FS: 2004 Silver Subaru WRX STI - Click HERE for Original Thread

groff77
This is a 2004 Subaru WRX STI. It was
professionally dyno tuned, the engine is making about
350 hp and 400 lb/ft of torque at the crank. It was tuned via
Unichip, there is about $7000US worth of extras
installed including parts and labor. All parts were
installed professionally at a Subaru dealership, the
car was debadged for a cleaner look.

Here is a list of the extras:

Engine

Perrin lightweight crank pulley,
Perrin shifter bushings,
Perrin short ram intake,
Perrin black radiator shroud,
Perrin vent to atmosphere blow off valve,
STI 1.3 bar radiator cap,
Clutchmasters FX-100 clutch kit,
ACT lightweight flywheel (15 lbs.),
SPT oil cap and battery tie down,
Unichip

Suspension

Perrin 22mm front and rear adjustable swaybars,
Tein SS-P coilovers with EDFC,
Perrin swaybar endlinks,
Tein rear strut bar,
Perrin PSRS,
Perrin rear, differential/subframe lockdown kit,
Powder coated dark grey BBS wheels.

I think that about covers it. Some stock parts are
included if you ever wanted to return the car to stock

$32500 OBO

HOW MUCH ??

groff77
Price updated, I also believe there is about 104000 Kms on the car. Hope this helps.

Where did you have your car professionaly dyno tuned? I was not aware that there was an authorized Unichip dealer anywhere remotely close to here and of course the unichip is only tunable with the unichip software that only official dealers have.

groff77
Ya It was done in the US. I am not the seller of the car but he does have the official dyno sheet with the numbers to prove outputs. Its a nice car.

silent
Sorry Im mildly retarded and not capable of reading let alone understanding the rules of this forum.

Someone edited me out. I just listed all the unsafe mods that were done and why they were unsafe.
Apparently the buyer must be oblivious to all issues if reading the AD on 780tuners.
GO MODS!

Any buyer needing advice on what its like to take it in the ass just pm me.

groff77
This car is in great shape and the mods are just fine. They have been installed by professionals and they have been tuned by professionals. Thats all. You don't need to ruin someone else's sale if your not interested.

Dude, there's an atmospheric BOV on there... That's all I'm going to say.

Alberta_Daytona
that matters why? why must all be recirculating. What makes the wrx unable to have it vent to atmosphere?

silent
Perrin lightweight crank pulley + ACT lightweight flywheel (15 lbs.)
This combination usually gives you a check engine light, and has been the cause of many engine misfires. VERY BAD IDEA if you want your car to stay reliable.

Perrin short ram intake
Awesome. Now you have an intake that gives 5% more flow than the stocker but no way to get it out. Unless tuned for an intake (this one is) your AF ratios are altered and can cause engine problems. Basically useless without a turboback exhaust anyways.

Perrin vent to atmosphere blow off valve
Ridiculous. This will mess up your AF ratios when the BOV is open, since the ECU cannot detect the loss of air and keeps going normally. Ask about an atmospheric BOV over on www.nasioc.com and you'll be told to go back to your honda or SRT-4 forums. VERY frowned upon by the community since it decreases reliability due to fluctuation in AFRs.

Unichip
Due to the Emissions-based nature of the 04+ ECUs, they are EXTREMELY stubborn when it comes to adding mods. Every mod added will require a retune of the car. That's all fine and dandy, until you go to find that noone in alberta can tune Unichip (no software). So if you wanted to toss on a Turboback exhaust, you'd have to get the car sent to BC or the states just to have it tuned. A $800 exhaust system quickly turns into a $2000+ waste of money.
And don't ask if people can go untuned if they add a mod. We just had a local WRX owner blow his motor because he added exhaust+downpipe (TBE) without any kind of engine management.

The rest is just "under the hood bling" other than the clutch.
The guy is bragging about ~350bhp where a turboback exhaust + Cobb AccessPort (easiest EM for tuners here) will get better gains than that.

groff77
Thanks for the info:) You gonna buy it?

No, I already have my own subie. Just thought I'd share some info with those who aren't as knowledgeable. Keep reading though cause Im about to get nicely owned for posting out of my ass.

groff77
You need to take a look at this car. Its on great shape. Great deal and the info provided is just one opinion and since it works and performs well it just that... an opinion.

silent
www.nasioc.com
Anyone with any questions or worries is feel free to research there. It's the largest subaru site in the world with every bit of information you could ever imagine.

groff77
Like I said its an opinion. These parts were installed by Subaru and if there was an issue then they would have said otherwise.

groff77
bump!

