Up for sale is my 2004 Impreza WRX STi. I'm the 4th owner of the car, it has a clear title and no accidents, and it’s also been a Florida car for 98% of its life except when it was in Huntington beach California for about 8 months. Currently the car has 80,000 miles on the odometer. She's a garage queen, but I do take her out occasionally to drive to school or car meets/shows so the mileage will go up slowly. Currently its located in South West Florida.
Car is paid off and title is on hand!

Now - $18,900

Here's some eye candy to enjoy before the yabbering begins:














When I got this car I started working on it to make it the ultimate combination daily driver/tuner car/show car. Despite the list of modifications, it is a docile daily driver that can be taken out rain or shine. Also the custom made front mount intercooler is pressure tested to hold a lot of boost without giving, I've never had an intercooler pipe pop off EVER.

Everything maintenance wise has been taken care of, and the modification list is solid to the point where you can just hop in and go with no issues. The car was also professionally repainted by the old owner and the paint has less than 25,000 miles on it. I also have a massive pile of receipts for the car, and just about everything is accounted for.

Why am I selling it? I just feel like I need a change in life. That and I have graduate school creeping up on me I'm finding less and less time to be able to go to events and meets with the car, and I don't track it so I feel almost as if it is a waste. I knew it was going to have to happen one day (hence previous listings for the car) but I wanted to enjoy it as much as I could and I feel like I have :)

Currently, I'm looking for $18,900. Which may seem like a lot, but I HIGHLY doubt you could pick up a 04 STi with low miles in very clean/mint condition, and then build it for cheaper than that price. I can also throw in the smoked set of tail lights and a MINT scoopless hood from an 04 RS in Aspen White Pearl.

I'm looking for straight cash (or loan), no trades. No paypal. Also no test drives unless you have CASH in hand, but I can give you a ride to show you what it can do. I'm pressed for time at the moment, so I can't drive to meet you, though I can have the car shipped at your expense.

9/27 tuning:
I met up with STiMikey to try to up the boost. But at 29psi on e85 the car was seeing 105% injector duty cycles in 2nd gear so we scrapped the tuning plan. The car will need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to go any further power wise. Also Mikey said the car looks and felt good, timing is conservative (20 degrees up top), and it may be closer to 470awhp than 450awhp

4/12 tuning:
Fuel pressure regulator was installed, system was checked for leaks which were fixed. This 3rd map will be included sets the car at 30psi and a gut-wrenching 500awhp with 550ft-lbs of torque. It features more timing than previous e85 tune. Boost is turned down to around 24psi daily driving.
The fuel pump duty is at its maximum recommended level with the boost at 30psi, any future power increasing modifications will require bigger injectors and/or a secondary fuel pump

one question. you want somebody to pay a lot of money for a highly modified nearly 10 year old car thats been through 4 separate owners(thats a lot of owners for this kind of car) and they are NOT allowed to get behind the wheel before handing over their hard earned cash? i can understand not letting every 18 year old with $12 to his name drive it. but to deny even a serious buyer with cash in hand the ability to test drive a car...LOL thats insane.

as a potential buyer, just reading that part of your ad would have lost my business instantly. i wouldnt have even bothered calling you about it.

clean car anyways though and GLWS man!!!
