Up for sale is my MY97 Subaru WRX, a mechanically immaculate example of one.

Only tasteful modifications on this one. A close friend of mine is an ex Capital Subaru mechanic and WRX enthusiast, and helped me pick this example out of many.

I have owned this car for one year, after buying it from a mature Sydney owner. Reason for selling is I am looking to calm down from the "0 – 100 in less than 6 seconds" acceleration and looking for something a little easy on the fuel. I am interested in swapping for a stock, low kilometres, Mazda NB MX-5 with cash either way.

The car is always fed premium oil (only 98+ octane goes in him) and serviced at a Subaru specialist (Subaroo Servicing Mitchell). I have all service records, and receipts for all work done to prove it.

The Good:

  • New Radiator


  • New 3 " turbo back exhaust with 2.5" tip (because of noise)


  • Well below average kms for its age


  • 17" rims


The Bad:

  • Minor stone chips on bonnet


  • Scrapes and scruffs found on cars of this age


If you are interested, give me a call any time. If I am sleeping/at work/driving I will get back to you as soon as I can. Only specialists touch her.

Price is 12990 negotiable. Located in Canberra

No test pilots please. Genuine buyers only.

Call Benn on 0404 362 655

Would you be interested in swaps for a R33 gtst?

Look in my topics.

If everyone could ignore the tattered Nardi steering wheel, it has since been replaced with a nice "drift" steering wheel (nice and chucky like an M3's, but not to heckticzzzzz) but I haven't the time to take pictures.

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
