Hey Guys, selling the wife's car this time around! Rego YEV-34R, 68,000 KM's, 5 Speed Man.

2007 Subaru Impreza R 2.0

This was my wife’s car and was one of last vehicles made of this particular model before Subaru switched to the more inferior and cheaper ‘Hatchback’ model. Unlike the Impreza i version, the Impreza R has the more powerful DOHC 118Kw 2.0L engine. The Impreza R also has the better suspension and larger brake packages (close to that of the WRX) which makes for a much more comfortable, fun and safer drive. It also has the 16 Inch alloy wheels and the Kenwood factory audio system (only available in the later models) which includes a factory Subwoofer, front 2 way splits and iPod connectivity. It also has the usual extras like cruise control, A/C and power windows/mirrors.

Car Details:

1 female owner since new, always garaged and regularly serviced and maintained. It has always been run on 98ron fuel and will get 500km’s per tank in the city and much much more on the highway. It is mechanically in A1 condition and was serviced a couple of weeks ago. It runs like new and everything is in perfect working order with no problems what so ever. A 2 1/4 inch cat-back exhaust has been fitted for better fuel economy, better looks and for a quite yet sporty exhaust note (not your typical blaring WRX sound). The tyres are all in good condition. The car is extremely reliable and won’t disappoint.

$19,500 ONO.

A roadworthy certificate will be supplied with the car upon its sale (certificate will be attained when a deposit is taken to ensure it doesn’t expire). Any inspections/test drives welcome. No swaps or low ball offers please. Selling for financial reasons…

Getting back on topic...

$18,500.

I've been driving this car the past couple of months and I actually like it! No I'm not getting soft in my old age! Its pretty much a WRX without a turbo and higher springs. That's it! A great little car around town...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
