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!

Russian videographer nails this real-life 'Need for Speed' recreation

Tue, Jun 25 2019

Aaron Paul and Kid Cudi tried. They really did. They put forth a decent acting effort, played with some incredible replica supercars, and filmed at some remarkable settings. But it's 2019, and 2014's "Need for Speed" sits at a 6.5/10 on IMDB, a 39 on Metacritic, and a 57% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The studio attempt to bring "Need for Speed" to life was lukewarm, so a Russian videographer took a shot at the idea with this impressive digital short. Unearthed by Reddit user, AbuDab1, the clip is the work of Russia-based videographer @Chekunov_v. Clearly a fan of all things fast and fancy, as seen by his Instagram, Chekunov recreated the start screen, the garage with car and mod selection, and the race sequences from the video game. The video starts with an Acura RSX Type-S (labeled as the Integra Type R) with familiar theme music playing in the background. Accompanied by video game sound effects, the spotlight switches between a Toyota Celica, a Toyota Supra and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. The Supra and Evo are locked, so the user settles on the Celica. He goes on to select mods, including a new spoiler, new wheels and a new color, again to the tune of the proper sound effects, menus and camera views. The car exits the garage and rolls onto the road, where the screen now shows a tachometer and an N2O gauge. The Celica is met with a race challenge, and the car lines up with a Mazda RX-8, an Acura RSX Type-S and a Subaru WRX STI. After a terrible launch, the Celica uses some NOS and takes the victory. Unfortunately, the video is a bit 2 fast, 2 short for our taste. It's well done, has some unique video work, and takes us back into one of our favorite video game series. Maybe this guy can direct the studio sequel.

Subaru allegedly developing mid-engine hybrid sports coupe

Thu, Mar 10 2016

A mid-engine, hybrid sports coupe could give Subaru a high-performance halo model in the coming years. According to Car and Driver, "a source close to Subaru" let slip the company has been testing the prototype powertrain underneath a BRZ at its proving grounds in Japan. "Whether the end result will be a two-door sports coupe or some kind of sports crossover/CUV is still in the evaluation stage," the anonymous source told Car and Driver. "A coupe seems more likely, though." The vehicle's layout allegedly uses a mid-mounted 1.6-liter turbocharged boxer engine with hybrid assist to spin the rear wheels, and two electric motors at the front would power that end. The resulting all-wheel drive powertrain would have about 330 horsepower or more, Car and Driver claims. If a production version happens, it would use the upcoming Subaru Global Platform. Rumors about Subaru's increased development of hybrids offer some support for this alleged sports coupe. The company reportedly might use electrification to boost the next-gen STI. In 2014, a story also suggested the automaker could revive the SVX as a performance-oriented hybrid shooting brake. More recently, even its Viziv GT Vision Gran Turismo concept combined a turbocharged boxer with three electric motors. While a Subaru sports coupe piques our interest, we are taking the prospect with a grain of salt for now. The Japanese brand has a tendency of teasing performance models but not actually delivering on them – like the STI Performance Concept (above) or the aggressive styling of the last WRX Concept. There could also be a long wait before we see what the company is developing. According to Car and Driver, a concept is at least two years away. Then it would take even more time for execs to okay production. Related Video:

Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year

Tue, Nov 17 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."
