not really noticeable if you've used the right bits and are running it correctly.
 
Why are you comparing yours to mine then? There is no way you got 320bhp with just a FMIC and no remap. Please keep your opinions to yourself im not asking for your factually incorect opinion im trying to sell/swap my car. Look on any scoob forum and you will see hundreds running over 300 on a top mount.
 
Easy tiger.

I initially said you'd done well. Intimating that your car had more potential.

However now, unless you've got graphs to prove it, I think it's a guess on your part based on "any scoob forum".

And you will see a damn site more Impreza's running FMIC's than top mounts for the reasons I previously stated.


You're right. I didn't get 320bhp with just a front mount. I was also running an AVCR, RRFPR, VF22 and a 3" Scorpion exhaust.

I've been playing with my Impreza for 4 years to get it where it is without a remap or aftermarket ECU so you might say that I know what I'm talking about and have done the research. Some of that research was buying bits and bolting them on to see what happened.
 
But like i said i wasnt asking for your opinion. I took "doing well to get 300 on a top mount" as a sarcy comment but if it wasnt then i apologise. It isnt a guess on my part at all. It was 100% 280bhp when it was originally mapped and its had other work since and a guy who really seriously knows his stuff with scoobs and is a mapper himself said its easily 300hp now.

Like i said this isnt a "hey this is my car what do you think thread" this is a "here is my car, its for sale" so if you dont want to buy it stop commenting. Besides REALLY who cares about the numbers? Its all about how it drives and goes sorry i dont spend my life on the rollers to give you pieces of paper to prove it.
 
Bump - Can people PLEASE check they can get insurance before discussing a price, arranging a time to look and collect etc, probably had 6 people do that to me now.
 
You'll get that with imprezas/evos...etc, I had so many messers when I sold my Type RA.

Nice car though, wheels suit it well :thumbs:
 
Rad started to leak the other day so I have bought and fitted a BRAND NEW radiator :)

Any swaps? Or any cheeky offers for cash?


mushtafa i dont have a pm from you?
