vehicle description:

Here for sale is a superb example of the Subaru Impreza WRX PPP Wagon (Prodrive Performance Pack), The Prodrive Performance Pack was a package available on uk Subaru’s that yielded a power increase from 220bhp to 265bhp via a few selected parts (Prodrive Rear Exhaust Box, Uprated ECU increasing boost from 14 to 18/19 psi, Intercooler Y Pipe) I have owned the car for nearly a year but purchased with the view to keeping it for many years which is to a massive advantage of the buyer as I have spent lots of money since owning it getting it back up to scratch mechanically, however sadly a change of job will see my daily mileage increase and although for a Subaru the fuel economy is not too bad it’s sadly just not viable for me to use it for my daily commute.
Engine was fully rebuilt at 105k at a reputable engine specialist at the cost of nearly £3500 (I have the invoice to prove), this rebuild included the following.
Forged Pistons
New Crank
Metal Head Gasket
Turbo Oil Seals (still running standard TD04 turbo)
Since my ownership the following parts and maintenance have been carried out with receipts to prove these parts have covered just 1000 miles, madness!!!
Refurbished Gearbox
New Clutch
Gates Cambelt Kit inc all Idler Pulleys & Tensioner
Camshaft Oil Seals
Main Crank Oil Seal
Waterpump & Thermostat refilled with Comma G30 Xstream Coolant
Oil Pump Service inc Block to Pump O Ring
Cam Cover Gaskets
Oil Cooler Gasket
New Spark Plugs
New Coolant Hoses
Green Cotton Panel Filter (In standard Airbox)
New Intercooler Piping (Prodrive Y Pipe Split)
Meister R ZETA CRD Coilovers
GC8 Front Alloy Control Arms
Powerflex ARB Mounts
Group N Engine, Gearbox, Pitch Stop Mounts
Powerflex Gearbox Crossmember Bushes
Powerflex Diff Mounts
Hardrace Rear Trailing Arms
New De-Cat Up pipe (Standard up pipe had symptoms of cat breakup via an audible rattle, fragments can be ingested into the exhaust side of the turbo if left, this does not make the car louder but does aid faster turbo spool up)
New Manifold Gaskets
Regular Oil & Filter Changes
Motul Gear 300 Oil in Gearbox/ Front Diff & Rear Diff
Bottom Ball Joints
ARB Drop Links Front & Rear
Full Front/Rear Caliper Rebuild (New seals, pistons and professionally painted)

JDM Red Stitched Gearknob & Steering Wheel
I have all service history prioe to my ownership and reciepts during my ownership.
Oil changed every 1500-2000 miles (twice a year) with Millers CFS 5w40
There are lower mileage younger wagons for sale but none that have had this level of meticulous care, you will not find another one in this price range that has had all the problem areas addressed like this car has, the car pulls like a train and is insanely fast, I’ve owned many turbo cars but none that pull relentlessly and hold boost like this one does, on the fip side it drives very smooth when not utilizing all 265bhp, this car is running the standard and correct boost management system, many cars out there run Manual Boost Controllers a big no no on a Subaru!, This car makes the requested Prodrive boost of 18/19 psi and makes the power it should so that alone is credit to the engine being happy, Always ran on Shell V Power Nitro + Fuel.
The car has Boost, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp Guages fitted in a pod on the dash and at normal oil temp (70/80 degrees) the oil pressure reads 22-25 psi at idle as it should be.
These engines on forums are for some reason considered to be normal to have a few oil leaks?! usually from (Oil Pump Flange/ Oil Cooler Gasket/ Rocker Cover Gaskets) in my opinion engines should be sealed up tight, so I have addressed all these issues and the car does not leak or use a drop from anywhere, when you view the car I will invite you to have a look under the car, I would be more than happy to jack it up and enable you to see that the car does not leak a drop of coolant or oil and it is mechanically well sorted, you will be very hard pushed to find this on other WRX"s out there.
Bad Bits…. Well tbh the car is 13 years old, to expect it to have no stone chips or a few subtle dents is asking the impossible, there are a few, but I think you will agree looking at the pictures it still shines well and looks great, I only have one key however replacements can be purchased.
The car is not being used and mileage will not increase while it is up for sale so you have complete confidence that the pictures you see and description here is an absolute true representation of the car you expect to see if you view or buy.
Please feel free to ask any questions you have via text or email or give me a call, Grab a great reliable cared for WRX Wagon that will last the new owner for many years, is even capable of handling a bigger turbo for more power due to the forged engine internals.
Note: Roof bars are not being sold with the car, however can be negotiated if they are wanted.
Anything you would like to know please ask, Message, Call or Text 07764999112
