Its a tough decision but I'm trying to buy a house and am thinking/entertaining the idea of selling my swapped 2.5rs.

Heres the list of the goodies:

2000 GC8 2.5rs in Alpine White, 4 Door. It has a USDM EJ257 STI Complete Engine & Drivetrain Swap (uber fun swap...). Shes not a show queen, but does clean up well, and is fun in the twisties. Has roughly 100k on body, & engine mileage is unknown, but compression/leak of engine prior to install was good, and was minor refreshed (gaskets/seals/general maintenance) before installed.

Engine/Drivetrain:
- 2004 STI EJ257 Swap (CA Bar'd) (Stock Long Block w/vf39)
- 2004 6 Speed swap w/ full DCCD & Stock controller, stock clutch flywheel.
- 2004 R180 Rear Differential
- 2006 STI Hub & Knuckle & Axle upgrade (5x114.3 vs 5x100), more Beef, better wheel options.
- 2006 STI Goldie Brembo Brakes (Front & Rear) w/ Stainless Steel Brake lines
- Subaru Factory Short Shifter (actually works well)
- Full Turbo Back Exhaust (Grimmspeed w/HFC Mated to Blitz Nur Spec-R Exhaust)
- Cobb CARB Legal Intake w/ Filter Box
- Cobb Bypass Valve (50/50 or Full Re-circulation)
- Cobb Access Port V3 w/ 2 Pro Tunes (GST Motorsports/Mike Warfield)
- Koyo R2218 Race Aluminum Radiator w/ 2 1200+cfm fans (stays nice & cool)
- Rallitech Slam Plate for Radiator

Suspension/Wheels & Tires:
- 2002 20mm Wrx Rear swaybar & endlinks
- BC BR Coilovers Custom to run w/ STI Hub/Knuckles w/ Front & Rear Camber plates & Custom Swift Springs @ 10k/8k (she's stiff, but not unbearable)
- JDM V6 Aluminum Front Control Arms & Control Arm Bushings
- STI Limited Wheels painted black (lazy...) w/ Hankook RS3 v2: 225/45R17
- Cusco Rear Sub-Frame Brace

Exterior:
- Seibon Carbon Fiber Front Lip (C-West Replica)
- JDM V6 STI Fog Light Covers w/ STI Decals (real deal, hard to find...)
- JDM V6 Rear Bumper Spats (They are raw, unpainted but look good)
- JDM V6 Front Grill w/ Pink I-Badge
- JDM V6 Front Clear/Crystal Headlamps & Corners (looks better then USDM)
- JDM V6 Rear Tail Lights (No amber, Looks Cleaner IMHO)
- 06-07 GD STI Rear Diffuser
- Bakemono V6 STI Replica CF Spoiler/Wing (still have factory 2.5rs spoiler for next owner)

Interior:
Nothing... Stock RS Interior, Swapped over 2004 STI Cluster for ease during wiring, so its not a clean fit to stock RS Cluster housing, but its not bad.
Has functioning A/C & Heat. It also has the V7/04 STI Steering wheel installed w/ Lamco Factory Boost Gauge & Pod on steering column cover.

Known Issues:
- ABS is disabled, its terrible anyways and quite frankly the way its setup is unnecessary (IMHO)
- Rear Differential Temp sensor not hooked up, I was lazy and didn't want to run the wire...either way, if you see that indicator come on its too late so why monitor it.
- Descent Crack in windshield on Driver Side (near A-Pillar), all the glass is original in the vehicle, I never fixed the windshield as its not on the driver side & doesn't bother me.
- Driver side window regulator bushings are worn, so it makes noise (frame) when rolling window up & down. No issues w/ window operation, its just rattles a touch when going up. Once again, never bothered me.

I'm sure there's some stuff I'm forgetting, but that's the gist of it. Like I said earlier, shes no show car she was purpose built for fun driving in the hills and back roads. It handles quite well and surprises a lot of people when they drive in it. Mechanically its solid & has had its general maintenance to the engine & transmission (prior & after swap). She gets tons of thumbs up on drives (especially the Subaru Purists) and when I tell people its also CA Bar'd it makes it that much nicer.

Looking to get $15k OBO, would really like it to go to someone who plans on building her to be a track beast like I was hoping too. I just don't have the time or continued financial resources to do so, and really need to free up some capital for a new home I'm trying to purchase.

*** Might be willing to deal a good price for a long time I-Club Member or BAIC member that knows me & the car ***

*** Also might entertain a trade for a Forester + $$$ ***

Vehicle is located in Northern Californina.

This is what I wanted at 14 when my parents were looking at getting a Subaru, and what led me to getting my 04. So best of both here lol. GLWS, gorgeous car.

 

So clean... GLWS!

My car is worth less than this. Yours is in great shape.
