2008 Subaru Impreza Wrx Wagon 4-door 2.5l Hatchback on 2040-cars
Terre Haute, Indiana, United States
Up for sale is my 2008 WRX hatchback. 87,300 miles and counting. Stage 1 Torqued Performance tune since I
bought it when it had 30k miles on it. The car is primarily my daily driver and
has never been autocrossed, rallied, road raced, pulled, shifted hard, or even
redlined. Other than when I got the car
tuned on a Torqued Performance tune, it has been babied. I use to drive to work, visit my girlfriend,
and cart my bicycles around, and that’s about it. That being said, the car does have an
extensive list of modifications, all of which were done by me personally and a
very good friend and trusted mechanic, so everything has been done
correctly. Most of the mods, however,
are NOT power mods. The only and very
few engine-related mods were done while servicing something else that made whatever
part easy to replace, and the tune has been adjusted for the engine-related
mods. Most of the work went into
bettering the interior, chassis, suspension, and making the car nicer rather
than faster. Car has $7,800 worth of
aftermarket parts. THE BAD.
Hillstart-assist and traction control don’t work. The lights came on two years ago and the car
works perfectly other than those lights being on. ABS still works, but no traction control and
hillstart-assist. To fix this might be
as simple as plugging in a wire or something, but I just didn’t want to mess
with it as it doesn’t affect the function and performance of a car. Airbag light recently came on for a bad
driver’s airbag, which I had replaced with a new one. That code went away, but the airbag light is
still on. I did an STI center console swap and STI front seat swap. Wheels and tires came off a 0 mile 2012 WRX and
have 1.5 summers of easy, oldman driving on them. Torqued Performance tune/Cobb Accessport
comes with the car. Tune is solid and
has been adjusted for the composite TGV deletes so that there are no CELs. Acceleration is buttery smooth. Nothing like the Cobb OTS maps or the OEM
map. Rotella T6 full synthetic oil
changed every 3k miles on the dot by me personally. Only Subaru OEM oil filters used. Full sound deadening on both inside and
outside door skins on all four doors and the hatch lid and floor. HID low beams from The Retrofit Source, 4300K
pure white. None of the weird blue color
you see with other HIDs. LED interior
lights, license plate bulbs, and LED switchback turn signals. Full list of mods is included. The car will be sold as it sits. No parts will be taken off to decrease the
value. I am getting out of the Subaru
game entirely, so I don’t want to mess with parting it out. I am selling the car simply because it’s time
to move on. Nothing more, nothing less. Never smoked in and never had any animals in it. Pricing: $15,000.
Cash or cashier’s check. If using
cashier’s check, then the car and title will not be handed over until my bank
has cleared the funds. NO payment plans. NO
trades. NO lowballs. Reasonable offers will be considered. The car accelerates, runs, stops, and corners
perfectly and without defect. Test
drives for serious buyers only. NO test
drives without me present in the car. NO
hard accelerating, braking, shifting, etc, during a test drive. If you test drive the car, know that it is
still my car and will be driven lightly.
NO joyrides. NO joyrides. NO joyrides.
Buyer will be required to sign a bill of sale at the time of purchase. No minors without their parents/decision
makers present. Be confident and
knowledgeable of how to drive a 5-speed.
You will not be learning in my car.
And again, reasonable offers will be considered.

Here's the story with the Chicken Tax
Fri, Dec 12 2014Quiz America's auto enthusiasts about the vehicles they most want to see in the US market, and for every one that doesn't respond with a French hot hatchback or some diesel-powered offering, there'd be at least three that ask for some small, imported pickup truck. That won't happen, though, and we have the Chicken Tax to thank. This damnable bit of legislation affixes a 25-percent tariff to any light truck not built in the United States. That's why Honda, Toyota and Nissan build all their trucks in the United States, and it's also why pickups like the foreign-built Volkswagen Amarok, shown above, or the long-rumored Mahindra pickup aren't offered here. Wired has the story on the roots of the Chicken Tax, including how one Japanese manufacturer got around it and even delivered a vehicle to one of our country's presidents. Head over and check it out.
Hi-po Toyota GT86 to get KERS?
Fri, 09 Nov 2012We happen to like the Toyota GT86 - and, it of course goes without saying that the same applies to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well - just the way it is. Yes, that includes the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and its 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
That said, a little extra power never hurt anybody, right?
The most obvious way to add some punch to the GT86 would be with a turbocharger, and that has indeed long been rumored for an STI version of the BRZ. Will Toyota follow suit? According to Top Gear, the answer is no. Says GT86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, "I think 300bhp with a turbo and 200g/km of CO2 would be tasteless in this day and age. And a turbo would mean the loss of the GT86's uniqueness." Perhaps a bit harsh, but there you go.
West Coast labor dispute hampers Japanese automakers' US plants
Wed, Feb 18 2015The ongoing labor dispute between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and port owners along the West Coast is starting to affect more Japanese automakers building vehicles in the US. The issue already forced Honda and Subaru to take the expensive option of airlifting some parts into the US weeks ago, and according to USA Today, Toyota and Nissan have begun doing so, as well. The choice hasn't been cheap, though, and Subaru's chief financial officer estimated that the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. The effects continue to radiate, according to USA Today, and shortages of some models are possible. Honda is slowing production at its factories in Ohio, Indiana and Canada because the automaker doesn't have enough transmissions and electronics for some vehicles. Toyota already cut back on overtime at some factories. Nissan has only seen a small effect from the issue, though, because of its local suppliers. Dock workers and port owners have been negotiating on a new contract since last year, and the union has organized work slowdowns in response. According to USA Today, the automakers could move shipments to Canada or Mexico, but it would take longer for parts to arrive.
