ScramCannon Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi everyone, My GC8 is up for sale. It's a project at present, details below. Thread on this is here:- Spec as I picked it up:- Resprayed from the original silver to the Rb5 metallic grey New (at the time) radiator Front mount intercooler Alloy sti/spec c lower arms STI v6 6 bolt gearbox and bell housing - the stronger one. STI v6 full red suspension and running gear STI v6 prop and rear diff etc Full STI v6 interior including all dash and wiring Alarm and immobiliser for insurance and theft purposes Fully forged rebuilt sti spec c engine Powerflow 2.5” single exit cat back exhaust HKS Type 2 turbo timer Upgraded front callipers to later model STI - fully reconditioned and powder coated black Engine spec list STI v9 steel con rods Billet steel nitrided and treated crank ACL race main bearings ACL race big end bearings All valves were checked, de-coked and re- lapped in to head Valve seats re ground - as Subaru's are prone to exhaust valve seat pitting Forged ally pistons at subaru standard 92mm bore size Commetic steel head gaskets New valve stem oil seals New cam shaft seals New crank case bolts and all dowety seals replaced. Exedy clutch kit Closed deck block Lightened and dynamically balanced complete bottom end inc. fully lightened and balanced steel fly wheel with dyno balancing print out from machinist. New oil pump with steel gears New water pump New radiator hoses All new exhaust and inlet gaskets New mass air pressure sensor New mass air flow sensor New spark plugs New coil packs All idler rollers replaced Cam-belt and auxiliary belts Since then it's had:- TD05-20g turbo, no play in shaft and oil seals good, MTEC c-hook brake discs front and rear, EBC red-stuff pads front and rear, Brake fluid change, New idle control valve, Powder-coated intake manifold, New stainless, catted 3" downpipe, Stack boost gauge fitted, Turbo-timer re-positioned, New Yuasa Battery, New HKS air filter, Coolant and oil change, using Millers full-synth. Some up to date-ish pics:- Why it's not finished:- Suspected HG failure, haven't got time to strip the engine down to find out. Hot-idle is inconsistent, No MOT. Comes with the following spares:- Spare, painted set of foglight covers. 2-pot rear brake calipers, refurbed and repainted, original sliding front calipers, Drives well apart from the idle issue - comes up on boost well, really smooth. Chassis very tight with no noises. Probably would make a load more on breaking the car, but not inclined to. Could be a great project form somebody. Car is in Wantage, Oxfordshire, garaged. Would need flatbedding as it's SORN and not MOT'd. Hard to know what value to place on it, let's start at £1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
