Wtf? An 04 with an 06 front end and wrx motor?!

Yes this..... Make sure it's an STi via the Vin number. Kind of fishy.

Average prices that i have seen are:
Motor 2.5k
Tranny 2k
Dont know transfer case.

Someone always suggests a salvage company. It was either [MENTION=1507]Spamby[/MENTION] or [MENTION=652]Grinder34[/MENTION] i forget the name of the company but they have good prices on these items from slavaged cars

How will I know it's an sti by vin

 

[IGOTASTi]

They use to be a Vendor here, but won't mention their name. :rofl:

Just kidding. Oak Leaf Auto Salvage

 

[Alin]

How will I know it's an sti by vin

Car fax should state the trim of the car.

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

Sounds good thank you

 

[Alin]

Good luck. Let us know what it is. I have never heard anyone swapping a wrx motor and drivetrain into an sti. It makes no sense! Get us some pictures if you can!

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

Will do

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

Just found out it used to have an sti motor but for some reason the first owner did a wrx swap and everything on it is from an sti except motor

 

[Alin]

So then just the motor was swapped. A hybrid then? Still why the hell would someone dump a wrx motor. Then it still has brembos, right?

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

I belive so I'll ask the guy

 

[Alin]

$3500 with no motor would mean you would profit selling the parts off! :lol:

I say its a great deal if it only needs a motor. As long as nothing else was changed to the stock sti parts. :tup:

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

Okay thank you

 

[black bandit]

I would get a full detailed description of what they actually swapped. Otherwise it's still a wrx with a few STi parts

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

Just went and looked at it

 

[IGOTASTi]

That's a WRX, not an STi!

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

Doesn't have brembos does it still seem like alright deal?

 

[Spamby]

Doesn't have brembos does it still seem like alright deal?

If he told you it's an sti, I'd punch him the throat.
I'd walk away from this. I smell trouble.

 

[dominikgiovanni96]

He didn't tell me it was I just thought it was I hadn't gone up to it only seen from distance and it's badge less so I just assumed it was when I asked he told me it was just wrx
