2004 SUBARU FORESTER XT TURBO WITH ONLY 87,303 MILES

•  RUNS GREAT / LOOKS GOOD, 
WE'RE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS SINCE NEW, NO ACCIDENTS, JUST PASSED NY STATE INSPECTION
•  SELLING BECAUSE WE ARE MOVING BACK TO CALIFORNIA AND DO NOT WANT TO SHIP IT WEST 

My wife and I purchased this Subaru new in 2004. The miles are largely highway miles, as we’ve primarily used it to zip in and out of NYC. The car has been maintained by our local area Subaru dealer, Bill Kolb Jr. in Orangeburg NY.

The last service was in January when the 'check engine light' popped on and the code indicated there was an 'evap emissions' malfunction, so we replaced both the gas cap and canister and that seems to be have done the trick. Last fall, we did a full front brake job with new rotors and last summer we installed a new radiator, as the orginal one had developed a tiny pinhole leak.

The car has never been in a traffic accident or disabled in any way, however, there are various cosmetic hiccups including:
-  a dent on the left rear quarter panel, from where I backed into my wife's BMW in the driveway (that made her super happy)
-  the paint is peeling on the rear rubber bumper (see photos)
-  there are quite a few dimples in the hood from acorns falling from an Oak tree above where we park the cars
-  various scratches and dings, etc

Watch Mark Higgins whomp the Isle of Man TT course in a 2015 WRX STI

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Subaru has made another trip to the infamous Isle of Man TT, bringing along its all-new 2015 Subaru WRX STI. The goal? Best the already impressive time set by rally ace Mark Higgins and the 2011 Impreza WRX STI on the same swirling, high-paced ribbon of tarmac. Of course, you already know how that went.
What we didn't know when the story first broke, though, was that Subaru was monitoring data. Specifically, Higgins' data. He was fitted with a monitor that would record his heart rate, breaths, skin temperature and the g forces he was faced with as he lapped the 37-plus-mile road course. While Higgins and Co. were aiming to best their 2011 time (19:56.7), this year's effort also saw a push to beat the time of the sidecar racers.
You can get a recap of the entire event, with plenty of footage and data from Higgins' lap in the exhilarating video below. Take a look.

US Army tests Subaru-powered hybrid truck

Sat, 04 Jan 2014

The military has been studying the implementation of alternative drivetrains for years, a tiny sampling of which includes the diesel-electric hybrid technical hauler and L-ATV from Oshkosh Defense and the Aggressor from Quantum Technologies. There was also ADA Technologies' work with ultracapitors, General Motors' focus on fuel cells and the roll out of electric motorcycles for Special Forces. In the Ultra Light Vehicle (ULV) prototype vehicle pictured above, we have the latest developments in the Department of Defense's hybrid interest combined with a need to develop a lightweight replacement for the AM General Humvee.
In 2010 the Office of the Secretary of Defense put the Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) in charge of developing a personnel carrier that could "balance payload, performance and protection," and do so without exorbitant cost. Armored Humvees can weigh more than seven tons, and while the ULV is just under 14,000 pounds, the new vehicle can do a lot more with its weight.
The Subaru turbodiesel under the hood puts out 175 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. That's not much for pulling 13,916 pounds, so it's assisted by two Remy 410HVH HT electric motors each capable of adding 268 continuous hp and 369 peak hp, along with 844 lb-ft of continuous torque or 1,221 ft-lbs at peak. They're only limited by the 14.2 kWh lithium-ion battery rated at 65 kW of continuous power and 180 kW of peak power, but still, TARDEC says the ULV can do 21 miles on electric power and on the flats has a combined range of 337 miles at 35 mph.

Subaru Impreza shows off 360-degree passing technique

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Leave it to a Subaru WRX to find a new way to improve the art of passing. This dash cam vid shows a white WRX pirouetting past our recording car and somehow straightening out before either sliding off the road or slamming into the car ahead. If this were a standard move in rally racing, the WRC would be bigger than NASCAR.
Like most dash cam vids, we don't know where it was shot (Russia's always a good bet) or what the circumstances were (did the driver spin on purpose or was the 360-degree slide accidental?), but the remarkable feat was caught on camera and uploaded to YouTube, preserving it for an Internet eternity. Scroll below to watch the twist yourself, and don't try this at home!
