    I'll start with the bad. I believe it has bent valves. I put in a ~100K used engine after my last one spun a bearing. The previous owner neglected to tell me he spun a cam shaft 2 teeth while trying to remove it. I replaced the timing belt and retimed it, but not until after starting the car 2 teeth off. I *assume* this is the reason for the current stumble and sputter. It could also be some stupid electrical issue, but I have ruled most other reasons out. It starts and runs, but I would not consider it drivable.

    Also, the car has a salvage title. It was wrecked at less than a year old. It was repaired and apparently pretty well, because it has done another 120K miles without issue. No alignment issues or other problems as a result of the damage. I have speculations about what work was done, but I will discuss that with potential buyers so as not to go on too long here.

    The good.
    2005 transmission
    ACT HD clutch (lots of meat on it)
    STI Suspension (regreased, 1/4" saggy butt spacers)
    H6 brake upgrade
    Ported exhaust manifolds (mild home port)
    TGV delete
    Silicone intake
    3" downpipe and STI mid section
    Catless uppipe
    Kartboy short shifter and knob
    Grimmspeed gaskets on exhaust, intake manifold, TGV, turbo, etc...
    Fresh fluids in rear diff and tranny (extra S)
    New front wheel bearings and ball joints
    Fresh brake pads, timing belt, and other maintenance up to date

    I am probably forgetting a few things. I will update more later with whatever else I remember and more recent pictures.

    I am asking $4,200 or best offer. That comes with the stock wheels with decent (50%+) Firestone Winterforce tires.
    I also have a set of 17x7 MB mesh wheels with pretty new Hankook Ventus V110 Evo tires (225/45/17). Both wheels and tires have only a few thousand miles on them. I am asking $600 or best offer for these. I would be glad to sell these with the car and work out a fair price for the combo.

    I don't have much interest in trades, but *might* consider a partial trade for a forester. I want mostly cash out of this deal though as I would like to pay off some debt.

    Pictures are from a while ago. It is currently dirty and has some interior bits exposed.

    Car is sold. I still have the wheels, but will make a new thread with a few other parts I have.

    I let it go for $3,500. Less than I had planned on, but I decided I would rather not have the hassle of showing multiple times and having things drag out. As a result I was able to clean my garage and re-coat the floor today. :)
