Thank you for looking at my listing, this car has had a lot of work done so if I am missing anything or you have any questions please shoot me a message and I would be happy to answer it for you. This 2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS started its life as a Florida car, it was well cared for by the original owner and had all work done at the dealer. When I purchased the car it was in flawless condition, no rust at all (very rare on these cars) and no mechanical issues. My plans were to keep it bone stock and let it appreciate over time (http://thegarage.jalopnik.com/five-reasons-you-need-to-buy-a-subaru-impreza-2-5-rs-ri-1601310699 ) but I really wanted to do an STi swap. Almost 2 years later she was complete and looking amazing! I am not eager to sell the car nor in need of money so there is no real rush, my daily driver is a 911 so I dont really get to take the car out as much as I would like. Also there are a few new projects I want to get started with that would take this cars place in the garage. Before I go in to deep details on everything here are some of the basic questions I get; Its a hybrid STi swap, it still has factory 5 speed transmission, no mechanical issues at all, the chassis has about 280K miles on it but the built engine has less then 2000 miles, and yes the AC still works!!! Details on her: ENGINE Its a 2006 STi Shortblock with CP Pistons (Engine was built by local shop with fantastic reputation with Subaru's)WRX Heads (new from Subaru direct and all properly machined over before install)STi Manifold & STi Intercooler VF48 Turbo (This came out of a 2016 STi with less than 2K miles on it)Invidia Catless Down PipeCobb (type) Cat Back Exhaust 2016 STi Blue Injectors (Walbro fuel pump)STi Radiator with custom iWire mounting bracket/shroud SPT Intake iWire harness (so there is no chopped half assed harness throughout the car)Cobb Access Port with ProTune for custom setupBaffled STi Fuel TankProdrive Battery Tie Down (Gold)Prodrive Oil Filler Cap (Gold)New Optima Gel Battery Brakes & Suspension JDM 4 Pot Brakes (Front) with Stoptech Cross-Drilled RototsSubaru Legacy H6 rear brakes with Stoptech Cross-Drilled RotorsStoptech Stainless brake lines (front and rear)JDM STi version 5 (RED) struts with Prodrive SpringsWhiteline Front & Rear Swaybars (24mm)Whiteline Swaybar EndlinksWhiteline Anti-lift KitWhiteline Bushings all around Interior Custom re-done RS seats (Red & Black)STi Steering Wheel (Airbag not hooked up - horn does work)OEM Carbon Fiber Look TrimProdrive Floor MatsOEM Subaru Extended Center Armrest Carbon Fiber Gauge SurroundNew WRX Black Carpet LED Light Upgrades (all bulbs) Complete Kartboy shifter bushing kit with Short Shifter (no slop or play at all) Custom Alcantara Shift BootJDM STi 5 Speed Shiftnob (Leather and Aluminum)Prodrive Trunk MatOEM Lamco Boost Gauge *** I do have a center 3 pod gauge mount with Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Boost (all electric) that just has not been installed yet. If the car goes for the right price I will toss this in free ***Pioneer Touch Screen Head Unit with HD Radio and Sirius XM (also has USB input)OEM STi Pedal set with iWire Drive by Wire adaptor kit Exterior New Paint Job - The car had many scratches and chips in the paint so the car was recently completely re-done in OEM color. 3 Coats of Paint & 3 Coats of Clear CoatImpreza GT Fog Lights (these have a blueish look during day, but give off a bright yellow color when on)Subaru Front Lip (Painted)Custom Carbon Fiber side intake scoops (They are open and help draw air into the SPT intake on one side and cooling on the other)*** I will also include a set of OEM STi 22b (paint matched) vents if you dont like the scoops (you can see both in the pictures) ***STi over-sized Carbon Fiber Hood Scoop (paint matched)Crystal Amber side markers JDM Rear SpatsJDM Rear TaillightsProdrive RB5 Spoiler (with LED)Custom RSTi BadgeBBS Gold 22b Look Wheels (16" with new Tires) - Very Light with Gold Matched Wheel Locks & Lug NutsRally Armor Mud Flaps (Black with Red Lettering)Carbon Fiber Hood Struts Additional Details 1) The car has no mechanical issues at all. It did have a problem with the steering rack having an air leak, I had local Subaru dealer install brand new Rack, Pump and lines so everything is in mint condition now (this was done less than 800 miles ago). 2) ICE COLD AC!!! 3) It does have the OEM 5 speed transmission in it, but has a new Exedy HD Clutch Kit so there is no slipping with the extra power. Plans were to do a 6 speed at some point, but after researching I found lots of people with STi swaps ran the 5 speed no issues as long as you put good gear oil in and dont slam through gears or hard launch. 4) Car has been locally tuned and is setup fairly conservative as I wanted something you could jump in and drive to work with AC on and have no issues. She is set to peak at 24 lbs of boost and taper down to 18 lbs, she pulls like a freight train when you need her to and drives very smooth when you are just cruising. 5) When the engine was done we had new Timing Belt, Water Pump and Tensioner done. Also all fluids and plugs were replaced less than 1000 miles ago (Transmission, Brake and Differential)6) The passenger window was having the common slow movement issue, replaced the motor with new unit and it has no issues now. 7) The car has a Moon Roof and it does not leak 8) The car has a clean Florida title As I stated before if I am missing anything or you have any questions just let me know. The car is fantastic and has no issues, but due to its nature it is being sold AS-IS with no warranty. I would advise anyone come look at it and drive it to see how great it is. You may notice some subtle differences in the pictures posted, I have swapped wheels and some external parts just to see what I liked the look of. The list above is what will come on the car, if you wish to have anything changed or swapped please let me know as we can discuss including them or swapping out. Thank you and good luck!

On May-05-16 at 19:30:06 PDT, seller added the following information: Wanted to add a few items as they have come up a several times; 1) Please dont ask me what the reserve is. Bid!!! If it goes over the reserve great, if not it wasn't meant to be for you :) - I have told most that I may pull or reduce the bed as auction gets closer and bids increase. 2) Yes the car has a clean FL title, I have it in hand (its not salvage) and ready to sign over to winner. 3) The car is not perfect, as you can see from the pics there are some scuffs/scratches inside and on the outside the window trim has some scratches and cracks. Its still a 15 year old car, but all in all its in good condition and some of the issue can be easy fixes. 4) The trunk opens and closes fine with spoiler, it has the correct tension springs. 5) I do have most of the stock parts that have been replaced so if the winner wants them we can work out pricing or swapping parts if you like. 6) There are no cracks in the glass and the window tint is in great condition (less than a year old) 7) The interior also has a rare JDM OEM Subaru Red Hazard button... Small detail but worth mentioning as they are rare to come upon today. 8) The bulbs in Fog's and Headlights are extremely white PIAA lights. It has amazing night visibility. 9) There are no issues with wheel bearings. They have all been recently replaced 10) There is a small rattle inside the glovebox, my understanding from RS25.com is there is a metal plate inside that comes loose and needs to be tightened. It seems to come and go so I never bothered with it, besides its a Subaru... No one buys a Subaru for its quiet interior :)
