I purchased the car in December of 2010 from Huffines Subaru in Texas. Has been very well cared for. Synthetic oil every 5k miles. Synthetic diff oil in front and rear differentials. New brake pads and front rotors. AC system just evacuated and charged. The only non-factory items it has are:

1. An aux input to the original radio.

2. Fuel filter moved from the tank to the engine bay for easier access (exactly like the 2004 models had it)

Good:

The car has good tires with plenty of tread left. Less than a year old.

New brakes and front rotors

New original type windshield (orig had a small chip turn into a huge crack overnight...have all receipts)

AC just serviced

All original

Synthetic fluids

Never modded or raced.

Interior is just nearly perfect. Seriously.

Original spare and tools

Most of my receipts including all the documentation from my purchase and many parts and services I performed over the last 4 years.

Pulls great

No smoke

Bad:

The original wheels have seen better days. They are pretty scuffed up and a couple even have bends. They hold a tire and I like originality so I kept them on it but they really need work or replaced.

Hail and scrape damage to the car. (If you want more detailed pictures of the damage, just notify me and I'll try to get some extreme closeups at an angle...it's just really hard to see on a white car but the damage is less noticeable in the pics than it is in person.

If Ebay allows it, here is a link to close-up video of the car and how it looks:

The oil spots on the concrete under the WRX are NOT from this car. They are from the old Riviera that was parked in that spot a few minutes earlier. The WRX does not leak.

Pictures speak for themselves. ***

***Apparently the pictures really do not speak for themselves:

EDIT: After viewing the pictures on Ebay, the hail damage is not as visible as it should be. Look at the close-up of the car roof. That will give you a better idea. The primary affected areas are the hood and roof and a little on the trunk lid, although every panel took at least a couple hits. The car still looks great from 15 feet away, but up close you can see it. It never bothered me because the car runs and drives great and the interior is so good, but if you like extremely straight body work, you'll have to put in a little time or money. That's why the car is priced almost 3k below blue book.

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...

Factory Five's Subaru WRX-based 818 kit now on sale [w/video]

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

The Subaru WRX has always needed a dash more style, and the do-it-yourself carmakers at Factory Five are looking to accomplish a lot more than that with their new mid-engine, rear-wheel drive 818. The sports car started with a contest in 2011 to create the shape for the company's next vehicle, while sticking within certain limits. A designer named Nouphone Bansasi had his entry chosen, and first cars were completed last year.
The 818 is named after its target weight of 818 kilograms (1,803 pounds), and it's offered in two forms. The S starts at $9,990 and is meant for street use, with two seats and a basic interior. The R model for $10,990 is more track-focused and features a tiny windshield and full roll cage. The company claims that complete cars can be built for around $15,000, after factoring in the donor Subaru. Performance is very brisk, with acceleration to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, according to Motor Authority.
The kits are meant to be something that even a relative novice could put together. All the builder needs to provide is a 2002-2007 Impreza or WRX. The car donates its turbocharged boxer four-cylinder engine, transmission, axles, brakes, steering and other major components. Factory Five supplies the spaceframe, body, suspension, lights, windshield and some interior trim. It doesn't even need paint, thanks to its gel-coated fiberglass body panels. The company also offers a laundry list of options, including carbon fiber aero components, upgraded suspension parts, improved brakes and more. Kits can be ordered in either left- or right-hand drive.

Is Subaru close to ditching 6-cylinder engines?

Mon, Dec 22 2014

Despite niche outliers like the 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 and 7.0-liter V8 in the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, we live in an era where small-displacement, turbocharged engines are becoming the norm. In many model lineups, a boosted four-cylinder now holds the place that a six might have just a few short years ago. At least in some markets, Subaru could be the next automaker to follow this path by axing its 3.6-liter boxer six-cylinder. Granted, that's not as much of a leap for Subie as some other automakers because the Japanese brand is already closely associated with turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The company's six-pot boxer is currently only offered in the Legacy and Outback in the US. Australian website CarAdvice spoke with Subaru deputy general manager of engineering Yoichi Hori about the company's future powertrain plans at least for Down Under. "Our research said the six-cylinder model is decreasing in the world. So that's why probably the future, many companies take the smaller displacement with a turbocharger, or diesel, or hybrid," said Hori to CarAdvice. He was also specific about which engine he had in mind. "In terms of the body size, a 2.0-liter with a turbocharger is enough, I think," he said. Hori said that the automaker stuck with the boxer-six for so long because of the turbocharged four-cylinder's higher maintenance costs. Slotting Subaru's 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer four-cylinder into the Legacy and Outback seems easy to imagine. After all, the mill already does duty in different tunes in the Forester and WRX in the US. Keep in mind, though, that Hori's words are aimed at the Aussie market. A rumor from earlier this year speculated the company's midsize models might get a smaller displacement six and the turbo four for some trims.
