Seller's Notes

This Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type R Version 4 is a tastefully modified example of the popular rally-bred performance car. It is powered by an ‘EJ20’ 2.0-litre turbocharged flat-four, producing around 180kW, which is sent to all four wheels via a close-ratio five-speed Version 6 manual gearbox, a Driver Controlled Centre Differential, and a mechanical rear limited-slip differential. First registered in Japan, the odometer shows 73,950 km. This Impreza WRX STi Type R Version 4 is finished in Glacier White over a black, red and grey fabric-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 16-inch Rays Volk Racing TE37 alloy wheels, finished in white, and wrapped with Yokohama Advan Neova tyres. Equipment includes front driving lights, the intercooler water sprayer, air conditioning, a three-spoke Momo Competition steering wheel, a Carrozzeria head unit with Bluetooth, an APEXi FC Commander control unit, a Momo 50th anniversary gear knob, and auxiliary instrument dials including an APEXi DIN 3 metre and a GReddy boost gauge. The engine has a forged bottom end, as well as an ARC top mount intercooler, a HPI oil cooler, and a Fujitsubo RM-1 catback exhaust with a SYMS manifold and front pipe. Other changes include a Version 6 Type R gearbox with shorter final drive, a carbon-fibre front strut brace, a Cusco rear strut brace, and Öhlins adjustable suspension. Accompanying the vehicle will be its Japanese-language owner’s manuals and service book, a dynamometer printout, its Japanese export certificate, its Rego documents and a collection of service invoices. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The most recent safety inspection report was issued on 17 June 2024, and is valid until May 2025. The most recent service was completed by Simply Subaroo in November 2023, which included engine oil and filter changes. In December 2022, Simply Subaroo replaced the rear differential, battery, brake pedal pad, clutch pedal pad, rear wiper insert, timing belt kit, water pump, clutch fluid, fuel filter, thermostat and coolant. The upper engine was carbon cleaned. The seller states that the car has comprehensive service history from Japan up until it was exported. This Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type R Version 4 is a lauded two-door performance car, offered with some appealing modifications. This STi would make an exciting year-round daily driver, though equally at home on the road or track, and a fine addition to any collection of Japanese modern classics.
