Whats the foam insulation in the upper corners of the engine bay for?

If you get them make sure you have a professional paint them and not run around with them installed in the stock form they came in, that would be rice.

I nominate Turbone to go and rescue this RX.

It really does sound like Satan revving a harley.

Air filter is good I checked it yesterday when I had the MAF out. The plugs and wires are my next step, gonna purchase those probably the next pay check. Lord knows how many miles it has been since they were replaced, I drove it about a year ago and has been sitting pretty much since then. Was going to check for vacuum leaks today but it rained all day so I will try and check them tomorrow. Thanks, Kyle

Sure does, its located in the exact same spot as well.

Guess thats what I was doing wrong, I was taking it off and cleaning it with the motor not running. I will attempt that when the rain tapers off today or the weekend. Ive cleaned it twice already it seemed to help it a little bit but not too much.

Thanks guys, this was my first attempt at pulling codes off this old of a vehicle; am use to being able to hook my OBDII reader up and get them that way. The car will run fine for a few minutes then its like its being flooded, as my exhaust has a real strong gasoline smell, and my RPM's will drop. Also,when I get on it, it seems to shift too early. Any other ideas? Extra: My legacy is doing exactly how its described here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19334&highlight=Purge+control+solenoid

The check engine light has been on since the mid '90's. I just now figured out how to pull the codes and I believe it turned up a code 45. Here is the video of the flashing. I didnt understand the description of the code at all, anyone else had it? Also I have been having trouble with the car running. I took of the IAC valve and cleaned the snot out of it with throttle body cleaner recommended by 86BRATMAN. I started it up after doing that and it still ran like crap after a few seconds. Next, I cleaned the tar out of the MAF. Here is the pics of what it looked like after cleaning: Is that what a normal MAF is suppose to look like inside? Here is the video of the end result: Does this seem like a normal running EJ22 to the rest of you all? Thanks for the help in trying to diagnose this irritating issue. Kyle.

I wonder what one of them sounds like.....

I had to do a double-take on the BRAT tailgate; I thought it was a reflection of the sunset, then I realized it was painted on.

Here is the pic I mentioned:

Very nice, the waterfall scene is my favorite.

A simple search turned up this:

Whats wrong with a front mount?

Im familiar with that brand, they make toyota transmissions if I am correct. INA, the bearing company I work for sends them bearings all the time. http://www.aisindrive.com/

I wasn't in the holiday spirit until I seen Chef_Tim's Santa outfit and his red WRX. "Merry Christmas, you filthy animal".

All I have to say is right on man. So did it start up first try?

PM's sent, anyone else?

Went to a junkyard that is about 10 minutes from my apartment the other day. I found about 3 XT's 1 XT6, 1 84 GL-10 2WD coupe (I snagged the honeycomb grill for the brat) 91 Loyale sedan, SVX with all the windows beat out, 91 Legacy wagon 2WD, about an 03 Outback. I can get the number if anyone is interested

Wouldn't waste the time or money to turbo a N/A EA82. Your best bet would be to go with a non-turbo EJ22.

They have a sand blasting facility where the fiance works, been trying to talk them into letting me sand blast my other set of wheels there. Looks real good.

The stock STi exhaust is about 6 inches too short for a N/A EJ22. No biggie, just gonna work something out next time I get a chance. Here is what my N/A Legacy sounds like without the midpipe. Enjoy.

Wish I could just spend one day inside tinkering with a subaru motor. I have a pic on my old computer from where someone was doing timing belts on an EA82 and the previous owner wrote on the inside cover:"Poor Sucker".

I have one about an 03 blue WRX with the BBS rally wheels all the time. Jess had one a few weeks ago that we went and bought a turbo BRAT.
