2004 Forester XT 5 speed manual 161,xxx miles **$10,000 B/O NO TRADES** The FXT is a great sleeper as it is boxy as hell, sits higher than the wrx, but, weights around the same as the WRX wagon. Not only that, it has the best transmission ratio for these cars making it run high 13’s stock! (4.444 final drive ratio). They offer a lot of space in the trunk due it being taller, and the car also has heated seats standard. Replaced with STi long block (B25 heads) Aug 2012 When this was replaced under aftermarket warranty, they also replaced the timing belt and related parts, as well as the clutch and flywheel (have receipts). During my tenure, I have put a ton of money and parts into her. I purchased new parts through Subaru and all these items were replaced within the past 1k miles. Only selling because I needed something more family oriented (already purchased). Engine Related (performance) VF39 (low miles, no shaft play – purchased from Wicked Innovations) Perrin downpipe STi uppipe STi intercooler STi catback Group N mounts- Engine, Transmission and Pitchmount (all brand new) Grimmspeed 3” – 2.5” adapter Samco intercooler hose kit Perrin silicon turbo inlet tube Grimmspeed EBCS Parallel Fuel line conversion using proper high pressure fuel line TGV delete EVAP delete Engine / Drivetrain Related (maintenance) New front axles (both) NGK Spark plugs New Denso front o2 sensor New PCV assembly New Fuel Filter New belts and idler pulley + hardware All new coolant hoses (every hose: radiator, heater, hoses from waterpump, turbo, etc, all from Subaru) New fuel line (this is $5/ft and I replaced what was in the engine bay) New vacuum line New brake booster line Valve cover gaskets replaced New AVCS hard line and braided turbo oil line New turbo coolant, oil drain line and related gaskets German Castrol 0w30 just replaced Transmission fluid replaced Coolant (genuine Subaru) replaced Suspension Related (All new Subaru parts unless noted) STi Front lower control arms Whiteline ALK bushing Front Knuckles replaced from a FXT with 30k miles and from CA (all parts were done on both sides) New wheel bearings New inner and outer wheel seals Lower balljoints Outer tie rod ends Sway bar endlinks Centric Premium front brake rotors Stoptech front brake pads Flushed brake fluid Flushed clutch fluid Misc replacement HVAC was changed to the newer 05+ style. Looks so much cleaner Replaced all the bulbs in the gauge cluster and switches (most burnt out when I got it). I know there are more parts that I replaced in this car. I’m looking just to get back most of what I have put into it. I will be losing money as it currently is priced. **I started the car tonight (5/21/13) and I still need to put the finishing touches on her before she can be totally sold.** **I will be rebleeding the brakes, getting her an alignment and a state inspection. The car will have a low boost, very conservative base map. You can have your own tuner do whatever you want to the car** As with any car with 160k miles, this one too has some scratches a couple of dings and an indentation on the passenger fender.
