FS: JDM RHD Subaru Impreza Sti Wagon- Complete v6 swap 54k- Connecticut
Posting for a friend, please contact him on aim at atlasrsv4 or by email v6stiforsale@gmail.com. or i will forward im's to him, but it will take longer for a response!
As painful as it is for me to do this, I've got to let the coolest project I've undertaken yet go. This is far and away the cleanest, most complete, low mileage and fully legal JDM conversion I've seen. The only non-JDM parts on this car are the bare shell, and gas tank and hatch - which are from a US model year 2000 wagon.
For the uninitiated, the v6 STi was the last of the GC bodystyle cars produced in Japan. These were never sold in the US. There are ~1800 of these in Japan, I'm very confident this is the only one stateside. These motors are 2.0L EJ207s, with VF28 ball-bearing turbos. They produce around 240whp, use 4.44 FD 5spds, run high 12s, and rev to 8200 rpms.
Car is fully street legal, currently registered, insured and smogged.
Mileage: ~90km, 54k miles.
Color: Pure white
Location: Central Conn.
VIN: JF1GF2447PG801599
Mods:
v7 STi 10spoke rims w/ 75% Blizzacks
Cusco 1.5 way rear R180 LSD
Zerosports sway bars (24mm r, 22mm f)
Eifel endlinks, front and rear
Zerosports intake splitter
Zerosports rear strut bar
Zerosports axleback exhaust (sounds amazing!)
Zerosports intake pipe
Misc. STi silicone hoses
v6 front lip - genuine, painted to match
Slotted front rotors
CF door trim/shift ****
Factory boost gauge
v6 fog covers - genuine, painted to match
JDM titanium lug nuts (bling!)
I have many other extras I can include, such as a Defi gauge set, Zerosports rad shroud, etc.
A little history on this particular car. I started by buying a complete v6 STi in Japan. It was running and driving well at the time of purchase, and was never involved in an accident. I have the owners manual and some maintenance receipts from the cars past life. Also, I have extensive documentation - hundreds of pictures - to show how this car went together, available on request.
.
Next, I bought a '93 US Impreza shell with ~212k miles. I tore it down to the BARE frame - the only holdover 93 part is the headliner. The car was painted pure white from the ground up, and new undercoating was applied anywhere visible from the exterior. I cut out the LHD portions of the firewall on the US car and welded in replacement panels from the JDM firewall. The factory sound deadening was removed and replaced with 3M undercoating. I also used POR-15 to seal the factory sheet metal against rust. I then transfered the entire JDM drivetrain (which was not dissembled at any point) into the US shell, and replaced the body panels. The exterior of the US car was then repainted.
I cannot emphasize enough that this is a complete STi - everything from the molding-less doors, folding power mirrors, JDM road flare, lightweight carpet/glass, etc.. is from the v6 STi donor car, so it all works properly, down to the airbags, abs, etc. This isn't so much a swapped driveline as a swapped shell. Many of the driveline bolts have never even been touched as I just lowered the US chassis onto it.
I'd like to get $16k for the car as it sits. I feel this is a very fair price given the enormous amount of work invested in this shell and the rarity/condition of the parts attached to it. Please contact me on aim at atlasrsv4 or by email v6stiforsale@gmail.com.
Thanks!
