So I am looking at selling my WRX. Not because I want to, but living conditions have changed recently and I cannot afford to keep her at this point in time. May consider swaps but prefer to sell. I bought the car back in February from a bloke in victoria, I have since then had it passed in NSW and now has NSW rego until May 2013.

Cosmetically has a few scratches, stone chips and a few little car park dings.

The WRX has 187,000 on the odometer, however was rebuilt with forged pistons and rods around 20,000 km ago, have receipts for rebuild by a shop called "Pro-tek" in melbourne. As for mods it has the following:

- Front Mount Intercooler

- Turbosmart Supersonic BOV

- VF34 turbo

- 770cc Injectors

- Walbro Fuel Pump

- Microtech LT10 ecu currently tuned for 196kw @ 19psi. I was planning to get it retuned as I think a few parts could be a bit better fine tuned but I just havent had the money to do it.

- Drift pod

- Turbo back exhaust

- STI 5 speed gearbox, diff and drive shafts.

- Lowered on Pedders shocks and Kings Springs

- Turbosmart Eboost Street (Electronic Boost Control)

- Radiator only 6 months old

Also has generic things like Keypad Alarm (as well as immobiliser/button alarm), Boost Gauge etc. I recently replaced the Fuel Filter, Thermostat and all exhaust gaskets from the Headers to the Dump Pipe as well, with Grimmspeed gaskets and thermostat.

Brand new turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid. I thought the old one was cactus so I bought a new one, turned out the wire that goes from the eboost to the solenoid had come off causing it to run on spring pressure.

It does have a tiny boost leak which starts to leak around 16-19psi. I think its probably somewhere in the intercooler piping or the bov but as you can guess, I havent had the money to get it looked at. I don't drive it that hard on a daily basis so I barely notice the leak is there.

Also has a decent soundsystem in it, but could use some better front speakers. Consists of:

- Pioneer double din head deck (dvd/mp3/bluetooth etc)

- Kicker Splits in the front

- Alpine Type R 6.5 inch speakers in the rear

- Alpine 600 watt 4 channel amp

- 2 x Kicker comp 10 subs

- Kicker 300 watt mono amp

I would be willing to take some cash off the sale without the soundsystem as I have a normal cd player I can put in etc.

Looking to try and get $11,000 ono.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
