1992 Subaru Svx 5 Spd Conversion Rust Free Car Fun Driver Located In Philly on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
1992 Subaru SVX AWD 5 spd PLANET SVX is selling 1 of their favorite cars First and formost, Im in Tucson but the car is in storage in Philly PA RIGHT NOW. So if you are on the eastcoast, this will save you alot on shipping unless You just want to go pick it up and drive it home. Secondly, the savlage title issue. This car was in a 10 mph impact with a metal gate at a car dealership as it was pulling out of the dealer, the gate was closed and the last owner didnt see it due to the setting sun in his eyes. So it damaged the windshield, fender and door. The car was fixed easily with a NEW windshield from the dealer and a good rust free door and fender off another Az car. The paint was done to match on the door and fender and looked good. Since then the cars been sitting in the Sun here in Az and the roof and trunk area are faded alot and showing the worst of it all. The 5 spd conversion was done before we got the car and it runs and drives great. No weird noises or grinding from the drivetrain. Its just a fun car to jump in and use as a daily driver. Being an SVX of course it a performance car, but to me its more of a hwy cruiser or touring car to compete with Lexus and BMW etc. which these cars do VERY WELL if not better. DRIVETRAIN: original motor with about 145k on it. Runs great with no check engine lights. Gas mileage too on this car is better then any of my automatic SVXs. Its had some recent stuff done in the last 20k miles like belts and stuff too. Brakes feel great too. It does have some nice aftermarket MB Motoring 17" wheels too with good decent tires, 245 45 17s. INTERIOR: leather is pretty nice for its age, but the drivers seat shows the worst of it. Rest of it is nicer and in good shape for its age. Being here in the desert the last few yrs no worry about mold etc in the carpet. The SONY Deck CD player in there is almost new and as are some of the speakers. SUSPENSION: pretty much all stock but feels good for its age With no weird noises and rides well. Of course there are upgrades offered thru the Planet SVX site for these cars all over the place. BODY: overall the body is in nice rust free condition. Body gaps line up like factory and other then some door dings its in good shape for its age. The front bumper cover has some minor damage too. I didnt have a chance to polish out the headlight lenses before it got shipped back east.

Comedic Hasselhoff car ad leads to a dream job in Sweden
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Last month a guy in Florida posted a homemade ad for his 1996 Nissan Maxima online and Nissan bought it from him. This month a guy in Sweden posted a homemade ad for his 1985 Subaru Justy J10 Trendy online and got a job with Swedish car magazine Auto Motor und Sport. When Nils Jangan relocated to a new city and couldn't get a job, the financial drain eventually demanded he get rid of his car. Looking for a way to convince anyone to purchase a 29-year-old hatchback, he enlisted the help of Mordor, Saruman and, naturally, David Hasselhoff giving the thumbs up.
The picture was accompanied by text describing the "Japanese mountain goat" that was "hand-forged" by "the Saruman of carmakers," and its "54 frighteningly well-hung horses." One of its other advertised features was "I.D.N.R.I.S" seat belts, the "Instant Death No Retardation Impact System" meaning the occupants would never have to worry about long-term care if they were "in any collision at speeds higher than 12 km/hour." He asked 10,000 kroner (about $1,500 US) for the beauty, but he was also willing to trade for a job.
After posting the ad on Blocket, a Swedish craigslist, and having it shared throughout the community, Jangan got a ton of interest in the car and a job offer from Auto Motor und Sport, which he accepted. As for the Subie, it ended up going to a local repair shop for just a few hundred kroner, but we imagine Jangan's gets a decent work-related loaner or two to make up for it.
BTW: Subaru's SHARC won the 2012 Design Challenge
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Part of the festivities that encompass the LA Auto Show is the annual LA Design Challenge. This year's winner was the Subaru Highway Automated Response Concept, or SHARC. It envisioned automated, zero-emission highway patrolling.
The 2012 edition of the challenge was to envision the future of highway patrol in the year 2025. The goal was to conceptualize a vehicle that would account for the needs of "dynamic urban environments." In addition to Subaru's participation in the contest BMW, General Motors, Honda and Mercedes-Benz, all took part in the challenge.
The SHARC is essentially a law enforcement land-drone. It is entirely automated and runs on renewable energy. Subaru envisioned a future where the Hawaiian Islands are connected to each other by a large highway system. Such an expansive area would require considerable manpower to patrol. The concept of an autonomous patrol vehicle would eliminate the need for a good number of full-time personnel.
The art of WRX-ing in the rain
Tue, Jun 13 2017There it is again, the quiver of the STi's blue rear spoiler. I noticed it yesterday on the Autobahn north of Frankfurt. Although the speed limit was 120 kilometers per hour, I was cruising in sixth gear around 200 kph when the STi's signature rear appendage began to dance in my rear view mirror. Now I'm redlining fifth gear on the front straight of the legendary Nurburgring's north loop and it's back. Only this time the quivering blade is in a deluge of water coming off the Subaru's 18-inch Dunlops. It's a rooster tail worthy of Miss Budweiser and it's a constant and sobering reminder that I'm lapping the 13-mile long Nordschleife in a freezing and unrelenting rain. I'm driving a 2017 German-spec Subaru WRX STi, not the updated 2018 version that'll get revised front end styling, tweaked suspension tuning, larger Brembo brakes and 19-inch wheels and tires. At 240 kph, close to the 2.5-liter boxer four's 6,700 rpm redline, I shift up to sixth gear and change lanes to avoid the standing water on the left side of the track. It's my third lap. I'm getting over-confident. The all-wheel drive WRX STI is dealing well with the tricky conditions and the Ringmeisters of the past that tamed this track since it was first built in 1929 - Ascari, Fangio, Clark, Caracciola, Nuvolari, Rosemeyer, Chiron, and Ickx - are talking to me inside my head. And they're egging me on. Pushing me to go faster. I'm sticking to wet line and staying off the tall curbing that marks most apexes. Bounce the Subi off a curb and I'm sure to star in the next Nurburgring crash video to hit YouTube. I'm also desperately trying to stay off of the new pavement, which dots the circuit and has a coefficient of friction in the wet similar to snot. Then I make a huge mistake on the entrance to Bergwerk, a tight right hand corner that comes up quickly after a long, fast section and the left hand kink that Nicki Lauda got so wrong in the 1976 Grand Prix. The Nordschleife has 160 corners. Most are blind. Many are off camber. All are lined with walls and Armco barriers. Even the straights are kinked and crowned. And there are two very fast downhill compressions and three jumps that max out a car's suspension travel. There's no runoff room. No margin for error. And remembering the course in this weather in just a few laps is impossible, I don't care how much Gran Turismo you've played.
