Hi!

            My 08 Impreza is my baby. I took care of her for 4 years after buying it slightly used and in mint condition, 2010. The car had 26,000 miles on it (roughly) and about 38 on it now, although I do have it off the road in storage since I moved to the city five months back. Point is -- I drove it every week, usually every day, and never put any miles on it. The engine has been kept in the perfect condition. I had one accident after driving it all the way up to college the very first time, that a little dings and pings that were worth getting fixed. I blew a valve but it was under warranty so the car has a practically new engine, which was broken in slowly and properly for 5,000 miles (serious perk).  It drives awesome!

            Any ‘08 model year WRX is a blast to drive. Quick enough to 40 that you don’t have to shift and fast enough to 60 that second will get you there no problem. I have widened the wheels for a grippy ride and insane winter performance (the best I have ever seen, including friends who have 4-Runners and trucks. Aside from my own notes any other info on the actual ‘08 WRX can be found online.  It is a prime example of a perfectly preserved model (off warranty for any mod heads looking to get 500hp from 8,000 aftermarket, I have a guy for tuning and DYNO if you’re in my area and need it done by a real professional) from that year. The warranty expired based on time not mileage and the car is gorgeous to look at. I will post some pictures I took a few years back.

            Premium package includes power windows, heated seats, country wide GPS, upgraded sound system and woofer, and lots more (see the website or Wikipedia for exact information).

After-market parts include: Decals, Enkei GW8 wheels, 225mm Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires (widened from the stock 205mm for more grip and at .8 tred depth – with a warranty from Tire Rack for 50,000 miles), Weather Tech Rain-Guards, Rally Armor UR Mud Flaps, CURT Manufacturing Trailer Hitch with a 1 7/8” Chrome ball hitch and a brand new CURT trailer hitch (I have towed a large U-Haul, in the middle of a Northern New York blizzard, no problem. The car has a 2000lbs towing capacity, which is perfect for your dirt bike and ATV when traveling for camp or traditional family vacation), Dark Window tints all around and a Visor Strip on the windshield, License Plate cover, Multi-Hundred-Dollar insulated weatherproof car cover for outdoor storage, and decals if you want to change the GW8’s to white from red.

I removed the “Subaru” and the “Impreza” decals from the back so it just reads “WRX”.  That with the decals and the plate cover, the window tints and the widened profile you get from rain guards and mud flaps gives the car the meanest look I have ever seen. I have spent years designing; researching and looking for a more esthetically pleasing REX – and you have my word that there is no such car. Especially once you put a Borla exhaust on the back for that perfect amount of noise.

For more info, or to just talk about the car (one fan to another), please give me a call and I can answer all your questions -- 914-960-2595 or brscag10@gmail.com

Toyota and Subaru file patents for performance FR-S and BRZ

Wed, Nov 11 2015

People have longed for a more powerful version of the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota GT86 since the triplets arrived on the market. So far, neither partner in the deal has launched a model to fully satiate that hunger. However, the Japanese patent office recently approved documents from Toyota for the design of a vehicle that looks just like the Subaru STI Performance Concept (pictured above). According to AutoGuide, the filing also gives Fuji Heavy Industries credit for the design. The STI Performance Concept debuted at this year's New York Auto Show as an early step in STI's attempt to expand its reach here. The BRZ-derived coupe featured a body with a ground-scraping front bumper, tweaked headlights, wider fenders, a massive rear wing, and diffuser with a center-exit exhaust. All of these elements also show up on the patent renderings. The concept was just as exciting under the hood because STI installed a 2.0-liter, turbocharged boxer four-cylinder from its GT300 racer, and upgrades for the chassis, suspension, and brakes came from the Japanese market's BRZ tS. While the coupe made hearts race, the company was clear it didn't necessarily plan to build the model. Patent filings aren't a guarantee for production, and even if this one does arrive in showrooms, it might not come to the US. That's because Subaru and Toyota have a history of creating Japan-exclusive versions like the tS or Style Cb. That being said, spy shots have revealed a camouflaged GT86 testing in Europe, and rumors indicate more power from the engine. Subie's boss has even confirmed the existence of a partnership to create a next-gen model. Related Video:

2015 Subaru WRX STI headed for Detroit, more WRX details leaked

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

The debuts of the 2015 Subaru WRX and the Legacy Concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week are kind of hogging the Subaru spotlight, making it easy to forget that there is a more potent, more aggressive version of the small sedan waiting in the wings. And based on a rumor from Australia, we'll see the sportier WRX STI at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
The report comes from Motoring in Australia, which claims that a more potent version of the WRX will make its debut in the Motor City, and that it will do so with an even 300 horsepower (five fewer than the current STI) and 290 pound-feet of torque (identical to the current car). Aside from the more potent 2.5-liter turbocharged flat four, the STI should boast the regular spread of aesthetic upgrades and suspension, brake, chassis and transmission tweaks.
The standard all-wheel-drive WRX will sprint to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds.

Vehicles awarded IIHS Top Safety Pick awards skyrockets for 2015 [w/video]

Wed, Dec 24 2014

By practically every measure, passenger vehicles in the US are continuing to get safer. With the year rapidly coming to an end, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is releasing its annual list tallying of the scores for the latest vehicles to see how they compare to last year. Judging by the agency's evaluations, the numbers look quite positive. According to the institute, 71 vehicles earned either the Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ rating so far in its testing for 2015. Among the latest winners, there have been 33 TSP+ awards and 38 TSP medalists. That's a healthy increase over the 22 TSP+ and 17 TSP grades in 2014. The figures appear even more impressive when you consider that it keeps getting harder to earn the + designation. In the latest round of testing, a vehicle must offer some form of front crash prevention automatic braking to get the mark. Previously, just a warning to drivers was necessary. This list also illustrates the ways that automakers adapt to new testing procedures. In 2013 there were 117 TSP ratings and 13 TSP+ awards. Then, the IIHS mandated that to be a safety pick, a model had to score Good in the institute's four crash tests, plus a Good or Acceptable in the small overlap front test. That brought a plunge in 2014 to just 17 TSP grades. With the numbers climbing again, companies apparently have deciphered how to perform better. Some brands especially stood out on this year's list. The IIHS praised Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Acura for offering standard front crash prevention systems on some models. Subaru received at least one of the awards for all seven of its models. Toyota also had seven, and the Honda brand did too – though the institute counts the two- and four-door versions of the Civic and Accord separately. Check out the full announcement below and a video about this year's winners. The full list can be viewed, here. Safety gains ground: More vehicles earn top honors from IIHS The number of vehicles earning either of the Institute's two awards has jumped to 71 from 39 this time last year, giving consumers more choices for optimum protection in crashes. The number of winners in the top tier - TOP SAFETY PICK+ - has increased by 11 for 2015, despite a tougher standard for front crash prevention. "This is the third year in a row that we are giving automakers a tougher challenge to meet," says IIHS President Adrian Lund.
