Description
ONLY APPROXIMATELY 2,000 MILES SINCE THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINE REBUILD.
Auto Trader displays the car's total mileage. The forged, closed-deck engine has covered approximately 2,000 miles since build.
2003 Subaru Impreza WRX Blobeye producing a dyno-proven 636 bhp. Originally a UK WRX, it has been transformed with an STI six-speed drivetrain, 2.1-litre engine, RCM600 turbo, Link G4X management and flex-fuel capability.
Correctly run in, professionally mapped and running beautifully. Calm and usable when required, but absolutely savage when the RCM600 comes alive.

Power is delivered through a six-speed STI transmission and upgraded STI drivetrain with a heavy-duty clutch.
BC Racing coilovers and extensively renewed suspension and underbody hardware make the car feel tight, planted and genuinely track-car sharp. New parts are fitted throughout the underside, with around 1K spent on replacement bolts and fixings alone.
A brand-new 7-inch Android head unit provides 8GB/128GB, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 4G and an integrated Enginetuner/Link ECU live display.
The shell and underside have undergone extensive professional restoration, supported by photographs and invoices. Work includes the rear drivetrain and brakes, front drop links, boot and rear-light seals, and full alignment.
This is a professionally engineered, tuned and comprehensively restored road car that starts, idles and drives exactly as it should.
The build represents an enormous investment in premium components, labour, restoration and tuning. Recreating it today would cost substantially more than the asking price.
Full specification, invoices, build photographs, dyno evidence and supporting documentation are available.
Only being offered because my priorities have changed. I am not desperate to sell and will happily keep it if the right buyer does not come along.
Serious enquiries only. No swaps, test pilots or joyrides. Inspections are welcome. Passenger demonstrations can be arranged following proof of funds.
