I bought this car from a friend of mine for a VERY nice price. I had driven the cars on a few occasions during the 48Hours drive and had concluded that when I bought my own Subaru I would try to create a replica of this car. Little did I know at that point I would be the owner of the exact car which I had figured on using as a model. At this point I need to thank my friend Kyle and his wife Kristen for the sweet deal they gave me on this car!

The car was purchased with the following modifications:

-JDM aluminum WRX hood
-WRX front brakes
-WRX rear swaybar
-2.5RS springs (lower ride height)
-KYB-AGX adjustable struts
-Exceed lightened flywheel (14lbs)
-Exceed stage 1 clutch
-WRX 6disc indash radio
-Kartboy short shifter
-2.5ltr short-block with 60K miles on it (not installed)

Along with the good came a few minor issues:

-1Qt. oil consumption every 1000 miles
-home-repaired front end (looked fine but still needed some finishing touches)
-unknown timing belt
-a brake issue narrowed down to the need of new pads
-some rust on the roof from a trim screw
-wobbley shifter knob
-leaky power steering pump
-no working A/C

All in all the few minor issue's were nothing much to be concerned about. The worst was the oil consumption which I had wanted to replace the engine with the larger 2.5ltr engine anyway and the stock 2.2ltr engine would last long enough for me to get that put together.
