Trades: No trades, Already have Replacement Car
Price: $6,500 OBO
Terms: As is no warranty, modified car.
Description: 1998 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS with a 2.5L WRX/STi Hybrid Swap, I purchased this car from a local on craigslist in the summer of 2008 about 6 months after I lost my GT-Four to a rear end collision. When I purchased the car it was a 2.5l NA Automatic, Since then I've replaced every moving part on the vehicle and completed a WRX/STi 2.5l Hybrid Swap. The only parts original to the car from when I received it are the hubs, brakes (including lines), interior, and lighting. I've only driven this vehicle about 200 miles since I took ownership and due to the cost of the build, the amount of time I've sunk into it and the fact that I cant use it for the purpose i bought the vehicle for I'm moving on to miata's.

Complications/Issues:
- Auto To manual swap, no ABS or Cruise Control.
- Coolant Seals are going out on the turbo, will be replacing the TD04 with another. Till then the car will sit.
- If you plan on putting on a bigger turbo (meaning I don't have to replace the existing TD04) I'll reduce the price by $500 and arrange for the car to be tuned with the larger turbo/components at Epic Motorsports in Fayetteville NC at no additional cost.

Mileage: 165,XXX miles on odometer/chassis, running gear varies by part (explained below)
Exterior Condition: Drivers side door and fender are damaged, Paint is 4 year old, Macco quality. Have the 2.5RS Coupe Spoiler same color as car, not installed.

You're welcome to any Subaru parts I have, but it's up to you to make arrangements to pick them up.
If you're interested in getting the 99-01/V5-6 STi style bumper cover I'll pay half of the cost to get a brand new one for you.

$5, and I think that's being generous.

Would you be interested in selling the 6 spoke RS wheels? If so, how much for all 4 wheels?

Thanks,

Updated everything.

If the car sells and the owner doesn't want any of the spare parts, the wheels will be for sale for $150 with or without the tires (your choice)

All of the other stuff will be free (spring cleaning :P)
