Let me start off by saying i don’t want to sell this, but i’ve recently decided to go back to school, and the (small) logical side of me says sell it.

The car is currently RWD. It runs, drives, and spins the rear tires nicely.

It is a 2002 WRX with roughly 148k.

Transmission has been replaced with one that i seem to think has been rebuilt, as the synchros are better than my original transmission. I sold the original tranny cause i was offered stupid money for it, and at the time was thinking of a 6 speed swap.

This car was my dd for the past 2.5 years, i’ve maintained it to a very high standard. It used to be perfect body-wise, but over the winter has acquired some scratches and dings, fenders are a bit rough paint wise. I will (professionally) buff the car for the new owner.

The car has a ridiculous amount of money sunken into it, here’s the mods i can remember (and that matter)

Engine.Driveline:  
Cobb Short Ram Intake  
PDE Downpipe with removable cat, and test pipe section  
Zero Sports World Leaguer Catback  
TGV Deletes (basically a useless restriction in the intake manifold for cold start emissions)  
Kartboy Short Shifter  
Kartboy Shifter Bushings

Suspension/Brakes:  
Megan Track Coilovers  
Cusco Adjustable Lateral Links  
Cusco Adjustable Trailing Arms (not installed)  
Cusco Front.Rear Power Braces  
Whiteline 22mm Front Sway Bar (adj. to 24mm)  
Whiteline 24mm Rear Sway Bar (Adj. to 27mm)  
Whiteline Adj. Front Endlinks  
Kartboy Rear Endlinks  
Tein Front.Rear Strut Bars  
Kartboy Diff Mount Bushings  
TIC Outrigger bushings  
Brembo Blank Rotors  
Hawk HP Plus Pads  
Goodridge Stainless Lines

Exterior:  
Prodrive front lip  
STI Scoop  
Painted Side Skirts

Interior  
OEM Boost Gauge  
Random JDM Steering Wheel  
HKB Hub

Other stuff i did:  
Fusebox Relocate to fender  
AC Delete  
Aluminum Rear Bumper Beam  
RWD Conversion (reversible)  
ABS is disabled on the car

Car looks fun man! Any action shots? What did you do to convert to RWD?

Was is just welding the centre diff, removing the front axles? Or was it a little more extensive than that?

I have yet to really beat on the car, it’s been out for less than a week and i’m still working some kinks out. No action shots yet.

The center diff was welded, and axles removed. The outer axle stubs were removed from the axles (violently, so new axles will be required to put it back to AWD), and they were put back in place to hold the wheel bearings together.

Pretty simple really.

I would be interested in making an offer…but it sounds like it needs too much work, and also sounds like the “conversion” to rwd is a hackjob

Don’t make an offer then? The “hackjob” conversion, is the only way to convert it to rwd. Weld the center, or waste your money on a center diff spool (which is only useful if you’re too pussy to permanently alter your stock center diff). The car actually needs very little work. Thanks for your useless post.

I must say this is price very low… for what these are going for in the market is still about 10-12 (not modded… modded people are asking the world)
