850 KG VERSION 1 WRX !!
 
Hi all i run a NOVEMBER 1992 WRX one of the first months output so when i see other early wrx / sti come up for sale on ebay i have a nosey , there is one up now weighing in at 850 kg and running forged pistons at 330 bhp.
I obviously messaged him asking if its totally stripped out as he lost nearly 400kg off standard and also what brand pistons were fitted and who by !
He answered he has previous owners paperwork stating it weighs 850kgs but no receipts for engine work /pistons or bhp print out lol

A few specs on my early import wrx are :

FACTORY OPTIONS
No air con
manual mirrors
no abs
alloy bonnet
mid level rear wing
closed deck block

work done so far

Mahle forged pistons
later sti forged and chamfered rods
acl bearings and studs
later four pots fronts and brembo rears
usual 3inch turbo back exhaust

once run in will be going front mount bigger injectors and turbo with esl maffless :luxhello:

Sounds like he's being a bit enthusiastic with the claimed weights. Mikee's drag car is more than that iirc and that is stripped to the bone as well as running no arches, tiny brakes, light weight seat etc

Found the advert. It will be well over 1100kg still

About the right weight with no engine or box in it :lol1:

Tidgy 25 January 2016 05:34 PM

It's got a new age interior in as well lol

Sorry for strange first post busta guess i should have hi newbie here running a 92 wrx but as i was thinking about posting came across said ad and i agree with the above minus engine and box should see that weight so he definitely has no forged internals lol

This place gets more weird by the day...............

I thought this was going to be about the wrx quad bike again.

850kg rust must be mega bad on it to weigh light as that l, another ebay special bet he told you the resistor mod has made it 400bhp lol

shauncobra 25 January 2016 08:17 PM

He never got back to me with any proof of anything cos he can't like you say just another hearsay ebay special throwing figures about that any enthusiast knows dont add up !!

The easiest way to make an Impreza weigh 850KG is park it in an unlit car park in Liverpool overnight. I'd guess it might weigh even less than that the next morning!
