04 WRX cluster with tach in the middle

Stainless lines
high temp fluid

Suspension & Tire
Tein Flex 8k 10k - 3000 miles on these

We've poured a lot of time and effort into this car. It's fast and seriously fun. It kills us to sell it but we gotta pay some bills!

Having seen that car and pointed it by numerous times at MT, I can vouch that it definitely hustles...

Good luck with the sale Pete. :)

WOW!! :shock: :shock:

This is one of my all-time favorite cars. I always liked the '98-00 RS.
Would love to have it as a daily driver and track terror, but my wallet can't swing it right now.

No doubt this car is a screamer and well sorted!

From the "makers" of the "Mazda LS-7"! :wink:

Will, buy my CRX so I can buy it!

Your wheels will fit on my car.

This is one of the few cars in the McParland family that has not been on my trailer...... :D

Jack, I don't think you'd know what to do with all of that power. Then again, who am I to talk? :oops: :lol:

Stephan, Coca-Cola and baking soda are the secret ingredient to any high-performance clutch. :wink:

Pete/Paddy - is the car going to be at NHIS?

I wish I had the funds to afford this. I drove it on street tires at Calabogie and I came away impressed. This thing made my car feel like a total pig.

The Irish bastards are being coy. Pete forgot to mention that it is running stock 04 ECU tune. 30-40 more hp is easily available with a bit of tuning and a bit of boost. Also, those times were on RA1's. With an aftermarket tune and gummier tires, it could be in 1:52's at MT and 1:00's at LRP.

Good luck with the sale.

Raj,

Buy my CRX and save me from having to spend my winter doing the VTEC swap!

More tires come with it than even YOU can cord in a year!

I honestly can't count all the wheels I have for the thing.

Stephan, It will not be at NHIS. We have the clutch issues all sorted out now. No need for more coke or baking soda. ;)

Raj is right too. The car has more potential. We've had minor boost control issues at nearly every event but its all sorted out now. We've only been running 10-13 psi. 14-15 is stock and 16-17psi via a reflash will bring the car up near 300awhp (340-350 at the crank). Unfortunately a 235/40/17 is the largest tire you can fit under the rolled fenders. I can only imagine how fast this car would be with more hp and a stickier set of 275/40/17s.
