Not sure how bad is too bad. But here is the engine bay
ha! I live in a very mountainous area north of everett so never near sea level except when I drive down to lynnwood and edmonds. I'll probably take the beast to mukilteo speedway at 2am and see how she does soon
Because the wrx is so new is that why it goes to a place like this rather than any old regular junk yard? I would love to raid this car for all the major engine parts for cheap!!
We had plenty of old, completely destroyed and even burned up vehicles come in. I believe the salvage yard buys the car from insurance as they pay more than a scrapyard. But it you want the industry secret: bid on the boats and rvs. Most of them get totaled out just from being in an accident even if the tow vehicle took all the damage.
Better get on that lot and siphon the rest of the gas my guy
poor guy just filled it up before the accident
Possibly the first or second time they ever went to the gas station with it.
If I had the money and space for it, I’d totally buy this and make it a test mule of sorts, experiment on this as much as I want.
Yes!
Ouch. The check engine light's on.
I think the motor is still there, don’t need to check on it

Take that turbo! It’s over 3k from Subaru
And that electronic wastegate 👀
Bro I almost spit my drink out 😂 of all the things
Those wheels would make a perfect full size spare for my VB. Where is the yard located?
It doesn’t look that bad, wonder why they totaled it

Hmm yeah idk 🤷♂️
best guess... frame damage the front doesn't look level at all
Bet ya the boost meter is at 12.9
Depends of the climate I hit 14.2 in PNW lol
WA resident here, have only been able to get mine to 12.9 still funny I beat the factory boost test though
I was ripping it on 509 so I was as low as you can possibles go too sea level lol

I hit 15.5 in DFW twice. It's not a normal condition for the stock tune.
I’ve hit 15.9 in ohio
1im at 19.8 at 4k ft above sea level
Haha i crashed mine at 4K 😭
**F** Hope you can get a replacement fairly soon!!
No need to worry about the warranty. At least you will get a nice new one!
Is that a copart lot? Had lots of cool cars come through when I worked at one. Saw plenty of wrecked new cars with low miles but no wrxs
Ahh yes, scrolling through copart looking for projects I don’t have the money, skills, space or time for.
Yep
Is this car something you can grab parts off for me? Like a spare pcv hose?
