Ok guys, its a long shot but i've been trying to get back into an E30 as I really regret selling mine. So...I'm looking to sell or possibly trade (would actually love to trade) my project 2000 GC8 Impreza 2.5RSTI.
Heres the list of the goodies:
2000 GC8 2.5rs in Alpine White, 4 Door. It has a USDM EJ257 STI Complete Engine & Drivetrain Swap (uber fun swap...). Shes not a show queen, but does clean up well, and is fun in the twisties. Has roughly 100k on body, & engine mileage is unknown, but compression/leak of engine prior to install was good, and was minor refreshed (gaskets/seals/general maintenance) before installed.
Engine/Drivetrain:
- 2004 STI EJ257 Swap (CA Bar'd) (Stock Long Block w/vf39)
- 2004 6 Speed swap w/ full DCCD & Stock controller, stock clutch flywheel.
- 2004 R180 Rear Differential
- 2006 STI Hub & Knuckle & Axle upgrade (5x114.3 vs 5x100), more Beef, better wheel options.
- 2006 STI Goldie Brembo Brakes (Front & Rear) w/ Stainless Steel Brake lines
- Subaru Factory Short Shifter (actually works well)
- Full Turbo Back Exhaust (Grimmspeed w/HFC Mated to Blitz Nur Spec-R Exhaust)
- Cobb CARB Legal Intake w/ Filter Box
- Cobb Bypass Valve (50/50 or Full Re-circulation)
- Cobb Access Port V3 w/ 2 Pro Tunes (GST Motorsports/Mike Warfield), 100 octane tune: 300whp 300wtq & 91octane: 255whp 270wtq
- Koyo R2218 Race Aluminum Radiator w/ 2 1200+cfm fans (stays nice & cool)
- Rallitech Slam Plate for Radiator
Suspension/Wheels & Tires:
- 2002 20mm Wrx Rear swaybar & endlinks
- BC BR Coilovers Custom to run w/ STI Hub/Knuckles w/ Front & Rear Camber plates & Custom Swift Springs @ 10k/8k (she's stiff, but not unbearable)
- JDM V6 Aluminum Front Control Arms & Control Arm Bushings
- STI Limited Wheels painted black (lazy...) w/ Hankook RS3 v2: 225/45R17
- Cusco Rear Sub-Frame Brace
Exterior:
- Seibon Carbon Fiber Front Lip (C-West Replica)
- JDM V6 STI Fog Light Covers w/ STI Decals (real deal, hard to find...)
- JDM V6 Rear Bumper Spats (They are raw, unpainted but look good)
- JDM V6 Front Grill w/ Pink I-Badge
- JDM V6 Front Clear/Crystal Headlamps & Corners (looks better then USDM)
- JDM V6 Rear Tail Lights (No amber, Looks Cleaner IMHO)
- 06-07 GD STI Rear Diffuser
- Bakemono V6 STI Replica CF Spoiler/Wing
Interior:
Nothing... Stock RS Interior, Swapped over 2004 STI Cluster for ease during wiring, so its not a clean fit to stock RS Cluster housing, but its not bad.
Has functioning A/C & Heat. It also has the V7/04 STI Steering wheel installed w/ Lamco Factory Boost Gauge & Pod on steering column cover.
Known Issues:
- ABS is disabled, its terrible anyways and quite frankly the way its setup is unnecessary (IMHO)
- Rear Differential Temp sensor not hooked up, I was lazy and didn't want to run the wire...either way, if you see that indicator come on its too late so why monitor it.
- Descent Crack in windshield on Driver Side (near A-Pillar), all the glass is original in the vehicle, I never fixed the windshield as its not on the driver side & doesn't bother me.
- Driver side window regulator bushings are worn, so it makes noise (frame) when rolling window up & down. No issues w/ window operation, its just rattles a touch when going up. Once again, never bothered me.
I'm sure there's some stuff Im forgetting, but thats the gist of it. Like I said earlier, shes no show car she was purpose built for fun driving in the hills and back roads. It handles quite well and surprises a lot of people when they drive in it. Mechanically its solid & has had its general maintenance to the engine & transmisison (prior & after swap). She gets tons of thumbs up on drives (especially the Subaru Purists) and when I tell people its also CA Bar'd it makes it that much nicer.
I can take more photos of the vehicle for potential people that might be interested in Trading for an E30. I'm hoping someone is willing to trade for a late model 88-91 E30 2 or 4 door, w/ s5x or possibly m5x swap w/ ZF Trans. LMK what you have as I am open to all options (even Turbo m20 or ETA/SuperETA) or Track Purpose built E30. If I were to stick a $$$ value on my car, I'd probably list it for $14-15k due to it being Bar'd (plenty of EJ swapped GC's, but not to many CA Bar'd)
Vehicle is located in Northern Californina.
