Estimated Price: £20,000 - £25,000
- Introduced at the 2001 Frankfurt Show, the STI is powered by a 265bhp 2.0-litre flat-four engine; a 2003 facelift introduced revised suspension and a few engine tweaks
- The WRX STi 'Type UK' is the officially imported, United Kingdom-specific version of Subaru's high-performance rally-bred flagship. Unlike Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) imports, these cars were built for European roads and originally sold through official Subaru UK dealerships
- So, this 2003 example was very well specified to begin with, but has been developed further by a series of dedicated (older) enthusiast-owners, who have properly invested in it, now offering staggering and reliable performance
- Back in 2007, the engine was taken to 2.35-litres (Wiseco 97.5mm stroker piston kit) and fully rebuilt by Subaru specialists Zen Performance of Cambridgeshire at a cost of £12,700 (full details in the file)
- Further developments included an ECU set up by Litchfield, an APS 3.5-inch race exhaust, AP 6-pot callipers and discs, EXE-TC Competition Suspension units, Exedy twin-plate clutch, Whiteline Performance roll bars, 4-point harnesses, HID headlights, and carbon rally-spec wing mirrors; it was fitted with a Litchfield twin-scroll VF37 turbo and a fresh cambelt at 37,766 miles
- This engineering work evolved further, with recent work (over the last 3 years) undertaken by Autorara of Derbyshire who did an £18,000+ engine-out rebuild to replicate/refresh its earlier enhanced spec, being properly rolling-road set up with a new ECU (£1,600) to produce a dependable 400-430bhp
- Accompanied by a huge history file (fully charting its development and investment), original Subaru book-pack, and original steering wheel/seatbelts
- Having covered just c40,000 miles and benefitting from much exacting mechanical improvement, this is a seriously capable fast-road or track-day machine, in ready-to-go condition
