2003 Subaru Impreza 2nd Gen Blobeye

A rare rally-inspired performance hero, reported to be in unmodified condition. It is powered by the turbocharged ‘EJ20’ 2.0-litre flat-four, delivering around 280bhp to all four wheels through a six-speed close-ratio manual gearbox. The car has been driven sparingly since its last major service performed at 232,233 kilometres. Based on a Spec C Competition STi, the RA features thinner glass, a lighter subframe, an aluminium boot lid and bonnet, a rally-style fresh air hatch in the roof, and an intercooler water spray kit. The model was available in Red, WR Blue Mica, or Pure White, as seen on this example. The cabin is trimmed in black and blue synthetic suede, offset by red ‘STI’ branding embroidered on the front seat backrests. It rides on a set of gold 17-inch BBS alloy wheels, housing gold Brembo callipers and wrapped in Yokohama tyres. The specification also includes air conditioning and a Kenwood stereo. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s manual and Japanese service book. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: some faded paintwork on the roof, bonnet, and boot. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults. A major service was carried out at 232,233 kilometres. The WRX STI Spec-C Type RA combined Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system with a host of performance-enhancing and weight-saving measures to create one of the most exciting Impreza variants. Driven and enjoyed, but believed by the seller to be in unmodified condition; this rare model is sure to appeal to any marque enthusiast, and promises to deliver a memorable driving experience on the road or track.
