COBB Turbo Heatshield
ALL NEW GRIMSPEED gaskets
Tuned by Anthony M @ Hybridworks (conservative tune to balance fuel economy and power)
ALL work done/maintained by Hybridworks
COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD (will provide all receipts to see ALL work done)
Just a few highlights
NEW:
CP Pistons, rings and rods
ALL seals and gaskets (OEM engine seal kit, head gasket, etc)
COMPLETE Timing belt (belts, rollers, tensioner, etc)
Water pump
Killer B oil pick up & Pan
Walbro fuel pump
EGR plate
Brand new REAR brake pads and rotors (fronts did not need to be replaced)
*There are a ton more but you get the idea
ON TOP OF THE COMPLETE REBUILD I UPGRADED THE BELOW COMPONENTS
VF39 TURBO
STI INTERCOOLER
DW850cc INJECTORS TOP FEED
OIL
Always used WIX filters with OEM crush ring EVERY oil change
Before rebuild I used Castrol EDGE FULL Synthetic or Mobil 1 FULL Synthetic 5W30 every 4-5k
AFTER rebuild I have been using Castrol GTX Conventional oil 10W40 every 3k (per advice from shop, wanted to go thicker)
OEM Forester suspension (minus top hats, I reused them when I installed the wagon suspension)
OEM Hood scoop
OEM DP that replaces the shorty DP for smog purposes
OEM Heatshield
OEM TURBO TD04
OEM Intercooler
OEM front and rear swaybars from an 2007 WRX Wagon w/ endlinks
NOTES:
The TPMS sensors stays on but tire pressure is fine as I check it at least once a month (will need new sensors). Also the passenger window can be finicky at times it rolls down with passenger controls but sometimes wont roll up using the passenger side control. The master control on the drivers side works no problem so the passenger side window can be rolled up with out any issues (could be the passenger side switch). A few rock chips in the windshield that have been treated to prevent from spidering. AC compressor will need to be replaced but will be done before purchase. Other than that everything seems to be in perfect working order. It's possible I may have missed something so if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks OneManArmy! Yeah I wished it was a manual as well but I still made the best of it LOL. A lot of sweat and tears poured into this car sucks to let it go but sometimes you just have to move on
