(Price: $36k, Location: CA) Here’s our Thanksgiving special! This thing is absurd: built motor, rotated turbo, caged, air suspension… the list goes on. The price feels a bit high for a 2007 STi, but when you add up all the modifications – it’s a steal. Quite possibly one of the sickest STi’s for sale right now, built for street / track duty – and can still handle all 4 seasons. More info below or over at NASIOC here.
New Baby forces sale! Asking $36K OBO
As you may have noticed, the front end has been professionally converted to 2007 STI with all OEM parts, purely for cosmetic purposes. This is a 2005Subaru STI, and has never been involved in an accident. The car was built for SEMA originally, with hundreds of hours into the project. The mileage posted on the ad reflects the mileage of the engine itself, which is approximately 400-500 miles on a fresh, and very tedious/precise engine build. Chassis mileage is approximately 92k. I have owned the car since 2011. CA Tags, title, registration is all up to date.
When researching parts for this project, we ONLY used the best products on the market. The engine was built fairly conservative, so that the car could be daily driven with zero reliability issues. A conservative tune puts the horsepower range between 500-550 whp (All wheel Horsepower). The majority of tuners that know what they are doing, can easily gain 75 hp with E85 alone. The entire project has been documented through each process for reference, so specific photos will be available upon request.
