So as some of you know a few months back I bought a complete salvage/rebuilt title STi to swap over all the trans items into my 04 Forester XT...This is me today at about 12pm...

Stay tuned!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did a salvage STi set you back?

 

[joe r]

If I told you, you would not believe me. Just know it was a super deal I could not pass up. Here is a pic of it before the dismantle...

It is fully rebuilt, titled, insured & drove great before we started pulling parts today. I would have to point damage out to you in person. All friends & family that have seen it think I am crazy for pulling it apart as it driver perfect with no leaks, noises, shakes but for the sake of the trans going into my XT.lol

Couldn't you put your existing XT trans back into the STI, a trade of sorts, so it would still be usable vs getting totally scrapped?

 

[fraktal]

you even had the most important tool, redbull! haha. car looks pretty clean from that pic.

 

[joe r]

I had thought about that but just wouldn't be fun in doing it. I have always wanted to do this to a car & part it out.

[joe r]

Car is super clean. RedBull is a must. Thank goodness for Costo!

HOLY CRAP, the pictures show it as flawless! I'm actually a little upset that you're taking it apart instead of selling it to me at your "unbelievable price" + $1500

This thread is going to be hard to view. :frown:

When are you going to post the parts for sale? :biggrin:

I know what you mean, a beater would be so much easier on the eyes wouldn't it?

Oooo, dismantling is always fun!
