FS: 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS Coupe (STi Swaped)
Thats right, its for sale. I love it to death, but its just not logical to own it right now (School and such). I will let it go if the price is right.
Car is a 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS Coupe. The body has 130,000km on it and the heads, trans, etc... should have just about 60,000km on it (The car has a newer JDM STi Version 8 Block now, just installed 2 weeks ago, has 18,000KM on it). The swap was completed mid october (2005) and has not really been driven that much. I bought this car from its original owner in late may of 2005, and the car had been babied. Unfortunatly, it generated a rod knock during the summer (not sure why), so a swap was in order. This is an amazing car, done by planet motorsports. The engine looks completely at home in the engine bay.
Drivetrain:
-STi Version 4 Type R (Now with a JDM STi Version 8 Block)
-5 Speed Close Ratio Transmission
-Driver Controlled Center Diff
-4.444
-R160 Rear LSD
Mods:
-GAB Adjustable Struts On Unknown JDM Springs
-SARD R2D2 Blow Off Valve
-Blitz 9mm Plug Wires
-Brembo Cross Drilled Rotors
-PBR Semi Metallic Pads
-STi Version 4 Gauge Cluster (8,000rpm Redline, DCCD display)
-3" Catless Turboback with 4" Belmouth Downpipe (car passed E-test this year already when I had a catted exhaust).
-Subaru Center Gauge Housing
-Defi JDM Legacy Sti Gauge Pack (Boost, Oil Temp, Oil Press) *Add $800*
-Rally Armor Mudflaps
-WRX 6CD Changer
-Walbro Fuel Pump
-Custom Camera Mount
-Custom Radiator Shroud
-IC Water Spray (Manual And Auto)
-Compustar 2 Way Alarm with Turbo timer, remote starter, pager, etc...
Comes with 2 sets of wheels and tires:
-OEM 99RS Wheels wrapped in Toyo T1-S Tires
-Unknown 16" Gunmetal wheels with Michelin Pilot Alpine PA2 Performance Winter Tires (used for 1 winter)
I also have 2004 STi Silver BBS's Wrapped in Pirelli P7000 performance tires (almost brand new), which I will throw in for an extra $1000
Probably other stuff too that Im not thinking of right now.
If you are interested PM me, I can send you some more recent pictures (click the picture in my signature for some OLD pics of it).
The cars total value to me is over $26,000 but I know I will not get that. Im looking around the area of $17,500 O.B.O. No tire kickers or test pilots please.



The car just got back from Planet about 2 weeks ago. The car now has the JDM STi Version 8 Block with 18k on it, a new oil pump, a new GReddy timing belt, and boy does it ever pull hard.Last edited by DoriSPL; Jan 16th, 2007 at 02:19 AM. Reason: Update

Mods, please move to the Vehicle section (when I started this thread, there was no section for vehicles).
BTW: I havent been trying to sell the car all this time, I decided I wanted to keep it before, but now I really do need this money for education.

Small videoclip of the car, never been bothered by cops with it before, and you have to love the exhaust note of a boxer engine.

what do you mean "No tire kickers or test pilots please."
anyway, great car!
Swapping the engine in the RS chassis is the only way to get an STI coupe.

What I mean is that I need proof that someone really is interested before I let them drive it. I have had people beat the crap out of my old car when I was trying to sell it, then they never called me back agian.
Here is the most recent pic of the car (taken last night at around 8:45pm, exposure give it the good lighting). Turned it into a desktop calendar.

Thanks, If only I had a digital SLR. These pics were taken with my friends 5mp point and shoot. Picture was taken at 8:30pm so exposure played a big part as well.
Car has been running Royal Purple oil ever since the swap, and its been babied. Price is $19,500 obo.
