Extra '06 WRX donor possibly for sale

[DrAwender]

For those of who are looking, the 2006-2007 WRX is the best year for a donor... 2.5L, drive by wire, 32 bit computer, larger brakes.

With that being said I am thinking of selling my extra 2006 WRX donor (I race so I typically like to have an extra parts car). Car has been stripped of doors, front clip, seats, etc. The chassis still currently runs and drives (you could even take it for a test drive although the milk crate seat isn't very cozy). I have wrapped and kept all the hinges, mirrors, latches, seat belts and instrument cluster that will be used for the 818. This car has 70K total miles, is a 5 speed and a true California car (that means NO corrosion or rust ANYWHERE!!!). I also have the title with it if you would need it if it went to another state (California you don't).

Car is located in San Carlos CA.

What is your asking price?

[DrAwender]

I haven't decided on a price. You can PM me for more info. If someone wanted, I could pull the motor, trans, brakes, etc so it could be easily shipped on a pallet.

FYI, '06 is especially good because it's the only year that has the aluminium lower control arms. '07 and all other years have those ugly and heavy cast-iron control arms.

You mean ugly, stamped steel control arms. I've seen "online" (whatever those are worth) weight quotes between .5 pounds per side to 1.7 pounds per side.

In any case, definitely not cast iron....but I assume you knew that and just typoed.

I have both types, I measured about 2 lbs lighter for the aluminum arms

they look much better and are not a very costly addition esp. when I sold my good steel arm for $50 on ebay

looked it up in the working on the donor thread...

steel 8lbs aluminum 6 lbs

Sorry haha, not a typo but maybe a brain fart. Regardless, the '06 has the nice aluminium ones, all other years have the ugly STAMPED STEEL lower control arms which are a real PITA to work with. There are few pitman arm pullers that fit over them when you want to pop the ball joint out for a quick fix. I've been in rusted ball-joint hell with my outback for a while and literally had to saw through the left ball joint that was rusted and sized into the arm and into the knuckle. If it had the nice aluminium ones, a pitman arm puller would have popped it out no problem.

For that alone, it's worth it if you ask me lol.
