2006 Subaru Impreza WRX TR

You're looking at a clean southern WRX with a ton of recent maintenance and performance goodies. This car should be capable of a reliable 300+ WHP with a tune!

The story (why am I selling?)

I got this car this past winter with the intention of using it for track days and time trials. If you know anything about Subarus, you know they rust like crazy, so when I saw how clean this southern car was underneath, I just had to have it. The fact that it was a TR (no sunroof, less weight) was a bonus for me as well. It needed a little work when I got it, so I took the time to go over the entire thing and replace/fix anything that even remotely needed it in order to ensure reliability at the track. It was a nice winter project, but in the summer my priorities shifted back towards rally, and I decided to focus on my rally car instead. The car received a very conservative, low boost, non-meth tune so that I could use it as a daily driver. However, since I live 2 miles from work and have another daily driver, the car pretty much just sat in my parents garage most of the year, I've only put about 1500 miles on it. I'm selling this car to free up some space and money for my rally projects, my loss, your gain! Hopefully this gorgeous car goes to someone who can truly appreciate it.

Engine
* Low mileage VF30 turbo with custom waste gate bracket for an EWG setup (not welded shut!)
* Turbo blanket

Condition


Exterior
This car is originally from the south, and has only seen one winter worth of snow/salt, so the body is in great condition rust wise. That said, this is an 8 year old car with 100+k miles on it, so there are the normal dings, scratches, and paint chips (see pictures). The car has been in a minor fender bender at some point (see Carfax report), a fender and headlight have been replaced and the whole car resprayed. I had the fenders off to confirm that there is absolutely no evidence of frame damage and the paint job was as good or better than factory Subaru. The car has been hand washed and hand waxed during the time that I've owned it.

Interior
Interior is about average for the cars age and mileage. The seats and door cards have shampooed and steam vac'd by me this summer. The only blemishes are some wear on a steering wheel, a small burn mark in the rear seat (see pictures). There used to be a 3-pillar gauge-pod installed on the car (comes with it), so there are a couple small holes in the trim on the drivers side and the passenger side trim is painted black to match. It seems the car has been smoked in at some point, though the previous owner was not a smoker and neither am I. A/C needs a recharge according to the PO, I haven't driven the car in hot weather, so I haven't touched it.

Engine
The car has a very conservative daily driver tune on it right now and runs great. Always starts up on the first try, there is no smoke, leaks, or weird noises. Even though it's rare, for full disclosure, like most modified cars, there is an occasional check engine light. In this case it's an occasional random misfire, most likely due to the light weight flywheel - well known issue with Subarus. Car drives fine, and you can't feel it, but the light does come on. There is also a small pinhole leak in the down pipe, it's pretty irrelevant since the EWG dump tube dumps about 4 inches away anyway. Tune wise, it's a very safe DD tune, so it is at around stock WRX power levels, and will need a different map (up to you) to boost over stock levels and make use of meth injection.

Suspension
Great condition. I think the car used to have aftermarket suspension on it, because this one feels like it's brand new. Rides awesome, handles awesome.

Brakes
Brand new, feel fantastic. ABS light is on due to sensor (according to PO). I don't like Subaru ABS at all (I think it's way too sensitive), so I haven't bothered fixing it.

BONUS PARTS!


A $1000 worth of goodies that will come with the car -
* TBO TD05-20G turbocharger. Freshly rebuilt
* Air pump parts. In case you want to put it back for some reason
* Alpine Subwoofer/enclosure - can be hooked up in the trunk!
* JVC touchscreen double DIN head unit.
* Kenwood amp - can be hooked up in the trunk!

2015 Subaru Legacy to start at $21,695*

Fri, 16 May 2014

Subaru unveiled the 2015 Legacy at this year's Chicago Auto Show, and while the company was happy to tell us all about its new platform and features, it kept pricing a secret until now. The new all-wheel drive sedan arrives at dealers this summer with a starting price of $22,490, which includes its $795 destination charge, a $400 increase over last year's model with the CVT.
The Legacy takes advantage of a slightly larger, new platform, which Subaru claims is quieter. The 2.5-liter boxer-four-cylinder and 3.6-liter flat-six engines are carried over from the previous generation, but they see slight boosts in fuel economy. All models also now come standard with a CVT, and, of course, Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
The range starts with the basic 2.5i trim at $22,490 that comes standard with more airbags than before and a 6.2-inch infotainment system with Bluetooth and iPod integration. The $24,290 2.5i Premium trim really improves things with standard dual-zone climate control, power driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 7-inch infotainment system and more. For $27,290, the 2.5i Limited adds a leather interior, 18-inch wheels, a Harmon/Kardon stereo, heated rear seats, fog lights, wood grain trim and more. A top-spec Legacy 3.6R Limited goes for $30,390 and comes with standard HID low beams.

2018 Subaru Forester joins the black-out bandwagon with Black Edition

Thu, May 18 2017

People apparently love black-painted trim. Nissan, Chevrolet, and Honda have all recently offered special-edition packages to ditch chrome and color-coded parts for the dark hue, and Subaru is the latest to join the party. Its offering comes in the form of the 2018 Forester Black Edition. The package is only available on the 170-horsepower, naturally aspirated, Forester 2.5i Premium. It also costs an extra $1,150. For that money, you get the following in the eponymous color: 18-inch wheels, fog light trim, badges, mirror caps, and the grille. Inside, the interior is also black. The steering wheel and shifter are leather-wrapped, and the upholstery is cloth with faux leather bolsters. The package isn't all aesthetics, though. It also comes with steering LED headlights and paddle shifters for the CVT, allowing the driver to pick from six preset ratios. The latter feature was previously exclusive to the turbocharged Forester 2.0XT. The package also comes on the heels of the 2018 model introduction. There aren't many notable updates to this year's Forester, however. All trim levels except Touring increase in price by $200. All Touring models jump by $1,795. The Touring's large price jump comes with now-standard reverse automatic emergency braking and high-beam assist. The 2.0XT Touring also now has torque vectoring similar to that in the WRX line.

Subaru skips the Super Bowl, brings back the driving dogs

Sun, Jan 31 2016

Subaru's research shows that 80 percent of owners have a pet. So the company plans to skip expensive advertising during the Super Bowl again this year in favor of being the official auto sponsor of the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. The canine-friendly company also has five new ads starring the Barkleys, a family of Labradors and Golden Retrievers. The commercial above titled Phone Navigation is our favorite of the group because it puts a funny spin on bad smartphone voice recognition. You can check out the other four adorable ads below. Doggie Bag has the pups dealing with an inept valet; Windshield Wiper forces them to cope with a bulldog in a car ahead; Bad Hair Day tactfully handles a rough trip to the doggy salon; and Puppy tries to help a little one get to sleep. With new spots like this practically every year, Subaru clearly has a paw on the pulse of what its customers like. This content is hosted by a third party.

The national television spots, created by Carmichael Lynch on behalf of Subaru of America, will air in the coming weeks, and all five ads will be featured on February 7 during PUPPY BOWL XII on Animal Planet, where Subaru of America will mark its sixth year as the event's Official Auto Sponsor.
