Up for sale is my 2008 WRX hatchback.  87,300 miles and counting.  Stage 1 Torqued Performance tune since I bought it when it had 30k miles on it. The car is primarily my daily driver and has never been autocrossed, rallied, road raced, pulled, shifted hard, or even redlined.  Other than when I got the car tuned on a Torqued Performance tune, it has been babied.  I use to drive to work, visit my girlfriend, and cart my bicycles around, and that’s about it.  That being said, the car does have an extensive list of modifications, all of which were done by me personally and a very good friend and trusted mechanic, so everything has been done correctly.  Most of the mods, however, are NOT power mods.  The only and very few engine-related mods were done while servicing something else that made whatever part easy to replace, and the tune has been adjusted for the engine-related mods.  Most of the work went into bettering the interior, chassis, suspension, and making the car nicer rather than faster.  Car has $7,800 worth of aftermarket parts.

THE BAD.  Hillstart-assist and traction control don’t work.  The lights came on two years ago and the car works perfectly other than those lights being on.  ABS still works, but no traction control and hillstart-assist.  To fix this might be as simple as plugging in a wire or something, but I just didn’t want to mess with it as it doesn’t affect the function and performance of a car.   Airbag light recently came on for a bad driver’s airbag, which I had replaced with a new one.  That code went away, but the airbag light is still on.

I did an STI center console swap and STI front seat swap.  Wheels and tires came off a 0 mile 2012 WRX and have 1.5 summers of easy, oldman driving on them.  Torqued Performance tune/Cobb Accessport comes with the car.  Tune is solid and has been adjusted for the composite TGV deletes so that there are no CELs.  Acceleration is buttery smooth.  Nothing like the Cobb OTS maps or the OEM map.  Rotella T6 full synthetic oil changed every 3k miles on the dot by me personally.  Only Subaru OEM oil filters used.  Full sound deadening on both inside and outside door skins on all four doors and the hatch lid and floor.  HID low beams from The Retrofit Source, 4300K pure white.  None of the weird blue color you see with other HIDs.  LED interior lights, license plate bulbs, and LED switchback turn signals.  Full list of mods is included.

The car will be sold as it sits.  No parts will be taken off to decrease the value.  I am getting out of the Subaru game entirely, so I don’t want to mess with parting it out.  I am selling the car simply because it’s time to move on.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Never smoked in and never had any animals in it.

Pricing: $15,000.  Cash or cashier’s check.  If using cashier’s check, then the car and title will not be handed over until my bank has cleared the funds. 

NO payment plans.  NO trades.  NO lowballs.  Reasonable offers will be considered.  The car accelerates, runs, stops, and corners perfectly and without defect.  Test drives for serious buyers only.  NO test drives without me present in the car.  NO hard accelerating, braking, shifting, etc, during a test drive.  If you test drive the car, know that it is still my car and will be driven lightly.  NO joyrides.  NO joyrides.  NO joyrides.  Buyer will be required to sign a bill of sale at the time of purchase.  No minors without their parents/decision makers present.  Be confident and knowledgeable of how to drive a 5-speed.  You will not be learning in my car.  And again, reasonable offers will be considered.

Subaru XV concept: Just more wishful thinking?

Thu, Mar 3 2016

Subaru has long been criticized as being rather weak-kneed when it comes to styling. That's not entirely true. In recent years they have displayed some really attractive-to-stunning concepts. The last-generation Impreza concept was very attractive, as was the most recent Legacy concept. The WRX concept shown a couple of years ago was a visual knockout, and the same can be said for the most recent Impreza concepts—as well as this new XV (Crosstrek) concept. The problem has been much of the visual excitement of those concepts got lost in the translation from concept to production. So we know that Subaru has great design talent; the concepts have proven that. The problem, as I see it, is those in a position to approve design for production don't seem to understand design. Now I'm sure it's a lot more complicated than just that. It involves marketing folks, engineers, as well as those suits that call the shots at FHI. Many of those in decision-making positions just don't seem to get it. However I do have to say that each succeeding generation of Subaru has got better looking. So slowly (very slowly) they are making progress. The problem is, the competition has gotten better too — much better. Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Mazda have been hitting it out of the park when it comes to styling; all the while Subaru has been hitting solid singles along with a few walks. That said I do have a good feeling about this new XV concept. It really does look close to being production-ready. The proportions are right, there is nothing outrageous or impractical here. There are even small non-roll-down (visually distracting, but absolutely necessary) side windows, which I rarely if ever see on concepts. The proof will be in the pudding when the new Impreza debuts at the New York Auto Show later this month. Fingers crossed.

Subaru STI display celebrates the division's high-performance history in New York

Wed, Apr 1 2015

Subaru Tecnica International is really getting to celebrate itself at the 2015 New York Auto Show. Not only is the Japanese brand's performance division showing off a turbocharged take on the BRZ in the Big Apple, it also set up a small exhibit commemorating four past achievements. The oldest car of the group is a 1996 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type RA wearing full rally garb. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer four-cylinder kicks out 270 horsepower, but this specific one isn't a competitor. Instead, Subaru used the vehicle to promote the launch of the 1998 Impreza 2.5RS. STI also has one of the most coveted Subarus ever on display, a 1999 Impreza 22B STI. These limited two-door models were made to celebrate the company's World Rally Championship victories. Each one was plucked off the assembly line and fitted with a curvaceous, wider body and adjustable rear wing. Power was provided by a 2.2-liter turbocharged boxer four-cylinder with 280 horsepower. The final two members of this mini museum are a bit more modern. The 2004 WRX STI should be familiar to performance fans in the US with its 300-horsepower boosted 2.5-liter four-cylinder and six-speed manual. There's also the 2015 WRX STI that blitzed the Isle of Man last year to set a new lap record of 19 minutes and 26 seconds around the island course. With STI planning a US expansion over the coming years, this is a fantastic reminder of the division's past. Hopefully, it can keep living up to these high standards. Related Video:
