If nothing anything else, it means the owner has given the car a lot of attention.


This guy is more likely to take his car in for it's regularly scheduled maintenance than some honger with a bone stock STI. He would also be the type to baby it with premium fuel and lubes and as you have seen, replacement parts.
lol you can drive your computer can you?


with a car like that, its gotta be maintained properly... lol just because he uses premium gas doesnt mean anything about how the guy drives the car.. unless OP gets all the paperwork of all the service history, and i do mean ALL as well as the documents of the parts that is actually installed, otherwise i wouldnt buy it..

$30k for a car that does 380hp at the wheels WITH meth injection...

It is a USDM car? owner says 40k miles. which is roughly 64K km

this is funny
Pls no tire kicker if you like I will do the test drive.
if theres is something wrong with it, he will try to avoid it...

380whp on an AWD car is nothing to scoff at when you consider parasitic loss through the drive train, and the meth injection is perfectly appropriate for the build.

Not sure why that's funny, it's a common clause included in sale ads for modified cars. If I were selling a heavily modified car with an aggressive suspension and a modified turbo engine, I wouldn't trust it in the hands of a driver who I know nothing about.

Few suspicious things:

Its a US car (its a pet peeve of mine)
Doesnt mention what turbo is used to push 380WHP (could be stock turbo, which means 23psi is really pushing the limits of the turbo despite him claiming running a low boost tune)
Engine's been swapped from the USDM 2.5L block to a JDM 2.0L block (i dont know why he would do that but most likely he blew his first engine, why settle for a JDM 2.0L block i dont understand)

The car DOES have all the handling and stopping goodies to it, its just the engine mods thats kind of iffy.

These r all my speculations based on what i have read on the CL ad, only the seller knows whats up

ps: that cars been on CL for over a year i believe, price dropped many times too

well, why doesnt the owner make it clear right off the bat, DEPOSIT require for test drive (XXXX amount), if you fuck something up, you loose the deposit... why would i buy a used car without personally test driving it.. heck even a new car people would want to test drive, not just sit in the passenger seat. If the buyer is not serious enough to put at least a couple thousand deposit, then it not worth the sellers time...

i'm sure it's case by case. if someone is serious, i'm sure test drives wont be out of the question.

guy took out the original motor, tossed in a (likely used) JDM motor, dumped on a tonne of bolt ons and chassis braced it out the wazoo and cranked the stock turbo and bottom end to 380 AWHP? for $110,000?

I don't know what's compatible across the two motors but I'm guessing he used a bunch of those parts to blow up the stock motor before putting them on this one?

almost every part is interchangable

lol value of the mods are often inflated to the max anyway whenever a buyer tries to sell the car. For instance, the guy can just buy used volk for 2k then says he bought new for 3k. Unless he can provide receipt of every single mod he bought that added up to 110k, it's just bunch of bs.

Plus, as Great68 mentioned above, dumping $110K into a Subaru

with $110,000, I'll buy a c63 and it will stomp that subaru anyday of the week in style and proformance, with an assload of money left over to put a down payment on a condo.

BUMP this thread again.
Going to do a VIN check tomorrow
Anyone know the previous owner or history of the car?
Former NASIOC member?
Been approved for car loan at the bank so if everything checks out ok this car should be mine. For sure I will post pictures right away!
I will probably want to do some sick photoshoots. Any photographers offering their services would be sweet

I wouldnt bother with that car. Once something goes wrong, you're going to have a hell of a time diagnosing it.

I'd buy this instead: 2006 Subaru Impreza Sti

with that much money invested and it turns out to be 380.. then i'll say the owner knows what he is doing.. i'm sure he can pump it up to 5-6 hundred with that kind of money but he didn't.

You joined just to post that.



Srsly though, the jdm motor and bolt ons are nice, and for the money it's not a bad car at all. BUT..... You best know what the hell you're doing around tuned Subarus if you're in the market for one as modified as that one is. It has good parts. It needs someone who can appreciate it.

I talked to the owner and I e-mailed him several times and believe me, he knows his shit. Not necessisarily need the extra HP but will come in good use for tracking in Mission. Thinking about lowering the boost for daily driving
Remember I can always part out the car too and make profit by parting individual parts on NASIOC or here. There is certainly value in this car since the owner invested so much into it. Economy is bad and I don't blame him so deals can be found if you look around hard enough

The owner wants deposit but I told him I want to take the car to my friends mechanic shop first. Wanna test for leaks mainly gasket seals etc..

Friend found this beauty: 1995 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo Holy Shit Cakes!!!

DECISIONS DECISIONS... Supra and GTR R34 have always been my dream cars, funny enough. Don't get me wrong I like STi's but 2JZ-GTE's is my favorite engine. So tempted to pull the trigger on the Supra TT
