2001 Subaru 2.5 RS: The Coupe of Your Dreams with STI Powertrain Swap
This 2001 Subaru 2.5 RS Coupe is a California-sourced, rust-free chassis featuring a full 2007 USDM STi powertrain and drivetrain swap. Located in Cincinnati, the vehicle underwent over $9,000 in diagnostic and repair work at Turn In Concepts to resolve previous stalling issues and received a professional re-tune by Corbin Johnson. While the mechanicals are robust—featuring a Blouch 18G turbo, 6-speed manual transmission with DCCD, and rebuilt Brembo brakes—the exterior requires cosmetic attention, including paint for the front bumper and repair of a cracked front lip and minor body dents.
