April 13, 201114 yr My newest aquisition, 98 RS production number 174, 2dr, 5spd, with sunroof clean title Not even sure what to do, restore keep it stock, put my ej22T block onto it etc, part it, fix it what to do what to do....
April 14, 201114 yr Ship me those 5 spoke goldies. I would have just about killed for a set for my 2000 RS a few years ago. Rally blue pearl, smoking hot color. Edited April 14, 201114 yr by Durania
April 14, 201114 yr The 2-doors was never sold in Europe, it looks like the wheelbase is shorter than the normal 4-door impreza. Nice toy/driver unfortunately anything that comes close overhere is unaffordable.
April 14, 201114 yr I hate that i couldnt buy it but im glad you got to. Now to try and pry it out of your hands.
April 14, 201114 yr Author I hate that i couldnt buy it but im glad you got to. Now to try and pry it out of your hands. drove home fine, front struts are DEAD.......it's loud with exhaust, otherwise seems stock... hard to find stock ones i guess. grrr part it or what? even with the dead struts, it seemed more go cart like than i am used to (well CRX is more even) but hey for soobs.... i guess will look at it and see....
April 14, 201114 yr I cant believe 160k and no HG problems. Why would you part it out though man, is the body in bad shape.
April 14, 201114 yr Author clean title, normal rust, normal dents, etc...... lsd price? skirts price? front clip price? wheels price? make offers or else i will decide more project on it.
April 14, 201114 yr Awesome. I would not part that car out, up here there are NONE, and when you do find one it's so rusty the rear subframe is trying to detach itself. I would have killed for this car a year ago, before I found my wrx... And that's the first year of the RS so it has the no foglight bumper (which I prefer) and does that have a SOHC or a DOHC engine? I feel like a read somewhere it was the DOHC for the first year?
April 14, 201114 yr Don't want to be the bringer of bad news already out the gate. The 98 RS never got a rear LSD. It was an option in 99 and standard for the 00-01MY. It will have a DOHC phase I 2.5.
April 15, 201114 yr Author I'll trade you the WRX wheels + $$ for the Goldies sorry. But my brother now needs a set of wRX stockers, preferable with snows, or else just bare for next winter.... you stil runnning the Hankook Ventus on them>
April 15, 201114 yr sorry. But my brother now needs a set of wRX stockers, preferable with snows, or else just bare for next winter.... you stil runnning the Hankook Ventus on them> yeah, still have the Hankooks on... I got a set of 15x7 wheels but haven't gotten tires yet.... so the WRX stockers can go away, but I'd like saome goldies
April 16, 201114 yr Author the other side, i finally broke down and bought a 7mp camera on sale at target for 29.99 this is first picture with it..
May 4, 201114 yr Author out with the coffee can mod lol seen here. yes and it was loud whistling when idle. back in with this: and i also sourced the scoop under covers from the same member and installed them as well seen here now, just the exhaust left for back to stock. Rust repair to start when i get some funds. Looks like my camera date proved we make it to 2012 and for fun lol Edited May 4, 201114 yr by bheinen74
May 4, 201114 yr One clean engine bay on that Honda. I actually ran for almost 2 years without the backing plate on the hood scoop.
May 5, 201114 yr out with the coffee can mod lol seen here. yes and it was loud whistling when idle. On second thought, maybe i dont want to buy a car whose previous owner was an idiot.
May 8, 201114 yr Author did title papers to me Friday. Still dont have the cash to do much more on it yet. It is debateable to part out, or fix and sell.
May 8, 201114 yr I think me buying it is out of the question at this point. No one wants to give me close what i paid for the truck and im not loseing my a** on it. Ill take a loss but some of these offers are just silly. I still say keep it, its a fun little car and probally will get better mpg then the outback since its lighter.
May 8, 201114 yr Author well the short list of must haves: replace windshield get exhaust with cats and 02's right now it has no 02 and it throws like 9 codes airbag light intermittent on, non horn, seems like clock spring as the light has stayed off a few times. front struts are VERY DEAD. It was not well maintained. rust and dents it does have newer clutch and newer brakes and tires are quite good.
