Basically, I'm starting to hit an ends with this car and its pissing me off and making me more angry than happy as I've dumped SO much time and money on both swaps, and neither seem to have come to any sort of fruition, despite my patience, time, and money thrown at it. I have NOTHING to hide on this, its a gauging interest because I am not 100% sure if I want to sell it yet, because it honestly is everything that I've wanted to do, but having not done all the work the first time bothers me a bit and the circumstances behind the entire ownership of the car make me red in the face from anger every time I encounter something else. So, with that all cleared up and stated, I will say exactly what the car is, what it comes with/has, and will answer any and all questions there might be for a potential sale. I have NOTHING to hide, I don't want to give up on the build at all, but I don't need stress like this right now and I've already sold off my other project car anyway, so the white towel has already hit the floor on me this month anyway. Soooooo, here's the scoop. its a 1994 Impreza L Sedan chassis (140k total, but its all fresh and solid as a rock) that's been made into a full 96 JDM WRX (bumpers, beams, skirts, blah blah blah) and has a v5 EJ20k shortblock with new waterpump, oil pump, pullies and tensioners, ect.... Basically, the old EJ20G short block was taken out because it had "a bad piston ring", so it was swapped out. However, when this was done, the retards before me never thought to look over the heads in the process of the rebuild, so they went unchecked and subsequently had a bad valveguide which led to the ultimate roadside fate of the car (ie it burning through oil faster than I could fill it and coating the exhaust to the point where I couldn't drive it because of the fouled plugs and exhaust build up). here's retard's build list: Interior: 01 RS Door Cards 01 RS dash (has retarded carbon fiber trim, so schweet yo) 01 RS Center console with armrest extention 01 RS entire wire harness 01 RS Carpet 01 RS Front and Rear Seats (somewhat worn and loose) JDM STI Genome boost gauge (made by defi with control unit) 02 WRX 6 Disc (why is beyond me) JDM STI nardi wheel signed by Ken Block with a dumb NRG quick release hub different rear speaks on the back cover, stereo sounds stock to me :ugh: Exterior: Brand New Bentley Black Paint (which was nice looking, besides how it was done and the chips) JDM VER 3/4 bumper with factory fogs JDM sideskirts JDM Rear spats 01 RS Hood JDM headlights (Depo painted black I believe, really) JDM tail lights JDM corners (which one is destroyed, since he's a moron) Hella horns 01 rs coupe wing Engine: EJ20K block with 80k originally, but fresh now EJ20g everything else (heads, intake mani, ect...) Polished and sized crank and rods (stock) Newish TD04L (40k iirc) Stock TD05 16G turbo (he thought was bad, because he's a moron, its not) Gold Leaf on intercooler and AC line. (retarded) Wire harness merged by Garage Tuning. (Nicest thing, he didn't do it, that's why) Powdercoated Black intake manifold Invidia V2 divorced wastegate downpipe The Black Megan stealth V2 exhaust CX racing aluminum radiator. Brand new Apexi filter on custom intake. (nice filter, dumb adapter) JDM WRX 4.11 transmission JDM WRX 4.11 rear end Suspension: Buddy Club Coilovers (rusty top hats, super common, feels like 10k/8k springs or so) Cold stripped and Powdercoated Black RS five spokes 07 WRX four pot front brakes (brand new pads and rotors) 07 WRX two pot rear brakes (brand new pads and rotors) Baker steel braided brake lines. Racing blue brake fluid Whiteline Anti lift kit Whiteline front endlinks Whiteline rear endlinks JDM front 22mm Swaybar JDM rear 22mm Swaybar There are a handful of other goodies, but I honestly didn't make a list of it yet, I've been trying to get the stupid fork pin out of two hours now). Then there is ALL the other crap I've bought for this damned car over the past 6 months or so, which I would be getting rid of as well and just starting clean and fresh with something else. so here's THAT list. EJ20G heads (2 coil pack bolt variants, my packs are single bolts, not sure if interchangeable or not. High rise intake manifold (RS maybe?) with 1000cc RC injectors, was going to use these as a Spec C knockoff Garrett GT3076R Turbo, has anti-surge, needs new cartridge however. EJ257 (04 STI) short block, fairly complete (was supposedly more so) has cracked piston EJ257 (D25) AVCS heads, need cams and covers, otherwise complete (one crack on cam seal carrier) EJ257 AVCS head wiring harness 2005 WRX Limited wiring harness, FULL harness, complete from front to back, with heated seat wiring 2005 WRX Limited ECU Brand New Diamond coilpacks (EJ257) Complete WRX dash set up and cluster too (assuming he EVER ships it) Brand new NGK's for the old swap (hard as hell to find, apparently) I know I'm missing stuff, but I don't really care at this point, you've got the idea. Make reasonable offers, please, I think you can get an idea of what all is there, and what all is into it. I am honestly just getting more frustrated than happy at this point, which is pushing me towards something else. I wanted to be done and driving this car with the old swap and wanted to have a good start on the new build. Needless to say, things haven't gone my way since day one on this car, I've invested a lot of time (mine and other people's) and entirely too much money for something that's sat in my garage for so long. I'm tired of buying tools and parts (of which aren't as advertised or don't show up for ages if at all). Let me know if anyone would have interest or offers. It'd really make a fantastic weekend car, daily driver, track car, or rally car with different coilovers. Chris *throws in white towel*
Damn dude - I was hoping that you would take this one across the line. If there's anything I can do to help you get it going let me know. My mechanics are elementary at best but I'm more than willing to lend a hand if it help you change your mind.
At this point is just trying to get the dowel pin out of the fork, and hope that the new heads are compatible with the current oil feed tube, valve covers, and coil packs if I can get the stupid block out. Then its figuring out why the clutch set up is garbage and rectify it. Its hard to keep motivated when its fought me every step of the way and I've had to go over every inch of the car.
Please note guys, I'm looking for offers for the entire lot before I start considering parting everything out
^^^ this big time. Take the summer off and come back to it in fall. Don't start with any of the nasty stuff that you know about, do something that's really easy and score some points against it. Once I get my house build finished (couple of months now) I'll come and hold the other end of a wrench / beer... You know it makes sense!
^^^ definitely stick with it!!! But if you do decide to part out for sure. Get back to me on the rs center console.
Keep your head up buddy! In the end it'll be the best thing ever.... But if u go decide to part out...find on rs hood and jdm bumper,tail lights.etc just saying...
