(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)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make:

Subaru

Model:

WRX

Year:

1998

Kms:

292000

Registration:

OYL-802 (exp. 13/11/13)

Location:

Northcote, VIC

Contact:

0431320142 or PM

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.

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Engine:

EJ20k. Rebuilt at 241000kms (44000kms old), with reciepts. Making 217kw ATW.

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

BPM TMIC (not in picture)

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

As with most wrx's, the shifter is pretty sloppy. A set of shifter bushes would rectify the problem.

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)

Pulls up very well. 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. *** I've just picked up a V6 STI frontbar and lip that i could supply/fit/paint at an additional cost.

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.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
