Vic - Tidy My98 Wrx With Fruit - $7500 Or Swaps


Recommended Posts

PRICE DROP FROM $9000! I will not go any lower than $7500! Consider the price $9k, but then i've done the haggling for you. Swaps considered, preferably for a fuel efficient car.

Make:
Subaru
Model:
WRX
Year:
1998
Kms:
286000
Registration:
OYL-802 (exp. 13/05/13)
Location:
Northcote, VIC
Contact:
0431320142 or PM
Price: $7500 FIRM!! or swaps
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Engine:
EJ20k. Rebuilt at 241000kms (44000kms old), with reciepts.
VF22 turbo with turbo beanie
Walbro GSS342 fuel pump
ASI silicone intake
K&N Panel filter
90mm PVC intake trumpet on standard airbox
3" Xforce turbo back exhaust, dump pipe heat wrapped, into a Hitech single tip oval muffler

The engine seems to be in great condition and goes very well. There doesn't appear to be any engine leaks or weird noises.

Driveline:
V4 STI 5 speed gearbox and diffs (4.44)
Standard spec. organic clutch

The gearbox seems to be in good condition, with no real grinds or anything. It sometimes feels like it could engage 2nd easier, most likely due to worn shifter bushes... the shifter is quite sloppy. There appears to be a bit of a leak from the very rear of the gearbox and is most likely due to a worn output shaft seal. I'm very conscious of the gearbox when driving, and never launch or shift hard.

Suspension
BC BR gold series coilovers (less than 5000kms old)
BC adjustable camber tops front and rear
Whiteline 24mm rear sway bar (standard front)
Street/aggressive alignment by Centreline Suspension

The car handles really well.

Brakes
GD 4 pot front calipers (painted black) with standard rotors
Intima SR front brake pads
Standard single pot rears (painted black)

I broke part of the right hand side handbrake assembly when upgrading the brakes, so had to remove it from the hub. My handbrake therefore does not work at the moment. It hasn't bothered me so far, but i did plan to either fix the assembly, find a spare one, or install a hydraulic handbrake. The Intima SR pads are pretty new and are suitable for temps up to 700C (ie. track).

Wheels and Tyres:
16x7" MY98 WRX 5 spoke wheels
Bridgestone RE001 tyres (205/50r16)

Tyres are in pretty good condition, as are wheels.

Exterior:


Standard except for:
MY99 headlights
MY99 grill (needs to be colour coded)
MY99 rear spoiler (needs to be colour coded)

The body is pretty straight, with the odd small bump here and there. The car has been resprayed at some stage and looks pretty good when clean. There is however some area where the clear coat has blistered. The roof has completely lost it's clear coat. The boot has a blister of about 20x20cm and the rear a-pillar has one of about 7x20cm. I've also just added a MY99 grill and spoiler, and these have just been quickly rattle canned black. I could help organise paint repairs and colour coding for around $500.

Interior:
Fire extinguisher mounted on transmission tunnel, below rear seat
Pioneer head-unit
Kenwood 6" front speakers
Pioneer 6"x9" rear speakers
Pioneer amp
Grey cloth on seats has been dyed black

The interior is in pretty good condition.

Above is a description of how the car will be setup when sold. The car currently has additional modifications fitted (which will be removed before sale). These include:

Power FC and hand controller, tuned by Pro-Tek Automotive for e85
Eboost street (40psi)
Five-O-motorsports 1000cc sidefeed injectors
V4 STI 90mm AFM
Car makes 217kw ATW with this setup

... with the standard ecu, etc, fitted the car won't be making 217kw, but should be making good power over stock due to the VF22, exhaust, and intake. The handling and braking capability is much better than stock too. Even without 217kw, it's still a quick, great handling and stopping street car that could handle the track too.

