In great mechanical condition and ready for immediate service. I'm a mechanical engineer with plenty of auto experience and I do all the maintenance myself. I can answer any questions or show you the underside of the car (I've got a lift).

======FEATURES======
- Heated seats, mirrors, and windshield wipers
- 6CD changer with premium audio. Previous owner installed an AUX in line so you can play from your phone or music player. 
- Subaru roof rack, Yakima roof rack attachment is available for single bike mount
- Front side airbags (torso and head) - only on XT for this year
- ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution front-to-back
- Standard cloth floor mats and another set of rubber all-weather Subaru mats (including trunk)

======THE LONG VERSION=======

First owner bought in Baltimore and did all required service at the Owings Mills dealership. Sold to me around 62k miles all stock. 

I did the following work and modifications:

- STI brake booster and master cylinder
- WRX/ Saab 9-2x steering rack (faster steering ratio and linear instead of progressive). Installed with new urethane rack bushings
- STI rear sway bar with STI endlinks
- Koni yellow adjustable sport dampers with STI springs (adjustable rebound)
- Continental DWS tires with plenty of tread left. D, W, and S letters still showing on all tires.
- Transmission and differential fluids Subaru synthetic Extra-S
- Regular oil changes with synthetic and Wix oil filters. 
- Always premium gas.
- Mishimoto intercooler hoses and all aluminum fully welded radiator
- Morimoto HID bixenon projector retrofit (not just xenon bulbs put into stock housing). Yellow/white 4300k bulbs, not purple or blue.

New Parts within the last 1000 miles:
- 2 front CV axles
- 2 front ball joints
- left tie rod
- New drivers window motor
- new battery
- repaired leaking A/C line - fresh recharge

At ~85k miles the turbo bearings began to give out, but was caught quickly. I removed the stock oil screens in the feed line and installed a good used WRX turbo. There is a small exhaust leak at the wastegate linkage pivot pin that causes the turbo to be audible as it spools (think WRC car). This will not cause any mechanical issues, CEL, etc because is on the exhaust side and downstream from the turbine

Also replaced gaskets,  oil drain tube, radiator hoses, and intercooler tubes with Mishimoto silicone tubes.

Currently the only known issue I can think of is a subtle thumping noise at low speeds. It sounds like a CV axle so recently I replaced the front axles, but the problem did not go away. I have driven it like this for over 1.5 years and it has always been fine and it is safe. I also checked over all suspension an drivetrain components and everything feels tight with no slop or play. Unfortunately I don't have any more time to diagnose it further.

Cosworth announces Power Packages for Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S with up to 380 hp [w/video]

Sat, 31 May 2014

Cosworth stands on the list of the most famous engine tuners in the world with its DFV engine engine dominating Formula One for a time in the '70s. So when it teases plans to take on the FA20 engine from Subaru and Toyota found in the BRZ, Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86 abroad, our interest is indeed piqued. Cosworth is promising to take the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder boxer engine from its current 200 horsepower all the way to 325 hp and even 380 hp in a future track version through a series of staged Power Packages. At the moment, only the first stage is available that takes the mill to a potent 230 hp.
Cosworth says that its new strategy is to offer its upgrades in kits rather than individually so that it can be sure that everything works and fits when owners receive it. The Stage 1 Power Package emphasizes helping the FA20 breathe better and includes a nearly complete replacement for the stock exhaust system. There is a sports exhaust with four-inch, diagonally cut, polished tips and Y-shaped muffler, an overpipe front pipe with a spherical resonator and a new manifold header that is 22 percent lighter the standard unit. In addition to that, the kit comes with a software reflash, low temperature thermostat, Cosworth badge and plaque.
The stage one kit is available now, and stages two and three go on sale later this summer, according to its website. Autoblog contacted Cosworth for pricing information for the kits. We will update this story, if we hear back. The company also released a video showing off the exhaust upgrades. Scroll down to watch it and read the full release, below.

Refreshed 2015 Subaru Impreza priced from $18,195*

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

It was just a few weeks ago that Subaru unveiled its refreshed 2015 Impreza with refinements like a tweaked front fascia, upgraded infotainment system, standard rearview camera, slightly better fuel economy and other goodies. The Japanese automaker has finally decided to tell us what all of this new kit costs, and it actually hasn't increased too much over last year.
A base model 2015 Impreza 2.0i sets back buyers $18,195 for the four-door sedan or $18,695 for the five-door hatch (*not including $795 destination and delivery on all models). All of those prices are $300 more than the 2014 model year.
Moving up to the Premium trim requires $20,995 for the sedan or $21,495 for the five-door and adds 16-inch wheels, heated seats, heated mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer. The Sport Premium pack, offered exclusively on the hatch, goes further with features like body-color side sills, 17-inch wheels, foglights, and more for $20,995 with the five-speed manual or $21,995 with the CVT.

2015 Subaru Outback

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

"We like producing cars that are different." That's the company line trumpeted by several Subaru executives during the launch of the 2015 Outback - one of Fuji Heavy's most successful vehicles to date. Managing Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski accurately noted that while Subaru has never really found salvation with its mainstream sedans, it's the higher-riding, butcher offerings like the Outback and the Impreza-based XV Crosstrek that have been sales stars for the Japanese company. In 2013, for example, Subaru sold nearly three Outbacks for every Legacy it moved. And in 2014, the XV is on pace to outsell the Impreza upon which its based.
But Subarus have always been different, catering to unique customers that desire something a bit more special than your run-of-the-mill sedan or crossover. It's clearly worked, with Subaru having posted 30 months of year-over-year sales increases as of this writing. And even as the automaker's portfolio goes more mainstream, smoothing out its serially awkward styling and gunning for a larger market share here in the United States, that intrinsic Subaru differentiation is still baked in to each and every product.
It's that new Outback we're here to talk about today, a vehicle that's been comprehensively redesigned for the 2015 model year while not shaking up the formula that's made it successful since its inception in the mid-1990s, back when it (arguably) launched what we now know as the crossover utility vehicle segment. It's still plenty different - and plenty good, too.
