SW MN: 2005 WRX, 89k, tons of extras, fire damaged

I'm not sure where to start on the price, I would like to get around $5k (open to offers), as is, where is, but I am willing to part it out. Located in SW MN (Montevideo). My cousin decided to drive my suby while I was away at work. I received a phone call that I no longer have a Subaru because it was on fire on a gravel road. It seems like something dripped on the manifold, causing a fire, but I'm not 100%. Long story short, insurance totaled it out. I have a pretty decent amount of parts on this. The turbo is a fresh rebuild with less than 50 miles on it (thinking the rings were blown on the motor, thought, *hoped*, it was just seals on the turbo). Car was running and pulling strong, just burned oil. There are still a lot of good parts on this car. It has sunroof and heated seats, 89k on the body and 5 speed tranny, less than 15k on the new long block and parts listed below. A list of some of the parts:
Deatsch Werks 565cc injectors.
ARP head studs.
TurboXs front mount intercooler.
Samco intake up-pipe.
HKS 3" down pipe Bellmouth.
HKS carbon titanium cat back exhaust.
HKS SSQV blow off valve.
TiTek up-pipe.
Evo III 16G turbo.
Borla exhaust manifold.
ACT stage II clutch.
Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilovers.
Cometic head gaskets.
18's w/3 good tires (I'll have to double check what brand)
I'm sure I'm forgetting some things.

That sucks, how did it happen?

karma for the license plate??

 

Relatives suck.

 

The front passenger side is the only place that really lost much. The back half didn't get much heat, the recirc hose on the ssqv didn't even melt. Turbo, exhaust, suspension, transmission, clutch, rims, etc are all good still

 

I'm not quite sure how it happened. It looks like something dripped on the manifold, or an animal made a nest there (out at the farm), heated up and then took off. The fire department arrived fairly quickly, glad it wasn't just a leftover chunk of melted metal. Lots of saveable parts survived.

Karma could've played a roll because of the plates haha

 

You must have read the ad very well. The very first sentence "I'm not sure where to start on the price, I would like to get around $5k (open to offers)" Original shocks with that drop? "Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilovers." You haven't seen the car in person. The back half of the motor didn't get hot, none of the rubber hoses or reservoirs melted. You're opinion and input are appreciated.

 

You have a picture where the battery is melted. That was on the opposite side of the major fire damage. That is a lot of heat. I have to agree with Shorty on this one. Everything in front of the fire wall is suspect. There are still a lot of good parts left, but I wouldn't trust anything in that engine bay.

 

Shorty, maybe you should take this to your shop and finish "fixing" it.

 

I could turn your block into a cool-looking coffee table if you want. I think it would look neat all scorched up.

 

I think we should keep arguing with the firefighter about the possible extent of the fire damage.

 

Any chance you'd sell the passenger front door lol if you do part it out

 

Shorty, why do reports always use the term "accelerant" when discussing a suspected arson when I have to believe that the accelerant used is almost always gasoline? I have a hard time believing that an arsonist would use gallons of charcoal starter fluid, or some other highly volatile solvent.

 

There are many accelerats out there other then gas that are a viable option...

 

Yeah, staining rags...have been afraid of those since high school shop. Diesel is not one of the first things I would think of if I were going to torch a building...or even alcohol. Dollar for dollar, gasoline has to be the cost-conscious arsonist's accelerant of choice. I have had a metal, oily waste can for almost 30 years now. Every DIY homeowner should make this one of their first purchases when outfitting their garage. Get one.

 

If you've ever tried to burn anything smooth or vertical you'd fine that gasoline is a pain. Add to that the stink factor and the difficulty in controlling something so volatile I would think it's a bad choice. If people use it for molotov cocktails or anything like that it is usually mixed with something more viscous like motor oil. Otherwise something hotter, but still readily available like white gas or stickier like kerosene would almost certainly be better than gasoline.

Ummm.....not an arsonist. I promise.

 

Why not up the ante and go straight for napalm?

 

I do order a lot of packages online....

 

While we're in PSA mode, it's not worth trying to wash/dry oily rags, too much risk of fire. Also watch out for linseed oil-soaked rags, they can spontaneously combust - much like Subarus.

 

**** napalm, go straight to thermobaric

 

OP I'll give you 50 bucks

 

Any chance you still have the radiator?

 

...I know your desperate but I would NOT use that radiator.

 

Rushed to comment. Didnt see the picture.

 

How much you want for the black interior?

 

Could you post an updated list of what is left pleeeeeeeeaaaase?

 

"Never smoked in."

 

That'll buff right out or, "light sun damage"

 

update on available parts?

 

sooo....