I've installed over 10 of them... never threw a code... what code number is it?

"the ECU cannot detect the loss of air and keeps going normally?!?!?!?" What the fuck are you talking about?

It runs 9:1 AFR between shifts which does absolutely because the MAF isnt picking up the recirculated air...Does NOTHING to your engine except foul your plugs and backfire. It may slow you down a bit, but wont affect your "reliability" If anything its more safe.

I agree with the tuning for mods, but blowing your motor cause of an exhaust is a load of shit. You may boost spike, if your matting it in 5th gear, but even then it will go into limp mode.... Your buddy must have been knocking the motor constantly and resetting his ECU to clear the codes when he should of learned his lesson the first knock.

Besides getting a AP, his can also be corrected with porting the wastegate or adjusting the restrictor pill prior to the wastegate. Which I've done many times.

I drove my car 5months without the AP and a full TBE... I just watched my boost levels and didnt let it spike.

Easiest Engine management? Are you a certified Pro-tuner? Have you even seen the Pro-tuner interface?

No your talking about a OTS flash.

Perrin 22mm front and rear adjustable swaybars,
Tein SS-P coilovers with EDFC,
Perrin swaybar endlinks,
Tein rear strut bar,
Perrin PSRS,

Thats under the hood bling?


It seems the extent of your knowledge is based off an internet forum aka "keyboard mechanic" which seems like your only source of information.

If your going to slag someones sale at least know what the fuck you are talking about.


Bump for a nice car.:thumbup:

There is absolutely no safety issues with his after market configuration. Is his car going to start on fire? is it going to blow up?






No, No it is not.

groff77
Thanks for the info, I appreciate that help. Just as I stated it was an opinion and here is another. The car is solid and drives like a dream. Its a great deal.

Most guys are reporting misfire codes. Hell, we had a guy with a misfire just installing a crank pulley. Odd occurence, but it does happen. Code: p030x (substitute x for cylinders 1-4).

Just what's been read up from nasioc and said from some of the Rocket Rally guys.

Here's a little excerpt:

Just out of curiosity, what led you to purchase this intake? Not to "dis" your choice but RAM is a false term, you drive a turbo car, you can't RAM anything, it just sucks...and unfortunately with an in engine bay intake you will be sucking warmer air than if you had the stock box or a CAI on. (This is for others who may make the same mistake). Also ANY intake should be properly tuned for or you could VERY easily see problems down the road (driveability and engine life).

We have been getting more and more blown motors in here and they generally result from:
low oil/starvation issues (#1 cause)
Improper mods (BOV's and Intakes)
Improper tunes (adding parts without tunes or irresponsible tunes, ie raising boost above what the engine can handle, raising RPM, too lean, etc etc.)

Tell that to "grounded" over on ASC. He blew his motor with a full TBE and was refused warranty work. Not my buddy, just some guy that got a cobb tbe installed at your shop while you still worked there.

I meant most common, not easiest. My mistake. "you're talking about a OTS flash" -- your mistake.

I've built a pretty damn good Subie from almost scratch, done a hell of alot more to it than most people around here. Don't bother taking shots at my knowledge.

groff77
The point of this thread is to sell a car and not see who has more knowledge of cars. Like I said there are opinions and thats all. Some people like whats here and some don't but that is the same with all cars and well everything else. Drive the car, you will see that it is fantastic.

STiPWR
Again, you're using internet info as a source of reliable information as your come-back.

Attacking a spelling error as a slag is weaksauce.

Bottom line as stated above me...

Its a guys for sale thread. Leave it be.

Do you know who Rocket Rally is? If they've built/worked on cars with those issues, it's not just making up stories.
That wasn't a "slag" there sunshine, I was just showing that mistakes happen.

Holy smokes, easy there big guy. Don't need to go off hurting yourself with all those big words.

780Tuners
As innappropriate as Correction Ink. may be, there is a point made.

If you can't bothered to read or follow the rules, perhaps you shouldn't be here.

Sorry Post is disrespectful Removed.

Bombshazzle
haha go mods
for anyone who is ACTUALLY interested in buying this beautiful machine....i thought that i should add that nasioc (though an unreal source for subaru information) is also i GIANT sewing circle of shade tree keyboard mechanics constantly telling spook stories about their "cousins mothers best friends neighbor from 2 doors downs' subaru" and when kooks like this silent character boast their infinate knowledge you should notttt take it to heart:)

firestarter
this thread is from last September and I am thinking the car has been sold many moons ago, I could be wrong.
