For Sale: 2011 Subaru STI GRB Sedan with over 100K invested VIN: Private message Miles: 14,190 on the body, a little more than 7,000 on the build Price: First $42,000 takes everything. That's right, you could make money parting it out if you have the time, but I got a baby on the way, and I need to sell her. I've been offered 32 31 and 27 by dealerships locally. I have owned this car since 50 miles, I know everything about it, and I was there during every transformation, upgrade, mod, show, etc. I am the driver and the person responsible for the complete build coordination therefore I can explain the fabrication, installation, suspension alignment, motor build process, balancing, parts purchases, whatever you want to know about it, I can tell you. Please ask specific questions with regard to something you want to know, if you ask me to itemize every little thing, I will kindly refer you to Rallysport Direct or Full-Race's website orVividRacing.com to look at prices, The cost of this car was 37,500 when I bought it from the SOLON AUTO Dealership in Pueblo Colorado in August 2011. The cost of parts has been well over $50,000 alone and I'm not including the cost for dyno time, tuning, any installation, fabrication, etc, therefore I have estimated that over $100,000 has been invested. includes both sets of wheels 19" Advan RZ's Gunmetal with Nitto Invo's AND Brand new 19" VOLK TE37 Tokyo Time Attack Diamond Cut with Brand new Advan Neova tires three sets of suspension, currently installed is Air Lift Performance Air ride, but will include OEM Struts and coils, as well as the suspension used in most of the photographs which is Tein Flex Coilovers My heart and soul went into making this car what it is. I have spent so much time and money making my car what it is that it is hard to imagine life without her. Unfortunately, my family needs me more than my car and I'm hoping that another Enthusiast can enjoy what I've been blessed with putting together. This is a turn key, completed project, take it to the track, next big show, or drive it to work like I did, all in the same day. My STI has won 2nd place at SPOCOM 2012 and 3rd place at SPOCOM 2013 Hawaii. Various magazines have also requested to feature it, I can discuss that with potential buyers. Also if you have a question about a part, please feel free to ask, I will answer you, and I can take a picture if you need to see something specific, it's not a problem and I'm glad to help anybody considering this purchase with evidence of the high quality and pride I have taken building this outstanding machine. There is so much I may have missed something when I wrote up the description, but I do keep receipts and all of the parts have been purchased from Reputable dealers like Full Race and RallysportDirect so you can verify the cost on your own. Some of the items, like the HKS Exhaust which I bought from RSD for almost $2,000 I have never seen again. So I will make sure that the receipts are retained for the next buyer so they can have the same confidence in the quality of everything that I have. Jarrad from PDX did all of my tuning, the car has spent about 3 and a half hours combined on 3 separate occasions to get the tuning where it is right now. Before switching to E85 when I got back to california, I was running premium pump gas and with about 23lbs of boost at peak, over boost was set for 24 on the eboost2 and I was hitting a solid 478 awhp, and 410 awtq, this was prior to the most recent charge piping my friend and I designed and tigged up. I really just need to sell her now for medical reasons and I'm at that point where I may have to accept the high offer from a local dealership because I'm in a tough spot. I never thought I would let her go for less than 60k, but here I am ready to take about half of that, there is no catch, nothing is broken and even if it was, I could build an engine for a lot less than this is costing me in the long run, feel free to do a compression check or whatever but I need a serious offer in the next day or so or the stealership is gonna rape me. Also, I've got most of the receipts for the parts, and if I don't RallySportDirect, Jarrad, and Geoff at Full Race can vouch for my legitimacy. If I was looking at this I would think it's to good to be true and something must be wrong, but it's completely the opposite.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
2015 Subaru WRX
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Every time I drive a Subaru WRX, I wish one of my parents had taken some weird, top-secret spy job that would have forced us to relocate to Finland when I was a kid. I could have learned the art of rally-style car control as a young lad, and in my adult life, sought out a dangerous/rewarding/awesome career as a professional WRC driver.
Never was that more clear than on the launch program for the new 2015 WRX, where Subaru pointed us down a long, somewhat treacherous stretch of road in the tree-lined mountains of northern California. Quick elevation changes were met with blind turns and washed-out shoulders, not to mention rogue bits of snow, ice and gravel that lined the apexes of nearly every turn. Here, I couldn't stop grinning, my co-driver and I switching between second and third gears, with precise steering inputs and judicious braking keeping us safely on the road and not plummeting nose-first into the trees. And the WRX simply devoured each inch of pavement with a ferocious poise that made me remember why I have loved this car so darn much.
But this sort of 100 Acre Wood perfection isn't the only way to experience Subaru's darling WRX. After a long stint of driving back down the California coast on Highway 1, I realized that Subaru's line about this being the best-driving WRX yet wasn't just a bunch of PR mumbo-jumbo. Of course, it isn't without a few compromises...
