alright guys im just testing the waters on this. Would really like a WRX as i have kids and a four door would be alot easier for me. I spun a rod bearing about 3 weeks ago in the car and have since purchased a plethora of new parts for the car along with a new motor with zero miles on the bearings. I am in the process of swapping in the turbo pistons with new rings and new subaru headgaskets, new timing belt new water pump, new plugs, new plug wires, new 3in bellmouth downpipe and 3 in exhaust, new stainless steel header, new triple gauge pod on dash with boost and aem wideband, thick top mount intercooler, turbo xs boost controller and RFL blow off valve. 126,000 miles on the car. I did weld in new sheet metal to fix rust on the rear quarters but it does need to be finished, the panels are a little bit wavey still and are just spray canned. The motor is a EJ22T with the oil squirters. Included would be every extra part i have for the car, there is no cd player included. Paint is still shiney and interior is in damn good shape along with the factory rs floor mats. Has the factory silver 5 spoke RS wheels with brand new tires. also installed 3000k HID headlights in the car. The motor is still in the process of being assembled so the car is currently not running, I love this car but a four door would just be alot easier for me. Thanks. alos has ported and polished tdo4 turbo with 20k on it, full catless exhaust.
If it was good to go for a daily driver, I'd be tempted to trade my 03 WRX. You've got a nice looking car there!
Thank you. Car is a daily for me when it was running. Hoping to have the motor back into the car this weekend
I did forget to mention the car has 370cc injectors and 255lph fuel pump. Had it running on e85 as well but with new setup the car will need retuned
just an update, new pistons will be going in tomorrow night, couldnt find my files for the ring gaps so had to postpone. some other info on the car i put in new brake master cylinder, new mass air flow sensor, new right front brake caliper, tires are brand new, radiator is brand new. I also have 3 totes of random things, complete intake manifold, mass air flow sensors, random nuts and bolts, FMIC, pulleys torque converter etc that would go with the car. Also have a hood that i was going to cut up and make into a skid plate but havent gotten to it yet. Car also has a ACT clutch installed. Would consider trades for 00+ silverado ext cab 4x4 or tahoe/yukon as well. I am not able to add any cash on top either. Thanks.
Ok bringing this back up, i put brand new OEM subaru pistons into the block and am now having clearance issues with 2 of the rods and i just dont have the time anymore to put in to the car. Best offer would take everything that i have for the car, could be a pretty simple fix but like i said i need a running/driving car. So would be willing to trade for a running car plus maybe a little cash on my side for the right car. Would get everything i have for the car. text, pm, or call for fastest response 605-400-4039. Located in sioux falls
ok so got the clearance issue figured out, wrist pin wasnt getting put in to the rod and was shoving the rod off to the side and not allowing to rotate. So the motor is assembled on the stand, timing still needs to be done and turbo mounted. I am looking to trade this for a pickup, 4wd extended cab, gmc, chevy, or dodge prefered. full size please let me know.
Still have it. Guy that was going to trade screwed around to much. Car is almost back together motor is going to be installed hopefully this weekend
sorry been busy with work and school. Motor is officially in the car just minor things to finish up like putting on timing cover and bolting up downpipe etc. Honestly only way i would sell the car at this point is if i got a good trade for a 5 speed wrx. dont want a wagon only four door
Can you take pictures of the work you have done to your fenders? Also some 98s don't have sunroofs does yours?
well car is running like a champ, few little issues to work out. been having a blast driving it, so i think i am just going to keep it. Thanks for all the interest guys!
