This 2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS is a modified example that is powered by a replacement 2.0-liter EJ20 flat-four fitted with a VF48 turbocharger, a Mishimoto top-mount intercooler, Cobb Accessport flash tuner, Grimmspeed electronic boost controller, and a Crawford Gymkhana catback exhaust system. Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission equipped with an ACT clutch and flywheel. The car is finished in blue with body-colored fender flares, a JDM-style rear bumper, and a rear wing, and additional modifications include a DVD player, Sparco bucket seats, Eibach lowering springs, keyless entry, and XXR wheels.
The car is finished in Subaru Blue Ridge Pearl Metallic (95H), and features a JDM-style rear bumper and taillights, a Bakemono V6 rear wing, body-colored ABW fender flares, LED lighting, tinted windows, and mesh covers over the front fog lamps.
The 17” XXR wheels are mounted with 245/40 Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs, and the car rides lower than stock on Eibach springs and KYB shocks. The seller reports a whining noise when turning.
The cabin houses dual Sparco Torino 2 seats trimmed in black fabric and vinyl. 2.5RS-branded mats line the floors, and amenities include an aftermarket keyless entry and alarm system, air conditioning, an electric sunroof, power windows, and a Pioneer head unit equipped with a DVD player and Bluetooth connectivity and wired to JL Audio speakers, including 8″ subwoofers in the door panels. A Cobb Accessport flash tuner is mounted to the driver’s left, and reportedly contains maps for both 93 octane and E85 Ethanol.
A four-spoke steering wheel frames instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, a digital clock, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. A trio of digital AEM gauges mounted atop the dash includes readouts for air/fuel ratio, boost pressure, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 88k miles.
The 2.0-liter EJ20 flat-four is a JDM-spec replacement unit that was installed during current ownership and features a VF48 turbo, a Mishimoto top-mount intercooler, Grimmspeed electronic boost controller, and a Cobb short-ram intake. The timing belt has reportedly been changed, and the seller notes a recent oil change and reports that smoke emits from the exhaust when letting off the throttle. Additional modifications include the following:
STI engine mounts
iWire 2004 WRX harness merge
Cobb downpipe
Perrin turbo inlet
Fuel Injector Clinic 1,200cc injectors
AEM E85 fuel pump
Optima red top battery
Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission that features an STI transmission mount along with an ACT Heavy Duty clutch, and ACT Streetlite flywheel, and Whiteline front and rear shifter bushings.
