    Not really 'new' but might be a new Subi owner :)

    First off what I want to know is the approx. value of said car. Quality of the mods. Any info on the shop(I emailed them). Potentially how fast it could be on paper. Any things that are common problems etc... just give me your gosh darn honest opinion!

    Any clips of how this could sound? Exhaust? BOV? I love a Subaru with loud pipes!

    I want to trade/sell my M3. I got this offer off bimmerforums:

    that's one clean bug-eye.

    is there cash involved? 2002 or 03?

    looks pretty tasteful. with drop in pistons on that block you would be good for more power

    some of it's a little ricey/retarded (carbon fiber alternator cover, etc). I would be interested in seeing what was done for the rear end to facilitate the 6MT, though.

    Wonder why he didn't do cams while it was all apart.

    Probably no cash but I would not include as my original trade/sale post my extra sets of slicks, 3 extra set of wheels and all my track stuff. Would sell seperately.

    I would take that off... Seems like the only real 'wtf' mod on it to me. I am not a WRX expert so I don't know 100%.

    Details on your rear end question?

    No idea...

    its clean. worth a straight trade for your car i wouldnt value it more than 14k i wouldnt think MAYBE 15k.

    also sound slike a decent motor setup. with the Manual Boost controller ask about the tune. who and how it was tuned like what Engine Management does it have? or was the boost just cranked up?

    That does look clean, looks like the original owner did it right (assuming everything's still in good condition). What EM are you using? Find out who his tuner is and that will help you get a little more information in regards to power / reliability

    What are you wanting it for? If for a fun track car I would strongly advise you to keep the M3.

    To drive around and maybe track it a couple times a year. Maybe...

    I want a 2nd 'daily' that is a little more comfy than a slammed BMW convertible.

    I will ask about the tuninig when he replies.

    Just call up DPS and ask them about the car, odds are they did most of the work?
