For sale
1999 MY00 WRX
Up for sale is my WRX, which I purchased as a bit of a project for myself - I wanted to get to the track a heap more with the WRX club of NSW, and wanted to build it strong so I could drive to the track, have a day full of laps, and drive home without having to worry too much about the car's reliability (i.e., get rid of all the MY00 gear!!!). Since June, I've been to the track exactly *zero* times!
However that won't be happening as my missus has started work in Canberra, and I will simply just not get the time to enjoy it and take it to the track! I'm in need of a car I can do bulk KMs in, and not worry about it not getting used like it should!
I purchased the car in June 2012, it had 192,000KMs on it.
At the time, the only mods it had was:
* JDM WRX RA Gearbox (4.44 ratio, great acceleration!)
* Anti lift kit
* King Springs
* Front and rear sways
* MY02 WRX wheels
Since I've had it, I've done a JDM 02 STI AVCS engine conversion on it, complete with 2002 STI loom so it has the STI ECU which you are able to do reflashes on, and keep stock drivability. The car now has 199,000KMs on it, however the engine has 55,000KMs on it.
The mods now are:
* JDM 2002 STI engine (EJ207, forged, AVCS, full 100,000KM service done on it - engine only has 55,000KMs)
* New Exedy 5 speed clutch (OEM)
* 2004 STI TMIC
* CBRD BBK turbo
* 3" PSR Turbo Inlet + SFB
* 3" Hitech turbo back exhaust
* KYB AGX adjustable suspension all round (put in 200KMs ago)
* H&R Springs (reds)
* Mongoose M60 Immobiliser / Alarm
* RDA Slotted rotors on the front (put in about 200KMs ago)
The mods list there, while only small, has added up to a fair bit of money - and has well and truly surpassed the my original purchase price of the car. There's a huge amount of labour in it, let alone the cost of parts. The price I'm offering the car at is more than some similar model cars, however you will be getting an excellent base of a car (with an impressive mod list), that has unreal performance, and massive potential - whether you drive as is, or put more money in to it! If you were to put more money in to it, the next port of call would be E85, bigger injectors and a retune.
As you can imagine, it goes very, very well. It has been tuned by Phatbotti tuning, at a quite safe 20PSI. Plenty of info / good stories on NASIOC.
The car has a minor issue, aircon needs a regas! It shouldn't be too hard for you to get an auto electrician to sort that out.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask away. I'm happy for serious buyers to come and inspect, I'm pretty flexible with that (work day shift). The price is firm, if it doesn't sell - I'll keep it - I still enjoy the car immensely, just cannot use it for what I originally intended to. Those who are seriously interested however, we can talk about the car & price, plus some other mods I have that I haven't gotten around to installing yet. This car suits a buyer who wants a serious GC8, with a great choice of mods!
I'm after $16,000.
Thanks for looking