Let me know if you'd like the car in it's current modified state! ($9000 FIRM)

I don't really want to sell my car... I've spent quite a bit of time and money on the car in the last 12 months. Unfortunately though, a decision to further my study this year means I don't think i can afford to hang onto it. My build thread (link below) should give you some good info on the car. I don't think it would need much for a roadworthy. It passed a RWC less than a year ago. If you have any questions, or would like to check it out, please don't hesitate to contact me.

**** If you really want the car for less than $7500, I could remove a few more parts, however replacement parts will not be fitted. I could remove the following parts: Exhaust (minus $500), Rear swaybar (minus $100), Front brakes ($400), Wheels/tyres (minus $250), Coilovers (minus $700), Turbo (minus $400), MY99 headlights (MY98 ones re-fitted - minus $200).

AD UPDATED!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(03/05/13) I've just had the car in at Protek where I had the handbrake fixed, gearbox leak (rear extension housing) fixed, Engine and gearbox oil change, and roadworthy inspection ($884). I've also just added 6 months registration ($290)

Price: Prices are absolutely FIRM. I had already reduced the prices as low as I would go, and have since spent $1100 on it.

$6500 Standard: turbo, ecu, injectors, AFM, TMIC, exhaust.
$7000 VF22, STI ecu/AFM/injectors.
$7500 VF22, STI ecu/AFM/injectors, 3" TBE.
$8000 VF22, STI ecu/AFM/injectors, 3" TBE, BPM TMIC.
$9000 In its current modified form.

+$500 for paint repairs
+$1000 V6 STI front bar and lip painted/fitted, plus paint repairs

WILL CONSIDER TRADES!
Preferably s13/14/15's, rx7's, etc, but will consider others. Can add some cash on top for the right trade.

RWC: I can supply a RWC at the buyers expense. The following items have been identified as needing addressing:

-1 seat belt has some fraying. I was advised this could be fixed with a lighter.
-Exhaust too loud and too low. Temporarily fitting a standard one would be cheapest/easiest option.
-Rear diff slightly weeping oil. I was advised that washing it would be fine.
-Rear bar loose. I had a tow bar removed and apparently some bolts were not but back in place. Easy fix!
-Brake lines aren't clipped to coilovers.
-Front swaybar link bushes need replacing.
-LHF wheel bearing needs replacing. A secondhand hub could be the cheapest/easiest.
-Wiper blades.
-LHF power window too slow. It seems fine to me. I was advised just to lube it up.

    • I'm a lifelong home drummer, was in a couple of bands as a teenager/early 20's then moved to Japan and didn't play at all until 2019 when my missus and I were invited to check out the band room upstairs at a restaurant cafe here in JP. They had a full acoustic drum kit and they let me have a bash for about 20 mins. I went away from there wondering how I could not play for 19 years.... Missus bought me a e-drum kit a few weeks later (Yamaha DTX402) which is basic but lets me play at home in my tiny Japanese house.  Also have an Epiphone Les Paul and little Vox amp and delay pedal I bought for the missus because she wanted to learn to play the guitar, but she never got into it. That was about 8 years ago. I taught myself to play some 80's U2 song riffs like the Fly solo, etc and some other things but being a drummer I don't really have the dexterity in the fingers lol. Ham fisted if you will. So I kind of just mess around with the guitar rather than try to seriously play complete songs. My son on the other hand inherited all my side of the family's musical talent and is a brilliant classical pianist at 16 years old. He'll go on to do something in the music industry here for sure once he finished his schooling. I got him a Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano earlier this year.
    • If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?
    • You mean a rich spike, as the air has been metered multiple times due to the turbulent air, you end up injecting more fuel causing a momentary dip in torque and quite possibly a stall event. TL;DR, install a Haltech Elite or S3 or R3, convert to DBW, throw all ancient shit into the bin and enjoy the car.
    • Can you pull logs of the actual idle fluctuations? The previous logs you posted didn't show any idle issues. Also if you can log idle duty cycle, idle state, injector duty cycle
