Well, the time has come.
Reason for selling: I can't afford to keep putting money into the car as it sits. Nothing against Ryan and Area1320, but I had never expected anything like this to happen with the swap. Ah well, 20/20 as they say.
Anyway the details:
The car is currently located in Nazareth, at Area1320. Ryan just got the car running yesterday, but it hesitates bad around 3k. Its missing an 02 sensor, which is both rare, and a pain in the ass to find, and it will most likely take weeks to arrive from Japan.
Interior:
Complete interior
6 CD changer
floor mats
carpet
Everything would be included
Exterior:
The exterior has some flaws. The car needs a paint job, especially the hood / front and rear bumpers. But like I stated, its a project car.
There is a small amount of accident damage to the drivers side of the car. Before I bought the car, it was located in Philly. It was apparently sideswiped by a drunk guy, and then he ran, of course. The only serious part of the damage would be the door, it is bent from the impact so the part that seals shut against the rear quarterpanel sticks out about a half an inch. The rest of it, was just paint. There is a dent in the rear quarter panel, but I also managed to minimize the damage, by banging it out. There is no rust, as far as I know, I took care of that before I started the swap.
Also, I have both sideskirts, they are just at my house, I took them off for the swap.
Engine bay:
Version 3 WRX Ej20k
Stock it makes roughly 240 at the crank, so yes it is slightly more powerful then the stock USDM WRX
ECU - Apexi PowerFC with a Commander, recently got this from R/T Tuning (great shop)
I cleaned the engine bay before I swapped it, so there isn't any rust as far as I know, and it looks slightly fresher then normal
Also, there is something up with the powersteering. As soon as it is connected (the belt) the lines swell up, and then explode shooting fluid all over the place.
Drivetrain:
RS 5 Speed - unknown year
Stock Drivetrain
JDM Sti front Sway bar with stock mounts
Version 5 struts, with H&R lowering springs
The car has basically everything it needs to get running again, except for an 02 sensor, and then some hardcore time needed to really find out what is causing it to skip at 3k RPM, and the power steering.
Price:
I would like to get around 3000 for, seeing as I have already spent roughly 9000. I am open to offers, I don't expect much, so in another way, I do not expect a potential buyer to expect much either. It is a project car. It does not run well enough to drive, so don't ask that.
Here are some pictures of what it looks like during / before the swap.

Edit: Talked to Ryan again, it sounds like it really is the 02 sensor causing the skipping, as the ECU has no idea what the A/F is. It really could use a tune, but for now it needs the 02 to get it tuned. See what I mean? Problems within problems... I can be so naive sometimes.
Car is sold. Thank you for bumping, looking, etc.
