Description
A genuine enthusiast’s build, imported from the UK to Malta in 2020 and carefully maintained ever since.
The car has been professionally converted to full STI specification, combining genuine OEM STI styling, interior, handling and performance upgrades while retaining a clean, factory inspired appearance.
All original WRX body parts will be included with the car, giving the new owner the option to return it to completely stock specification if desired.
Nothing has been done simply for the sake of modification. Every upgrade has been carefully selected to make the car more enjoyable to drive, while keeping the overall appearance as close to OEM/ STI specification as possible and preserving its long-term value.

No expense has been spared in maintaining and building this car. It is immaculate throughout, including the engine bay, interior and undercarriage.
A properly executed STI-specification build using quality components, with the emphasis on authenticity, drivability and keeping the car as OEM-looking as possible.
I bought this car because it was one of my childhood dream cars. From the moment I owned it, my intention was never simply to have another car I wanted to build something special, enjoy it for years, and eventually keep it until it became a true classic.
Anyone who knows Subaru knows what these cars represent. Subaru’s identity is deeply rooted in rallying, and the WRX/ STI has become an icon because of that heritage. I genuinely believe these cars will become future classics, particularly examples that have been properly maintained, carefully built and preserved.
What makes this car stand out is the amount of care and attention that has gone into it. It has been fully maintained and looked after throughout my ownership, and it remains in immaculate condition inside and out. There are no neglected dents, marks or cosmetic issues anything that needed correcting was taken care of from the very beginning, shortly after I purchased the car and it has been maintained to the same standard ever since.
The build itself was also done with the intention of creating a genuine STI-inspired car rather than simply modifying it for the sake of modification. Quality parts were carefully selected, while keeping the appearance as OEM and authentic as possible. The result is a car that looks right, feels right and has the performance to match.
Unfortunately, due to time and circumstances, I haven't been able to enjoy the car as much as I had hoped. I don't feel it deserves to spend most of its life sitting in my garage, especially when it was built to be driven and appreciated.
It is therefore time for me to pass this special car on to someone who will truly cherish it, enjoy it and appreciate the work, time and passion that has gone into the build.
My favourite thing about this car is knowing that it started as a childhood dream and became something I actually had the opportunity to build and own. I hope the next owner can enjoy it just as much as I always intended to.
