hey guys, i have a black 2001 RS for sale, i originally bought it with a blown motor as i was gonna do an STi swap into it, but i realized that having 2 project cars was a terrible idea, so i rebuilt a stock EJ251 for it and swapped it in.
the motor has JUST been broken in, rougly 3500km's on the motor since the rebuild, already on its 4th oil change, first 3 were done with conventional engine oil for the break in process, it is currently running Castrol Syntec 5w30, and has about 1500km's on the fresh oil.
Engine runs very smooth, revs are quick and responsive.
heres the full breakdown/ specs on the car:
2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS 2 Door Coupe
Black
5spd
280,XXXkms on chassis, (3500km on freshly rebuilt motor)
Power Windows, Power door locks, Sunroof (works! and doesnt leak!)
Engine/ Transmission:
-Completely rebuilt:
-New rings
-New pistons
-ACL main/ rod bearings
-Polished crankshaft
-Complete gasket kit, every gasket/seal was replaced
-New thermostat
-New head bolts
-Heads and block halves were cleaned and decked
-Lapped valves
-New valve seals
**All the machining was done at Alec's Automotive in Vancouver
-New alternator and AC belts
-NGK plugs
-NGK silicone wires
-Brand new OEM ignition coil
-Brand new battery
-Cold air intake
-2004 STI catback exhaust
-lengthened stock header to fit GD exhaust
-brand new pre/post cat O2 sensors
-New clutch:
-New Exedy pressure plate
-New Exedy friction disk
-New OEM flywheel
-New pilot bearing and throw out bearing
-Transmission and diffs flushed with Subaru Extra-S gear oil
Suspension/Brakes/tires:
-JDM GC8 WRX Strut and springs (much firmer than stock RS and sits a little lower aswell)
-2003 WRX front brake upgrade
-Hawk HPS pads all around
-Brake system flushed with Wilwood 570 high performance Brake fluid
-2003 WRX 16" split 5 spoke wheels
-205/50/16 Yokohama Advan S.4 tires, tons of tread life left
Interior:
-JDM Itavolanti Steering wheel from a GC8 (also have the stock steering wheel with airbag if you want it)
-JDM GC8 WRX Tigerstripe front and rear seats, probably one of the most comfortable and supportive seats ive ever sat/ driven in
-Painted center console with gunmetal paint (was going for the JDM look, it looks very OEM)
-2003 WRX OEM aluminum pedals
Exterior:
-Brand new OEM headlights (old ones had rock chips)
-JDM GC8 front foglights with hyperwhite bulbs
-JDM GC8 clear corner lights
THE BAD:
-previous owner did a lot of driving on logging roads with this car before, so the paint on the front bumper is in pretty rough shape due to rocks/sand.
-hood also has a bit of rock chippage due to the same reason
-front windshield is cracked
-missing the body trim piece thing on the drivers side rear 1/4 panel
PRICE: $8000 OBO
yes, i realize the milage is high and the paint isnt in pristine condition, but with all things considered, with a freshly rebuilt motor, and the various mods that ive done on the car, i think this is a pretty fair price, but feel free to hit me up with reasonable offers if you're interested.
also: the car originally came with a tow hitch aswell, which i have removed, but will include with the sale if the buyer wants it
the car is much MUCH more fun to drive with the JDM suspension and the JDM seats
oh and the car has also just been aircared, so its good for 2 years.
