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)
* SPT intake

* AEM wideband sensor and gauge

* STI Hood

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!

2018 Subaru Impreza price increase just $100

Thu, Jul 20 2017

Subaru announced pricing on the 2018 Impreza sedan and five-door. The model was all-new for 2017, riding on a new platform with new sheetmetal and interior. Since there weren't any changes for 2018, prices only jumped by $100 over the 2017 model. As with nearly all Subarus, the 2018 Impreza comes with standard all-wheel drive and a flat-four engine. 2018 models will hit dealerships sometime this fall. The Impreza-based 2018 Subaru Crosstrek starts at just a few thousand more. The Impreza will be offered in 2.0i base, Premium, Sport, and Limited trim levels. All models come with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-four making 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent through either a five-speed manual or a CVT. In an attempt to alleviate some complaints about CVTs, Subaru says pre-selected gear ratios will mimic a seven-speed automatic. The 2.0i base starts at $19,355 for the sedan and $19,855 for the hatchback. Standard equipment includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, power windows, power locks, power door mirrors, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel, and carpeted floor mats. The CVT option is $1,000. The 2018 Impreza Premium starts at $22,155 for the sedan and $22,255 for the five-door and only comes equipped with a CVT. It builds on the 2.0i base model, adding automatic headlights, 16-inch alloy wheels, and the all-weather package with heated front seats, windshield, and exterior mirrors. Impreza Premium five-door models come with permanent roof rails. A moonroof and some driver assistance features like blind-spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert are available on the Premium. The Impreza Sport starts at $22,955 with a manual and $23,755 with a CVT, with the five-door starting at $23,455 and $24,255 respectively. Like the Premium, the Sport builds on the model below it. As the name implies, the Sport is intended to have a fun-to-drive demeanor. It gets stiffer suspension, active torque vectoring, 18-inch wheels, and an STI shifter on the five-speed model. It gets LED daytime running lights, a black grille, body-color rocker panels, and turn signal side mirrors. The sedan gets a rear spoiler while the five-door gets unique black trim. Inside, the Impreza Sport comes with black upholstery with red stitching. That same red color accents the steering wheel, shifter, instrument panel, and door trim. The trim also gets different gauges than the other models.

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.

Next-gen Subaru WRX STI spotted at the N"urburgring

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Subaru has been busy testing the next-generation WRX STI. Well, it may be the STI. The big wing out back lends some credence to that theory, but it could be that the basic WRX is getting new action in the back section. Time will tell.
In either case, spy photographers nabbed a few shots of the heavily camouflaged sedan running around the Nürburgring. Unfortunately, it looks as if Subaru has taken some of the sexy out of the WRX Concept we saw at the New York Auto Show, leaving this car looking more derivative of the current model than a revolution in design. The bold power bulge has disappeared from the vehicle's hood and the lower fascia looks far more demure than the the wild concept. Likewise, the muscular rear fenders have been toned down substantially.
The result is a car that looks more like a mildly warmed over version of the current model than a production version of the WRX Concept. Still, engineers and designers may have a long way to go before the finished product hits the market, so we'll reserve final judgement for now. After all, the early BRZ mules were nothing short of a travesty to look at, and we know how that turned out. Hope springs eternal.
