Yeah, your a real winner.

I seen your post on facebook this morning before leaving the house for work. I was very surprised to see that you picked another Subaru up. This man buys a Subaru every few weeks. He just bought a EA82 touring wagon the other day. Jordan, I can't wait to see pics.

You sure you got a clean connection at the battery, no corrosion? Getting lights on in dash when in the "on" position?

Throw you an un-equal length header on there instead.

UEL header is the way to go for boxer rumble.

I would like to see some behind the seat pics of the black car. (I don't know if I need to call it an EA82 BRAT or a wagon.)

It took me a long time to learn this with a Brat that I use to own. I wish I would never have done it.

What did your replacement motor come out of?

If you had a shop do the work, I would take it back to them.

Thanks to MikeShoup. http://mshoup.us/docs/fsm/EA81/83/ Page 70 in the engine section.

Did you clear the code and see if it came back?

It does sound normal to me. I suggest making sure you have roll pins on the tranny side and that your axle nuts are tight on the wheel side.

A recall should have been done on your car where this was added to the cooling system.

I don't see why it wouldnt.

The 2002-2007 WRX unit is one whole unit that fits in the double DIN spot.

The reason I did not share my price is because I am good friends with the owner there and he gave me the hookup, my experience would have varied to his. If you must know, he did it all for $800, no flywheel. that includes parts, and labor. The local Subaru dealer quoted me $1200.

Do: buy your intake gaskets from the dealer. Don't: buy them from an auto parts store.

How about posting in the wanted to buy section instead of the general subaru chat forums?

It does sound like you are needing a clutch to me. You don't have to shop the Subaru parts department to get a OEM spec clutch. They are all Exedy clutches and you can get the OEM equivalent for alot less than buying from the dealer. I just had the clutch done in my 2.5RS and I chose to go with an independent Subaru mechanic and was very happy.

Interesting. Can you get some pictures of your engine bay from all sides?

I strongly suggest upgrading to a dual-core radiator for your car. If you are going to go the flushing route. Frank B suggested to me that I buy a garden hose replacement fitting, they are both 5/8. I took his advice and it did wonders for all the stuff that was flushed out. Here is what you will need to get:

That's a good looking wagon.

Take your alternator off and you'll see what he is talking about.

My condolences.

Jordan, send me some pics of this thing when you get it. Thats a sweet deal, enjoy that automatic.
