1992 Subaru Svx Ls Coupe 2-door 3.3l Eg33 Awd Runs & Drives - Nj Inspected. on 2040-cars
Year:1992
Mileage:245680
Color:
Location:
Manville, New Jersey, United States
I purchased this 1992 Subaru SVX for myself as a secondary driver/project car and shortly after taking it home, found out I am moving to California. Unfortunately, this meant that I couldn't take multiple cars with me so now I'm offering this SVX for bidding. I've included a significant amount of pictures to try and document the vehicle to the best of my ability, but please understand that this is a 21-year old car with high mileage and that it will require some work in the near future. Chances are that you may be familiar with the SVX if you are looking at this auction, so I'll save you the long drawn out explanation of why these cars are so special, and instead provide you with this link:http://www.svx-iw.com/ and http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/ In the past, when listing my personal cars on eBay, I've gone into logn diatribes about how much I'm going to miss this car and 'blah blah blah', but this time, I'm really regretful that I'll have to sell this SVX. This Liquid Silver 1992 model is my thirteenth SVX, and since riding in a SVX for the first time ten years ago, my interest in these cars has grown tremendously. It pains me to give up a car because I could not dedicate the time and resources to ship, care for and restore this car, much like I did with my last SVX over a period of six years. Enough sappy stuff though, and onto the important info!
Running Condition:This SVX just passed NJ inspection last week. Now, don't go getting all exciting thinking that this car is fit for your grueling reverse commute of 50 miles, or a cross country fall colors tour! A sub-$1000 car will need its fair share of attention. NJ inspects for emissions along, because things like sketchy tires and an Airbag warning light just don't seem to be all that important to folks here in the Garden State. NJ passed this SVX for emissions despite the loudness of the exhaust that can best be described as 'mild drone'. I imagine that the exhaust should be one of the items addressed by the new owner, as a quick visual inspection pointed me to some areas of rust and concern around the front and mid pipe junctions. Don't be deterred, though. This SVX does start right up, and still gets up and goes on the highway like it should. I registered the car and put a couple hundred miles on it to diagnose and get an idea of what I'd have to put into it. The H-6 sounds good; no knocks or taps that I've experienced. The car does idle a bit high once in awhile, and the Check Engine light is intermittently on and off, which is likely related. The airbag warning light is on, and I have not checked into this further. The car shifts properly, and there are no signs of binding or other common SVX transmission issues, which leads me to suspect that the unit has been rebuilt or replaced at some point. The suspension doesn't have any major knocks or clunks, but the struts are worn so the ride is a bit mushy. The brakes work well, and the ABS is functioning. No warping or squeaks that I noticed. The previous owner mentioned replacing the radiator, timing belt, battery, and alternator recently. Its evident that at least three of those have been addressed, so I assume that the timing belt has been done at some point in the past year. The car had been sitting for at least a few months prior to my ownership, so expect to go over it before putting it in regular service. Drive it away if you want, but expect the car to need some issues addressed before counting on its reliability.
Exterior Condition:The paint on this SVX would benefit from a good compounding and wax, but I'd say the exterior is in Average to Good condition, especially considering the age and mileage of this car. The Liquid Silver/Black paint scheme looks good overall. There are two rust spots forming on the car, behind each of the rear wheels. The alloy wheels are chipping, but there are spare wheels included if you'd like to swap them out. The General Altimax Winter/Snow tires are in fair condition and should be replaced soon. All of the glass on this car is in good shape and free of cracks or damage.
Interior Condition:There are no signs that this SVX was smoked in as the interior smells ok, and the carpets, seats and headliner are in good shape. There are two sets of mats in the car and the carpet looks good. Dash instruments are working and the factory AM FM tape player functions properly. Power options are all working correctly including, lights washers, defrosters, windows, cruise, etc. The driver seat is a bit worn and torn on the bolster from a previous owner getting in and out of the car. The driver sun visor is broken off and not present, but the passenger one looks fine and isn't really sagging. Please take the time to look at all of the photos of the car.
Included with the car are some spare wheels, an updated grille from a 1997 model, and the factory cup holder insert!
One more shot of that awesome EG33 engine!
*** This car must be paid for and preferably picked up before November 2nd. I will be moving out of the area but the car may be able to be picked up until the 8th. Please understand that I cannot negotiate on those terms. The car must be paid for in full prior to November 2nd, and the car must be moved by the 8th. *** I reserve the right to end the auction if the vehicle sells locally. The reserve price is extremely low. |

Subaru BRZ with 362-hp, 2.4-liter V8 is the best thing you'll hear today
Wed, Feb 11 2015Whenever the Subaru BRZ and its Toyota twin are talked about, the conversation inevitably turns to whether they would be even better sports coupes with more power. Since their introduction, rumors have popped up suggesting possibilities like more displacement, turbocharging or even a hybrid setup to increase horsepower, but nothing has come to pass. Japanese tuner Jun Auto has decided on a completely different way to boost performance by chucking the 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder entirely in place of a beautiful 2.4-liter V8. According to the YouTube description for this clip, the engine is based on two of the 1.2-liter inline four-cylinder units from a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R motorcycle. The result is a mill that makes a claimed 362 horsepower and revs to over 11,000 rpm. It also sounds like automotive nirvana. Finished in an eye-catching contrast of bright yellow paint with white wheels and a black wing at the back, the V8 BRZ certainly doesn't hide its performance, either. This video's text is in Japanese, but knowledge of the language isn't necessary to understand what's going on.
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
A closer look at the 2015 Subaru WRX
Tue, 26 Nov 2013For enthusiasts, the debut of the 2015 Subaru WRX was arguably one of the more important happenings at last week's LA Auto Show. After all, the 'Rex has been one of our perennial favorite all-weather sports cars, able to offer big thrills in any clime thanks to its turbocharged engine, manual gearbox and top-notch all-wheel-drive system.
For 2015, some big changes have been made to our favorite Subie, including the removal of the hatchback body style and availability of a continuously variable transmission. Of course, there's also the new, 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, not to mention the completely revised styling.
Lots of talking points, for sure, so West Coast Editor Michael Harley chatted with Dominick Infante, national manager of product communications for Subaru USA, who promises us that this car will be the "best-handling WRX ever." As for that CVT, Infante assures us that it was "designed for a sports car" and that the company aims to change the minds of people (like us, admittedly) who have a hard time warming up to the idea of this transmission in a package like the WRX.
