Importing a 2006 Impreza Hawk STI
Discussion
Well, after much deliberation I have pulled the trigger to import one of these beauties from Japan yesterday via Ryan at Club Japan Imports. I’ll post some pictures up over the next few days and am already counting down to arrival in late July or early August.
It’s an 06 in grey with 73k on the clock, grade 3.5.
My JDM Impreza WRX Auto will be going up for sale on Sunday.

Lovely! I was tempted to do that myself but couldn’t wait the 3 months! Ended up sourcing a local 06 STI in Black with just under 80k. UK 2.5 but forged and mapped by Duncan to 340 so I’m very happy! Only had it 2 weeks and now I’m on holiday itching to get back and drive it. You have much planned for it?
The wait.......it seems to take forever.....but eventually it's well worth it! I'm currently in the same situation but hopefully able to finally drive my Spec C next week after it arriving early May (had full service work incl belts, mapping and then a few DVLA set backs!)
A word of advice, if you don't plan to use it through winter so much it may be worth getting the underbody washed and clear sealed rather than black underseal, I've had great results on my previously imported RA, it just looks so much cleaner without hiding anything which further down the line could be beneficial.
