Default FS: GC8 RX STi Conversion

Hi all,

CAR IS UP FOR URGENT SALE- can mod please remove EOI from title.

I have been offered a position at Uni over east, I am having to sell my 1997 Impreza RX with full ver 3 JDM STi running gear conversion to subsidise part of the cost of living over there.
Build thread can be found here:

PASSED DOT INSPECTION FOR DRIVELINE CONVERSION

No swaps/trades

Drivetrain:
JDM ver3 STi engine
JDM ver3 STi IHI VF23 turbo
JDM ver3 STi 5 speed transmission
JDM ver3 STi diff's
JDM ver3 STi ECU

BOSS 6.5" front Drivers
Alpine D-Mono Block Amp with 12" S-Type Subwoofer

AutoWatch Immobiliser & Central Locking just installed

Probably a heap of stuff I have forgotten- will update if I remeber anything I have left out.

The Bad: Body/paintwork in average condition for it's age. Rear & rear passenger window tinting is starting to go.



All of the STi goodies were professionally installed and taken from a JDM ver3 STi V-Limited halfcut by Subaru specialists S-Technic. I have receipts for the half-cut and all work done by S-Technic.

Serviced at S-technic, has 80% new rubber all round- mechanically has never missed a beat. Odo: 119,XXXkm


This car has been an awesome project for me, the reason I did this instead of just buying an STi was the following:
-Something unique
-JDM ver3 STi came with one of the most aggresive cam & tune set-up's to leave the Subaru factory for GC8's (as I have been informed).
So it will be a regretful sale- but i'll no doubt be back into a Subaru as soon as Uni is finished & I can get a real job!
