You're looking at my pride and joy, beautifully murdered out, 2008 Subaru WRX STI. People say it all the time, but for me I say this with true sincerity - I really do not want to sell this car. :( Sometimes life doesn't smile on you as much and I've found myself in a much less happier financial situation than when I bought this car. So ...
This car is ffffffast! I'm the second owner. The first owner put more than $10k extra into it to the tune of 82 more horsepower than stock. That's a total of 382 horsepower. Let me pause for a brief anecdote - I'll readily admit that I'm a big fan of Goldrush Alaska. Well, I was looking at the 3rd season recently when the narrator was describing the awesome power of the bulldozers the crew uses. The dozers are employed to do big work like clearing granite boulders from the side of mountains. Take a moment to consider that these dozers are rated at 300 horsepower. Now imagine having almost 30% more total of that power purring right under your foot. Again, I say, this car is ffffffast!
Overall the car is very clean. And despite it being 5 years old it still has hints of "new car" freshness inside. It has been garage kept, and despite all its upgrades to lead you thinking otherwise, it has never ever been raced. It has never been in an accident for that matter either. Thanks to the garage and my driving it very little (I've put less than 20k miles on it in the 3 years I've owned it) it still has a healthy layer of clear coat. As you can see from the pictures it shines right up when clean and looks amazing during evening drives in the city.
A list of the upgrades includes the following - all of which were professionally installed and I have all the receipts to prove it:
1. Turbo kit
2. Upgraded injectors
3. Upgraded fuel pump
4. Mishimoto radiator
5. Turbo blanket
6. Upgraded brakes
7. Upgraded alloy wheels
8. All weather mats
9. Aluminium shifter
10. Boost, exhaust temp, etc. digital multi-gauge
11. Upgraded exhaust kit
12. Computer reprogramming kit
13. Thoroughly upgraded suspension (too much to list, but, again, have the receipts of all the work)
14. Dyno-tuned
15. Yakima roof rack base (crossbars not shown but are included)
16. Bumper scuff guard
17. iPod line-in adapter
18. Tinted glass
Additionally the car has a brand new VA inspection and just got an oil change.
I'm letting this go at less than blue book even though all the extras put it way north of that value. Here's the deal, despite all the good it's not perfect. There are aesthetic blemishes that need to be taken care of before the car is perfect. Though it's your choice, of course, the car is exceptional even with the blemishes. I've included pictures of these for full disclosure. I parked too close when I was rushed one day resulting in the blemish under the front fender. Then the back fender got scuffed while it was parked; the person responsible for it didn't leave a note. I got the work estimated at $1500 but then, like now, I didn't have the financial means. So you buy this car, put it in the body shop for a week, and come out with a perfect car with tons of extras for an incredible deal!

I forgot to include all the pictures. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/89coda4wqktat6v/psG9x49TO6

Subaru Viziv GT gears up for Vision Gran Turismo action [w/video]
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Ever wonder what it would look like if Subaru made a big brother to the BRZ, maybe to take on the Nissan GT-R or Japan's Super GT series? (Well, the BRZ already competes in the GT300 class, but we're talking about the GT500 major leagues here.) Wonder no more, car fans, because it'd probably look something like this. Only it's not a road car, and it's not a racecar. It's the latest addition to the growing roster of Vision Gran Turismo concepts for GT6.
Borrowing on the design theme put forth by the Viziv concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and the Viziv 2 concept showcased the following year, the Viziv GT Vision Gran Turismo is envisioned as a racing machine. Its hypothetical hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter boxer four, turbocharged and direct-injected, to a trio of high-output electric motors to deliver a claimed 591 horsepower and 593 pound-feet of torque.
Carbon fiber construction helps offset the weight of the motors and batteries to keep the hybrid racing shooting brake down to a theoretical 3,000 pounds, with competition-spec aero to keep it glued to the track. Gamers will be able to download it directly in the game as part of the latest update, but you can scope it out right here in the image gallery above and the video and press release below.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
