I am looking to get $15,000 FIRM. A great price if you consider it has over $12,000 dollars in work done.


should i build it up my own way or should i purchase one that has been built up?

im somewhat handy, give me instructions, maybe pictures and i can manage to do eet :offtopic:

[Bu11dogg2]

depends on how handy you are... will you be able to repair the RS?

if not go with the Impreza

[KA82]

some guidance and instructions and im sure i can do anything

The modded one looks pretty good on mods and I might be more likley to go with that personaly, and the price looks pretty good. I woul look into what the deal is with the trans, and use that as a bargining chip in trying to get a better price or instalation when it gets in possably. What it really comes down to in your case is do you have the time and money to build up a car like that, cause it seems like thats what you are set on having. Also you should have a mechanic look at the car and possably look into finding a shop that deals with modded Subarus. A&W in NY is great, run by Subaru techs, and I am sure there are other shops like it by you.

www.nasioc.com has a plethera of s**t on there but if you search you can find the answer to any of your questions there. BTW your still welcome to come hang here and come to our meets even if you go with an Impreza and start hangin on nasioc. You can still come here for some help but nasioc would have a lot more Impreza specfic info. Keep us posted.

[KA82]

"NEW PRICE! For 13,500 I will let the car go with a JDM STI 5 Speed out of a version 2 555 edition. No DCCD but strong as ____"
