this car + sti ecu and your away laughing
/quote]
what do you mean by that?
it already has the yellows, orange afm and vf22, so put the 6S ecu in there and the output will be near enough STI spec... that said, your heads are still probly WRX heads (interesting point thinking out loud - did they get sti or wrx heads).. and the internals wont be forged.
umm not to sure about the heads, i do know the block was boared to fit the pistons. thats about it. it did say it had 0.25 pistons put into it on the reciept
-
But then if you wait for a cheap STi, if it's too cheap you'll wonder what's wrong with it and whether it will last very long before going boom! At least with this one you have a bit of knowledge that a rebuild has been done by one of the more reputable places around, so you'd hope it wouldn't have any more engine trouble for at least another 150k
I'd say offer $7700, and you'll probably haggle his asking price down to 8k.
But yes there have been a lot cheaper cars for sale recently, but it's often about what's available at the time. If you are patient, then definitely wait.
yeah ill see what he says to that offer, but yeah i reckon it only should be 8g for it
yeah i dont want to go tooo cheap for an sti though cos then usually they wont last for very long at all, i know what u mean by that, been there already and done that, worse time in my life lol.

IMO I think it's an ok deal, I would hold out for an STI. Have seen STI's with far less k's on a rebuild for an extra k or so.... All up it's not bad, but I'd do it for 7.5k and no way for 9k.
lol the hold out for an sti is really starting to get too me lol, dont know how much longer i can hold out for lol. yeah i thought 9k was a bit too much myself

was a forged rebuild as the block was bored out to fit new pistons.

The car has also recently had an engine rebuild at Armstrong Subaru at a cost of $7691.00 (fully reciepted) done at 121,479 km's.
lol. Well at $100/hour it's no suprise it cost that much. There aren't many MORE expensive places he could've had it done I'm sure
Whilst a little on the pricy side, it's not that bad of a deal. Just make sure that it does indeed have a vf22 and yellows etc. Those coilovers alone saves you $1500+ over getting them yourself later and it should be decently reliable (for a subaru) since it's had a rebuild.
yeah im sure it had yellows because i could see yellow on the injectors so i know for sure they are yellow, as for the vf22 i couldnt really read the writing on the turbo, but felt turbo kick in at 3300rpm and that normally when a vf22 turbo kicks in doesnt it?
Mine's closer to 3000rpm than 3300rpm but yeah sounds about right then
yeah i reckon its a vf22 aye. still was real tidy and all of that. sounded better than my v7 wrx that i say so my dad said lol. but yeah does the price sound all good for it though? thats what im wondering?

whats your thoughts positive/negative about this car?
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=290842768
went for a test drive/inspection of it in the weekend and dad said it sounded great, no unusual noises etc. seller wanting between 8500 and 9000.
im swaying at purchasing it, but just thought id ask what the club thought.
cheers

Im from wellington
-
yup ive pm'd familyman about his sti.
cheers
-
i noticed the roof vent as well, and i thought only RA's came out with those?
-
they don't give much detail about the newer sti version car. i have emailed them for more info etc. yes im surprised at how low they are selling it for(makes me think it might be faulty). i know its been smoken in(picture of a packet of cigarettes on passengers seat). might have a lookie on carjam
-
the first one has been slightly modified and it has been down the strip before so im guessing that would mean that its been pushed to possibly its max. the 2nd one is a newer version, but i don't know if they have thrashed it etc, and they give a very blunt description on the car and that doesn't help me much at all. although the 2nd car does have the more stronger gearbox
-
just added another car to the list. just trying to find a lowish kms sti
-
hmm that makes the dude sound a bit dodgy then lol.
