Executive Summary
• Single owner '05 STi
• Highest quality aftermarket parts, fully sorted mechanicals
• Professionally built and tuned engine (last dyno 389/395 at the wheels)
• Street/Autocross weapon, DD and Track Ready


The Good
• Original owner.  I know everything about the car.  I am technical professional who has treated this car with great care (and expense) since I took it off the delivery truck in May of 2004.  Always garaged.  NASIOC member since 2000 with spotless reputation.

• Powertrain.  The car is a beast.  It has been expert built, and professionally tuned.  The engine was built by WJM (may he rest in peace), Subaru Master Tech, former TopSpeed engine builder, and all-around Subaru fanatic.  Documented 389/395 in a dyno session (Doug Wilkes from TopSpeed), with explosive onset of torque.  Has been road tuned (STi Mikey from PhatBotti Tuning) since then, so I expect it is more now.  Very streetable power.  A stop-light beast, and one of the fastest vehicles at local autocross.  Solid, solid car:  no codes, the synchros don't grind.

• Suspension.  One word - spectacular.  It can handle autocross no sweat, yet still be daily driven.  RCE Tarmac II fully adjustable coil-overs with all sorts of TiC, Whiteline and Kartboy goodies.

• Interior.  The interior is mostly stock.  The alcantara seats are original and in great condition.  Fully integrated Kenwood DNX7140 with Garmin navigation, Parrot Bluetooth, DVD with Blaupunkt door speakers and aftermarket under-seat subwoofer.  A tasteful matching STi-red Omari boost gauge is mounted on the steering column.

• Exterior.  The exterior paint is in great condition, and the car shines up nicely.  The wingless trunk provides a great stealthy look, while the front scoop and lip are subtly aggressive.  The JDM fogs will catch the most discriminating Subaru enthusiast’s eye.  Professional center grill pillar removal with charcoal metallic trim paint is gorgeous.


The bad
• Nothing.  This car is awesome.

The ugly
• Nothing.  This car is awesome.  Okay, there are several small dings and scuffs that the car has collected over 10 years.  The This is not a show car.  It is a very well cared for daily-driver that was occasionally autocrossed.  The dings/scuffs don't photograph well, but I'll point them all out to prospective owners.

Personal Commentary
The 2005 Subaru STi does not have safety features such as traction control or stability control.  The electronic aides in the car are all about helping you go faster.  The car will make you look like a track hero, with 4-wheel power-on drifts that are very easy to control.  However, the car will NOT save you from a mistake.

I reserve the right to NOT show you the car or provide a test drive if I think you are not a serious buyer and/or a capable driver.  Under 18 needs a parent.  I have title in hand, buyers need to have cash/financing in hand.

Subaru WRX STI S207 limited to 400 units in Japan only

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Japanese Subaru fans are getting quite a treat in time for Halloween. The brand is unveiling the WRX STI S207 edition at the Tokyo Motor Show. Unfortunately for brand devotees elsewhere, the market-exclusive, high-performance model is limited to just 400 units there. For such a small run of cars, the folks at Subaru Tecnica International are adding quite a bit to take the STI's performance to new heights. Among the upgrades, the 2.0-liter, turbocharged boxer now makes 323 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque – a healthy jump compared to 305 hp and 290 lb-ft from the 2.5-liter engine in the US-market version. Beyond the extra power, the sedan also wears a load of parts to improve chassis stiffness and a DampMatic II adjustable front suspension from Bilstein. Styling sees some slight tweaks with a red-outlined mesh grille, chin spoiler, 19-inch BBS wheels, and a redesigned rear bumper. Inside, the front passengers are held tight in leather-trimmed Recaro seats. If the 400 units aren't exclusive enough, Subaru technically breaks the S207 into three special editions. A planned run of 200 units will feature the NBR Challenge Package that's inspired by the company's class victory in the 2015 Nurburgring 24 Hours. It adds a carbon fiber rear spoiler, black wheels, red seatbelts, and an Ultrasuede-covered steering wheel. A hundred of those are the NBR Challenge Package Yellow Edition that come exclusively in Sunrise Yellow with black-painted door mirrors and side sills. Depending on the version, prices before Japan's consumption tax would be between $46,050 and $48,950 at current exchange rates.

Just 400 units of the model, dubbed the "S207", will be available. Taking the WRX STI as its base, this complete car from STI features exclusive engine and suspension tuning as well as distinctive interior and exterior design. Embracing the STI concept of offering the ultimate in road driving, the S207 stands at the pinnacle of the STI complete car lineup and aims to be the world's most enjoyable vehicle, providing a feel-good experience to all those who travel in it regardless of road conditions and enhancing driver skill. Special engine tuning boosts maximum power output to 328 PS.

You can buy the last Subaru rally car driven by Colin McRae

Sun, Feb 14 2016

Colin McRae continued entertaining the fans for years after retiring from competing full-time in the World Rally Championship – though sadly not for enough of them. His last public appearance was at the 2007 Goodwood Festival of Speed, driving the car you see here to the crowd's delight. And now it could be yours. Though it may look mostly like any ordinary Subaru Impreza WRX STI, this is a full-on S12B rally machine. Petter Solberg drove it for the factory Subaru World Rally Team throughout most of the 2007 World Rally Championship, scoring two podium finishes. That would make it desirable enough as it is, but then McRae drove it up Lord March's front lawn (see the video below) to cement its place in history. It was the last time McRae drove in public before he died in a helicopter crash near his home in Scotland just months later. The vehicle has since been stripped down to its shell and completely rebuilt to showroom condition. It has only put on a little over 200 miles since the engine was rebuilt, and the clutch was replaced just 50 miles ago. It has new seats and harnesses, fire extinguishers, brake discs and pads, the suspension has been fully rebuilt, the wheels powder-coated afresh.... top-notch, in other words. C&M Motors out of Omagh, Northern Ireland, has it listed on RallySales.com with an asking price of GBP159,500 Β– equivalent to just over $230k at current exchange rates. That would put it in contention as one of the most expensive Subarus we've ever seen, rivaling the $238k which Sports Car Market records as having been paid for another ex-McRae Impreza just this past October.

2014 Subaru BRZ gets exceedingly modest price increase

Sun, 25 Aug 2013

Subaru has announced pricing for the 2014 BRZ, and with a $25,595 MSRP, it starts at just $100 more than the 2013 model. The destination charge adds $795 - a $25 increase over 2013 - bringing the total to $26,390.
Aside from the very modest price increase, the 2014 BRZ is essentially the same as its 2013 predecessor. The one notable change for 2014 is that Aha infotainment smartphone integration now comes with the standard navigation system. Subaru is one of the first automakers to include this feature, which delivers smartphone activity such as live news, podcasts and social media news feeds to drivers through the radio.
The rear-wheel-drive BRZ's other features remain the same, and we certainly don't have any complaints about that. It still comes with a 200-horsepower boxer engine, manufacturer-estimated fuel economy of 34 miles per gallon on the highway, 2+2 seating, and options such as dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats. Scroll down to get all the 2014 model year details in Subaru's press release.
