meech189 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Well I finally got a Subaru! I have wanted one ever since i was 19 years old. So i was picked up a 97 Impreza outback sport for about 900 bucks. It has about 270k miles. I am expecting to do work on it but how much i don't know. I do plan on learning how to work on cars by working on this. I will share the journey i am about to embark on with the Impreza even though i dont know how i am going to mod it yet. I hope to interact with many of you guys and form friendships as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Nice! You just bought one of the most reliable platforms Subaru ever made. That EJ22 motor is a tank. Yours is an interference model so be sure the timing belt service has been done. If not a Gates kit can be found online cheap and it's a good 2-3 hour do it yourself project to get to know the motor a little. I had a 97 Impreza Outback that I lifted and used for romping on trails, fishing trips, road trips and light towing. Sold it with 276k. Kid that bought it drove it for a year, flipped it down a mountain, abandoned it and it came back to us since it was in our name. Still ran and drove just fine. I cleaned it up a bit and sold it to a local guy who's using it for off road fun. Looks like yours is in great shape. Welcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meech189 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks. Yea one of my friends told me to be sure to check the timing belt!. I will look into that gates kit. I plan on having this bad boy for a long time and eventually add a second subaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
