Comments about the car: runs and drives good
Asking price: $3500



Here's my notes:
clean oregon title, new tags, 180k miles, runs great, no leaks.
AC and digital/auto climate control all working. original radio w/CD working, power antenna works. all windows work. sun roof works.

Custom 5-speed conversion done at Carr Subaru by the previous owner a few years ago. A lot of things were done wrong, I bought it 1.5 years ago and fixed just about everything. Now the car has a WRX clutch, it runs great, has lots of power, and has no check engine lights

Current setup:
- custom transmission crossmember
- '01 Forester 5-speed transmission (4.11 ratio) w/matching rear diff
- custom shift linkage
- short ram intake
- custom dual-tip exhaust
- hood is sprayed black
- new 06 WRX clutch and flywheel
- new Redline transmission fluid
- new TIC rear diff bushings
- various new vacuum lines since many were old and cracked
- 17" ASA wheels w/ ok tires (see third pic)

Problems:
- neutral and reverse switch aren't wired in. So, it will start without the clutch being in, and the reverse lights dont work. also cruise doesnt work (car thinks its in neutral)
- windshield is cracked on passenger side
- exhaust isnt quite lined up at the cat-back flange, so it leaks (probably makes it sound better actually). adjust the hangers on the exhaust and its fixed.
- hood struts won't quite hold the hood up
- one spot of minor damage on rear quarter where it was scraped.

Its a fast car and lots of fun. the car is 20 years old, so it has some quirks, but overall its good.
