Up for sale is a 1999 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport with 238,000 miles on it. It is a 5 speed manual, all wheel drive vehicle that is also the sport model, so it has the WRX hood with the hood scoop and also a roof rack.
Here's the story: I bought this almost one year ago from the original owner with 184,000 miles on it. The owner had replaced the clutch (throwout bearing, pressure plate and 20lb flywheel), preformed a tune up and replaced the catilytic converter with all of the exhaust pipes back from it (about a $1,500 job, and happens to all Subaru's notoriously). The check engine light was on (and still is) but I got around it at the time of inspection (thank you shady auto shops) with a little bit of extra cash. The code was reading the cat code (P4020) and was told that when the new cat was put on, the wrong clamp was also put on, so some excess air was flowing through the cat, throwing the code. Again, the check engine light didn't bother me as it didn't affect performance, nor did it prevent me from getting it inspected. Fast forward to now: I've put almost 60k miles on it (current mileage: 238xxx) exclusively highway miles. I travel for work and all over the northeast, from here to Pittsburgh and to as far south as Baltimore. I have done normal maintainance to this vehicle, including doing oil changes every two weeks (that's right. every two weeks). I've done ball joints, transaxles, put new tires on this back in October (about 50% tread left) and have aligned the vehicle almost as frequently as I've gotten oil changes. THE BAD: Before I explain what's wrong, let me preface this by saying that this has been reliable up until a few days ago. I've never broken down in this, it has always brought me to where ever I've had to go, even as far away as Canada. For the past few weeks, I've been getting some hesitation when I try to accelerate, especially coming from a full stop into first gear, say from a red light. So much hesitation, in fact, that the check engine light blinks. One it gets past the hesitation, it runs and drives normally. I had the check engine light analyzed and found out that there is a misfire in cylinder #2 (P300 code). I did a full tune up, and the misfire is still occuring. I got a second opinion on the matter and on the same day, the car developed a rod knock. It knocks when you put your foot down and goes away at higher rpm. My mechanic says that the knock is probably crankshaft related and that a rod will throw sooner rather than later. Upon hearing this news, I returned the coil pack (it was like $160 bucks) and drove it for 2 more days before parking it. In conclusion, the car runs, but you will need to address the rod knock and the misfiring issue to continue driving it as it sits. I'm selling the car for parts, but you could (in theory) drive it for a while before it throws a rod. It could die today, it could die a year from now, who knows? It will also need front pads and it burns some oil in top gear, but thats to be expected for a car with 238xxx on it. I have a clean title in my hand. The car still has plates on it, so if you want to come and drive it a little, drop me a message with your contact info and I'll get back to you. If there are any questions, feel free to ask me at any time. SOLD AS-IS. NO RETURNS. |

Subaru teasing STI surprise for NYC show?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Subaru is no stranger to the Special Edition car, least of all where its vaunted WRX and STI are concerned. From Spec C to Prodrive to 22B, more than a handful of STI's around the world have been released as limited-run editions, often with stirring results. So, while we were more than a little bit surprised to see that big-wing crop up on the Subaru Twitter page today, we can't say as though its not true to the brand's history.
However, while most of the interesting WRX STI variants have been offered to Europe and Japan only, whatever is wearing that carbon-fiber-lipped wing is set to debut at the New York Auto Show this week.
We don't have a clue as to the precise nature of the car in front of that wing, save to say that it's likely based on the STI. We can guess, however that the extra vertical supports and the use of carbon fiber indicate a higher-performance version than currently exists. Anything from a racing application to some new goodies for the aftermarket are in the realm of possibility.
Subaru recalls 3k Legacy and Outback models for fluid leak
Tue, Aug 25 2015Subaru is recalling 2,893 examples of the 2015-2016 Legacy and Outback because of a potential transmission fluid leak on the two models. The affected vehicles carry build dates between July 3 and July 25, 2015 for the Legacy, and until July 27 on the Outback. According to a Subaru document posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), during production, the seal cap in the propeller shaft yoke may have been deformed. This could cause a transmission fluid leak, and "there is a possible risk of fire" if the liquid drips onto the exhaust, the report says. Dealers will replace the entire prop shaft on these models, and repairs will start on August 28. New examples will carry a stop-sale until fixed.

Cosworth teases upgrades for Subaru BRZ
Mon, 19 May 2014Subaru may or may not produce an STI version of the BRZ. Things seem to go back and forth on the subject. But Subaru Tecnica International isn't the only company with a history of tuning Subies. So does Cosworth, and now the British racing firm appears to be turning its attention to the BRZ and its Toyota- and Scion-badged siblings.
For those unacquainted, Cosworth is more than your average tuning company. It's a racing firm first and foremost, having made F1 engines under its own name as well as Ford's (chief among them the all-conquering DFV 3.0-liter V8 of 1960s and 70s fame), not to mention engines for Indy, rally and even high-performance, road-going versions of the Ford Sierra, Chevy Vega and Mercedes 190E. The list goes on and on, but you get the point.
Now withdrawing from Formula One, Cosworth is focusing its attention on tuning road cars again with the launch of the Cosworth Power Package line, the first of which will focus on the Toyota GT86 (aka Scion FR-S) and Subaru BRZ. We don't know just yet what will be included in the packaged dubbed FA-20, but from the video teaser below, it seems there'll be upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, aero and - if we're lucky - maybe a super- or turbocharger for the 2.0-liter flat-four engine. We'll have to wait and see, but we get the feeling that with Cosworth on the job, it'll be worth the wait. Check out the minute-long video below in the meantime.
