This car now has the RA Group N gearset and Exedy clutch that Rallispec originally put in my '02 WRX 2k miles ago. This set up ran me $2500 in parts and labor just a few months ago when they installed in in my '02 WRX, and it has now been swapped into this '95 Impreza (once again, by Rallispec), as I prefer the RA ratios, plus I have an FP20g that I purchased for this car that will require the stronger gears.

I have been unable to do anything else to it, other than the tranny/clutch swap, which Rallispec performed. Because I'm working two jobs, and studying for the law school admission test in December, then banging out applications, I will not be able to work on this car until early 2005, so I wanted to feel out the buyer market for it. It will live in my garage on jackstands until I can find time to finish the project, unless someone takes it off my hands.

I'm asking $6500 obo for this set up. The car is stored in my garage.


Here is original post from when I bought the car from a fellow nasioc'er:

Please contact me with any questions or to check out the car. It will need to be flatbedded away from my garage.

bump!

I just arranged to pick up some jdm red/grey suede Ver 5/6 STi coupe front seats next week. If I keep this car, they are going to be swapped in. If a buyer steps up for the car, I can upgrade it to the STi seats for just $550. You will not find a better price on clean, jdm Ver 5 STi seats...just another incentive for the future buyer of this car. I'll update the thread when I pick up the seats in 5 days.

I took 14 more pics of the car w/my crappy digicam, and hosted them, so that you can see current pics of the car.

Is the car driveable? If not what all needs to be done to drive it? Keep seeing this thread on the boards, so just curious.

Hey Joe, how've ya been?

The car still needs some work to be drivable. The AWD gas tank is in place, but the fuel lines need to be connected. The Link ecu's wiring needs to be routed properly (see pics). It is soldered into the WRX harness, and should be good to go, just needs to be wrapped/covered/routed back into the engine bay through the firewall. Each wire is still labeled, too, fwiw, to make checking the wiring an easy process.

Rear end needs some bolts put in.

Driveshaft install.

Left rear caliper needs to be installed, brake lines connected and bled.

Clutch master cyl needs to be sourced and installed.

Rear WRX strut tops need to be installed.

Hood, RS front bumper, rear bumper, and right front fender need to be painted to match the car.

Price lowered to $6750. This will be a bulletproof pump gas 11 second AWD daily driver when finished with the parts I have on hand for it!

mark, i think i want it. remember me... you were trying to buy a wrx drivetrain from me a while back. is there a wrx bulkhead harness included? or is the link soldered into the engine harness?

Still for sale? Emailed you, annointed.

Peace

Hey guys, sorry, I've been gone on vacation since Dec 23rd...thanks to the Caribbean sun, I'm nice and tan now:cool:

Spiralsmurf, of course I remember you. I'm sorry that deal didn't work out, but my Legacy is still destined to be EJ20'd...or EJ257'd, have no fear:D Anyway, to answer your question, the Link is wired into the engine harness, so there is no WRX bulkhead harness. I think the last picture in the album linked above shows the link's wires (the brightly colored wires) soldered into the WRX engine harness connectors' wires, if you can make out what you're looking at.

firealhrdcor, I assume you're Chuck? If so, I just replied to your email from tonight. If you're local, it would be great for you to come see the car in my garage.

Thanks for the interest, everybody.

E-mailed you back Mark. Im in upstate NY. (Binghamton) Yahoo tells me its approx. 4 hours from Atlantic City.

Peace

Price on the car and available mods has been lowered again, and it is now at $6500 obo.

I just went out to my garage and took 22 more pics of the car, focusing on the body's flaws, since I've had a number of people requesting info on the body's condition, etc. I would like to add that the flash on my camera makes the hood look silverish, but in person it looks black. The flash also brings out several greasy fingerprints around the hood release latch from my fingers, which should obviously be cleaned off before the hood is painted. Amazing what a flash photo reveals:) The shots of the dash also look like a faded light gray, but in person, the dash is a blackish dark gray. I'm not sure why the flash has the effect of lightening the gray parts of the car, but it does. The hood is popped or raised in all pics. It closes nicely and properly, but I didn't think to take any pics with it fully closed...as you can see, the car is surrounded by WRX wheels, bumpers, and other such parts in my garage:) The bags in the engine bay are to cover up and protect the turbo, intake, etc from dust, water, or any other foreign contaminent, although the car is kept in my houses indoor garage 24/7.

I've been going ahead with this project with intentions of finishing it and enjoying the car for the next 4 years while I complete law and business school. In addition to what's on the car, the parts that I've recently sourced for the car are as follows:

-Right front fender (red)
-'02 WRX wheels w/very worn tires
-RS hood vents
-WRX rear strut tops
-WRX AC compressor
-Forester washer bottle (twin pump for future intercooler waterspray mod)'
-'02 WRX hydraulic clutch components (master + slave cyl and other hardware)

I've spent over $500 on these parts alone, not to mention the time and effort of sourcing them, but I'm going to include them to the buyer of the car, so you won't have to worry about finding these parts to finish the swap

would you consider a trade? I have a my00 2.5rs with BPU

Its blue ridge pearl. here is a picture of it:
