This is a very rare car being one of the last of the classic shape Impreza STi's, the version 6 and is even harder to find in Blaze Yellow. The car is in stunning condition throughout having had very little, if any paint and has a no - damage history. It has covered 62500 miles from new, which we warrant as it is supplied with BIMTA mileage certificate, and is complete with Japanese service books. An aftermarket Fujitsubu exhaust has been fitted which has a sporty but unobtrusive note and the car has factory option fitted privacy glass, but other than that is standard. The STi seats are as new, the carpets have been protected with a set of Subaru floor matts from new and the Momo air bag steering wheel is perfect. We have just fitted a clutch to the car and it will completed a full service and cam belt change before it is delivered to its first UK owner. A Thatcham Cat 2 immobilisor has been fitted and the car benifits from air conditioning, power steering, electric windows, central locking, anti lock brakes and adjustable steering colomn. These STi 6's are the last of a breed before the later, much heavier GDB Imprezas were built.

Subaru Impreza STi....... STi Versions of the Impreza produced by Subaru Technica International in Japan were immensely successful in rallies and popular among street racers. The first STi models featured higher power ratings than the WRX, while later versions of both WRX and STi were rated at 280PS due to the Japanese manufacturers' informal agreements around power ratings. The first STi was known simply as "STi". An unknown quantity were manufactured from February of 1994. In March, production was stabilized to 100 STis a month. It had 250 PS @6500 rpm and weighed 1230 kg Before the STi, the highest trim line of the Impreza was the WRX and the WRX RA, first manufactured in November of 1992. This first version of the STi was the only version where the standard cars were taken at the end of the assembly line and replaced by STi parts. After this version, the standard STi was built alongside the WRX on the production lines. The Version II was produced between 09/95 08/96 - GC8C.The STi's engine output stood at 275 PS . This was the year that STi started painting the intake manifold red. The car weighed 1240 kg ) and had gold rims like the one on the World Rally Championship Impreza. The V-limited STi edition was produced. It was a limited edition used to celebrate a Driver title award to Subaru's World Rally Team. The interior is colored blue on the seat inserts and carpeting. The WRX Type RA STi received a radio and air-conditioning in the V-limited form. 1000 WRX STi Version 2 V-limited were produced. 555 (the cigarette brand that was the premier sponsor of the Subaru World Rally Team and became synonymous with the Impreza WRC livery) WRX Type RA STi Version 2 V-limited were produced. For the Version III (09/96 08/97) - GC8DThe engine was vastly updated and was given the name Boxer Master 4. It developed the then-established gentlemen's agreement power limit of 276 hp. Standard,this version has a top speed of over 300km. The car gained 10 more kilograms and weighed at 1250 kg . The STi shared the same face lift that the rest of the Impreza line received. With Version III came the start of the coupe version of the WRX STi. This car was to be the new basis for rally races. It is called the WRX Type R STi. The coupe was chosen by Prodrive because it was smaller, lighter and stiffer than the 4 door version. It was essentially a 2 door version of the WRX Type RA STi meaning it had little sound-insulating material, close-gear ratios and the gearbox was hardened. This car also has a water-spray nozzle to dampen the top of the intercooler. This car was produced on an order-only basis. Also there was WRX STI type RA (4 door) available in Version 3, they have the same motor, gearbox and r160 diff as the Version 3 WRX STI Type R. Aluminium bonnet and front guards, no sound deadening and thinner glass. Also available was a WRX Type R V-limited, in version 3. It has a WRX motor - no forged internals like the STI, and it misses out on the 4 pot front brakes (as these parts are removed and replaced in a rally fit out) but it has a roof vent and is lightweight. It is a good base for a rally car. Power was rated the same at 276 hp, for theVersion IV (09/97 08/98) - but torque was increased to 36.0 kgfm (353 Nm).Again, like the Version II, there were 555 WRX Type RA STi Version 4 V-limited cars produced. The WRX Type R STi Version 4 V-limited was produced on an orders-only basis with a 3 month waiting period. For Version V (09/98-08/99) - The power (officially) stayed the same as the previous version. The engine layout and design was made cleaner and was dubbed as the Boxer Phase 2 engine. The facelift the rest of the Impreza line had been applied to the STis as well. The WRX STi weighed 1270 kg . There were 1000 WRX Type RA STi Version 5 Limited cars . Finally the Version VI (09/99-08/00) - GC8G. Again the power stayed the same. Most of the changes were cosmetic. The wing was sculpted to be more aggressive. There were 2000 WRX STi Version 6 Limited, 1000 WRX Type R Version 6 Limited and 2000 WRX STi RA Version 6 Limited cars produced.
