This Subaru Impreza WRX Type R STi Version IV is a desirable and very capable rally-inspired modern classic Japanese performance hero, which is reported to be in highly original condition. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre ‘EJ20’ flat-four, delivering around 206kW to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was first registered in May 1998, and was imported and first registered in Australia in March 2024. The odometer shows 110,078 Kms from new. This example is finished in the ever-popular shade of Pure White, over a black cloth and grey synthetic suede-trimmed interior, featuring contrasting red stitching, red cloth front seat sections, embroidered ‘STi’ lettering on the front seat backs, and dark brushed metal-effect trim. It rides on an aftermarket set of 17-inch O.Z Racing multi-spoke alloy wheels finished in satin-gold, which are fitted with Pirelli P Zero Nero tyres. Equipment includes a rear screen wiper, a Momo steering wheel, white dials, automatic air conditioning, a Driver’s Control Centre Differential, electrically adjustable folding door mirrors, and an intercooler water sprayer. This example has been fitted with a Pioneer Carrozzeria CD stereo, a Pivot steering column-mounted boost gauge, a Blitz dual turbo timer, and the previously mentioned O.Z. Racing alloy wheels. The car comes with the original Japanese owner’s manual and service booklet, and two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted on 21 March 2024, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This Impreza’s most recent maintenance was carried out in March 2024 at 109,690 Kms by Motormec Pty Ltd, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change. The seller reports that the cambelt was replaced at 100,253 Kms. Other notable maintenance includes a new timing belt, water pump and thermostat being fitted.
