Impreza - Hillclimb/Rally/Trackday
#1 With much regret due to family illness I am considering selling my pride & joy provided I get a reasonable offer which is a highly modified WRX built purposefully for hillclimbing but alternatively would make an ideal rally or trackday car. This car has been gradually modified over four years with extensive modifications this year. The car comes with an MSA Competition Car Log Book.

This car is a 1994 import which was imported 4 years ago with 68,000 miles (or kms equivalent) and has only done a further 2,000 miles in the last four years.

It has been professionally maintained regardless of cost by Mike Dean who races a Gould in the British Hillclimb Championship and in addition it has had work done on it by Richard Bulmer of Tracktive Solutions including remapping with a Hydra ECU. For those of you that don't know, Richard was previously a highly regarded WRC tuner and used to map for TSL in Nottingham.

The car comes with two sets of suspension, two sets of wheels, three sets of tyres, etc, etc.

Frighteningly I have just worked out that the car has had £15,000 of modifications on it during the time I have had it and c£7,500 this year alone. The respray from the original silver to blue & yellow cost £2,000 and is in pearlescent blue & pearlescent yellow.

The specification is as follows

1994 Subaru Impreza WRX in Blue & Yellow with sponsors signwriting - this can easily be removed with a hot air gun.
Stripped out with no rear seats, carpet, air conditioning, etc.
6 point Safety Devices Roll Cage - this is bolted to welded in supports and can be removed if required (new 2004).
Safety Devices MSA approved Roll cage padding.
GAB Gymkhana adjustable suspension - 4 way front & 8 way rear adjustable.
Heavy Duty springs.
Spare set of WRX struts & springs.
Whiteline anti lift kit.
Whitleline 22mm front anti roll bar.
Whitleline 22mm adjustable rear anti roll bar.

AP Organic 2 piece clutch and release bearing (new March 2006).
Tracktive Lightened flywheel (new March 2006).
Prodrive rear plated LSD (new 2005) - this is a very expensive mod and is really only of use on hillclimbs where it improves handling considerably. Because of the nature of a plated diff and the plates heating up, it is probably too stiff for everyday use - you get the usual hopping/skipping/clicking of the wheels on 90 degress turns.
Spare OEM WRX rear diff.
Atmo Blow Off Valve (new 2006).
Stainless steel header tank (new 2005).
Stainless steel radiator slam panel (new 2005).

Set of Toyo TR1's 205/16 (new 2005).
Spare rear drive shafts x 2 (one new and one vgc).
OEM cat down pipe (new 2005).
Spare drop links.
Blue Subaru waterproof seat covers.

I am sure that there are many other items and will have to come up with an exhaustive list for anyone interested.

The car is in excellent condition and is fully undersealed with no rust. It is fully serviced twice a year, had its last service in March with oil, plugs, etc, all changed together will a full lazer alignment on the wheels & tracking.

I have attached a photo from last year but since then the visual changes that have occured are high level scoop (black in photo now yellow), high lever Prodrive spoiler added (yellow), fog light covers (black in photo now yellow), etc. Wheels shown are the 7.5" x 16" needed for the Avon slicks.

This car has not been involved in any accidents and has been totally reliable and has not let me down once in four years of ownership. The only fault, if that is what you can call it, is a metallic vibration noise from the front near side of the car which has been present since I bought it and is probably a loose heat shield, drive shaft or the abs ring. I have never looked into it as it has not given any problems and only occurs when throttling off and is louder than it perhaps otherwise would be due to no carpet or sound deadening.

The car has been mapped for torque and is very quick presently running 1.3-1.4 bar but can be remapped with launch control and anti-lag (300bhp+).

The car is in Guernsey, Channel Islands and I will arrange for it to be put on the ferry and delivered to Portsmouth at no cost or can probably deliver anywhere in the country by trailer at a cost. The car will come with a vehicle registration document, export document, VAT paid document (I will pay the VAT which is payable as it will be imported into the UK) and purchase document. The car does not have an MOT (as we do not have these in the Channel Islands). It should however sail through this other than emissions where you will need to replace the de-cat downpipe with the OEM downpipe with the restrictive cat in it (as supplied and included within the spare parts) and it will need a few other inexpensive items, e.g. fuel neck restrictor, rear fog light, etc. The KMH to MPH and derestriction was done when I imported it from Japan.

This car has been cherished and lives in a garage with dust cover and is owned dare I say by a middle aged man (me) of 45 years young and not a boy racer !
