2006 Subaru Impreza WRX TR

You're looking at a clean southern WRX with a ton of recent maintenance and performance goodies. This car should be capable of a reliable 300+ WHP with a tune!

The story (why am I selling?)

I got this car this past winter with the intention of using it for track days and time trials. If you know anything about Subarus, you know they rust like crazy, so when I saw how clean this southern car was underneath, I just had to have it. The fact that it was a TR (no sunroof, less weight) was a bonus for me as well. It needed a little work when I got it, so I took the time to go over the entire thing and replace/fix anything that even remotely needed it in order to ensure reliability at the track. It was a nice winter project, but in the summer my priorities shifted back towards rally, and I decided to focus on my rally car instead. The car received a very conservative, low boost, non-meth tune so that I could use it as a daily driver. However, since I live 2 miles from work and have another daily driver, the car pretty much just sat in my parents garage most of the year, I've only put about 1500 miles on it. I'm selling this car to free up some space and money for my rally projects, my loss, your gain! Hopefully this gorgeous car goes to someone who can truly appreciate it.

Modifications and Recent Maintenance (most things on this list have less than 1000 miles)

Engine
* Low mileage VF30 turbo with custom waste gate bracket for an EWG setup (not welded shut!)
* Turbo blanket
* GrimmSpeed EWG up-pipe, thermal wrapped
* Tial 38mm EWG with 10psi spring (had two springs in when I got it, the other 10psi spring included)
* GrimmSpeed EWG v-band dump tube
* DW 1000cc injectors
* DevilsOwn meth injection kit with controller and disable/enable button
* Custom 3" turbo cat-less turbo back (note: car does not have any catalytic converters at all)
* SPT intake
* Perrin inlet pipe
* Custom silicone y-pipe
* Huge top mount intercooler (Greddy, according to the PO, though I can't verify)
* Air pump delete with custom block off plates (stock parts included in sale)
* Gates racing timing belt and pulleys
* Alternator/PS and AC belt
* Thermostat and gasket
* Upper and lower rad hoses
* NGK iridium spark plugs
* New rear main seal (didn't need it, but changed since the clutch/flywheel was being swapped)
* New exhaust and turbo gaskets
* New BOV gasket
* Conservative daily driver tune (stock boost levels, WGDC related tables, timing, target AFRs…etc)
* AEM wideband sensor and gauge
* AEM EGT sensor and gauge

Brakes
* Techna-fit SS braided lines

* New OEM-spec pads front and rear
* Speed bleeders front and rear
* ATE superblue fluid

Interior
* ATI gauge pod with AEM gauges. Properly wired with relays, fuses, and independent power source

* Wired for an amp/sub in the trunk.

Exterior
Always hand washed and waxed.
* STI Hood
* STI Trunk with STI wing
* 04/05 tail lights

Condition

Exterior
This car is originally from the south, and has only seen one winter worth of snow/salt, so the body is in great condition rust wise. That said, this is an 8 year old car with 100+k miles on it, so there are the normal dings, scratches, and paint chips (see pictures). The car has been in a minor fender bender at some point (see Carfax report), a fender and headlight have been replaced and the whole car resprayed. I had the fenders off to confirm that there is absolutely no evidence of frame damage and the paint job was as good or better than factory Subaru. The car has been hand washed and hand waxed during the time that I've owned it.

Interior
Interior is about average for the cars age and mileage. The seats and door cards have shampooed and steam vac'd by me this summer. The only blemishes are some wear on a steering wheel, a small burn mark in the rear seat (see pictures). There used to be a 3-pillar gauge-pod installed on the car (comes with it), so there are a couple small holes in the trim on the drivers side and the passenger side trim is painted black to match. It seems the car has been smoked in at some point, though the previous owner was not a smoker and neither am I. A/C needs a recharge according to the PO, I haven't driven the car in hot weather, so I haven't touched it.

Engine
The car has a very conservative daily driver tune on it right now and runs great. Always starts up on the first try, there is no smoke, leaks, or weird noises. Even though it's rare, for full disclosure, like most modified cars, there is an occasional check engine light. In this case it's an occasional random misfire, most likely due to the light weight flywheel - well known issue with Subarus. Car drives fine, and you can't feel it, but the light does come on. There is also a small pinhole leak in the down pipe, it's pretty irrelevant since the EWG dump tube dumps about 4 inches away anyway. Tune wise, it's a very safe DD tune, so it is at around stock WRX power levels, and will need a different map (up to you) to boost over stock levels and make use of meth injection.

Suspension
Great condition. I think the car used to have aftermarket suspension on it, because this one feels like it's brand new. Rides awesome, handles awesome.

Brakes
Brand new, feel fantastic. ABS light is on due to sensor (according to PO). I don't like Subaru ABS at all (I think it's way too sensitive), so I haven't bothered fixing it.

BONUS PARTS!

A $1000 worth of goodies that will come with the car -
* TBO TD05-20G turbocharger. Freshly rebuilt
* Air pump parts. In case you want to put it back for some reason
* Alpine Subwoofer/enclosure - can be hooked up in the trunk!
* JVC touchscreen double DIN head unit.
* Kenwood amp - can be hooked up in the trunk!

