The time has finally come for me to sell my 2004 Impreza WRX STi. I've absolutely loved owning this car, but it is time to get something a bit more economical and practical, since our family is growing. In a nutshell, the only reason I'm selling is to get out from under the car payment, and the fact that it requires 93 octane and I do A LOT of driving. I'm in the process of purchasing a bigger commuter car which gets better mileage and doesn't require premium. Otherwise, I'd love to keep this car. Anyway, here is the run down...

The Bad:
- Driver side ball joint recently started making noise. I have the new Moog joint which I will include with the purchase.
- The usual small dings/rock chips from daily driving, with one rock chip that cracked a portion of paint on the front bumper. (just the paint, not the bumper itself)

The Good:
- I replaced the brakes with cross drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads within the last year. I also have a set of Hawk HPS pads and stainless brake lines I'll include with the purchase for your next brake job (although that won't be required for some time)
- The Continental DWS tires are new with less than 4k miles on them.
- Aligned at the time the new tires were mounted and balanced.
- New belts and battery installed in the fall of last year.
- Freshly charged A/C less than one year ago, done by Matthews.
- Headlights have been replaced with new 2005 lights which are in excellent condition, and I have a spare light assembly which I'll include.
- I have a pitch stop mount for the engine, which although is not installed will be included.
- Car was professionally tuned by Innovative Tuning in Buffalo, and made 308awhp/318awtq on their mustang dyno (I have the dyno sheet). In reality, that translates to around 330awhp and 340awtq.


The car really is a solid car with very few mechanical needs. Essentially, the only thing I can think of is the driver side ball joint. I drove it down to the Outer Banks for a wedding last year and averaged 29mpg on the highway. Needless to say, it is excellent in the snow with the new DWS tires. I was just underneath it checking things over a few hours ago, and there are no leaks anywhere. In addition, the car really doesn't consume anything (oil wise) in between changes. It should be mentioned that this 04 STi has an engine and turbocharger from a 2007 STi. Although the mileage can't truly be verified, that engine/turbo allegedly had 35k on it when I purchased the vehicle. The swap was verified by Innovative up in Buffalo NY, and you're more than welcome to confirm that as well.

As can be seen in the pics, overall the car is in very good condition. As far as modifications go, it has a Perrin front mount intercooler, ACT clutch, Greddy turboback exhaust, cone air filter (not sure of brand), and a great tune from Innovative. To be clear, the idle is at 1500 RPMs in the picture of the gauge cluster because I'd just started the car. It will settle down to less than 1000 RPMs when warm. Also, all of the power windows work just fine. I simply had the driver/passenger window down during the pictures to let some heat out. The miles are low for the year, with just a little over 90k on the clock. Please, no low ballers, joy riders, or tire kickers. Don't waste my time and yours. ***SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY***!! Do NOT bid unless you intend to buy. If you are new to eBay and/or have 0 feedback, PLEASE contact me before bidding. Lastly, the buyer will be responsible for either picking up the car or arranging for shipment. I will work with you to get the car where it needs to go (local shipping point), if you are planning on having it shipped. If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

Subaru Viziv GT gears up for Vision Gran Turismo action [w/video]

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Ever wonder what it would look like if Subaru made a big brother to the BRZ, maybe to take on the Nissan GT-R or Japan's Super GT series? (Well, the BRZ already competes in the GT300 class, but we're talking about the GT500 major leagues here.) Wonder no more, car fans, because it'd probably look something like this. Only it's not a road car, and it's not a racecar. It's the latest addition to the growing roster of Vision Gran Turismo concepts for GT6.
Borrowing on the design theme put forth by the Viziv concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and the Viziv 2 concept showcased the following year, the Viziv GT Vision Gran Turismo is envisioned as a racing machine. Its hypothetical hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter boxer four, turbocharged and direct-injected, to a trio of high-output electric motors to deliver a claimed 591 horsepower and 593 pound-feet of torque.
Carbon fiber construction helps offset the weight of the motors and batteries to keep the hybrid racing shooting brake down to a theoretical 3,000 pounds, with competition-spec aero to keep it glued to the track. Gamers will be able to download it directly in the game as part of the latest update, but you can scope it out right here in the image gallery above and the video and press release below.

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
