Congrats man. Why exactly did it take so long?

This. I'm sure you knew it required premium when you bought it.

Well, It is a six years old after all and you do live in the rust belt. Write your state legislature and ask them to quit using salt on the roads.

Lets see some pictures of this thing.

Would you rather it still be GM owning part of Subaru?

Here ya go: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=turbo+on+a+naturally+aspirated+car Just go ahead and sell one of us your GL and buy a first gen Legacy.

Too late to use this stuff?

Well it was some good laughs while it lasted.

Wonder if he got any phone calls.

I just hope and pray that Subaru never starts producing cars in China for the American market.

Boy, I got a laugh out of that ad. Here ya go: http://bellingham.craigslist.org/pts/1439849535.html

This is what you are looking for. Remove the two bolts and check your belt.

Any way you can get some pictures of said yard?

The headgasket issues was why I wanted to stick to the Impreza OBS. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the 96 Legacy Outback the coveted one because it has the EJ22 in it and not the EJ25?

I should have adequate clearance underneath?

Wife and I are wanting another vehicle to use to haul trash off, take camping, or other miscellaneous items. My 2.5RS coupe is not a practical vehicle for hauling large items. She has an 04 Accord that can haul some larger items than my RS. The years I would like to stick to are 97-01. She cannot drive manual and I will not let her learn on my RS. She wouldn't mind learning so we are both cool with an auto or a 5 speed. I realize that the phase 2 EJ22 is in these things. Mileage is not an object either as long as it is in good mechanical upkeep and not rusted out. Color preference would be for the Blue ridge pearl two tone or the acadia green two-tone. Main question is: What is USMB's dealings/experiences with this model of OBS?

Will one of them be sufficient or will I need to use two to space my o2 sensor back?

Thanks man. Looking like I will give this a try before I order some high dollar sensor.

Bump. Code cleared on Saturday, back today.

Wow, very nice.

Cool link, thanks. Might just end up doing that. I guess I will put it on the 02 sensor after the cat, correct?

Well I have a hand-held auto scanner that I bought in 2005 to clear codes on my old 97 Tacoma. I cannot seem to get it to read codes on my Impreza, it just errors out. I hate letting them guys at the auto parts store touch this thing. Luckily last time I was there, I just asked the guy to delete the code, he told me he didn't know how and just handed it to me. Guess I am going to give my mechanic a call tomorrow.

Well that is some good news. There was a big recall back in the day where Subaru was replacing a ton of front oxygen sensors under the WXW80 campaign. Found this on Nasioc archives: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-470959.html

Connie, good to hear from you. When people run unequal length headers on these things, they put a spacer on the rear 02 sensor to get it out of the stream so it fools the ECU into thinking its running within tolerance. I get about 27-28 mpg with a mixture of both city, and interstate driving. The higher octane seemed to clear it up the other day. I have put about 1500-2000 miles on it since then. Don't know if it matters or not. The weather here has changed quite a bit lately, some days it sunny, other days really cool and drizzle. Another thing while I was thinking of it. The entire exhaust portion was off the car in July when I had a clutch put in. It just seems improbable that it all of a sudden decided to act up.
