2007 Subaru Impreza R 2.0 Rego: YEV-34R. 68,000 KM's. 5 Speed Manual. Location: Canberra.

This was my wifes car and was one of last vehicles made of this particular model before Subaru switched to the more inferior and cheaper Hatchback model. Unlike the Impreza i version, the Impreza R has the more powerful DOHC 118Kw 2.0L engine. The Impreza R also has the better suspension and larger brake packages (close to that of the WRX) which makes for a much more comfortable, fun and safer drive. It also has the 16 Inch alloy wheels and the Kenwood factory audio system (only available in the later models) which includes a factory Subwoofer, front 2 way splits and iPod connectivity. It also has the usual extras like cruise control, A/C and power windows/mirrors.

Car Details:

1 female owner since new, always garaged and regularly serviced and maintained. It has always been run on 98ron fuel and will get 500kms per tank in the city and much much more on the highway. It is mechanically in A1 condition and was serviced a couple of weeks ago. It runs like new and everything is in perfect working order with no problems what so ever. A 2 1/4 inch cat-back exhaust has been fitted for better fuel economy, better looks and for a quite yet sporty exhaust note (not your typical blaring WRX sound). The tyres are all in good condition. The car is extremely reliable and wont disappoint.

$19,500 ONO.

A roadworthy certificate will be supplied with the car upon its sale (certificate will be attained when a deposit is taken to ensure it doesnt expire). Any inspections/test drives welcome. No swaps or low ball offers please. Selling for financial reasons...

Contact Luke on 0438 481 354 or PM. Cheers...

$18,500.

I've been driving this car the past couple of months and I actually like it! No I'm not getting soft in my old age! Its pretty much a WRX without a turbo and higher springs. That's it! A great little car around town...

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
