Yeah the blue one with the good body will keep those seats - at least for now. We are building that for a buddy for him to get back into tracking so likely that car will get a rollbar/seats/harnesses eventually.....

Also that steering wheel is unavailable, it's going to be the penalty wheel for whoever has the current fastest laptime amongst us lol

Some more pics of the car..

Picking it up:





Car was listed as having a mechanical issue. Yep.. it sure does...


In additional to it drinking a lot of water, it also had electrical issues so the 80A fusible link on the positive battery terminal was blown. We did some electrical troubleshooting and removal of a lot of parts while doing so...




Traced it down to an issue on the dome light circuit. The PO had a lot of stereo crap in the car and with a mix of decent and shit wiring work so that circuit is still shorted to ground somewhere. We may go find it at some point but for now just pulled it's 20A fuse.

And here's how the car sits currently..


Next steps are to find an engine donor car for it.. still trying to buy that sweet mint wrapped WRB lol

Amps, HU and sub/box were all removed. Timpano door speakers, PRV rear speakers IIRC and haven't looked to see if it's stock in the dash or not.

Second car has arrived and has been dropped off at the shop. Not sure when we will work on it.

It's another limited with a much nicer interior so whatever Nate keeps for interior will probably come from the 2015 car. Might need suspension @Racecomp Engineering and a set of heating elements should be available

How did you determine that the engine was good? looking at the airbox/intake it probably didn't start?

We've bought multiple like that. No key provided to the auction for them to try to start it. Inspecting it now that it's here, there's no reason why it wouldn't start once extracted from the bent metal around it.

Bunch of random pics of the parts car - including some after removing smashed pieces to see if the engine was impacted in the collision. Anything we don't use will be up for sale eventually. If you see something you need/want from either car let myself or @Opie know and, if it's not going to be used by Nate, we can get whatever pics/etc you need to decide whether or not you want to buy whatever part you see.

Found this in the glovebox.. never find these normally.


Misc interior pics - I suspect the seats will initially go into the WRB car as those seats are rougher.. I do need to make sure the seat heaters in those work though lol otherwise the white cars interior looks pretty nice.. I suspect a lot of it will potentially be available unless Nate wants to store it.





Mirror covers, the bling fender garnish, STi wheels...







Engine bay pics.. oil filter took a hit, engine was still running post wreck given the belt was wearing on broken pieces




General exterior pics.. not much good there besides doors, qtr panels which we never feel like cutting out, radio antenna.. front bumper beam is a little damaged, rear beam I haven't looked at but can't imagine it's perfect. Exhaust tips are bent out of shape, might have an old Borla header, suspension looks stock based on a very brief glance, has some random front lip which is not in great shape...
