This car was purchased from Nate Wade Subaru in Salt Lake City in 2006. I am the original owner. Vehicle was a semi daily driver for about 2 years. It was a typical stage 2 car, Cobb Accessport, TBE, suspension goodies etc. During that time, the car was driven in the snow less than 5 times. Oil was changed every 3k miles. Car did not see any form of racing or abusive driving.

2008, car underwent a fairly major facelift. Rallysportdirect helped plan the build of the car as well as source all after market parts. Solid Autoworks, a great shop in Salt Lake, with a sterling reputation completed installation of all parts. They have also overseen all maintenance during the life of the car, as well as a recent compression leak-down test. 

Local body shop, Kindig It Design, installed body pieces and completely prepped and repainted the exterior of the car. Fitment of after market body pieces are OEM quality. Factory paint code was used, but with a much thicker higher quality paint. No painting in engine bay or interior of car. This body shop is known for their award winning SEMA cars and hot rod cover cars. 

Christian from Cobb tuning layed down base tune to use during proper motor break in period. With use of CobbAccessport EM, a few different maps were made to use. John Shafer of Akuma Motorsports, who was with Cobb tuning at the time, was the last person to tune the car. With race gas and meth, the car made 520 awhp at 4300 feet above sea level, on a mustang dyno. The only thing holding the car back was the fuel system. At this point, I was pretty much done chasing power and dumping money into the car. I had the option to upgrade the fuel system, but the car already had plenty of power and would forever be beyond my driving capabilities. 

The car has remained unchanged over the last ~4 years. Since the big build, it has never seen snow. It has remained garaged and covered, sometimes for long periods of time. Care was taken to preserve integrity of fluids during periods of sitting in the garage. All regular maintenance has been kept up with and performed at professional shop, Solid Auto. Vehicle has been respected and kept up with, body and interior are in near flawless condition. Engine bay is very clean, as is the underbody. The car recently was in the shop for regular service and thoroughly inspected. Compression-leakdown test revealed 0% compression loss in 3 cylinders and 1% loss in one. I attended one open track session at Miller Motorsports Park, participating in a GT Live event. This was by no means wheel to wheel racing, rather hot laps for the uninitiated to driving a road course. Car performed perfectly. The driver, could have used a lot of work.  Other than this occasion, car has NEVER been launched, dragged or abused. Many would say I never even drive the car like it is meant to be driven. No street racing or other freeway bull**** either. Car has been run on pump gas and no meth, for 99% of the time since it was done being built. I wish I could stomach paying for race gas all the time.

I am selling this car because I lost the desire and interest in modified cars a few years ago. The car has sentimental value and I debated on parting with it for awhile. I have a small family now and I could also put some of the money from the sale of it towards future education. Finding it a good home, with somebody who would really enjoy it would be great. Hopefully someone will appreciate the quality of the parts used and the care taken to maintain it.  If you are familiar with modified imports and after market parts and modifications, you will know that this is a very well put together build.  No corners were cut and nothing was overlooked.  The mindset was to buy nice, not twice.  I am listing it at a price that is honestly considered to be very low, even when you consider that modifications do not add that much to resale value.  The fact of the matter is that this is a $100,000 STi.  Cost of the motor alone was $14k.  That's not something I like to flaunt or even share with my closest friends.  But after the cost of all the parts, professional installation, multiple tuning sessions on the dyno and the cost of the bodywork and paint job, that is an honest assessment.  $30,000 is a straight up steal, especially when you can have a magazine cover car, for less than the price of a new WRX.  This car is ready to be very competitive in road racing events, if you don't mind getting such a pretty car dirty.  It also turns a lot of heads rolling into any car meet.  Someone could do very well with it at car shows.  And if nothing else, it is a blast to just take out for a drive.  The car drives like it's on rails and pulls like a freight train.  You can embarrass plenty of domestic V8 owners and lots of exotic import owners, should you feel so inclined.  A little food for thought, the car will easily surpass 700 hp at sea levels.

Drive looks at a pair of STI-ified Subaru Impreza RS Coupes

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Among tuners, the legions of Subaru fans are hard to top, displaying all the fanaticism of English soccer fans and a dedication to their vehicles that borders on obsessive. These are compliments, by the way. In the latest video from Drive, Matt Farah takes a look at a pair of very special Imprezas - early Impreza 2.5RS Coupes that have had some serious heart transplants.
The first, a traditional blue model, sports the 2.5-liter, turbocharged flat-four from the 2004 WRX STI, which is good for around 300 horsepower. The other Impreza is a bit more hardcore - the engine is a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the JDM WRX STI, which we suppose makes it more of an Impreza 2.0RS Coupe. Besides the different engines, both cars represent the unique ideas and style of their owners.
The 10-minute video explores this, digging into why people tune, and how it's a reflection of their own personal driving style and character. Take a look below for another fun vid from the team at Drive.

Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830

Fri, May 3 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
