Waiting to see if Scott still wants the car. I'll post for the next person in line if he says no.

Come on Scott, buy Phil's old car and bring it to this area. I got the wonderful pleasure of helping work on modifying it (WRX intercooler install) during it's many upgrade transitions. You know Matt & I have your back on any repairs you need done...

I talked to Edwin yesterday. The car is officially for sale again.

Here's the long-and-short.

What's broken:

Nothing is really broken. The car seems to run strong, no stumbles, and it still pulls like a deamon. It's running safe AFR's and feels great.

The speedo cable IS broken, so the car has no VSS input. Thus, there are a few check engine lights associated with it. Edwin has a new speedo cable, so that will probably be a non-issue. Even with the CEL's, the car still runs very well, and there don't seem to be any negatives. What the ECU would want to pull out, aftermarket controllers add back in.

It also needs a new flywheel, from what Edwin told me. That's also a non-issue. Edwin will fix that in no time.

I think that's all I noticed with it when I saw it.

It's running a stock 2002 WRX transmission at the moment, AWD, and it's going strong. The car is daily driven, which bodes for it's reliability.

Edwin is pretty busy, so you can PM me offers.

The auction tag starts at $3200, and the car is sold as-is.

I am simply helping a friend sell his car.

What aftermarket eletronics are running on the car?

The DTec and JECS maf. The ECU has no control over fuel.

It figures things work out this way. I just get done spending a chunk on my car and this one comes up for sale. I want it. It should be mine considering how long I waited for it but what am I supposed to do now? Grrrr.

dropdfocus · Post by **dropdfocus** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 5:54 pm

Um, sell a kidney and ask Matt to sell his for good measure too. That should cover the asking price right?

So, the car is still for sale?

How can I get ahold of Edwin (the phone seems to be useless)?How can I get my slimy paws on some more photos of the car? And more specs that are current?
What parts are currently on the car? (i.e. what has changed from the last thread, the new thread, etc.)

I'm workin' on it...I just need to figure out whether to fly over and drive it home, or ship it.

Hmm...anyone? Anybody here have experience shipping automobiles?

Helpin Edwin sell the car. He's busy and doesn't get forum time at all.

I'm figuring out a way to fly over and drive her home...the car is almost mine...(I just hope Edwin doesn't sell it before I get the chance to pick it up...)

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Sun Jul 29, 2007 3:06 pm

Good deal, I'll talk to him and make sure he sets you up.

thatswhatshesaid · Post by **thatswhatshesaid** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 12:43 am

I called Edwin last week about the car...I really want it - I just need to work out a time when I can take a few days off work to do it. Plus I need to buy airfare.

Hey, BAC5.2 (Phil?), do you know the status of the car pretty well? Would it be good for a 2500-mile trip back to WA? I am really scared of breaking down in the middle of South Dakota or something...is this car capable of it? I mean, I trust the Edwin and all, I just need more opinions to feel safe about it. You know what I mean? What do you think?

Thanks,
- Tyler

Also, does it have a stereo? Because driving for 36 hours without one will SUCK...

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 5:25 pm

As far as I know, it's got a stereo. I think he put one in when he bought it from me.

As for making the 2500 mile trip back, it'll probably do it.

I haven't owned the car for a long time, and it's changed a lot since I did own it. I can't guarantee you that it'll make it, but I don't see why it wouldn't. It never left me stranded for any serious problem.

I wish I wasn't in such a pinch with this beast I've got...

My advice for him would be the AAA gold plan. Free 100 mile tow. Don't drive an old, modded car without it!

I'd truck it. It'd probably run you about another grand but you'll dump at least 2/3rds that going out and driving it back anyways.

My brother flipped the car in West Virginia last night. It is totaled. I have to upload the pics and i'll post them up. Rolled it onto its roof at over 60mph. I am quite heart broken about the car. I really didn't even want to sell it. I was trying to put off actually selling it to someone until I had a reason to keep it. I am hammered drunk right now as a result of my favorite car being totaled. There are so few left and my brother screwed it up. Driving drunk in a car I loaned him as a favor because he got a new job. He is alive but beat up pretty good. A living testament to the safety of Subaru, even the older models. Sorry to inform those of you who where interested in the car but trust me, I am a million times as disappointed as you are.

The A-pillar is flattened down to the height of the roof. They had to cut the drivers side rear door off to extract him and medivac him to Winchester Medical Center. I have the door in the bed of my truck... I will be buying the car back, the motor is still good as is the transmission and exhaust. The trunk is pushed in almost flush with the back of the rear doors. It sucks. Alot.

End of Rant.

Wow, that sucks. Very sad. The turquoise monster is no more. Glad your brother made it through that.
