Car Info: Yellow 2003 WRX wagon, 2.0L/2.5L hybrid
***SOLD*** FS: CA: 2003 WRX, 5MT, 173k, needs head gasket(s), $3500 obo

***SOLD***

I've had the car since 2007 when I bought it off eBay from Texas. I've enjoyed it a lot as a sports car, family car, ski & road trip car, but have barely driven it in the last 3 years so I've finally convinced myself that it needs to find a new owner who will appreciate it.

First, the reasons for such a low price:
-Before it was parked I was struggling to get the smog readiness monitors to switch to "ready" so that it could be smogged again. When I took it to a shop I trusted recently he felt that the head gasket(s) had blown and that's why it's running very rough and why the radiator hoses had swollen (from oil in the anti-freeze). It's currently registered NonOp as these issues will have to be fixed.
-There are a couple of dents on the driver's door that have light rust. I bought it this way and never got around to fixing it.
-The paint on the plastic bumpers has faded.
-The A/C wasn't working last I checked. Recharge?

Now the good stuff:
Aftermarket upgrades;

Exterior;
Amber Hella fog lights and custom rock screens
Fog light wiring modified to work w/o headlights for reduced glare
Factory roof rack bars
2" tow hitch

Interior;
Great condition; no damage to the seats
Tinted windows
LED lighting in rear hatch

Engine/performance;
Hybrid 2.5 block with stock 2.0 heads
Thick head gaskets for compression ratio correction
Forged pistons
850cc DeatschWerks fuel injectors
Walbro 255 LPH fuel pump
Cobb access port V1
High flow catted downpipe
Gutted Up-pipe
K&N drop in air filter (stock air box)
Tuned at GST for both e85 & 91 Octane
brand new Optima Yellow Top battery
Koyo Aluminum radiator

Suspension/brakes;
Tokiko D-Spec adjustable shocks F/R
XXX springs
Whiteline sway bars F/R
Tein adjustable camber plates F
Custom aluminum end links with Whiteline bushings F/R
Stainless steel braided brake lines

Optional:
Powerslot front rotors
Brembo slotted rear rotors
Carbotech XP8 pads F/R
Custom brake ducting with 4" blowers that replace the foglights

(more info)

Wheels/tires;
Rota boost gold with brand new Continental ExtremeContact DW 245/405-17 tires
(optional: Stock wheels with Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires with most of their life left, $350)

I put a couple of dozen track days on the car, but just a couple of track days on the current engine. (I was getting into 24 Hours of LeMons racing at that time.)

I've now sold the car but still have the stock wheels and snow tires. I'll start a new post for those.
