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.

WRX Concept styling may transfer to production Impreza, next WRX

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

Remember the original concept that previewed the latest generation Subaru WRX? If not, then just look above for a gallery of photos following its debut at the 2013 New York Auto Show. We loved it, and thus, were sort of disappointed when we first saw the less-aggressive production model.
It's not that the production 2015 WRX is ugly, per se. It just doesn't have the gaping grille, four-door coupe lines or squinting headlights that give the concept so much verve. But as it turns out, Subaru might have realized that it was on the right track with the more assertive styling. Rumors coming out of Australia suggest that the shape could form the basis for the next-generation Impreza, and next WRX, along with a major platform shift.
Subaru chief designer Mamoru Ishii tells Motoring that that the next-generation car will ditch the rather utilitarian current design in favor of something more exciting. Like the WRX concept, the design will start wide at the bottom for an aggressive stance and taper up to the roof. That styling would likely get even more aggressive for the next 'Rex.

Cosworth teases upgrades for Subaru BRZ

Mon, 19 May 2014

Subaru may or may not produce an STI version of the BRZ. Things seem to go back and forth on the subject. But Subaru Tecnica International isn't the only company with a history of tuning Subies. So does Cosworth, and now the British racing firm appears to be turning its attention to the BRZ and its Toyota- and Scion-badged siblings.
For those unacquainted, Cosworth is more than your average tuning company. It's a racing firm first and foremost, having made F1 engines under its own name as well as Ford's (chief among them the all-conquering DFV 3.0-liter V8 of 1960s and 70s fame), not to mention engines for Indy, rally and even high-performance, road-going versions of the Ford Sierra, Chevy Vega and Mercedes 190E. The list goes on and on, but you get the point.
Now withdrawing from Formula One, Cosworth is focusing its attention on tuning road cars again with the launch of the Cosworth Power Package line, the first of which will focus on the Toyota GT86 (aka Scion FR-S) and Subaru BRZ. We don't know just yet what will be included in the packaged dubbed FA-20, but from the video teaser below, it seems there'll be upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, aero and - if we're lucky - maybe a super- or turbocharger for the 2.0-liter flat-four engine. We'll have to wait and see, but we get the feeling that with Cosworth on the job, it'll be worth the wait. Check out the minute-long video below in the meantime.

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.
