The time has finally come for me to sell my 2004 Impreza WRX STi. I've absolutely loved owning this car, but it is time to get something a bit more economical and practical, since our family is growing. In a nutshell, the only reason I'm selling is to get out from under the car payment, and the fact that it requires 93 octane and I do A LOT of driving. I'm in the process of purchasing a bigger commuter car which gets better mileage and doesn't require premium. Otherwise, I'd love to keep this car. Anyway, here is the run down...
The Bad: - Driver side ball joint recently started making noise. I have the new Moog joint which I will include with the purchase. - The usual small dings/rock chips from daily driving, with one rock chip that cracked a portion of paint on the front bumper. (just the paint, not the bumper itself) The Good: - I replaced the brakes with cross drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads within the last year. I also have a set of Hawk HPS pads and stainless brake lines I'll include with the purchase for your next brake job (although that won't be required for some time) - The Continental DWS tires are new with less than 4k miles on them. - Aligned at the time the new tires were mounted and balanced. - New belts and battery installed in the fall of last year. - Freshly charged A/C less than one year ago, done by Matthews. - Headlights have been replaced with new 2005 lights which are in excellent condition, and I have a spare light assembly which I'll include. - I have a pitch stop mount for the engine, which although is not installed will be included. - Car was professionally tuned by Innovative Tuning in Buffalo, and made 308awhp/318awtq on their mustang dyno (I have the dyno sheet). In reality, that translates to around 330awhp and 340awtq. The car really is a solid car with very few mechanical needs. Essentially, the only thing I can think of is the driver side ball joint. I drove it down to the Outer Banks for a wedding last year and averaged 29mpg on the highway. Needless to say, it is excellent in the snow with the new DWS tires. I was just underneath it checking things over a few hours ago, and there are no leaks anywhere. In addition, the car really doesn't consume anything (oil wise) in between changes. It should be mentioned that this 04 STi has an engine and turbocharger from a 2007 STi. Although the mileage can't truly be verified, that engine/turbo allegedly had 35k on it when I purchased the vehicle. The swap was verified by Innovative up in Buffalo NY, and you're more than welcome to confirm that as well. As can be seen in the pics, overall the car is in very good condition. As far as modifications go, it has a Perrin front mount intercooler, ACT clutch, Greddy turboback exhaust, cone air filter (not sure of brand), and a great tune from Innovative. To be clear, the idle is at 1500 RPMs in the picture of the gauge cluster because I'd just started the car. It will settle down to less than 1000 RPMs when warm. Also, all of the power windows work just fine. I simply had the driver/passenger window down during the pictures to let some heat out. The miles are low for the year, with just a little over 90k on the clock. Please, no low ballers, joy riders, or tire kickers. Don't waste my time and yours. ***SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY***!! Do NOT bid unless you intend to buy. If you are new to eBay and/or have 0 feedback, PLEASE contact me before bidding. Lastly, the buyer will be responsible for either picking up the car or arranging for shipment. I will work with you to get the car where it needs to go (local shipping point), if you are planning on having it shipped. If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding! |

Don't expect an all-new Subaru WRX until 2020
Wed, Dec 28 2016Despite Subaru completely overhauling the Impreza for 2017, it appears the WRX will stick around on its current platform for another few years. That's the word from Motoring in Australia, who spoke with an senior engineer from Subaru about a WRX replacement. For those that can't wait, the good news is that a WRX refresh is coming for 2018, which should carry the car for another few years. It should be no surprise that a full WRX redesign is a few years off. Although the fourth generation Impreza was released in 2011, the current WRX has only been on sale since the 2015 model year. Given an average five-year cycle, we can most likely expect a redesign for 2020. It's not clear how extensive the refresh will be or if the STI will finally drop the ancient EJ-series 2.5-liter turbocharged flat four engine for the more modern FA-series 2.0-liter turbocharged flat four engine found in the regular WRX. Rumors have been swirling for years of what else a full-redesign may encompass. The current model was rumored to have an electric turbocharger that obviously never appeared. There have been other rumors of a switch to a hybrid powertrain. While that may work when the WRX finally uses the updated Impreza platform, don't expect to see hybrid power in the refreshed model. Subaru says the time it would take to engineer such a system would be too great to have it available for 2018. The new Impreza's platform is designed to fit a hybrid system, so don't rule out the possibility of a WRX hybrid.

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing
Mon, Dec 29 2014The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.

Toyota 86 most likely to get more power through more displacement? [w/poll]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013The Sydney Morning Herald has spoken to Tetsuya Tada, chief engineer of the Toyota 86 (our version of it, the Scion FR-S, is pictured above), and they've been promised that more power is on the way. We've heard a lot of speculation about a more powerful Toyobaru since before the standard model was even launched. The only question now is how the power will be delivered, and among the engine concepts we've already heard about - turbo, supercharger, twin-charged, hybrid - is a new one: more displacement.
Tada said that an engine with more displacement than the current coupe's 2.0 liters is being tested alongside a turbocharged and a hybrid-assisted motor. The SMH cites "inside sources" as saying the displacement option is the one likely to get the go-ahead, and suggests increased bore and stroke will see the engine grow to 2.5 liters, horsepower to about 250 - a 50-hp increase over the present car.
While that's apparently the betting man's solution for the long-awaited increase in gumption, what happens with the next generation could be more wide open than we suspected. According to the report, Tada "hinted that [a successor] could be a radically different car, potentially dropping the boxer engine altogether." He said once they've sorted out the concept for the second generation car, then they'll sort out an engine. That's where a turbo option could come to market, perhaps the turbocharged four-cylinder Toyota is developing for the Lexus NX crossover or a hybrid system that uses a capacitor.
