SUBARU IMPREZA S204 , Number 273 of 600 made. Fresh Import, Grade 4 , 2 keys , Full Service history in OEM Factory standard form, Finished in factory WRC World Rally Blue
Subaru Technica International STI, Subarus high performance tuner, announced the release of the S204 back in 2006. The S204 edition of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi only produced 600 units.
The S204 is the answer to enthusiasts' desires for a sporty, performance Saloon under the Subaru name. Handling was always the main selling point for this version of the WRX STI , but in addition to better handling there was more power. This power is produced by a large sized twin scroll ball bearing turbo and Titanium Exhaust System. The 2.0l turbocharged motor was specially tuned to reach the engines full torque capabilities.
Improved chassis performance and feel through the installation of specially designed Recaro Carbon high rigidity leather seats , pillow-ball rear suspension links, and think diameter rear stabilizer bar. In addition, the S204 has the rare, BBS aluminium, lightweight, forged 18 x 8.5 rims.
The vehicle's exterior features a carbon front underskirt and skirt lip for improved aerodynamic efficiency. The rear has a unique spoiler that is more efficient than the standard STI wing.
The S204 was designed to compete with other upper-class sports cars from countries around the world. As a “pure sport sedan” its underlying philosophy is efficiency. Its preceding model, the S203 received high approval ratings from enthusiasts around the globe, but Subaru made further refinements to appeal even more to its loyal performance enthusiasts. The S204 was repeatedly tested on courses in Germany and England where the roads are very fast and winding. The suspension of the S204 was designed to perform exceptionally well on all road surfaces.
CHASSIS
The S204 Impreza vehicles give the driver the ability to feel the road, as if in constant communication with the car and road.
Yamaha and STi worked together to develop a performance pink s204 damper that improves handling immediately from the moment a driver turns in, through the turn, and at their exit.
Also the spring rate was strengthened by 50%. The inverted struts are more responsive while maintaining ride quality. The rear sway bar's diameter has been increased to provide increased resistance to body roll. The rear suspension links utilize pillow ball joints to compliment the rear sway bar. This car is complimented with a full brand new set on Dunlop Sport Tyres fitted to its unique 18 inch BBS Alloys.
POWER PLANT
The 2.0 Super strong and proven STI engine uses a twin scroll turbo design like its predecessor, the S203. The turbo diameter in the S204 has been enlarged, and the turbine blade configuration was altered for smoother acceleration.
The engine itself was not radically altered, but rather smaller, more precise alterations were made. The internal weight balance of the engine was adjusted and peak torque was also increased on the S204.
The Titanium exhaust system features a low back pressure . Also installed is a high flow catalytic converter. These two devices are very lightweight. The ECU on the S204 was also specially tuned to control boost, producing the optimum amount of power.
INTERIOR
The whole interior was designed with the idea of driving being the highest priority. The overall colour scheme is black . The speedometer maxes out at 260 KPH. In addition, to keep the cabin noise levels low, special matting was used in the floor carpeting.
The lightweight Recaro bucket seats were developed in Germany and feature a two piece design. This allows the driver and passenger to still be able to recline the seats to a desired position. Inspired by WRC rally seats, the carbon design is rigid, but will not fatigue the body even on long road trips. The surface features a special padding that is both comfortable and supportive. Synthetic leather is used on the sides, to add a touch of class.
AERO DYNAMICS
The team at STI spent hours upon hours in the wind tunnel designing the best aerodynamic upgrades for the S204. The carbon front underskirt generates increased down force on the front end of the car, improving high speed stability.
The rear spoiler was a new design never before used on previous Imprezas back in 2006. It is mounted lower and closer to the rear of the trunk. This provided increased down force on the rear of the car, assisting with traction at rear wheels.
CONCLUSION
Not only has the S204 become a real collectors car and rises in value, Its an out and out drivers car with a complete package both on and off the road.
