For Sale is my beautiful WRX STi.
I've poured money and attention into this car, and used only the best components to upgrade an already iconic AWD hero.
The plan was to buy and prepare the Subaru for the 2024 Sprint Season (which I have), but the pending purchase of new business equipment forces a very reluctant sale.

Following all upgrades being ran and tested, with torque settings checked whilst all components were re-inspected, the car was booked in at Scooby Clinic for a mapping session. It’s common knowledge that the EJ257 benefits massively from a quality remap to improve fuelling etc, and I wanted a clean report on the engine’s health from the specialists.
Big figures were not chased as longevity is more important to me. The engine was declared as being very healthy and achieved 353bhp/365ftlb with ease. I’m satisfied this is enough for the car without risking any reliability issues, and it carries speed very very well indeed.
The service history prior to my ownership:
20/02/18 - 2245 miles
19/03/19 - 4488 miles
26/06/20 - 6522 miles
12/06/21 - 8000 miles
11/08/22 - 9411 miles
25/04/23 - 9714 miles
*JULY 2023 – 10,100 miles*
The cost of upgrades alone (no labour charges included) stands me at £9914 with a plethora of invoices to view. All upgrades were documented/images taken throughout the journey.
I have all OEM/original parts carefully boxed and stored for the new owner.
Please only enquire if you are seriously considering to buy. I'm willing to demonstrate the cars ability, but won't tolerate test-pilots.
Unfortunately due to how busy we are with work commitments I can only spend time with a genuine buyer.
Any AA/RAC/Specialist inspection is welcome, you won't find anything incorrect with the car.
It's cost me in excess of £40k to get the car to this point, and that doesn't include any labour for the substantial time taken installing the upgrades.
