Description
Here we have my subaru impreza WRX STI UK addition. A car i have wanted to own and enjoy since a small child. 2012 the last of the hatch back models that subaru chose to make with the classic boxer engine 2.5 litre CC flat 4. Possibly the last boxer engine hatch back subaru will ever make. The pearlescent white paint making it a rare and expensive option from the dealer, expense has not been spared from the onset. Gun metal grey 18 inch alloy wheels (they do have the usual curb scratches could do with some TLC), which are fitted with high performance Goodyear eagle f1 tyres. The brakes are subaru STI fitted 4 pot callipers, and have huge drilled and grooved EBC rotars, the pads are also EBC blue stuff with less that 600 mile usage.
The engine has been fully uprated by Steve Whitson an expert engine builder, using manley tuff rods, forged COSWORTH pistons, closed deck insert. Sports clutch enabling a quick shift to deliver the power in a flash. Brand new turbo also fitted at the same time with less that 2000 miles of usage. This car has been warmed up and cooled down correctly every time and also run on shell advanced unleaded petrol, with fully synthetic 10w60 Millers oil. Full 2.5 inch exhaust system, custom built by Hayward and Scott with sports cat and quad slash cut tail pipes. The block has been painted, and is capable now of handling 600 horse power if you wish to take the upgrade and tuning further. Andy Forrest (the go to engine tuner for any subaru enthusiast) then tuned the car and it is now putting out 390 BHP. This car was tuned with launch control, simply bring the car to rest on flat ground in full power mode hold the clutch down and the accelerator watch the revs bounce at 4500 revs lift the clutch for a thrill like no other. I also had it tuned to include a downshift auto blip for smooth gear changes. Full Si drive user interface, allowing different power modes including an economical setting, 300 BHP setting and then the full 390 BHP, you can also customise where the power goes depending on your preference and mood. Wind shields, uprated antenna, Android Auto and Apple car play built in to the Pioneer head unit. Rear tinted windows, half leather and half alcantara Ricarro sports seats. Keyless entry and keyless push button start. 6 speed manual gearbox, with a short throw shifter, and a short throw steering rack. Electric folding mirrors. Keyless entry and keyless start. Air conditioning. Cruise control. Fog lights. Automatic self cleaning