2018 Subaru WRX and WRX STI pair updated looks with performance upgrades

Thu, Jan 5 2017

For 2018, Subaru has given the WRX and WRX STI a mild refresh on the outside, and a few significant tweaks under the skin. Starting with the exterior, the lower grille openings on both models have been enlarged and given a bit of extra black trim for a more aggressive look. In fact, the change is a bit reminiscent of the dearly departed Mitsubishi Evo, with the black trim of the lower center grille extending to the bottom of the bumper. The WRX Limited and all STI models also get turning LED headlights, and the STI gets bigger 19-inch wheels. The interior also features subtle tweaks including a larger screen in the instrument panel for all models, as well as thicker door glass and foam in the windshield header to the make the car quieter. Both models also now come with roof rack mounting brackets, a new rear armrest with cupholders, and, according to Subaru, improved interior materials. And the WRX and STI are also now available with eight-way power adjustable Recaro seats. The Recaros are standard on the top trim STI, optional on the standard STI, and available in the new Performance Package for WRX models. This brings us to perhaps the biggest update, that aforementioned WRX Performance Package. In addition to the Recaro seats, it comes with upgraded brake pads covered in bright red calipers. The package also eliminates the moonroof, which hardcore enthusiasts know will save weight up high. The STI gets a notable brake upgrade. New Brembo brakes feature six-piston calipers at the front, and two-piston units at the back, and they're all painted a vivid yellow hue. Those calipers act on bigger, drilled rotors using equally enlarged brake pads. Subaru also retuned the car's Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD). Both the WRX and STI also have retuned suspension all around. If this all sounds great to you, you should be able to pick one up at your local Subaru dealer this spring. Related Video:

Subaru XV Crosstrek gets special edition model, retina-searing paint

Wed, Jan 7 2015

It's not going to be hard to spot the buyers of the upcoming 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek Special Edition driving around town thanks to the model's exclusive, blazing Sunrise Yellow paint. But you can think of the loud color as Subaru's way of celebrating a record year in 2014 with 513,693 vehicles sold, easily beating its half-million-car goal. The Crosstrek was also the company's third-best-selling vehicle last year, behind the Forester and Outback. Limited to 1,000 units that begin arriving in the spring, the Special Edition is priced at $25,290, plus $850 destination and delivery. For that money, Subaru gives buyers a compact crossover based on the 2.0i Premium with some extra kit. In addition to the sunny paint, all of these models come with a power moonroof, body-color folding mirrors and blackened headlight bezels. The all-weather package is also standard with heated exterior mirrors, a windshield wiper de-icer and heated front seats. The biggest upgrade inside is Subaru's Starlink multimedia system that includes a seven-inch touchscreen with voice-activated controls, multi-touch support and two USB ports. Keyless access with push-button start and leather wrapping for the shift lever and steering wheel also come with this version. There's nothing new underneath the bright paint and improved interior, though. The Special Editions get the same 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine making 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque as the rest of the lineup. As expected, power is routed through a CVT to Subie's all-wheel drive system. Read more below about Subaru's limited take on the Crosstrek. SUBARU ANNOUNCES XV CROSSTREK SPECIAL EDITION - Limited edition production model with 1,000 units - Based on 2.0i Premium trim - New exterior color Sunrise Yellow - Priced at $25,290 Cherry Hill, N.J. - Subaru of America, Inc., which has posted record-breaking sales every year for the past six years, today announced the introduction of the 2015 XV Crosstrek Special Edition. The Special Edition will be limited production of 1,000 models arriving into retailers in Spring 2015. Based on the well-equipped 2.0i Premium trim, the Special Edition is priced at $25,290 (plus $850 d&d). The versatile, fun-to-drive XV Crosstrek combines bold five-door design, a highly capable chassis, best-in-class fuel economy and in-demand multimedia features.

Subaru bringing new XV concept to Geneva

Tue, Feb 9 2016

The high-riding, Impreza-based Subaru Crosstrek is due for an update. So to whet our appetites, Subaru's showing a concept that previews the new XV. The concept will debut in Geneva, and it's being teased today in the image above. The Japanese automaker isn't saying much about what will go into the new XV Concept, and the teaser doesn't give us much to go on aside from an impression of body-cladded ruggedness. But it isn't hard to see what direction Subaru is going in here. It already revealed the Impreza 5-Door Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, and the Impreza Sedan Concept in LA shortly thereafter, each previewing different bodystyles for Fuji Heavy's compact model. Like the Outback Sport before it, the Crosstrek is essentially a beefed-up version of the current Impreza. So we'd expect the new XV concept to follow a similar path, building upon the show cars we saw recently in Japan and California and taking them down a more rugged path for the European show. We'll look forward to seeing how it shapes up, but more than that, to seeing how Subaru implements the designs for production.

The Subaru XV Concept will be unveiled at the press briefing scheduled for 11:15 AM (Central European Time) on March 1 at Subaru booth. The special site will opens today on the Subaru Global Site. http://www.subaru-global.com/2016geneva.html The site will feature information updates relating to the Geneva International Motor Show including Subaru's press conference.
