Description
1995 Subaru Impreza WRX GC8 - Extensively Maintained, Engine Rebuilt & Tastefully Modified
Offered for sale is my 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX GC8, a well-maintained enthusiast-owned example that has benefited from extensive maintenance and carefully selected upgrades throughout my ownership. This has never been built simply to chase high power figures; instead, the focus has always been on reliability, drivability and quality.
The engine was professionally rebuilt in May 2021 using metal head gaskets and new seals, and has since been meticulously maintained with servicing carried out every six months using Millers Nanodrive CFS 10W-50/60 fully synthetic oil and genuine Subaru black oil filters.
The car is currently conservatively mapped to approximately 302bhp via a SimTek Pro ECU to preserve the standard gearbox. However, it has the supporting modifications in place to comfortably accommodate significantly more power should a future owner wish to upgrade to a larger turbocharger.
