Fifty Three Automotive is incredibly proud to offer this simply stunning 2006 JDM twin-scroll Impreza WRX STi.

A truly immaculate low-mileage example with full UK and Japanese service history, including documented cambelt replacement, a large history file and even an indoor car cover. Still displaying kilometres and never converted, this cherished family-owned car has been carefully maintained over the past 7 years and used only in dry weather conditions.

An exceptionally rare opportunity to own a fully original, unmolested example that has never been heavily modified, retaining all the character and purity that makes these JDM STis so desirable. Tasteful upgrades include a stainless steel Hayward & Scott exhaust system, rare lightweight 18” OZ Superleggera alloy wheels finished in Hyper Silver, and Tein coilover suspension.

Unlike the UK-market Type UK models, the Japanese domestic market twin-scroll STi benefits from a far more focused and motorsport-inspired specification from factory. The JDM cars feature the highly sought-after twin-scroll turbocharged EJ207 engine, widely regarded by enthusiasts as the strongest and most responsive version of the legendary Subaru flat-four. Featuring forged internals, AVCS variable valve timing, higher rev limit and a more aggressive factory tune, the EJ207 delivers a noticeably sharper, faster-revving and more exciting driving experience compared to the softer UK-spec EJ255-powered cars.

The twin-scroll setup also provides significantly improved turbo response and mid-range performance, giving the car the razor-sharp throttle response and urgency that made the Japanese STi models so revered. Combined with Subaru’s DCCD driver-controlled centre differential, close-ratio gearbox and lighter overall kerb weight, the JDM cars feel considerably more focused, raw and engaging to drive.

Japanese-market STis also benefited from higher factory specification and detail improvements over UK cars, including upgraded interior trim, improved driver instrumentation, different gearing, quicker steering feel and various lightweight components depending on model year. Many enthusiasts consider the JDM Hawkeye STi to be the pinnacle of the classic analogue Subaru era before later cars became heavier and more refined.

As a result, genuine low-mileage, rust-free and unmodified JDM examples have become increasingly difficult to source and are now commanding significantly stronger values than equivalent UK cars. Collectors and enthusiasts actively seek out original twin-scroll EJ207 vehicles due to their rarity, driving experience and investment potential, particularly examples with documented history and long-term ownership such as this.

Supplied with 2 keys, Toad alarm and immobiliser, original book packs and fully HPI clear.
