I’m selling my super clean and extremely well cared for 2004 WRX.  I changed jobs Jan 1st and for the first time in 3 years now have to deal with a traffic-filled commute.  I just bought my first automatic and am selling the WRX… in 12 years I’ve never owned an automatic; hopefully I don’t end up regretting it.

 

2004 Subaru WRX Sedan 5MT

Platinum Silver Metallic

125,xxx miles

2 total owners

 

 

If you’re in the market for a “blobeye” WRX that is fun to drive but also reliable enough to count on day in and day out, then this is it.  This car has never lived up north and hasn’t seen anything more than a light dusting of snow and has never once been exposed to salt of any kind.  I am only the second owner of the car and have had it the past 6 years; I know it forwards and backwards.   When I first got the car, it wasn’t in as good of mechanical shape as I had thought.  It ended up being a blessing in disguise thanks to Subaru and their SAS Gold warranty; the car is in better shape today than it was when I purchased it back in January of 2008.  When I originally purchased it in Atalnta, GA I had thought I was getting transferred to Denver but instead I was relocated to Los Angeles for 1 year and then have been in Dallas the last 5 years.  The car has never seen snow and other than the couple of small dents (2 on hood and 1 on front right fender) is in great shape.  Since I’ve owned it, the car has always been garaged.

 

Back in 2008, the engine seized up on me within a few months of owning the car and Subaru replaced the entire short block and turbo at 71,xxx.  Subaru also replaced the synchros in 3rd and 4th.  At the time, the heads were still in spec so those didn’t get replaced.  I had the heads completely re-machined and rebuilt at 92,xxx.  I also replaced every engine seal as well as all of the head studs.  I haven’t had any mechanical issues since and the car is never tracked, auto-x’d or raced… just a plain old daily driver that gets me around DFW.  They only time the revs ever see > 4K is the occasional highway onramp but that is rare.  After the engine seized at 71k on Mobil1, I started using Castrol Syntec (full synthetic) and change the oil every 3,500-4k.  All the major suspension upgrades were done within the last 5,000 miles. I also have a full maintenance log that details everything that has been done to the car.  The last compression test was on 4/26/13 and was 150psi across all cylinders.

 

For a full rundown of what I consider tasteful and functional mods to the car, please see below:

  • Stage 2 WRX tuned by Keith @ AWD Tuning in Flower Mound, TX.  225whp (~300hp at crank)

  • Hardwired Passport 8500

 

 

I have all the stock parts (exhaust, wheels, suspension, and head unit) and am planning to include them, as well as the iPhone and radar detector.  The car is located in Dallas, TX and I have the clean title in hand. 

 

Asking price is $11,500 obo for a super clean, adult owned and well taken care of WRX.

Subaru is America's third most off-roaded brand

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

When you think of iconic off-road brands, where does Subaru fall on your radar? Somewhere in the middle? Perhaps near the bottom? Don't worry, you're not alone. Until recently spending some time in Bend, OR, where we drove the all-new 2015 Subaru Outback, we never really pegged the Japanese automaker to be a highly lauded brand among off-road enthusiasts, despite many of the company's products actually being quite capable when the going gets rough.
But the data says we're wrong. According to a 2013 J.D. Power study, Subaru vehicles have some of the highest use off road compared to other brands - of course "off road" here just means anything not on a paved road, so even gravel trails and tame two-tracks count in these statistics. Nearly 29.5 percent of its cars are used on trails and dirt roads, with only the Ram and Jeep brands besting that statistic, at 30.2 and 31.0 percent, respectively. Said another way, Subaru sold 424,683 vehicles in the US in 2013, meaning that some 125,281 saw off-road use. Mainstream brands like GMC, Ford and Chevrolet all trail Subaru, and even Land Rover comes in at less than 20 percent.
Some 34.7 percent of Outbacks are taken off paved roads, according to J.D. Power data.

Travis Pastrana puts on blue and gold Subaru jacket again

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

Travis Pastrana partnered with Subaru for eleven years, the relationship going especially well from 2006 to 2010 when Pastrana won four consecutive Rally America National Championships. They broke up in 2010 to give Pastrana space for his NASCAR fling and a couple of years in Global Rallycross with Dodge.
Giving up on his NASCAR dream last November has made possible a reconciliation with his former automotive love: Subaru has just announced that Pastrana will return to its Rally Team USA for the 2014 Rally America Championship, partnering with veteran team driver and current Rally America champion David Higgins.
Although the season begins later this month in Atlanta, Michigan, Pastrana won't return until the second round in February, the Rally in the 100 Acre Wood in Salem, Missouri. He'll also be at the start of the Global Rallycross round of the X-Games in June, but in a WRX STI this year instead of his erstwhile Dodge Dart. You'll find a press release below with a few more bits of information, and there's always this trip down memory lane...
