For sale is my much loved 1997 SubaruIMPREZA sport 2.0l with 110,600 Miles on the clock, it’s a very reliable car and very well looked after no expense spared!
I got this car from a Subaru dealer who was selling it privately in Dulverton, before I got the car he said the timing belt was changed at around 65,000 miles and the car has a pretty good service log from main dealers.
I have owned this car for just over a year and have done a lot of preventative maintenance to it in that time to keep it driving and feeling how it should!
Within the first month of owning the car I jacked it up and removed the exhaust, heat shields, etc and cleaned the underside then wax-oiled it, there was no welding needed, this car is really good condition on the underside, but being the fussy bugger that I am, all small rust spots have been ground back and then treated with rust killer.
On the first service I replaced both drive belts (Alternator and A/C), fuel filter, spark plugs, antifreeze, all oils, air filter and I also did a compression test on the engine just for piece of mind and to get an insight into the history of the engine.
Since I have owned the car I have given the Engine/Gearbox/Diff regular oil changes every 6 months with very high quality oils, no expense spared. The first service I did on the engine when I got it I really went to town, I used a product called engine flush to remove all sludge from the internals and then once the oil was drained I also removed the sump and cleaned it out by hand to remove every little bit of sludge! When the sump was reinstalled I used a new cork gasket and also replaced the standard oil bung with an aftermarket one with a magnet to attract any metal swarf.
After completing the work above the engine oil now stays clear for around 4-5 months after a service then starts to go a little gray. Every service since I have also used engine flush for this reason!
One upgrade I did was replacing the front brakes for the STI type 4 pot calipers, to do this upgrade I needed to get bigger wheels to accommodate the bigger disks and calipers so I got some gold STI 16” wheels which suit the car great, with a new set of tyres, still loads of tread all around!
When I did this upgrade the calipers were brand new and I painted them red with the white “WRX PRO” lettering, while replacing the front calipers I took this opportunity to completely drain the brake fluid out of the system and replace the flexible brake lines on the front and rear of the car for HEL performance brake lines then refilled the system with a performance brake fluid called super DOT 4.
Recently I have changed the front near side drive shaft and wheel bearing, I did buy them as a pair so I also have a spare front drive shaft and wheel bearing included in the sale.
Spares included in the sale:
New front drive shaft
New front wheel bearing
Old single pot calipers, smaller disks, original flexible brake lines
Original 15” wheels with tyres (Alloys are in great condition, tyres are average condition)
Side skirts and rear bumper spats (great condition)
This car has never let me down and I have always had lots of fun driving it, going from a Corsa “c” to this car was possibly the best move I have ever done! The AWD system is said to be one of the best in the world combined with the flat 4 Engine that lowers the center of gravity meaning it really grips in the corners. You might be surprised when I say it was actually more economical than my little 998cc Corsa “c” too! Mostly because I had to thrash the living day light out of it to get up these hills in Pembrokeshire where as with theSubaru’s torque and AWD system it just cruises up them no bother!
I am truly gutted to see it go but due to work commitments I have to move away and I have nowhere to keep her when I’m gone.
Forgot to mention that everything in the car works, as it should. The interior is all standard and really good condition
I have just had this car professionally valeted inside and out which cost me £145.00, I will also include a full tank of fuel £45.00
!!!BAD POINTS!!!
Small rust blisters just started to appear where the boot lid sits
I cut two very small holes in the front bumper for spotlight mounts (Easily filled/repaired)
Front bumper has a few small scuffs on the corners from previous owners
I think one of the rear shocks is on the way out (slight knocking occasionally, still drives great and you barely notice it)
Note:
This car was destined to be a road rally car, hens the front mounting for spot lights. As an extra I can also include pretty much everything you will need to complete this as a road rally car, all the stuff I have bought is quality and cost me a lot, the only thing I have not got is a roll cage, everything els I have! And most of the stuff has already been modified to suit the car, so will just bolt on!
