Yeah give it a test. I've seen some crazy things caused by a bad alternator before.

Have your alternator checked at the auto parts store for starts.

Is your alternator in good shape? What about the battery?

Since you are going through a lot of hazardous conditions. I would recommend putting the factory intake box back on. That is your very best bet. If that is outside of the question. Subaru's SPT has a short ram intake system for your car. It can be ordered at the dealer parts counter and they may just have one in stock. http://www.driveperformancesubaru.com/version3_1/upgrades.asp

I drove one back in July. I really liked it and I'm a manual transmission person! Go drive one, you might just enjoy it.

You could find you the front clip from a 99-01 2.5RS and swap all that over.

CEL = Check Engine Light. If you do, take it to an auto parts store such as Auto Zone and have them pull the code for you, write it down, then post it here.

Pros: Subaru made it. Cons: Head gaskets, loves to overheat, not worth the trouble, little performance potential.

I tried several years ago to put an STi catback on a 91 Legacy. Its not a bolt up job. If you are wanting it that bad, spend about $60 and take it and the car to a muffler shop.

Boy is that hot.

The 2.5 is still available in the Legacy and its not a V6, its a horizontal 6. http://www.subaru.com/vehicles/legacy/index.html

Thats amusing. When I was car shopping last year and comparing insurance rates for an 02-04 WRX wagon and my 2.5RS coupe, the difference with my insurance company was $20/6 months. Of course Im married, own a home and live right smack dab in the middle of the bible belt and all the cars on the road here are Chevy S-10s.

I assume you are also asking about the bolt pattern. The pattern on your wagon is 5x100. The wheels that will not fit are SVX wheels and 05+ STi.

I assume you are talking about the clock that is one the dash. Are you sure someone did not yank the clock out to put a gauge pack in there and just forgot maybe to hook the clock up when they sold it?

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with GD. Tell them your car is an 84 so you can finally start running vented rotors.

Those things look like a V6 STi grill.

How many times did you pump the pedal, did you see fluid come out the bleeder screw?

I LOL'd. Cool hoist by the way.

I would start here. Make sure that after filling the gas that you turn the cap till you hear the clicks.

Not a bad deal. Sucks that it is a DL and is missing the Dual-Range and t-tops. Thing looks to be in great shape though. Congrats.

Got any pictures of this RS?

Greetings from Crossville. (To your East) There is an independent Subaru shop in Clinton, TN if you are interested.

Sorry, thats usually where I go for very specific RS questions. Let us know what you find out.
