No, not yet but have faith. I'l have one soon enough, espically since my driver right now is sold. I sold it to my buddy so he understands my situation.

could be a cracked distributor cap....this would let in moisture, and the crack may be very small

IMO I wouldn't get a 2.5, I am going back to college and wouldn't be able to afford the repairs. From what I have read the 5 spds are better than autos, and 2.2s are better than 2.5s....another thing to keep in mind is that the 2.2 became a interference engine in '97

I'll prolly be in for a lift kit for an EJ

Thanks, I read somewhere (which i cant find right now) that in 97+ the engines are interference. Is this true? Why are 96- non interference. I'd rather stick with the non interferance incase a timing belt decides he doesn't like me.

Hey everyone. I dont own a Subaru but I'm going to start my quest for a 96 legacy outback wagon. I guess that would be a obw. I just started my research today on subarus, so I dont have all the lingo down. I have decent knowledge in cars though. I want an awd wagon. I was think about an a4 wagon, but they are junk. Through my research I found that a 96 obw has higher ground clearance over a 95, and with a 2.2 its very reliable (which I need since I am going back to school, and once again I will be a poor college student). So I am really looking forward to getting one. I am hopefully going to school in Boulder within the next 2 years, so it will be great to have when I move. The winter can get pretty bad here in central new york also, so I will definately have use for it here. I started mountain biking so (+1 obw), and will hopefully get back into skiing this winter (+1 obw). Where can I find accessories for a 96 obw ie, skid plate, diff cover, suspension, bumper guard - I saw a pic of a obw with a bumper guard, not sure who had it though. Cheers
