This Subaru Impreza WRX tuned by STi is a rare and exciting limited-edition modern classic Japanese rally-inspired performance sedan, which has been enhanced with several discerning upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.5-litre ‘EJ25’ flat-four, now delivering up to 213kW to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This original Australian-market model was first registered in January 2007 and has been with the seller for four years. This Impreza WRX tuned by STi is number 145 of just 200 examples produced. The odometer indicates 92,970 miles, though this is not warranted, and the seller believes that the true mileage is around 193,000 kilometres. The gauge has been upgraded to a genuine STi UK cluster. The Impreza WRX ‘tuned by STi’ is understood to have been an Australian delivered limited-edition variant of the iconic Japanese sports sedan, which was equipped with options found previously only on japanese domestic variants, and acted as a ‘mid-range’ model marketed above the standard WRX and below the WRX STi. The ‘tuned by STI’ models were notable for being enhanced with several unique factory features, including a sunroof, a short shifter, full STI Spec-C suspension package including shock absorbers, lowering springs, control arms, sway bars, lateral arms and links, front lip, and forged Enkei alloy wheels, as well as an STI R180 rear differential. This example is finished in the stylish shade of Obsidian Black Pearl, over a black cloth and synthetic suede-trimmed interior, featuring black leather door card inserts, and satin metallic grey trim. It rides on a set of 18-inch STi multi-spoke alloy wheels finished in gold, framing red Subaru-branded brake callipers, and fitted with Continental PremiumContact 6 tyres. Equipment includes xenon headlights, a top-tinted windscreen, cruise control, blue STI dials, automatic air conditioning, and electrically operated windows and door mirrors. This example has been fitted with a brand newVF34 turbocharger, an Xtreme heavy-duty clutch, a Hyperflow intercooler, a Walbro 255 fuel pump, an Invidia turbo-back exhaust system, a GFB blow-off valve, a GrimSpeed air/oil separator, a Sony double-DIN media system, and a COBB gear knob. The car comes with a space-saver spare wheel, tools, a dyno printout, a maintenance invoice, and various invoices for upgrade and replacement parts. One ignition key is included. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The last documented maintenance was in October 2021 at an indicated 159,391 km by MRT Performance, which consisted of new turbo inlet and outlet gaskets being fitted, a new fuel pump fitted, the GFB blow-off valve fitted, the turbo-back exhaust system installed, an EcuTek ECU software upgrade and dyno tune, an engine oil and filter change, a new air conditioning drive belt, and a new oxygen sensor being installed. This Subaru Impreza WRX ‘tuned by STi’ is a rare and engaging modern classic Japanese performance sedan, which has been enhanced with several discerning upgrades. Number 145 of just 200 examples produced, with desirable factory upgrades, and boasting a timeless colour scheme alongside a potent turbocharged 2.5-litre flat-four engine, it would make a notable addition to any marque enthusiast’s collection, and a very capable companion for rapid daily driving, weekend fun, and car show visits alike.
