2012 Subaru Sti 16k Miles Stock on 2040-cars
Royal Oak, Michigan, United States
Decided to go back to school so I can no longer afford the
Sti. I bought this is California, my
wife and I moved here to Michigan about 1.5 years ago. The car is in great
shape, it only has 16,000 miles. I used
to travel for work, so it sat in the garage.
It took me a year to put 5,000 miles on it. I have been using it to commute daily for the
past, almost year, since leaving that job and going back to school. It has normal wear for this millage, a few
small rock chips and scratches. A touch
up pen and a clay bar it would be like new.
It is in excellent condition.
Nothing bad with the car in any way, ever. I have the maintenance package with it, so no
cost other than tires for another 20k miles.
The car has not been modified, except for the grimspeed master cylinder
brace, which I would not really consider a mod.
If you are unaware of this, it is basically a brace that bolts on the
the top of the strut tower and sits against the master cylinder so it does not
flex forward during braking. No engine
tuning or anything else. I do have one
year old Bridgestone Blizzack WS-70 winter tires that will go with it as
well. The car came with the options of
SPT exhaust, short shifter - I did replace the bushing that Subaru should also
change but does not with this shifter, fog lights, homelink/dim rear view, and
Sti shift knob. I also have the all
weather mats. Please feel free to call or
text me at 561-601-8508 anytime or email me at dshauser13@yahoo.com Thanks |

Revisit the charms of the 1978 Subaru Brat
Mon, 27 Jan 2014The Subaru Brat is the automotive equivalent of a teenager with a mullet: weird, a little reckless but brimming with enough self-confidence to make it cool.
The Brat came from Subaru's desire to compete in the burgeoning light pickup market of the late-1970s. To get around the so-called Chicken Tax that added a 25 percent tariff on imported pickup trucks, Subaru threw two seats in the bed, which technically allowed it to be classified it as a passenger car. The result was a great, weird combination of a complete lack of safety, with a low price and lots of driving fun.
In the video below, Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman takes a 1978 Brat through the desert and shows just how much fun a little pickup can be.
US Army tests Subaru-powered hybrid truck
Sat, 04 Jan 2014The 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 mulls motorsports return, nixes small CUV plans
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The Subaru WRX STI breaking the automotive lap record at the Isle of Man might be just the beginning of the headlines trumpeting a Subaru racecar. According to the latest rumors, the Japanese brand is looking at taking motorsports more seriously in the future. That could possibly even mean endurance racing at Le Mans.
According to Auto Express, the brand is mulling a greater participation in motorsport, but the big question is where. The World Rally Championship isn't a certainty because it now favors smaller cars like the Volkswagen Polo. Subaru still competes in series like Rally America and Global Rallycross, but there are bigger stages to play on.
What's interesting, is that this commitment to motorsports comes right as the automaker is denying plans to build a small CUV for its passenger car lineup. According to Auto Express, the company has no intention of developing a crossover smaller than the current XV Crosstrek. Even if the sales are there, it would just cost too much to develop. In the US, at least, the XV is doing great with sales up 42 percent in July.
