For Sale: 2011 Subaru STI GRB Sedan with over 100K invested
VIN: Private message 
Miles: 14,190 on the body, a little more than 7,000 on the build 
Price: First $42,000 takes everything. That's right, you could make money parting it out if you have the time, but I got a baby on the way, and I need to sell her. I've been offered 32 31 and 27 by dealerships locally.

I have owned this car since 50 miles, I know everything about it, and I was there during every transformation, upgrade, mod, show, etc. I am the driver and the person responsible for the complete build coordination therefore I can explain the fabrication, installation, suspension alignment, motor build process, balancing, parts purchases, whatever you want to know about it, I can tell you. Please ask specific questions with regard to something you want to know, if you ask me to itemize every little thing, I will kindly refer you to Rallysport Direct or Full-Race's website orVividRacing.com to look at prices, The cost of this car was 37,500 when I bought it from the SOLON AUTO Dealership in Pueblo Colorado in August 2011. The cost of parts has been well over $50,000 alone and I'm not including the cost for dyno time, tuning, any installation, fabrication, etc, therefore I have estimated that over $100,000 has been invested. 

includes both sets of wheels 
19" Advan RZ's Gunmetal with Nitto Invo's AND 

Brand new 19" VOLK TE37 Tokyo Time Attack Diamond Cut with Brand new Advan Neova tires

three sets of suspension, currently installed is Air Lift Performance Air ride, but will include OEM Struts and coils, as well as the suspension used in most of the photographs which is Tein Flex Coilovers

My heart and soul went into making this car what it is. I have spent so much time and money making my car what it is that it is hard to imagine life without her. Unfortunately, my family needs me more than my car and I'm hoping that another Enthusiast can enjoy what I've been blessed with putting together. This is a turn key, completed project, take it to the track, next big show, or drive it to work like I did, all in the same day. My STI has won 2nd place at SPOCOM 2012 and 3rd place at SPOCOM 2013 Hawaii. Various magazines have also requested to feature it, I can discuss that with potential buyers. Also if you have a question about a part, please feel free to ask, I will answer you, and I can take a picture if you need to see something specific, it's not a problem and I'm glad to help anybody considering this purchase with evidence of the high quality and pride I have taken building this outstanding machine. There is so much I may have missed something when I wrote up the description, but I do keep receipts and all of the parts have been purchased from Reputable dealers like Full Race and RallysportDirect so you can verify the cost on your own. Some of the items, like the HKS Exhaust which I bought from RSD for almost $2,000 I have never seen again. So I will make sure that the receipts are retained for the next buyer so they can have the same confidence in the quality of everything that I have. Jarrad from PDX did all of my tuning, the car has spent about 3 and a half hours combined on 3 separate occasions to get the tuning where it is right now. Before switching to E85 when I got back to california, I was running premium pump gas and with about 23lbs of boost at peak, over boost was set for 24 on the eboost2 and I was hitting a solid 478 awhp, and 410 awtq, this was prior to the most recent charge piping my friend and I designed and tigged up. I really just need to sell her now for medical reasons and I'm at that point where I may have to accept the high offer from a local dealership because I'm in a tough spot. I never thought I would let her go for less than 60k, but here I am ready to take about half of that, there is no catch, nothing is broken and even if it was, I could build an engine for a lot less than this is costing me in the long run, feel free to do a compression check or whatever but I need a serious offer in the next day or so or the stealership is gonna rape me. Also, I've got most of the receipts for the parts, and if I don't RallySportDirect, Jarrad, and Geoff at Full Race can vouch for my legitimacy. If I was looking at this I would think it's to good to be true and something must be wrong, but it's completely the opposite.

2015 Subaru WRX looks to set a new benchmark in LA

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Subaru has just taken the wraps off of the new, 2015 WRX at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The totally redesigned sedan - the five-door option won't be offered - is more powerful, more fuel efficient (with the right transmission), better looking and more intelligently designed than the car it's replacing.
A new 2.0-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged flat-four sits thumping away under the hood, its top-mount intercooler getting force-fed air by a rather prominent hood scoop. Power output sits at 268 ponies and 258 pound-feet of torque, accessible between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm. While the new car only has a three-horsepower advantage on the current Impreza WRX, it delivers 14 more pound-feet of torque and delivers peak output across a much wider swath of the rev range (the old car netted 244 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm). All this extra grunt comes at a negligible weight penalty - a 2015 WRX with the six-speed manual is just 59 pounds heavier than a 2014 model.
As we said, a six-speed manual is will be available, and as a bonus, it packs one additional cog over the current, 2014 WRX's five-speed DIY transmission. So equipped, the WRX will scamper to 60 in just 5.4 seconds. As for the previously-confirmed continuously variable transmission, it will come with both six- and eight-speed manual shift modes, but will take half a second longer to get to the magical 60-mile-per-hour mark.

Buy a Toyota GT86 and your wife will hate you

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

Marketing can be a very strange business. Convincing a man or woman (or child, really) that they absolutely cannot live without the latest, greatest new bit of technology oftentimes takes a unique approach. In the "online film promoting the Toyota GT86" you'll see below, created by agency Happiness Brussels, men are reverse-psychologied into thinking a new sports coupe will make them more masculine by getting their loved ones to hate them. Or something like that. We think.
In any case, we suggest you watch the video below to see how much fun men can have with a GT86 - or Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, presumably - at the expense of their significant others. Fair warning: There's a potential Not Safe For Work moment in the ad: beware of a brief male butt shot about 44 seconds in.
Marketing. Gotta love it. Unless you're married to a man. Or something like that. We think. Whatever, just watch.

2014 Subaru Forester XT

Tue, 14 May 2013

Power Doesn't Come Cheap
When Subaru first offered a turbocharged Forester XT model to US customers for the 2004 model year, the shoe-shaped second-gen model fell into a ready-made competitive set of small, V6-powered crossovers and SUVs. The XT might have been more of a raucous shopping-trip companion than, say, a Ford Escape V6, but the basics of the cars offered a clear differentiation from the naturally aspirated, four-cylinder models found just a bit downmarket. Here in 2013, the V6 breed of crossover in this size class is all but extinct, and turbocharged four-cylinders with the power to compete with the XT are not thick on the ground.
In many ways, the comparative analysis gets most interesting when you start looking around for CUVs to match up with the all-boxes-ticked Forester XT Touring that we had as a tester for a recent week. The top of the line Touring trim means that the Forester comes with features like 10-way power seats, leather, navigation, a Harmon Kardon sound system with HD radio, Bluetooth and more. In fact, our Forester also had the only option package available on the XT Touring; one that included keyless access, HID headlights and Subaru's EyeSight system (adaptive cruise, lane departure warning and pre-collision braking).
