RASpec Impreza 2.0 The car is a 2002 Subaru WRX “bugeye” chassis purchased in 2011 and fully restored from 2013 to 2015. The car was built by DENT Sport Garage and German Performance Service in Massachusetts. The car is “turn-key” ready for racing. Sale Terms The car is for sale, but I’m thinking of this sale more as an adoption than as a sale. I’m looking for someone who plans to enter it in serious races or track days. I wont be excited to sell the car to someone who plans to part it out. The car is a full race car, and is not street legal, as such the car will be sold “as-is”. The car is currently garaged in Somerville, Massachusetts, USA. Domestic and international shipping can be arranged. Chassis The chassis is a 2002 model year, GDA/B code. The restoration began with a complete tear-down. Everything not welded to the chassis was removed, tagged and inspected. Anything not required for racing such as the interior and OEM suspension was sold. Anything worn was cataloged, and new factory OEM replacements were ordered (such as chassis gommets and rubber window seals). The paint and rubberized under-body weatherproofing was removed by media-blasting and sanding. Next the chassis was fully seam-welded. Finally the roll cage was built and the car was freshly painted white. WEIGHT: 2762 lbs CAGE: SCCA multi-point rollcage CHASSIS: The entire chassis has been seam-welded Chassis underbody, during restoration, seam-weld and painting after media-blast. Engine The RASpec Impreza engine is a JDM EJ207 WRX STI 2-liter engine running the Tomei 2.2l stroker kit. The Tomei 2.2l stroker kit was chosen as it is complete with pistons, rods and the lightened, custom journaled crankshaft. The heads are sourced from a JDM Spec-C WRX STI that come from the factory with larger ports, and factory polished. Engine bay. The engine was built to tolerances provided by the team running the Cusco / Tomei / Voltex Time Attack Impreza as they use the same engine stroker kit. The intake side has a custom fabricated front mounted intercooler (design is inspired by the Subaru Impreza WRC S10 design) pressurized by a Garrett GT3076R turbo using a TiAL GT30 turbine housing to feed the reverse mounted JDM STI intake manifold (no TGVs). Engine intake and turbo. Intercooler detail. The turbo wastegate is a TiAL MR-R 44mm. The turbo uses the TiAL V-Band Clamp and Flange System to allow full 306 degree rotation for optimal turbo positioning. Put simply: “Its dope as fuck”.

I just just recently upgraded from a 2001 Impreza 2.5RS to the 2004 “blobeye” WRX. Shortly after I signed up for my first track event with the BMW-CCA and was totally addicted to track events. A month later I caged my car and began its migration from a humble street car to a battle-tested time attack machine. The full history of the build process is available on NASIOC. The "RASpec Impreza 1.0" racing at Summit Point in the Redline Time Attack series, 2010. I raced the RASpec 1.0 at COM Time Trial events, the Redline Time Attack series, the BMW Sports Car Club track events, and New England Hillclimb series. A crash at a New England Hillclimb Race Series in 2010 ended the useable life of the “RASpec Impreza 1.0”, and I began searching for a “bugeye” Impreza to use as a new chassis for the “2.0” version of the RASpec Impreza. In 2011 I found a “bugeye” WRX that would serve as the perfect base for a new race car. The bugeye was parted-out and stripped, and the build of my second race car began. It was only fitting that it be called the “RASpec Impreza 2.0”. The key features of the 2.0 version that were improvements over the 1.0 version were as follows: Fully stripped, media-blasted, caged and seam-welded chassis in order to reduce weight and increase rigidity Simplify turbo and intercooler setup to reduce maintenance and increase air flow The resulting product of the build is a car that is lighter, faster and easier to maintain than the first race car. The “RASpec Impreza 2.0” is a better overall car, it takes the best aspects of the 1.0 and simplifies until there is nothing else to take away— creating a minimalist race-ready track platform. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions Why are you selling it? I recently bought a house in the city, so don’t have a garage or parking space to keep the race car, my pickup truck or my trailer. What makes the car track-only? Its a fully-built race car, so its been stripped to the bare essentials. This means no headlights, no wiper bottle, no seatbelts (harness only), no OEM seat brackets, no ODB-II. Do you have the title? Yes. The VIN number is JF1GD29642G507991 and it had one owner before me. The title is clean, no accidents. Feel free to run a CarFax. What does it need to go racing? I would get new tires, bleed the brakes and adjust the alignment. Alignment should be set to your preferences for how you like the car to turn-in and rotate. You may want to adjust the ride-height as well. How many track miles on it? None. The chassis has 0 track miles on it, and the engine has been freshly rebuilt. The only “time” its seen is on the dyno while it was being tuned. How much horsepower does it make? That depends on which ECU map you run. Currently it’s running a conservative base map dialed for 350 wheel horse power at 20lbs of boost. This tune was done at Synaptic3 Performance for a practice day where we were focusing on suspension setup and were not racing. The previous tune made 400whp at 23lbs of boost. On dyno testing its made much more at higher boost, but we’ve dialed it back to increase engine longevity. Using the same engine parts, tolerances and turbo, Cusco / Tomei / Voltex made 500whp.
