Kendo247 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Subaru Impreza version 2 sti for saleA friend of mine brought this to use as a sprint/track day car but unfortunately has lost a bit of interest in it due to possible head gasket problem,I have been in this car and it drives superb and is as fast as my blob sti but when driven hard and on full boost it blows air bubbles into the coolant expansion tank,but other than that this car drives excellent with no knocks or bangs He has spent over £4k on it so far including the purchase price and is reluctant to spend any more unfortunately so is willing to take a considerable loss to sell itIn his ownership it has had The following....Maf sensor replacedNew oil sump(it had an oil leak when purchased)Rear crank oil seal replaced(this was the oil leak not the sump)New pink exedy stage 1 organic clutch BC coil oversOil catch tankGodspeed discs/pads all round and re-furbished calipers with fitting kitNew wheels with Toyo T1-R tyres all roundLamco gauges in podStainless exhaustNewly fitted sigma alarmSti strut braceGenuine STI rear lights ( had horrible lexus ones on when brought )It has a current MOT ( not sure how much )There are probably other things that I have forgotten but when I speak to him I will update the threadThis could be a great project for someone As I said he is open to sensible offers but if none come he will be considering breaking it and personally I think it would be a shame as these are becoming rare nowAny questions just askThanks ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 For the sake of a sniff test and compression test. Why doesn't he do that before deciding on the sale price ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_SCR_RA Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Nip it up to SCR and we can do you a sniff test and leak down if required, give you a definitive answer on whats gone, may also be interested to buy in as a breaker/project to rework and resell.

Kendo247 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Just spoke to Paul who owns the car,it has MOT till August,approximately 98k miles and the engine was allegedly rebuilt by API at some stage but he has no paperwork to back this up although there is an API branded intercooler hose fitted ( I know this doesn't mean anything but thought I'd mention it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
