A bit different - 300hp Subaru Impreza - Cambs - £2100ono
This impreza is a little bit different to your usual stickered up, rally rep. Its an absolutely awesome car but I'm REALLY missing the retro stuff and I just got myself a nissan cedric estate and what can I say I'm in love so no more swap or px offers! cash only please sensible offers accepted it needs to go!
MOT - December 2010
TAX - December 2010
History - Loads and loads, fully stamped, loads of receipts, every MOT certificate up to the current one. All original booklets etc.
Spec :
The Car is a turbo 2000 wagon but has complete import WRX running gear including the engine, which was rebuilt in 2007, I have the rebuild certificate and information that will go with the car. It is a desirable spec car having the full leather interior giving a more classy and quality look and finish compared to the usual garish coloured buckets, fantastic working aircon, power steering, 4 electric windows, electric adjustable headlamps, fog lights etc etc. It is a lovely car.
Engine :
The engine is fantastic and runs great, no smoke, good compression no problems to report there. It has a slight tapping at idle as I did the valve clearance recently as they was too tight. They are completely in spec now and all the tolerances are now correct but for some reason has resulted in a very slight tapping but doesn't affect the engine in anyway and I have been told it is completely normal for the larger valve heads this has on it, by a couple of scooby nuts. Larger TD05 turbo, STi intercooler, wrapped tubular headers, 3" wide mouth downpipe fully wrapped, de-catted centre section and pro drive backbox. I will include the downpipe with cat and the catted centre section so you can put them on for MOTs. It has an awesome sound doesn't sound like your usual scoob, it has a more raspy "tweaked" note to it that gives away that its been played with. ESL daughter board, runs 1.1 bar, ported throttle body, green cotton panel filter. Recently serviced new fluids, filters etc so runs lovely, boosts and pulls hard. It is a near as damnit 300bhp and goes like hell it really is an awesome engine
Running gear :
Everything here is fine no problems to report, silent gearbox, no whines knocks etc from any of the suspension or running gear, lowering springs obviously to get it to the height it is now, on standard shocks, rides and goes round corners very well. I have done quite a lot of work to get the wheels to sit nicely and not scrape or rub. Brakes are new mintex pads and discs on the front.
Wheels :
18"x8" BBS LM replica's not sure of the exact make but they are a fantastic replica and look great, they have 215/40/18 tyres to give a nice little bit of stretch but not too much. D1 spec alloy wheel nuts "tuner" style using an allen key type tool for removing them. Tyres are all pretty much near new with loads of tread 5-6mm.
Misc :
Good high quality gReddy electronic boost gauge for maximum acuracy, interior is all in great condition, nice black leather, aircon works great nice and cold. Polished rear strut brace with STi pink end mouting plates. Body is all in great condition, has a few little "dings" shall we call them in a couple of places as J metal is quite thin but nothing to cause any bother and you will only see them if you go looking for them.
Security :
Remote central locking from the Cat 1 total closure thatcham approved alarm & imobiliser with instalation certifcate, owners manual etc etc
The car is located in March Cambridgeshire PE15, part exchangers or swappers will either need to come to me or I will meet half way for the right deal I'm not willing to drive all the way to you when your 300 miles away!
Any questions or possible deals text me or call me on 07540765075. (may not answer calls during week days as I'm at work)
Looking for £2100ono Cash only, no swaps or PXs as ive got my perfect car now. Sensible offers accepted just try me!

cant believe its still for sale tbh, as i said, looks lovely on those rims, and is a lot of car for the money.
you might want to say what type of ford you be interested in mate, then people will have a better idea if you would be interested in what they have.

So your in March!
Where abouts? I live in March and can't say if I have seen it about
I used to have a black WRX saloon and loved it, but petrol prices made me sell it 
Must admit the wheels do look pretty tasty on it!
Good luck with the sale though
