2007 Subaru WRX STI LIMITED 547/800 URBAN GREY Please watch this youtube video which has a large slideshow of photos! Overview: I am the second owner of this beautiful machine. I purchased this STI Limited from California in 2010 with about 16,000 miles, and shipped to Connecticut in a closed trailer. The previous owner had it as a weekend car; it was his baby. He purchased the Cobb Port for it, and it has always run a stage 1 tune (which apparently makes the air/fuel mixture better). Besides the stage 1 tune the car is bone stock. The previous owner mentioned that had he kept the car he would have done a SPT or Cobb downpipe and an aftermarket intake, but never got around to it. The previous owner did spend around $6,000 on a completely custom and well balanced audio system. Upon purchasing the car I intended to daily drive it, but despite its bolstered heated leather seats, sound system and sunroof, the STI Limited is a raw sports car. So like the previous owner I chose to keep it as a weekend car, and continued to daily my BMW 335. It has always been washed and waxed by hand and is taken on nice weekend drives in the Connecticut countryside spring, summer and fall. In the winter the car is stored in a temperature controlled garage, Stabil put in a full tank of 93, battery tender attached, and tires over pressurized (and rolled around occasionally) so not to get flat spots. Despite their reputation for being great in the snow, this car has never seen snow or salty roads. It has also never been tracked and was always adult driven. I am selling this STI because it has become one of too many toys. I barely have time to drive one weekend car, so now the STI gets neglected for the 911. The STI needs a new owner to baby her. Exterior: The car is completely MINT. It is without a doubt in my mind the cleanest STI Limited out there. It is one of 400 in the Urban Grey color and #547/800 STI Limited models produced. There are a few minor scratches here and there but they are almost unnoticeable without already knowing they are there. Any maintenance done to the car was done either at Danbury Subaru in Danbury, CT or EFI Logics in Bethel CT. EFI Logics is one of the best Subaru performance shops on the east coast. They recently flushed the diff fluid, did an oil change, brake fluid flush, brake pads and more. EFI also recommended I replace the brake rotors with stop tech Kryostop rotors but I never got around to it. The current rotors are not bad, but they are worn unevenly so they wear pads out more quickly. I just replaced the battery in the car as the charge was weak. The car also has brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires wrapped around the silver Enkei wheels unique to the STI Limited. This past fall when I driving the STI I struck a possum that ran into the road. This cracked the original front splitter with the STI badge and lightly damaged the front bumper. The car's bumper was repaired and the splitter replaced by North State Custom in Bedford Hills, NY. The front bumper looks better than it did from the factory. There are absolutely no bad panel gaps, in fact they are better than factory. The front splitter no longer has the STI badge on it but looks just like the factory one. I have all the receipts for any work done to the car, including those from the previous owner. Everything is documented. Interior: The STI's interior, like the exterior, is mint. The console looks very clean with the Pioneer head unit. This car features the Subaru factory boost gauge on the steering column. The interior has always been cleaned with high end products. While I have owned the car I have cleaned and conditioned the leather a few times. No harmful sprays or all purpose cleaners have been used. Warm water and soft rags to wipe down and windex for windows. The car has both summer and winter mats. The drivers side summer mat is torn where it attaches to the single pin that holds it in place (a very bad design if you ask me). All the other mats are perfect. The driver's seat has very light wear on the outside bolster. The rest of the seats look new; the interior still has that new car smell. The trunk and trunk mat are very clean. The trunk mat isn't removable because the JL stealth box was mounted on top of it. The amplifiers are mounted under the trunk floor where the spare tire would have been. All the wiring is invisible; it is truly a stealth audio system. The spare tire is in a tire rack donut bag and can be kept in the car or left at home. The original radio is in the pioneer box and will be included with the car. The Cobb tuning port (box, instructions, etc) will also be included in the sale.
Audio System: The audio system features a pioneer touchscreen head unit which looks simpler and more elegant than stock. The head unit also features bluetooth phone capability (has a mic built in) and a reverse camera mounted in the license plate location. It has upgraded pioneer speakers in all the doors (component in front/coax in rear) and a kicker amplifier to power them. It also has a JL 10w6v2 subwoofer in a stealth box, and a kicker amplifier to power that as well. A note to the buyer: The milage will vary slightly as I do take the car out occasionally. Local Pickup is easier. Buyer pays and arranges shipping if desired. Serious inquires only!!! No joyrides. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask! Thanks for looking! Best of Luck |

Vehicles awarded IIHS Top Safety Pick awards skyrockets for 2015 [w/video]
Wed, Dec 24 2014By practically every measure, passenger vehicles in the US are continuing to get safer. With the year rapidly coming to an end, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is releasing its annual list tallying of the scores for the latest vehicles to see how they compare to last year. Judging by the agency's evaluations, the numbers look quite positive. According to the institute, 71 vehicles earned either the Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ rating so far in its testing for 2015. Among the latest winners, there have been 33 TSP+ awards and 38 TSP medalists. That's a healthy increase over the 22 TSP+ and 17 TSP grades in 2014. The figures appear even more impressive when you consider that it keeps getting harder to earn the + designation. In the latest round of testing, a vehicle must offer some form of front crash prevention automatic braking to get the mark. Previously, just a warning to drivers was necessary. This list also illustrates the ways that automakers adapt to new testing procedures. In 2013 there were 117 TSP ratings and 13 TSP+ awards. Then, the IIHS mandated that to be a safety pick, a model had to score Good in the institute's four crash tests, plus a Good or Acceptable in the small overlap front test. That brought a plunge in 2014 to just 17 TSP grades. With the numbers climbing again, companies apparently have deciphered how to perform better. Some brands especially stood out on this year's list. The IIHS praised Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and Acura for offering standard front crash prevention systems on some models. Subaru received at least one of the awards for all seven of its models. Toyota also had seven, and the Honda brand did too – though the institute counts the two- and four-door versions of the Civic and Accord separately. Check out the full announcement below and a video about this year's winners. The full list can be viewed, here. Safety gains ground: More vehicles earn top honors from IIHS The number of vehicles earning either of the Institute's two awards has jumped to 71 from 39 this time last year, giving consumers more choices for optimum protection in crashes. The number of winners in the top tier - TOP SAFETY PICK+ - has increased by 11 for 2015, despite a tougher standard for front crash prevention. "This is the third year in a row that we are giving automakers a tougher challenge to meet," says IIHS President Adrian Lund.
Scion testing updated FR-S
Thu, Sep 17 2015It looks like Toyota is preparing a mid-cycle update for its critically acclaimed GT86, known here in the US as the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. As far as updates go, this one looks to be rather average. Hidden behind the camouflaged front and rear ends, we have new headlights and taillights, which according to our spies looked to be of the LED variety. We wouldn't be shocked to see the GT86 get LED taillights, although fitting the top-of-the-line headlights seems less likely. Supporting that position are the images we have of the actual headlights in action, which don't look quite bright enough to be full LED units. Instead, we'd expect some new form of running light, perhaps with bi-xenon low beams. Aside from the lamps, the front bumper gets a larger, more prominent lower intake, while the rear end sports a redefined bumper that houses larger dual exhaust tips. The size of the spoiler has been increased, too. According to our spies, we should also expect powertrain enhancements – which we can only hope means more power – as well as upgrades to the interior of the GT86. While it's possible that the updates being tested in Germany could be exclusive to the European market, that seems unlikely. We'd expect the same new enhancements to at least find their way to the Scion, if not its Subaru-badged twin. Check out the full battery of spy photos up top. Related Video:
Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?
Wed, 13 Mar 2013According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
