1993 Subaru Impreza GC8 WRX

Presenting my 1993 Subaru Impreza WRX GC8. This car has a closed deck EJ20G engine and a TD05-16g single-scroll turbo and is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. As the top-of-the-line model in 1993, before the STI's introduction, this WRX is a testament to Subaru's rally heritage and engineering prowess.

Condition and History

This WRX is in excellent condition, with a healthy engine that shifts beautifully through gears. The undercarriage is clean, and the car is free of rust. The body and interior are in great shape, with the paint being Light Silver Metallic (262) and the interior featuring the highly sought-after Red Tiger Stripe seats.

The car has been meticulously maintained, with a recent compression test showing impressive results:

• Cylinder #1: 155 PSi / 2.5% Leak Down

• Cylinder #3: 154 PSi / 2% Leak Down

• Cylinder #2: 155 PSi / 3% Leak Down

• Cylinder #4: 155 PSi / 2 % Leak Down

However, it's important to note a few minor issues: sporadic air/heat function, a small exhaust leak, slow and noisy window regulators, a gap between the driver window and weather seal, a crack in the third brake light, a ding above the left tail light, and slight wear on the driver seat. The car may have been resprayed at some point as there are very small traces of overspray.

This WRX has been a cherished part of my collection and is now looking for a new home due to my growing family. The asking price is $16.5k OBO. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or offers.
