DESCRIPTION

First registered in 1998, this 1999 model year, WRX STi Version V (5) was imported in 2000 and purchased by its current owner in 2021 with the intention of carrying out a full restoration
Powered by a rebuilt, fully-forged, EJ207 with STi internals, upgraded bearings, gaskets, fuel system, a VF28 turbo and a SYVECS S6 ECU with wideband sensor mapped to 323bhp by ScoobyClinic
Other upgrades include a high-performance radiator, oil cooler upgrades, Samco hoses, heat-wrapped exhaust and Blitz Nur Spec 3" system, Brembo brakes, LED lighting upgrades, full WHITELINE set-up including adjustable anti-roll bars, anti-lift kit, STi struts, and top mounts
Fully resprayed in its original Black Mica Pearl with new OEM STI stickers and badges, it was then ceramic coated. Sitting on 18" ROTA wheels. Smart interior with JDM gauges, STi trim, upgraded stereo and Clifford alarm
