Car Info: Version 7.5 2002 STi
FS: syKo-STI (2004 STi body swap with 2002 2.5RS)
Some background on the vehicle:
For those that don't know me or my car, this is not merely a 2.5RS with an engine swap. It is a 2004 STi with a bug-eye body swap. Everything down to the wiring harness, relays, bolts, etc. come from my 2004 STi. Given that, there is no warranty through Subaru whatsoever. The car is VINed with the 2.5RS plates from the donor vehicle and therefore you'd be paying insurance on a non-turbo car. The title is clear - it is not salvaged. It's not daily driven, and right now has about 18850 miles on it so it's low for being a 2004. The swap was completed in August 2005 with 14800 miles on the odometer. The 2.5RS chassis is an 2002 that had 49k miles on it.
I have tons of hi-res pics but it's best to see the car in person. Of course nothing is left from the 2002 at all except the shell and you would get tons of spare parts too like a dashboard, power window motors, oil filters, some stock parts and more. The car was never abused by going offroading or doing donuts or burnouts, but it was tracked on the drag strip at least 2 dozen time (12.98 quarter driven by IslandX). At the same time it was very cared for, all fluids were changed at 10k miles and 15k miles after the swap including trans, diff, coolant, and brakes. This is definitely a one-off build and is worth it to see in person.
Why I'm selling:
Because I'm moving early next year and I don't want to take the car with me. It's just that simple. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it at all, and I spent days and weeks going over everything making sure everything functions as OEM and looks that way too. All wiring has been run in OEM locations and wrapped properly. And everything was degreased and cleaned.
Full list of mods:
Vakamon did the majority of the heavy work and Ryan is the man to go to if you ever encounter anything with this car down the line you need taken care of. List of modifications and build-up of the car on this thread:

Asking price:
I'm asking for 25k on this car. I'm willing to haggle a little but do not lowball me. Remember you will also receive (easily) a grand in spare parts. You will also receive stock parts such as the orange sidemarkers, front grill, wrx scoop, a couple extra oil filters, and a fuel filter. I have 4 big boxes of parts sitting in storage that will come with the car (if you want it). The only thing I no longer have are the stock headlights.
