Awesome car. Looks to be in great condition. Want to give a rough estimate what you paid for it?

tree fingers · 04-29-2012, 09:28 PM

Well, I traded my older car and a little coin, so I didn't pay a lot of liquid cash. However, if I had sold my older car and paid cash, considering the value of the previous car, it would be somewhere between 25,xxx and 30,xxx.

holy awesome @_@ good move

Allch Chcar · 04-30-2012, 04:02 AM

, very nice choice. I hope you enjoy it thoroughly.

Gardus@Supersprint · 04-30-2012, 05:30 AM

Good move, I love that you can legally own a car like that in your country.
It's going to be a real blast, lots of torque, light body. It looks brilliant and not rice at all.

A bit pricey but i's a real keeper.

Gardus@Supersprint · 04-30-2012, 08:49 AM

It also depends on the milage of the donor car, the state of the interior, othe aftermarket components...

More pics and a video maybe?

Dave-ROR · 04-30-2012, 09:09 AM

Love it!! My favorite color too.

Not having to go through the trouble of selling my car was worth a considerable amount to me alone. That and the market for selling STIs isn't what it used to be, so I'd be lucky if I even got KBB value for it. It's a 93 chassis with 130,xxx miles, which is pretty low for a 20 year old car. I'll capture a video today, but here's a list of mods, for those that are interested. The color is Subaru's Aspen White.

93 touring 130k on chassis 3500ish on motor and trans
complete color change from silver to aspen white
Red Leather
Factory cruise control
Enkei NT03. Wheels and tires have less than 2000 miles on them. 9.5" +40 offset 255/40/18 on all 4 corners so you can rotate.
Full Samberg Kit with DSS aluminum dshaft
LS6 Stroked to forged 383
4030 Scat crank and rods
ARP rod and head bolts
weisco -6 dish pistons
243 heads
comp valve train and push rods

Shine Parts / Feed sides, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler
99 Spec OEM Mazda Front bumper with plate shaved

Red efini emblems and matching key
R1 Din pocket
Every single sensor, pulley, belt, hose, gasket, starter, alt, PS pump, etc was replaced during the rebuild and I have all the receipts.

The car may not be worth this to everyone, but this is the closest I will probably get to having a "new" FD, so my opinion of its value is held in pretty high regard. :]

I'll get more pics and videos soon!

Ryephile · 04-30-2012, 10:24 AM

Very nice, congrats! FD's still look great, and the LS6 is always a lusty engine. I'm sure you'll enjoy the hell out of the car.

tree fingers · 04-30-2012, 11:53 AM

Thanks for all of the kind words, guys. :]
