I bought my RS with a bad front end vibration when braking that would shake the whole dash. I just passed it off as warped rotors and been saving up for new ones. I installed the new pads and rotors Saturday. The after-installation drive I noticed a slight difference in stopping distance but the violent shaking has yet to go away. What else could this be? -Kyle

Good looking car man, can't get enough pictures. I am going to be the first to give you the head gasket warning and urge you to purchase an aftermarket temperature gauge. You also landed something special with those wheels.

Here is you a good read: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131755

I wasn't aware of this issue on the outbacks, but on the 02 WRX's there is a bad problem with fuel smell as well. Why I understood it, the problem lies in the fuel lines that they tend to have slight cracks and cause the smell. Of course this may not apply to you.

Looks good man, can't get enough engine swap pictures.

RS took a coupe turns to start this morning but finally did. I am thinking battery might not last another winter. We haven't seen temperatures like this since '03 so it has been a shock for everyone. I took a screen-shot for such occasion:

I wish my 2000 RS had those, especially this time of year.

Yeah just tell them its an 84.

Thought you were running the stock SVX tranny. Would love to see some videos when you get that thing going.

Doesn't look too bad. I love the "yeah it's fast sticker". Would love to see some more pictures and interior shots.

Which one will go first? 1. Transmission 2. Engine

Rice?

Cool! Just hope nothing breaks.

From that angle it has a Toyota AE86 look to it.

Good job. Keep them cars on the road.

Smart man. It took me two broke autozone cables to learn this.

Good job Mick. It was one of them things that every time I looked at it, I learned something new.

I assume the BRAT in question is the 87. I personally would tell them that it is for an '84. That way you don't risk getting the cable for an EA82. Seriously though, best thing to do is go to a Subaru dealer for the cable. I got mine for about $20 and the quality difference will blow you through the roof.

Your the opposite of what I did a few months ago. I went from this 83 BRAT To this 2000 BRP 2.5RS: Welcome to this board. You will never find a larger resource dedicated to the older side of Subarus either. Would also love to see some pictures of your RS if you still have them.

First thing you need to do is get some cool pictures of it on here. We love BRAT pictures.

Your braver than me Jordan. I wouldn't be down there in my RS bombing around in that. I can't wait to see some pictures of that Impreza coupe doing something like that.

How about getting a socket and tightening the bolts that hold the wiper arms on for starts?

I vote no as well on the SVX. I would tell him to buy a first gen, AWD, 5-speed Impreza coupe. I personally, would be a lot happier with one of them than an auto SVX.

Ashes to ashes man...
