paulgtt Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Year:1998Model:Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type RA Version 5 LimitedTax:May 2014MOT:November 2014Mileage:90,000Description:My STI RA is up for sale, I've only had it a few months but want to get back in an Evo!Its a V5 STI Type RA Limited, no. 17/10003 months tax and 9 months MOTClock shows just over 90k but don't know when it was converted to miles.The RA Impreza's are a lighter more driver focused car compared to a "normal" STI, it features the following:Less sound deadingThinner glassAluminium body panelsQuick steering rackClose ratio gearboxDriver controlled centre diffNo ABSRoof ventAs this is a Limited version it also has electric windows and mirrors.The engine was rebuilt by Neil at Slowboy Racing using a version 8 short engine and refurbed version 5 heads, the aircon was also removed. The DCCD was refurbished and the gearbox and rear diff were both serviced.He also fitted a low mileage VF28, new MAF sensor, front disks and pads, rear pads and fresh brake fluid.The car is running on VR1 10-60 Racing oil and only gets either V-power or Tesco 99 fuel.All this was done at 88,650 so its only done around 1500 miles since rebuild.There is also Japanese service history aswell as a UK service book with stamps.There are a couple of small issues with the car.One of the front suspension top mounts is knocking slightly but il be replacing these this week all being well.Theres some marks on the body, the car has had wind deflectors fitted at some point and these have marked the paint where they've been removed, theres also a very small amount of surface rust on the rear n/s arch (not bad but wants sorting). Normal age related marks as to be expected on a car of this age.The fuel flap doesn't open without being pulled while the lever inside the car is held up, its the little release spring which is missing, im currently trying to source one!All in all its a very nice, unmolested example of a STI Type RA, the only modification being an Afterburner cat back exhaust which isn't too loud either. It drives very well and pulls strongly through all the gears.I would also include in the sale the following:A Hayward & Scott decat downpipeSet of clear front and side indicatorsPrice:SOLDPictures:Plenty more pictures available on request Contact Details:On the thread or via PM Edited May 8, 2014 by paulgtt Link to post Share on other sites

Snow Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 what's the mpg like, odd question I know but unknown daily running costs are the main issue with me buying this Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Will sit higher in the revs because of the gearing and as a result the mpg will suffer. Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 At 70mph it runs around 3500rpm.Its definately a b-road blaster then a motorway crusier, I've been seeing low 20's on mixed driving (alot of dual carriage ways thrown in to be fair), fuel tank is 60 litres on these. But it is alot of fun Link to post Share on other sites
