For sale is my 2003 Subaru WRX in factory color Sonic Yellow (13V), which only 1500 cars were made. The car has zero rot and no rust as it has been garaged and covered most of its life. Body condition is pretty good for a 14 year old car. It has a few chips but that is normal for the amount of miles the car has on the chassis.

In 2014 the car received Version 7 JDM EJ207 (with working AVCS) engine that had 50k on it. In 2015, the car received 2007 USDM STI 6 Speed Transmission. Later that year the car got widen with grippy Nitto street tires and an aggressive stance along with a brand new set of Karlton Version 1 Fender Flares custom fitted and paint matched to this car.

The swap and all the maintenance was performed by AJW Performance in Gilford NH, using OEM Subaru parts. Brakes, Lines, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Clutch, Gaskets and Seals have all been done and refreshed in 2017 with 60k miles on the engine. The car was street tuned back in 2014 by Eric Sorenson out of Southern MA. Exact power figures are unknown but cars with similar mods are 310whp/260wtq on 93 octane. The car gets datalogged every 6 months by the tuner to check that everything is working as it should. The body of the car has 172,000 miles on it, the Engine has around 70k miles on it and the Transmission has 50k miles on it. The oil gets changed religiously every 4000-5000 miles using Amsoil synthetic 5w30 and OEM Subaru Gear oil for Transmission and Diff Fluid.

In summer 2017, the car received complete JDM WRX STI Version 8 big BREMBO brake kit with rotors, race pads, axels, 5x114 hubs, 2007 USDM STI differential, white line control arms, tie rods, JDM WRX STI OEM Titanium Front Strut Tower Bar Brace EJ207, Billstein coilovers, big radiator, oil cooler and new A/C lines.

This car is fast and so much fun to drive. The ride is firm, but precise on Billstein Coilovers. The brakes are amazing. It is a very easy car to drive as well, as it has a new WRX OEM 5spd clutch and flywheel, doesn’t slip and feels smooth.

All said and done, over $30,000 went into this car since day one. Not a single part has been overlooked. I have a full spreadsheet of parts that I can email if needed, but I will list a majority of everything here.
I am asking $15,900 or best offer for the car. The title is currently a REBUILT title as the history of the vehicle shows it was stolen back in 2004 and sold to Auction, thus creating a new title under a "Rebuilt" status. One prior Accident was back in 2005 but not declared a total loss as the vehicle was fixed with no serious damage. These were all prior to my ownership of the vehicle and have not affected my ownership of it in any negative way, just stating the facts.
