The RS needs to go... Issues however.

As of now, it's NOT stock.

TEIN HA Coilovers
Carbon fiber strut bars front and rear
AEM cold air intake
perrin endlinks
22b brakes
STi V6 seats
Carbon fiber hood
P1 wheels
Exhaust... and a bunch of other things I can't think of right now.


Issue #1. It's an automatic... an automatic that doesn't work. So I can either replace the auto tranny and part the car out and sell it as stock, or I can just do a 5speed swap and possibly keep the car, even though I never drive it... or can possibly sell it to someone who is into subarus. (sell it modded).

What do you guys think?

Hmm.... Good question. Well... if you don't use it... you should probably sell it. I'd say part it out and sell it. If you want to do a swap... it is going to cost. It isn't cheap...


Uh... yeah... If you do part out and you decide to sell your cf hood cheap, let me know...

If you part out you will get some of your money back from the mods. It depends on if you want to take the time and effort but if you can find a buyer as-is that will give you a decent amount of money them that would be the way to go. I guess try and sell it as-is and if it doesn't sell you can always part it out then sell it.

That would suck for you to see it go. You could probably get a 5spd from Adam and see if they can swap it for you man! But if you part it out I'll keep an eye out

Sounds like the perfect shell for a drivetrain swap.

Japanese spec HA's should still be good for $800
The 40mm Strut Tower bar in the back is worth money
