Hi Guys,

I'm putting my WRX up for sale, it's also listed on craigslist.com and nasioc.com. I'm just going to copy the nasioc add to save myself some typing, it's a bit long which I appologize for, there's a lot done to the car though. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd like the car to go to an enthusiast who will keep working on it and enjoying it.

I've only had the car at one meet since I've been in Maine, which was up in Lewiston at the sports bar (Gridiron I think?).

I work a lot of hours, but if you give me some lead time I'm very happy to show the car in person and take interest parties for a drive in it. Actual test drives will only be for buyers with financing already lined up/cash in hand.

For what it's worth, the car and wheels look much better in person or when it's driving around, the pictures make the proportions look a little funny...

Thanks for looking!

Hi Everyone,

It's been a long time in coming, but I think I'm at a point where I'm ready to move onto a different car. I've really enjoyed this car over the years, and still love it, but I just started a new job and I don't have the time that I would like to devote to continue modifying/improving this car and I'd really like to get a coupe to enjoy for a while before my wife and I have kids. The car runs great right now, I drive it daily and have driven it over 1,000 miles in a weekend several times in the last couple of months for events and have then driven it home again afterwards. Anyone that knows me, knows that I baby my cars on the street, this car's had a good life

Car runs and drives very well. Serious buyers are invited to take it for a test drive, however test drives will be limitted to buyers with financing lined up/cash in hand. I'm happy to take potential buyers for a spin with myself driving prior to arranging financing.

Car does have what I would consider normal wear and tear for a car of it's age, and I want the buyer to have a chance to look the car over prior to any money changing hands.

Known issues:

-what I would consider normal body imperfections, interior actually looks pretty good.

-3rd and 4th gear synchros complain if rushed, shift very nicely under normal driving though and shift smoothly even at WOT if shifts are of a normal speed

-bumper beam/emissions are issues buyer needs to be aware of and acknowledge prior to purchase

-If you want to track the car with the full exhaust (not the race exhaust) installed I would recommend having an exhaust shop weld on an extra mount on the lower downpipe, it did not come with one, but before tossing the car around hard in the corners I feel like it could use one.

-Car could use a catch can, I haven't gotten around to installing one yet.

-A/C is not charged currently: all parts are present and connected, I just pulled the condenser while working on the car a few months ago and haven't gotten around to recharging it.

I'd like to get $15,000 for the car, however I'm very open to offers. I'm also interested in trades for an 02-04 Z06, plus cash on my end. I'm not in any rush to sell, however I am willing to negotiate with people if they make reasonable offers

I know the car does book for considerably less, and I will take that into account, but it is VERY heavily modified, and the wear components, for the most part, are all relatively low mileage. This is a great car with a lot of potential. I'd trust it to drive across the country and have routinely driven it 1,000+ miles in a weekend on the current setup. Majority of the miles are highway miles, however I do drive it as my DD, but I walk to work and for most errands, so it probably only comes out every couple days.

I haven't had the car on a chassis dyno in it's current state, however last summer it made ~440whp on datalog lab road dyno software, which seems to be quite accurate, I think it is a comfortable, driveable ~400whp car

The car should do over 400whp on straight 93, however it's currently tuned on 93 and water/methanol.

didn't realize the shift light was crooked in the below picture, it normally sits flush in the mounts, I had been playing with the height of the column, and didn't adjust the light...

just a quick tip. you may want to find better hosting for your pics. myspace is blocked at many workplaces such as mine. it deters people from being able to view your pics, especially people like me who get a lot of this done at work.

Sorry about the picture hosting... I'm too busy to mess with uploading them somewhere else unfortunately... Perhaps if I have some spare time down the road.

Price is OBO, feel free to make an offer.
