For sale is my highly modified Subaru Legacy GT. It has been converted to RHD and swapped with a JDM twin-turbo GT-B motor by ECS performance located in Windsor Locks, CT. This has been a blast to own and surely turns heads wherever it goes. The modifications are as stated below.

This car has been on ECS’s mustang dyno where it put down 240whp/202wtq on its stock setup. I’ve loved this car for a couple of years now and it’s time to move on and find it a new owner. I have done some work to it since its purchase. The heater core was replaced a year ago. The “magic box” where are the vacuum lines are housed was gone through and all lines were replaced. This car had the usual Subaru rust in the rear quarters that was repaired. I replaced the A/C condenser as well. This is a quick car with a sunroof, functional A/C, and rides surprisingly well for being on coilovers. 

THIS IS A OBD1 ENGINE SWAP INTO A OBD2 CAR, THEREFOR REG/INSPECTION IT IN SOME STATES MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE AS IT DOES NOT HAVE A WORKING OBD2 PORT, IN MASS 15 YEARS OR OLDER IS SAFTEY ONLY SO I HAD NO ISSUES, WITH THE MODS THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD IS IS AS A "TRACK" CAR THAT COMES WITH A CLEAN TITLE IF YOU CHOOSE TO GET IT ON THE ROAD!!!!


The bad, throw-out or pilot bearing makes minor noise in netural with clutch out, has done this for years and has not gotten any worse, also some rust is starting under the rockers that could use some attention in the future, I drive the regular and I trust it is a solid car, just to many projects this has to move on, I would pefer a local sale so they can see the car before getting it , but I would assist a shipper load it if it was all scheduled by the buyer. this is quite the car so if you have any questions feel free to email me I can give ya a call and discuss the car with ya further !!

Subaru Viziv Future Concept conceptualizes the future

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Well, here's a rugged little thing. It's the latest in Subaru's Viziv series of concepts, unimaginatively called the Viziv Future Concept. But never mind the name, what we have here is a forward-thinking SUV that packs a new hybrid powertrain, downsized turbo engine, and reworked version of Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. That said, there's little to learn about these reworked systems, with Subaru's own press blast saying a whole lot of nothing about the new technologies found within the Viziv. Only the updated AWD system gets an explanation, with Subaru saying the "propeller shaft has been eliminated by mounting the single motor concentrically on the rear axle in a compact layout. In addition to AWD capabilities, a flat floor is realized for an expansive, comfortable interior space." What does the Viziv mean for Subaru? It's hard to say. Initially, this concept looks like a neat take on a next-generation Forester, but let's also remember that Subaru plans to re-join the three-row SUV segment soon with a proper replacement for the Tribeca. In any case, it's a tough-looking thing, and something we could easily see fitting in with Subaru's range of rugged all-rounders. Related Video: Subaru VIZIV Future Concept (world premiere) Subaru VIZIV Future Concept is a SUV-type concept model embodying the future vision of car development for "enjoyment and peace of mind" that Subaru wants to provide to customers. Along with a package of design features that motivate the owner to get out and get active, this car gives a look at next-generation technologies that will further enhance the reputation of Subaru for "enjoyment and peace of mind" in driving. Among them are the automatic driving technology resulting from the ongoing evolution of EyeSight, and the power unit combining a downsized turbo engine with a hybrid system. Subaru remains focused on providing cars that enrich the lives of customers, as the start of an exciting new chapter. The Subaru VIZIV Future Concept gives a glimpse at the future Subaru has in mind for the brand. 1. Design The design concept is "Subaru & Active Life". Giving concrete form to the Subaru Dynamic & Solid design theme, the design clearly shows the value of "enjoyment and peace of mind", while generating the urge to go out and actively discover the wide world. Exterior The body as a three-dimensional solid form is given a clear polished surface enhancing the impression of high density and sturdiness.

Subaru mulls motorsports return, nixes small CUV plans

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The 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.

Subaru recalling 660k vehicles in some states for possible brake line corrosion

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

Subaru is recalling 660,238 vehicles located in 20 US states that use salt on their roads. It's possible that salty water could splash onto the rear brake lines, and it could eventually cause corrosion and potentially perforation, leading to a fluid leak.
The recall covers the 2005-2009 Outback and Legacy, 2008-2011 Impreza, 2008-2014 WRX and STI and 2009-2013 Forester. However, only vehicles currently or formerly registered in the following snowy US states or districts are covered: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. The company previously recalled the 2005-2009 Legacy and Outback to repair this problem, and now it's added the additional models, plus any of the original cars it missed the first time.
According to the defect notice from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Subaru found a total of 24 cases of corrosion in US leading up to the recall. There was a single case of actual brake line perforation, but it happened in Switzerland, according to the document. The company believes that it would take seven or more seasons of winter driving on salty roads before any corroding would begin.
