FS WA: 1991 Legacy Sport Sedan, Rio Red, 5MT, $2500OBO
Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2010 1:56 am
It is with a heavy heart that I pen this add and reluctantly offer my car for sale. I have loved this car for years and have put countless hours into it but, at my wife’s urging I bought a 2007 Spec B last fall and it just doesn’t make since to keep the SS around. I’ve put this off for months but the time has come.
I could probably write for days but I will try and keep this concise, I’ll be happy to expand and answer any questions. The car is not perfect and needs a few things, but it is solid and has lots of life left to live. Below is a list of the major upgrades and in addition to those, I have done a few smaller things including custom gauges integrated into the cluster, dual fog/driving lights, DIY EFCD and manual boost control. Currently has a decent stereo, small amp under the seat and some old truck boxes in the trunk which I will leave for the right price. Note: wideband in the console does not go with the car, but I leave the mount plate.
EJ20G Swap w/WRX TMIC
Eibach Pro Kit Springs (’04 WRX)
KYB AGX struts
Helix 3” TBE
’04 WRX Wheels (stock 15s included)
EDM Glass Headlights
Total mileage is 325,000 (I bought the car at 148,000), the stock engine was pulled at 250,000 because I thought the turbo had gone (turned out to be a cracked up-pipe). The EJ20G was installed as a temporary engine while I did a basic rebuild on the 22T, the basic rebuild turned into a monster motor which is still incomplete and the 20G has stayed. Do to the temp status at install, I never bothered to clean things up under the hood but the setup has proven to be quite reliable. It’s currently running on the stock 370cc EJ22T injectors with a slightly modded MAF, wideband shows safe AFRs. Boost control is currently set at about 12lbs, but I have run it to 14lbs at times. The transmission shifts pretty good for its age, a little stiff down into 1st and 2ed but not bad. It was replaced at some point before I bought the car with a used unit . It has a WRX clutch and flywheel that hold fine. It has a WRX clutch and flywheel that hold fine.
Current issues – Tires are bald, both the summers on the WRX wheels and the snows on the stock SS wheels. It needs a windshield, though I have driven it like it is for years and have not been stopped by the cops, it has a big star from a fist sized rock at the far left side and really does need replaced. Sunroof won’t open (you can hand crank it) and will leak a little if it sits in a hard rain, I have a replacement switch and controller and planned to do a reseal when I installed them. Head gaskets are weeping, it does not overheat or push out water, but there is a stream of small bubbles in the overflow. Otherwise the car is in pretty good shape for the years/mileage. I’ve got some spare parts that will go with it as well, nothing major just bits and pieces.
I figure the car should be worth around $3000 but due the cost to repair the windshield and head gaskets I’m asking $2500 OBO. Car is located in Thorp Washington. I might be willing to do the head gasket replacement for an extra $250 if the buyer wants.
