FS: 1997 RHD VerIII STi (orginal)

Hi Folks

Its been a very very very long time since i've been on this forum and is very unfortunet that it is time for me to release my most precious thing of my life. Due to my plans to move some where els for work, it will not be convinent for me to own this car any longer since i have such lack of time to enjoy and appreciate it. So now i wish to look for a candidates who can to take over and treat this babee as good as i have. tearsssss!!

The car had been parked at NHR under a cover since last Nov 2005 and was started up a couple of times. For some of u that have known me for years u would know how i take care of it to the max. The current status is the engine head was rebuild and retrofitted with the new 2.5 STi bottom and finally tunned by NHR from scratch with a APEXi POWER FC and on board commander. Due to humid weather of tunning day we kept it at a safe power of 260 whps but is capable of 300 whps. Ever since the engine mod i only had on less then 8000km on it and was never tracked or pushed over 6000rpm as well.

If anyone would like to view the car in person please contact Jason Villa @ NHR. No drop in visitor will be allowed to remove cover from vehicle. Also there will be no joy ridding so only SERIOUS POTENTIAL buyer will get to test drive under my supervision.

Vehicle is fully road legal register and insured as a normal vehicle.

Firm Price $22,000 CAD

crap .. i hope it goes to a great owner. it is definately a beautiful subey

Mr.JDM = Carl....LOL!

or old name Carl_STi

This thing it's a beaut. Too bad you have to let it go Carl

This car made me build my GC. It better go to a good home.

Unfortunetly this is not the case

Just like many others from the past where they had to sell they're belove scooby to move foward in their life. Is one of the hardest decision ever but i know is what best for my self. Now i hope someone can continue the legacy and not end up to someone that will wrap it around a light pole on the street.

But thanks to all for the kind words and i hope u can reach a dream with ur scooby just like i had.

I think thats a vaild question on importing...

Id love to know how he went about importing a RHD car... If I had the money I would buy his... RHD would be a dream for me. However I dont, but in the future I can see myself importing a car thats RHD and info on how to do it would be cool.

Sorry about threadjack on that though.

Again sweet ride I wish I could afford to buy it.

its not the fact that is RHD that makes illegal or hard to import. RHD is perfectly legal on canadian streets.

im just wondering how he imported a less than 15 year old car into canada from japan legally. sounds like some loop hole work was done to get this in.

and the skylines you see on the road are 15+ years old!
