This Platinum Silver Metallic 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi was modified under prior ownership with work including the installation of an IAG Stage 2 short block paired with ported and polished heads, a rotated Garrett GTX 3067r turbocharger, a front-mount intercooler, a TiAL wastegate, supporting fuel modifications, a custom tune, and an uprated clutch and driveshaft. The car rides on TEIN coilovers and 18″ Varrstoen ES2 wheels, and extra gauges, a Tomei titanium exhaust system, and additional modifications were fitted as described below. The car was acquired by the current owner on BaT in August 2025, and it now has 52k miles. This WRX STi is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with the owner’s manual and a Florida title in the owner’s name.
The car is finished in Platinum Silver Metallic (01G) and features an aluminum hood with a functional scoop as well as a sunroof, HID headlights, side skirts, power-adjustable mirrors, a rear wing, and a single exhaust outlet. The Carfax report lists an accident resulting in “very minor” rear-end damage in December 2017 that is said to be the result of being hit from behind while at a stop light. The rear bumper cover was repainted following the incident.
TEIN coilovers have been installed along with front and rear Kartboy end links. An STi H-brace and front strut bar have also been installed along with Prodrive mudflaps, Hella horns, rain guards, and a rear window lip.
The 18″ Varrstoen ES2 wheels were mounted with 255/35 Hankook Ventus RS4 tires in November 2024. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with Brembo four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers.
The heated front seats are trimmed in black and blue flat-woven cloth, and color-coordinated upholstery extends to the rear seats and the door panels. Factory equipment includes cruise control and automatic climate control, while WeatherTech floor mats, an aftermarket shift knob, a short-shift kit, a Pioneer touchscreen stereo, an Alcantara shift boot, and LED bulbs were added under prior ownership.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline as well as gauges for fuel level, and coolant temperature. Additional gauges are mounted on the A-pillar and center of the dashboard. The digital odometer indicates 52k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.
An IAG Stage 2 short block has been paired with ported and polished heads featuring Stage 1 GSC camshafts and Ferrea valves. ARP head studs were used along with a Cosworth high-flow intake manifold. A rotated Garrett GTX 3067r was installed along with a 4″ intake, an ETS front-mount intercooler, a TiAL 44mm wastegate, and a HKS blow-off valve. The seller notes that the battery has been replaced under current ownership.
