If you’ve got what it takes to put this thing in your driveway, then good for you, mate! You’ll undoubtedly be the talk of the town, as long as you live in a small town where most people are avid car enthusiasts. Regardless, this is one very interesting Scooby.
What you’re looking at is a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi, with a Crystal Gray Metallic exterior and 178,300 miles (287,000 km) on its 2.5-liter turbocharged boxer unit. If you’re just reading this sentence without having seen any of the images, you might think “Oh, that’s nice... moving on” - but that would be a mistake.
This speedy Scooby was converted into a pick-up truck using a Smyth Performance ‘Ute’ kit and its list of modifications goes on to include a Turbo Tek ECU tune, a COBB Tuning boost control solenoid, high-flow catalytic converter, 18-inch fifteen52 ‘Integrale’ wheels, an IAG Performance skid plate, aluminum tonneau cover, a Kenwood touchscreen for the interior (with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto), plus Alpine speakers for the sound system.
Then there’s the custom front splitter, Rally Armor mudflaps, three-inch stainless steel exhaust system, LED third brake light and reverse lights, Kartboy shifter bushings, Ultrasuede upholstery for the headliner, plus extra sound-deadening materials.
Last but not least, we have the Brembo brakes, front and rear limited-slip differentials, a Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD), HID headlights, cloth and Alcantara upholstery, STi-design front seats, power-adjustable door mirrors and air conditioning.
As for performance, the previously mentioned turbo boxer engine was rated at 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft (406 Nm) of torque back when it was new (and stock). Unfortunately, we don’t have a dyno sheet for this car, which by the way is up for grabs to the highest bidder through Doug DeMuro’s Cars & Bids.
Of course, DeMuro was absolutely thrilled to feature this custom Impreza on his website, calling it “amazing” in ALL-CAPS.
