VY S Pac Series II Supercharged L67
Hi guys, just a quick question.

A friend of mine is selling his 2001 Subaru WRX S shortly due to an increase in family members.

He is willing to give it to me for $11,000...

Here's a few stats and mods it has:

140,000 k's, 10 months rego, excellent cond.

Tinted windows, lowered 2 inches. dyno tuned 210kw at wheels. Front mount intercooler, 3 inch Mandrel bent exhaust, K&N filter, STI upgrade VF34 turbo, uni chip, big injectors + Walbrose fuel pump.

Gearbox rebuilt by MRT- it has a straight cut gear set 1st-4th(cost $6000).

Obviously being a WRX, its had its fair share of thrashing. How do these engines and turbo's hold up?



I currently have a 2003 Holden S pac with the L67, leather interior all in immaculate condition..
it has 162,xxx km on the odometer.

How much would i be looking at getting if selling, and is it worth selling for the WRX?

Cheers guys, (voting option above also)

I'd stay with the S if I were you. Easier to work on, cheaper to run etc.

Subaru's last hundreds of thousands of KMs, if you keep up with regular good oil changes.
That said, I'd also keep the spac. A WRX with those mods has probably been treated pretty harshly if it needed a gearbox rebuild/upgrade. The noise of those straight cut gears will annoy you as well as a daily driver.

Subaru's are expensive to repair and modify.
If he's going to chase power, expect to look into the tens of thousands to get 250kw+.

Insurance is a joke too.

I own a modified Subaru too.
