After picking up the black automatic coupe last Wednesday, I got a reply back from another seller I contacted.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

It was too good a deal to pass up (lower miles, manual, RSB, short shifter, Bruellen catback) so I brought another one home Saturday! I was going to swap the drivetrain over, but it's in good shape, so I'll sell the coupe to my friend and get this road worthy.

It's been sitting for a year, so the to-do list is:

Buy JDM tails (didn't come with lights)

Fix stuck sunroof

Re-attach axleback flange

Patch fender rot

Diff fluid, trans fluid, oil, coolant change

Brake refresh

Cycle new gas in (new fuel filter too)

Order 15x7 et40 Team Dynamics Pro Rally for my winter tires

...and Rallycross next month! Pretty damn good for $1000!

Nice! I've been looking for an RS coupe for about a year, and still cant find any that are worth the trouble. One guy by me had one for sale, but was asking 14k for it, with a salvage title and 150k miles.

You should try to mate them.

Will a wagon pop out then? That's all I'm missing for this body style.

The clean ones that I've seen are $6000+, and the beat ones go like hot cakes around here.

Having more than one of the same kind of car is the first sign you have a problem.

Where abouts are you finding them?

Both were on Craigslist. I wasn't even looking at buying any cars two weeks ago. Guess that's how it goes.

Hah! That's awesome! Yours has much less rust than mine though.

Where geographically though? Trying to find decent scubbys around Cleveland is a fools errand.

Connecticut. Subarus are a hot item here as well.
