ST Hi-Tec Built Forged Subaru WRX ? STI 6 Speed ? Fresh WOF
NZ-new 2003 Subaru WRX, professionally built and assembled by ST Hi-Tec approximately 14,000 km ago. I?ve owned the car for almost 3 years, during which it?s been extremely reliable and well maintained. Only selling as I?ll be travelling a lot this year and the car doesn?t get the use it deserves.
The car drives strong, pulls hard, and is a very sorted setup ? not a slapped-together build.
