Snyda's 02' Impreza Wrx Sedan PSM
Long story short, I found this baby on craigslist for $3500 with a rod knock and the night I bought it she finally went kaboom. Ended up finding a car in Lookout, CA for $1000 it was totaled and posted to having good running motor, after the 4 hour drive we get there after loosing a tire on the trailer going 60mph on the freeway(Thanks god for tandem axel trailers.). Me and my buddy ended up going half and half on the car so $500 each and I payed the $140 in gas. We got back and pulled the motor and I transported it over to my house and finally got it swapped in yesterday.
Needless to say the motor had bent valves and sat at the shop for 3 weeks until shop swapped the head from the rod knock motor to the (New) block. So after all that was said and done I was into the car about $5200 which I consider still a good deal due to the fact these things go for $7500-$10,000 in my area.
Car has been up and running since 7/3/11

Random: ~s means stock
I have some stock parts for sale or trade here is my list:
~S Intercooler
~S Short block (had rod knock, believe it to be the spun main bearing or whatever the common problem is)
~S Header
~S Wrx fuel pump
~S Just about anything that bolts to a complete motor, fuel lines, tgv's, ect.
