I am in the process of buying an 05 RS, and I no longer have need for this beautifle piece of mashinery. I will include all of the information I know about the vehical:

1995 Subaru Impreza Coupe

98,XXX miles

FWD

Standard

The good:

car set up for stock class racing with the following

3 sets of rims:

13" summer tires in a 175/50/13, optimizes shift points and are road worthy brand new with 50 miles, $225 from tire rack shipped.

13" winter studded tires (I do not remember the make, they are currantly at my parants house) pleanty of tread (75%)

15" rims mismatched tires, 2 with 75" tread (matching) 2 that need to be replaced.

front struts are jdm sti with stock springs

rear springs are kyb gr2 with stock springs

performance hawk brake pads

front and rear seats will be out of an 05 2.5 RS (replacing the new car with the WRX interior that is currantly in the car)

passingers side CV shaft just replaced

regular oil changes for the last year that I have owned it

mechanically sound

the bad:

car has some rear fender rot, not to bad

both front fenders are showing signs of rust and could use to be patched/replaced

no major rust on the underside of the car, some surface rust on the rocker pannals, but still solid (needs to be scraped and treated)

transmission shifter linkage bushings need to be replaced (have the bushings, havn't had a chance to put them in yet) caris drivable and shifts smothly, but there is about an inch of play due to worn bushings.

I have recantly noted a small seepage of oil, I only notice it on the bottem of the oil pan, I will be replacing the seal on the oil plug, which I precieve to be the culprit. no noticable loss of oil from oil change to oil change.

I belive the clutch was replaced by the previous owner at around 75K.

engine and transmission have been strong sense I purchased it at 85K.

I am asking 1200 for it from anyone else, but my final is 1000 firm for it.

I'll get some pictures up

any questions please ask

hey all, thank you for the replies. I've been insanly busy, I'll get some pictures up in the next day or two. As for the swap, the amount of work required would be rediculus for a worse engine. the tranny doesn't mate up to the EA82, and the EJ18 is actually a very reliable engine, N/A, and with a turbo setup. Additionally, it is possible to swap in a 2.5 without rewiring the car, which would provide a great deal more power for a fraction of the cost. There have been several writups about this in the past, as it was something that I was interested in doing.

that being said, it's a 98K engine and tranny with a lot of life left in them. I see it as a perfect winter beater/autocross car as it sits, as it's already setup for stock class in both auto and rally cross. the 95 was the only year that a FWD impreza was mated with the 3.9 tranny (rather than the 4.44 from 93 and 94), which leads to much closer shifts. Finally the rear suspention is actually quite stiff on the FWD cars stock, due to extra bracing.

just my 2 cents, as I've owned 4 93-97 impreza's in the last 3 years.
