Another RS someone should pick up...

It's priced at less than $10k.

No friggin' wonder, the car has a GT30/40 on it. When you get the Haltech figured out, it'll spool at about 5000 rpm and make stupid-fast power. Good deal if the body's clean though, the rest of the mods are well chosen.

"stock WRX clutch and transmission"

hahahahahaha :lol:

That would be like union pacific refurbishing its locomotives by putting wooden wagon wheels on them

That thing's a short-block and 6-speed away from being a true beast!

Man, that car is sweet.

Uh, it's got a Cobb short block. :?:

I just glanced at it... I assumed it had a built EJ25, but that doesn't make the deck any less open.

Actually it does...

Nice!

...but how do you "modify" a block to make it "fully closed"? Weld it? :shock:

I would imagine.

It looks a whole lot like an EJ22T with sleeves, bored and stroked. But, the other method is indeed to weld in the extra bracing and re-machine the deck. Personally, I wouldn't rust that, plus it's the more difficult/expensive way.

Either way, $5k for a freaking shortblock is retarded.
