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.

Modifications and Recent Maintenance (most things on this list have less than 1000 miles)

Engine
* Low mileage VF30 turbo with custom waste gate bracket for an EWG setup (not welded shut!)
* Turbo blanket
* GrimmSpeed EWG up-pipe, thermal wrapped
* Tial 38mm EWG with 10psi spring (had two springs in when I got it, the other 10psi spring included)
* GrimmSpeed EWG v-band dump tube

* Custom 3" turbo cat-less turbo back (note: car does not have any catalytic converters at all)

* AEM wideband sensor and gauge

* STI Hood
* STI Trunk with STI wing

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!

The 2017 Subaru BRZ Series.Yellow is, wait for it, yellow

Mon, Jun 13 2016

Scion is fading fast, but it seems Subaru learned a thing or two from the Toyota offshoot during their short time together. This new BRZ, with its oddly punctuated and not very subtle name, continues a line of special-edition Subarus that pair special paint and interior trim with black accents. It's called the Series.Yellow, and Subaru will build 500 of them for 2017. The Series.Yellow starts with the mildly updated 2017 BRZ and stacks the new Performance Package ( Brembo brakes, Sachs dampers, black 17-inch wheels) on top of the Limited trim. The Series.Yellow will come with the six-speed manual only, as it's required to get the Performance Pack. That also means it has the new 205-hp boxer four and a different final-drive ratio to go along with it. Aside from the yellow paint, exterior differences include black Subaru and BRZ badging, and a black surface for the rear spoiler. The interior gets it some yellow as well, with stitching on the seats, door panels, dash, steering wheel, floor mats, and shifter and e-brake boots. The interior grab handles are yellow-ized, and there are yellow patches at the top of the seat bolsters. Oh, and the seats have Alcantara inserts, but those aren't yellow. As the second in the Series series, it follows in the footsteps of the BRZ Series.HyperBlue from 2016. There's also precedent for special yellow Subarus, as 1,000 XV Crosstrek Special Editions from 2015 got yellow paint and black cladding. Yellow!

Subaru uses a mime and a toy car to explain why it loves the boxer engine

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

I will freely admit to struggling with why Subaru continues to stubbornly employ a boxer engine design while so few other automakers do the same. After all, with twice the number of cylinder heads and cams as a traditional inline four-cylinder engine, a boxer four is more complex, more expensive to manufacture and more cumbersome to service with few tangible benefits. Until recently, the company's engines struggled to meet the fuel economy numbers of its competitors while offering no real boon in horsepower or torque. Subaru seems to recognize I'm not the only one scratching my head.
In order to help us non-believers understand what's what, the company has employed a pair of mimes, a toy car and a few clay engines to demonstrate the folly of every other automaker on the planet. Subaru says the boxer offers up a lower center of gravity than either an inline four-cylinder engine or a V6, which I will gladly concede. The company also says the design offers up smoother operation.
I'll offer just two counterpoints here. First, an engine with a low center of gravity is excellent, but when vehicles like the Forester, XV Crosstrek and Outback boast more ground clearance than most mainstream SUVs, that argument flies out the window. Second, anyone who's spent any amount of time behind the wheel of a vehicle equipped with an inline four and then proceeded to move into one propelled by a boxer can tell you the latter has all of the idling manners of a small tractor. Check out the video below to see for yourself.

Autoblog sell-it-yourself highlight: 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca

Mon, Apr 17 2017

Introduced for 2006 and built in Lafayette, Indiana, atop a Legacy platform, the B9 Tribeca was Subaru's first attempt at a three-row crossover. Like the smaller Mazda5, the B9 provided seating for your kids but cramped quarters for adults. Add to that the controversial styling and upmarket pricing (before Subaru was regarded as upmarket), and you had a tepid response from the buying public. While the styling – specifically the B9's nose Â– was controversial, I liked its Euro-inspired profile on the outside and really enjoyed the design execution on the inside. The third row was optional, and for the occasional extra kid or small adult, useful. It's the utility of the footprint, however, I really like, and with a 3.0 liter Subaru six, it's perfect for your urban or suburban adventures. Autoblog's 'For Sale' example, located in Woodland Hills, Calif., has average miles for an 11-year-old vehicle and looks to be in good cosmetic condition. Despite Subaru's reputation for rugged reliability, a vehicle of this age will inevitably need some attention. A pre-purchase inspection should be mandatory, and you would hope for a clean CarFax. At $6,500, the asking price is at the low end of typical for a clean example with this mileage and may reflect its Sunbelt location, since Subaru resale is historically higher in the Northeast and Northwest.
