Year:2002 Mileage:139000
Location:

Alhambra, California, United States

Alhambra, California, United States

I never thought I'd sell this car but then again, my growing family isn't fitting with this car I've never stopped loving.  It is the right time for me to say goodbye to this WRX. 

I'm the second owner of this car. It currently has 139,xxx original miles on the odometer.  It's on it's original engine and runs very strong.  Originally bought from Santa Monica Subaru in 2004.  The first owner was an older lady and the car was in near perfect conditions. Over the years I've upgraded a very long list of things on the vehicle inside and out. 

Here's a brief list of upgrades:
VF30 Turbo
UR600 injectors
Godspeed catless up pipe
high flow catted down pipe
custom flanged 3" to 2.5" mid pipe
Scoobysport round tip axle back 
Perrin silicone turbo inlet hose
MAF hose
turbo heat shield
Scoobysport exhaust
Pro Tuned by Cobb, fountain valley
04 WRX front seats
04 STi BBS rims running 225/17/40
JDM projector headlights
paint matched side skirts (stock ones are unpainted black)
complete Subaru Carbon Fiber pattern interior trim pieces
aftermarket stereos with bluetooth & handsfree
Prosport Boost Gauge
RCE yellow springs
Tokico D-spec Struts
STi GroupN top hat
Whiteline end links front+back
Whiteline 22/24 sway bars front+back
STi top mount radiator
JDM STi hood scoop
JDM STi front grill with STi badge
STi steering bushings
Sound dampening installed on all 4 doors and the hatch
Carbon Fiber center console storage bin lid



I brought the car over to COBB in Fountain Valley, CA to tune and they addressed several pin hole leakage to some of the hoses and swapped out to upgraded silicon hoses.  Smoke test were done and the boost system is absolutely perfect.  The car was dynode at their facility at 284hp and 282ft-lbs torque at 18.5lbs boost which is at a conservative and safe level. The ignition timing was just recently tuned again so the car just runs perfectly smooth. It's been well taken care of with every single possible maintenance done over the past and I have the paperwork to prove it. The suspension setup is done just right so it's a street setup that you can confidently throw it into the corners and stay planted but it won't break your back. Alignment is absolutely perfect and there's plenty of life in the tires. We also pulled all 4 injectors and had each of them professionally calibrated. All in all, this car is complete.

Cons: 
- my upgraded auto dimming mirror started fading, it still kinda works and i bought a new one but they shipped me a wrong one. I can give you the whole thing and let you figure it out with the seller.
- driver side windshield fluid sprayer just broke, it might just be clogged.
- headlights are a bit cloudy after all these years and it could use a polish
- few minor scratches front bumper and rear
- rock chips that you would normally expect from a 12 year old car, but actually in very decent shape consider its age
- over all the years i only curbed the car twice but it's only cosmetic and you probably won't even notice it

I'm setting a relatively low reserve because I simply don't have garage space for her.  I also have the original muffler I can include in the car in case you prefer something more quiet.

The vehicle is located in Chino Hills near Los Angeles CA if you'd like to come and inspect.  Please feel free ask if you have any questions or if you'd like to see any additional photos.

I prefer not to ship the vehicle but will ship at buyer's expense.  I will only take certified form of payment or cash


On Mar-04-14 at 22:46:52 PST, seller added the following information:

upgrades that I forgot to mention:


  • Protorque torque converter upgrade.  This is significant and is what makes this car very drivable. It takes away much of the turbo lag and allows the engine to rev smoothly at lower rpm. 
  • 04 WRX front seats - they're exactly the same as the same year STi ones except the fabric. They provide superb lower back support and hugs very well considering they're non racing seats.
  • STi floor mats
  • lightweight pulley
  • MAF silicon hose (along with several other major hoses upgraded to Perrin silicon ones)
  • COBB electronic boost controller
  • COBB AP2 Accessport - I have the AP2 married to the car and I cannot take it out without unmarking it to the car so this will be included with the purchase.  It allows you to do data logging, read live data e.g. live boost level, read CEL codes, adjust idle speed, and comes with several custom tuned maps)
  • Sony MEXBT3800U CD receiver - equipped with XM, bluetooth (music + phone), removable face plate, etc.
  • Wheel locks x 4
  • Timing belt was changed at 120,496 miles on 10/19/2011.  
I'm sure I'm still leaving out some more upgrades but I'll try my very best to list them all here.  Again, everything is professionally installed and meticulously put together with drivability in mind. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions at all. Thanks!

Subaru BRZ to get second generation, says exec

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Hallelujah friends, hallelujah. One of the highest voices in Subaru's parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, has just said that the boxer-obsessed automaker will release a second generation of the lovable BRZ.
Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, president of FHI, has summarily shot down assertions made by Tetsuya Tada, the chief engineer for the Toyota GT86. In a recent interview with an Australian publication, Tada claimed that Subaru had not decided whether it would be involved in the followup effort to the rear-drive coupe, and even speculated that the Toyota could team with BMW for a second-gen car, instead.
"If I were to be told that, I'd pass out. It's not going to be just one generation," Yoshinaga-san told Automotive News.

2015 Subaru WRX and WRX STI configurator comes online

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Subaru fans, get your clicking fingers ready - the configurator for both the 2015 WRX and the WRX STI are live on the company's consumer website.
With three trims of the standard WRX and two of the WRX STI available, customers can price out their ideal rally rocket. Aside from choosing a trim level, there's not a whole lot for dreamers to do here. A single interior trim (black) can be paired with a decent spectrum of colors. Each trim level only comes with one optional package, which ranges from $2,000 to $2,500 and includes some combination of navigation, a Harmon/Kardon stereo or push-button start. There are also a number of dealer-installed accessories available, as well.
Hop on over to Subaru's US consumer page, and start building your perfect road-legal rally car.

Subaru SVX to be resurrected with hybrid power?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Salt. Get the salt. A new report out of Australia is claiming that Subaru is working on a new SVX. Yes, seriously.
Now, this is not feasible for a pair of huge reasons. First, the demand for a two-door Subaru, as we've seen with the BRZ, has not been tremendous. Second, the original SVX was a pretty horrible seller. Could the world be ready for a revival, though?
According to an unnamed source that spoke to Motoring.com.au, the reborn SVX will be based on the Viziv 2 Concept that was shown at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it will be a considerably more aggressive design, arriving as a low, wide shooting brake. According to the Aussies, the reborn SVX would ride on a new Subaru Global Platform, which will underpin the next-generation Tribeca, because of that platform's support for hybridization.
