I hate to do this, but due to some things coming up in my personal life I no longer have the time to finish fixing and running my 2.5RS in rallycross and would like to pass it along to someone that can get some use out of it.

The good is the engine and transaxle seem to be in great shape, new timing belt not too long ago, I bought it in Quebec (half hour outside Montreal) and drove it back to Toronto without any mechanical issues. It has a short shifter, ram air intake, sounds and looks like good headers/high flow exhaust and front strut brace.

The bad is that it's a bit more rusty than what I would expect out of the average RS, it appears the previous owner never used floor mats so the passenger and driver floor pans are rusted right through, I was going to grind out the rust and weld in some sheet metal but I no longer have the time to do any work on the car. I have gutted most of the interior already (I still have everything in storage) and have new seat belts for it since the drivers belt is a bit frayed, a skid plate and front springs/struts (it doesn't need the struts or springs but I guess it's good to have on hand).

I spent $1500 for the car alone, I believe the engine and trans are worth something as it sits and the car overall would be great for rally-x once you weld in a few pieces of sheet metal.

I know since it's gutted and not ready to go for anything I won't get near what I paid, I hope to get something since it's not far from being rally-x ready. I'm happy to take a loss knowing it's going to another enthusiast. I would like to get around $500 for it but I'll take whatever so I can free up some space and make this process quick.


I can email photos if anyone is interested.

Sorry for the very late reply, I have been trying to log in to my account but nothing was working until now.

I have donated the car to Solder On, they help Ill and Injured CF Personnel. Sorry to those that were interested in buying it.


Hopefully they can have the car running in some capacity for veterans to drive and compete with in some sort of motorsport, I am trying to convince them to run it in rallycross/sprint. The goal is to have it driven and maintained by veterans that are physically or otherwise disabled from combat and give them a positive new outlook on life and something productive to do with their spare time.

Here is a short video:  Youtube/     watch?v=mFFfrS57avw  (I can't yet post links, but the video is available on Lamorea Productions youtube page called "The Subaru".)

The Acura in the background is another donated car being built for a veteran that requires hand controls and should be running in the chump car series.
