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....

Ship me those 5 spoke goldies. :grin: I would have just about killed for a set for my 2000 RS a few years ago.

 

Rally blue pearl, smoking hot color.

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.

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....

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.

What do you need for the complete car?

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?

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.

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 :)

One clean engine bay on that Honda.

 

I actually ran for almost 2 years without the backing plate on the hood scoop.

On second thought, maybe i dont want to buy a car whose previous owner was an idiot.

  • 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.

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.

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.
