It's not easy living with an addiction.

Dude you got a good upgrade from the RS. Throw you a turbo back exhaust on there and get a tune and you'll be set. Can't wait to see pictures.

We need to see more pictures.

These things really are turds, that three speed automatic doesn't help things either. I think that EA82 engine is only rated at 84 horsepower if you have a carb'd model.

You will need to swap bumpers and change fender liners. I had to re-read that a couple times. Most people with a wagon go to sedan fenders as they are the more aggressive ones.

Get you a couple timing belts, and tensioners for starts. Also, sounds like you are needing an oil pump and reseal. It wouldn't take much to get this thing back on the road but after all, it is a 22 year old car.

Have you checked your wheel bearings as well? Jack the car up, and grab the top and bottom of the tire and see if there is any up and down movement.

This my thread from when I had to replace the intake gaskets on my BRAT. Take a look, it is why you should stick to Subaru intake gaskets. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=81092

I too, would pass on the DL. Just spend the same amount and get one that already has the 4WD installed.

White BRAT "should" have the navy blue interior. Also, those aren't factory seats. Got any idea what they came out of?

Anyone got an idea on what it would run to get it repainted?

Least we know we are all in the same damn boat.

Hella supertones too, looking good Rob. What wheels you got going on there?

Nice snag! Might want to determine why the motor was removed in the first place. I had a gem top exactly like that on my 83 BRAT and I loved that thing. Did not leak and drop and gave me a place to sleep the night of my bachelor party. Worst sleep ever...

This is mine last week before getting windows tinted, it was raining hard then too. Figured I would give your RS a good send off.

What kind of shape was your hood scoop in? Mine is losing chunks of clear coat every day.

I hope you got some parting pictures of your RS. Luckily there is a huge market for the 98-01 2.5RS.

What was the excuse she gave you for hitting you?

Mine used to do something similar to that. But when I would get going it would get to about 30-35 psi. At a red light it would drop to really low but as soon as I started going again the pressure would pick back up, the owner manual said this was normal. I suggest keeping an eye on your oil level has some have had issues with the oil gauge reading incorrectly.

I cleaned a set up on my 91 Legacy early part of last year. Autozone sells a kit that comes with an adapter bit that fits into your drill and comes with 6 abrasive pads with the rubbing agent built in. What one does is spray it with a mist of water and use the drill moving in an all-over fashion. Before: During: After:

Check your fuses.

I would start by going to the dealership and buying some plugs and wires and changing those out.

I have seen a number of things caused by a bad battery or alternator. Did you check the terminals on your battery to make sure they are not corroded over? That would be my first place to start. Try and find a date of manufacture on the battery, it would be better to replace it at home than sitting in a parking lot. While you are at it. Take your car to an auto parts store and have them check your charging system while the car is under load (lights on, inside blower, etc.)
