Short description ... 2002 Subaru WRX with 800 WHP (as in Wheel Horse Power) when I was a member of
NASA.
This is not for a teenager which would kill themselves the 1st week. It is for someone familiar with turning a wrench. Imagine changing the plugs as often as the oil.
It is not turn key. Tho mostly "done", no mistaking that it is a project car. The fuel feed system sucks. Tumbler valves need to be removed. The pneumatic suspension system needs attention and is not operating (a relay needs replaced/burnished).
It has a Tokyo retired 2.5L engine that handles 50psi boost. Quaife front/rear diffs + Tarmac center diff. Straight cut gears w/o syncros in a finicky transmission (currently will *not* shift into reverse. Tuned headers (does not sound like a subie), Jet Hot coated & ThermoTech wrapped, dumping into 3 1/2" exhaust ...
Obviously does not have the stock ECU therefore non operational ODB port. It is replaced with an ECU that gives a 3D map of boost, RPM, etc. with multiple maps. It will not pass inspection in locales that use the ODB port. Walk around inspections, probably? It passed in PA counties that only had walk arounds.
Would anyone have interest in this if I posted it in the Exchange forum? Will not sell for $$ & thinking about an gun related exchange that is legal in CT
Inviting any kind of comment whether personally interested or not. I could post in a subie forum, but I don't think this beast has much $$ value. I have considered my hobby interests and think a gun exchange of some kind is most interesting to me.
Hopefully not crossing the line with the sys ops and maybe should have just posted in the Exchange forum? For now, I just want to test the water for interest as I am motivated to somehow unload this over the top car. It was so fun on the track, refer back to the NASA link at the beginning.
