the car is located in silver spring, md
mileage: 63,500
clean and clear title

for sale is a 2008 impreza wrx. she was built by worldwide-respected subaru specialists, IAG. at the heart of this beautiful creation is a full-race twinscroll turbo kit mated up to a borg warner 70/64 EWG twin-scroll turbo on IAG's built motor.

the car is easy to drive and is a daily-driver. i have had many cars and this is one of the most enjoyable and easiest to appreciate. the unrelenting smooth powerband quickly reminds you how far she can take you, if pushed. she is mild-mannered and smooth to shift through the STI six-speed gearbox. give her a nudge and she will take you with a stupid grin all the way to the end. it is truly just a BLAST to drive. the twin-scroll turbo has amazing transient response between shifts and the car picks up speed effortlessly moving through the gears. the detail and balance maintained throughout this build by IAG is noticeable everywhere and appreciated by many.

she is a one-owner car. i purchased it brand new in late 2008 and she has been professionally and diligently maintained and worked on through all her exciting transitions and modifications.

there is over $40,000 in parts alone (without labor) in the build with the highest quality components. dedicated attention to detail given has made her what she is today.

i'm not crazy and thinking i am going to get anywhere near what has been put into this money-pit. rather, i'm looking to sell this girl off quick to free up cash for a new project; hence i have priced accordingly - at least i hope so!

ASKING PRICE IS $30,000 $28k $27k $25k $24k $22k $21k!

Re: 2008 IAG & FULL-RACE BUILD - $30k

Beautiful car, great looking power band. Lots of top notch parts, with professionals to stand behind it! Is the block one of IAG staged blocks or did the just go through and forge existing? If it is a staged block which one if you wouldn't mind.

thanks so much! this is a built IAG block with all upgraded components. it was before the recent "staged" title offerings IAG has put together. i provided more detail on the specifics of the engine build on the mod list. thanks for asking and posting!

one of the expensive and time-consuming things that has been done to the car that is not mentioned are complete sound deadening of cabin and trunk. with only the highest quality second skin audio offerings used - "luxury liner pro", "damplifier pro", "overkill pro", and "spectrum sludge".
