Wierd sti on craigs

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/847347568.html

Looks like a sti shell... but why would there be regular brakes on them and not brembo's? WRX door panels... ? Who's this sti and whats the long story behind it?

you're never going to stop being an ******* are you? How did I know you were going to jump in here and spew more ****. ...I was simply trying to shed some more light on the car, and help an i-clubber out. I dont KNOW this guy, talked to him a couple times while buying parts in rancho cordova, he wanted to buy some injectors from me and then flaked out. Is it right the way he's selling it? no, never said it is. now stfu

it seems like a wrx shell even. the side skirts aren't from a STi, and the center console isn't STi either. the tranny can't be from an STi, it's clearly a 5spd. there's no reverse lock out ring. you know, the part you pull up on when putting a 6spd STi trans into reverse. it's just a wrx with STi seats, gauge cluster, tmic, and a few body panels.

Wow totally shady WRX because that thing is not an STi
Soo many wrong things about this car besides the brakes.
Looks like it's a WRX with a STi TMIC
I don't even think it's an STi shell
Looks like an 04, but with some 05 bits.
