Thanks toddles!

loan just went through on the NEW RS.


Specs:

2000 subaru impreza 2.5rs
2 door
87k
leather interior which will be pulled out for my 02-03 wrx seats.

Mods planned tonight after I pick the car up after work;
CF hood, Version 6 grill, tail light swap put my stereo in.



I cannot thank Aaron Benjamin enough for selling me his RS! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You made my dreams and wishes come true!

so far I am already saving $260/month with this cheaper car. I havnt even heard what my insurance will be. but baauuggghh. what ever. lol

Stay tuned for a fast build and alot of pictures.

Community, I am BACK!

I'm excited as hell to have the old Dougy Fresh back!! Can't wait to go pick her up tonight and start the modding

Dougy ill get that picker over to ya tonight.

take goooooood care her dougy!!!!!!!!!
i miss herr already

Nice car for a kid my age lol... i wouldn't have sold it.

Lookin sexy dougie.
Got that front bumper for me yet?!

'Took the Reverse scoop off.



Swapped the Headlights out as well.


Tomorrow I have to completely rewire the speakers, from the headunit back.

I found out that there is JL 8" subs in the rear door cards. I will amp all of my speakers for treble, then have the 8" subs hooked up, along with my Alpine 12" subwoofer. Dynamat is on every panel already. Stoked about that.

Hooked up my rear break light.

I will paint and install my rear JDM Spats tomorrow.

Debating on ditching the leather seats for my cloth 03 WRX seats. . . .

Stay tuned!

He is purchasing a Silver 2 door RS out of Oregon.

nice, Oregon is one of my top 3 favorite states tied with mt. Trailblazers ftw. When ever i visit Portland i see the most b.a. imports, tons of evos, sti's, bimmers, alot clean hondas too, nice rides.

Why yes i would dougie. i'll text you sometime this week

solid. its unpainted too.

alright. Sweet. Hey, do you have a pic of it so I can see exactly where is cut out for the FMIC? I am thinking the front bar that goes across the opening in the middle, but maybe in the back?

it is cut into the fog lights and the front 'bar' is cut out. along with liscence plate mount. le me find a picture.... hhhrrrmmmmm.....


OLD PICTURES










Hope that is enough pictures... haha

ya, nice. that should work. sweet. i'll holla at ya soon.

Quick update:

EJ22 (old motor) is pulled and sold.

"New" motor (turbo 2.0l WRX motor) sits beautifully in the new car. I notched the crossmember rather then replace with the turbo crossmember. I have picture, but.. I am too tired to post them(3am.....)

Goal by Thursday;

-Have wiring harness plugged in and all other little loose ends tied up (swapping more interior pieces, get my key-less entry working properly, new fluids etc.

I will have more parts up for sale.. this time with more pictures..

I am excited for subie sunday to reveal my RS.

Beautiful pic Luke

me likey!

Thanks LUKE!!!!! WOOO.

I have to do a smidge more trimming.






Now to pull apart the dash and swap wiring!

Wooooot!

prrreeeeettttty sick

Gutting the interior took roughly 1.5 hours.


I quit at 2:00am and started clean up. I work from 8-5; after work I will resume progress on the car. I should be able to get it running tomorrow night.

I now have a stock RS Wiring Harness and ECU for sale $350+shipping and 3% pay pal fee. (shipping is roughly $25-MAX$40) I can give shipping quote to whom ever will need it. This has not seen Nasioc yet....

I'll probably stop by tonight to check out the progress and discuss your safety issues

I keep smashing my dman fingers, so safety will need to be discussed! lol

looks like fun!!! The whole time I was working on rewiring the 240 I was telling myself I was having fun.... Now that I am back to driving a nice factory car (my new g35) I relize I must have been huffing gas or something! I did learn a lot, but driving is so much more fun!

Good luck on the progress it looks clean so far!

Amen. The work sucks. But the finished product is soooooo worth it. I do miss my STi, only beacause ithad a nicer interior. For now....

So.. after 1 week of long long days and nights, I completed the swap.

It still has 3 issues.
-power steering pump i still bad and needs to be replaced
-Still have a major exhaust leak
-power locks are not working anymore.. have to investigate that..

Mods that I need to complete:
Gauges, boost, oil pressure, EGT etc.

I am waiting to post pictures.. I would like it to be @ page 2 first.. I have quite a few to load.
