2006 Subaru Impreza Wrx Sti Sedan 4-door 2.5l, Aspen White on 2040-cars
Syracuse, Utah, United States
This car was purchased from Nate Wade Subaru in Salt Lake City in 2006. I am the original owner. Vehicle was a semi daily driver for about 2 years. It was a typical stage 2 car, Cobb Accessport, TBE, suspension goodies etc. During that time, the car was driven in the snow less than 5 times. Oil was changed every 3k miles. Car did not see any form of racing or abusive driving.
2008, car underwent a fairly major facelift. Rallysportdirect helped plan the build of the car as well as source all after market parts. Solid Autoworks, a great shop in Salt Lake, with a sterling reputation completed installation of all parts. They have also overseen all maintenance during the life of the car, as well as a recent compression leak-down test. Local body shop, Kindig It Design, installed body pieces and completely prepped and repainted the exterior of the car. Fitment of after market body pieces are OEM quality. Factory paint code was used, but with a much thicker higher quality paint. No painting in engine bay or interior of car. This body shop is known for their award winning SEMA cars and hot rod cover cars. Christian from Cobb tuning layed down base tune to use during proper motor break in period. With use of CobbAccessport EM, a few different maps were made to use. John Shafer of Akuma Motorsports, who was with Cobb tuning at the time, was the last person to tune the car. With race gas and meth, the car made 520 awhp at 4300 feet above sea level, on a mustang dyno. The only thing holding the car back was the fuel system. At this point, I was pretty much done chasing power and dumping money into the car. I had the option to upgrade the fuel system, but the car already had plenty of power and would forever be beyond my driving capabilities. The car has remained unchanged over the last ~4 years. Since the big build, it has never seen snow. It has remained garaged and covered, sometimes for long periods of time. Care was taken to preserve integrity of fluids during periods of sitting in the garage. All regular maintenance has been kept up with and performed at professional shop, Solid Auto. Vehicle has been respected and kept up with, body and interior are in near flawless condition. Engine bay is very clean, as is the underbody. The car recently was in the shop for regular service and thoroughly inspected. Compression-leakdown test revealed 0% compression loss in 3 cylinders and 1% loss in one. I attended one open track session at Miller Motorsports Park, participating in a GT Live event. This was by no means wheel to wheel racing, rather hot laps for the uninitiated to driving a road course. Car performed perfectly. The driver, could have used a lot of work. Other than this occasion, car has NEVER been launched, dragged or abused. Many would say I never even drive the car like it is meant to be driven. No street racing or other freeway bull**** either. Car has been run on pump gas and no meth, for 99% of the time since it was done being built. I wish I could stomach paying for race gas all the time. I am selling this car because I lost the desire and interest in modified cars a few years ago. The car has sentimental value and I debated on parting with it for awhile. I have a small family now and I could also put some of the money from the sale of it towards future education. Finding it a good home, with somebody who would really enjoy it would be great. Hopefully someone will appreciate the quality of the parts used and the care taken to maintain it. If you are familiar with modified imports and after market parts and modifications, you will know that this is a very well put together build. No corners were cut and nothing was overlooked. The mindset was to buy nice, not twice. I am listing it at a price that is honestly considered to be very low, even when you consider that modifications do not add that much to resale value. The fact of the matter is that this is a $100,000 STi. Cost of the motor alone was $14k. That's not something I like to flaunt or even share with my closest friends. But after the cost of all the parts, professional installation, multiple tuning sessions on the dyno and the cost of the bodywork and paint job, that is an honest assessment. $30,000 is a straight up steal, especially when you can have a magazine cover car, for less than the price of a new WRX. This car is ready to be very competitive in road racing events, if you don't mind getting such a pretty car dirty. It also turns a lot of heads rolling into any car meet. Someone could do very well with it at car shows. And if nothing else, it is a blast to just take out for a drive. The car drives like it's on rails and pulls like a freight train. You can embarrass plenty of domestic V8 owners and lots of exotic import owners, should you feel so inclined. A little food for thought, the car will easily surpass 700 hp at sea levels.

Factory Five's Subaru WRX-based 818 kit now on sale [w/video]
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Subaru WRX has always needed a dash more style, and the do-it-yourself carmakers at Factory Five are looking to accomplish a lot more than that with their new mid-engine, rear-wheel drive 818. The sports car started with a contest in 2011 to create the shape for the company's next vehicle, while sticking within certain limits. A designer named Nouphone Bansasi had his entry chosen, and first cars were completed last year.
The 818 is named after its target weight of 818 kilograms (1,803 pounds), and it's offered in two forms. The S starts at $9,990 and is meant for street use, with two seats and a basic interior. The R model for $10,990 is more track-focused and features a tiny windshield and full roll cage. The company claims that complete cars can be built for around $15,000, after factoring in the donor Subaru. Performance is very brisk, with acceleration to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, according to Motor Authority.
The kits are meant to be something that even a relative novice could put together. All the builder needs to provide is a 2002-2007 Impreza or WRX. The car donates its turbocharged boxer four-cylinder engine, transmission, axles, brakes, steering and other major components. Factory Five supplies the spaceframe, body, suspension, lights, windshield and some interior trim. It doesn't even need paint, thanks to its gel-coated fiberglass body panels. The company also offers a laundry list of options, including carbon fiber aero components, upgraded suspension parts, improved brakes and more. Kits can be ordered in either left- or right-hand drive.
Acura may go all AWD in bid to mimic Subaru's success
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Acura's struggles have been well publicized. The Honda-owned luxury brand doesn't seem sure of where it's going or what it's trying to accomplish, with its cars and marketing lacking a coherent theme. Now, a new report from Automotive News claims that the brand could follow the success of Subaru and (to a lesser extent) Audi, and adopt all-wheel-drive as standard across its model range.
"I think that's the way we should go," Acura boss Koichi Fukuo told Automotive News.
Acura already offers some form of all-wheel drive on every vehicle in its line aside from the lamentable ILX sedan. That could change as Acura begins rolling out next-generation versions of its still relatively new stable of sedans and crossovers.
Subaru Cross Sport Design Concept is a BRZ with a backpack
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Sports cars are a notoriously tough sell over the long-term. Like convertibles, sales of even the best sports cars tend to be front-loaded in the first couple of years, at which point they drop off like a stone. That may serve to explain this mysterious two-door wagonback concept from Subaru, dubbed Cross Sport Design Concept.
While details aren't exactly thick on the ground, at first blush, this appears to be a higher-riding BRZ with a more utilitarian backpack. Reports suggest the rear-wheel-drive sports coupe's chassis is riding underneath, despite the fact that the Cross Sport is 2.6 inches longer overall. Assuming the chassis itself is basically unmodified and the 2.0-liter, flat, four-cylinder engine is untouched, this could be a very effective way for Subaru to increase its return on investment in the BRZ's underpinnings while generating a very cool (if niche) shooting brake model.
With the exception of a few bits of concept car frosting (wood-lined cargo bay floor, overly-detailed steroscopic camera mounts, slivered side mirrors, etc.), this thing looks production ready, and that's just ducky with us.
