I assume you are asking about an Outback Sport (Impreza based) I think it would but you would have to have the matching headlights and grille as I think they changed design of them in 97?

Well was just looking at transporting a small 80lb boxed chest freezer about 1 mile at 35ish mph so sailboat shouldnt be a prob.

I dont have any idea where to hunt elk lol... I dont really drive nice, I like to drive it like a rally car, probably not best for extending that lifespan huh

The SVX is a relatively rare and unique car. I would almost buy one up as an investment. Replace the trans, and garage the thing for another 20 years, is there any reason these cars wont go up in value and become collectible as they fall off the roads due to trans issues?

I really doubt that the efficiency savings is noticeable. I personally would just stick with regular R134a refrigerant since that is what your system is designed for.

possibly plug wires damaged and arcing intermittently?

thanks!

How much weight can you place on the roof rack of the impreza outback sport first gen?

I hit a curb/median dead on at 45mph in my 92 legacy when I fell asleep at the wheel (trying to work full time and do newspaper delivery is tough). went up and over the median, hit the back wheel, and over. Ripped the front tire, snapped the front alloy, bent the control arm and strut, broke sway bar mounts, dented the exhaust, dented/scraped the underside of the unibody and bent the rear alloy. It even hit so hard that the paint at the top of the strut tower flaked a little from the impact. After replacing the strut and control arm and throwing my spare wheels on it, I was back on the road with about $80 in junkyard parts, and the alignment was able to be set accurately still

Yes I am pretty much taking the risk of leaving it this way for now. It isnt really the money, I just dont have time to set aside right now for me and my limited tools to eat up to do this job. Yes I am and have been taking a risk. The wear appears to be pretty consistent across the belt, doesnt look like there is an obvious weak spot (my last belt started fraying on one side before its demise). I definitely want to get this done before winter though, dont want to be messing with this with cold fingers

Still havent replaced this yet... guess I am going to get to see how far it will go...

no clunk, thats way to heavy of a sound as opposed to what is happening, kind of hard to explain other than it just feels like something inside the dash is loose. doesnt feel like it goes all the way out to the wheels

I could see that. I just wish they had let the glass extend out to the little sheet metal hump at the rear, I am always trying to fit stuff back there and am always thwarted by that extra few inches the glass sits inward from the rest of the hatch.

Of course there is the Impreza, which has a completely different feel to it. Think small rally car. Steering and suspension is more crisp and sporty as opposed to the more luxury tuned legacy. That and of course the cargo area is much smaller in an Impreza wagon vs a Legacy wagon. The Impreza is more like a 5 door hatchback than a wagon IMO

it doesnt feel like it is that far down towards the wheels, almost feels like it is in the steering shaft.

95 Imoreza AWD 171k miles.. When I bought the car the brake rotors were so warped the side to side shaking would cause this weird loose feeling, like two parts were smacking each other somewhere in the steering. fixed brakes but noticed I get same feeling going over railroad tracks at an angle. normal driving I feel nothing. very spirited driving feels fine. I can go over speed bumps and not feel it. I am not sure what to check or if this is even really a major problem.

WTF is this crap? I would advise that nobody click on any of these links

Instead of pulling it back up, can you find at the bottom where the hose feeds up through the pillar, and push it up with a coathanger etc.

I say check under the boot on the left side top of the hatch, I agree the wires are probably broken, mine were on both of my imprezas, and this is way easier than swapping relays and pulling out mulitmeters etc.,

the 3.0 is generally thought of as a pretty durable engine, plus you get more power than the 2.5 Price seems kind of high for one with 160k miles but I know Indiana is not a hot spot for subarus so your selection is probably minimal.

Flooded in freshwater or saltwater? You may have corrosion and electrical problems regardless...

Do you know what a reasonable price is for this from a dealer? are we talking $15 or so?

any opinions?

since it stopped idling when you were messing with the IAC I would start by replacing the IAC with one from a junkyard.

Since I bought my car I have noticed that the key doesnt seem to engage smoothly, as in I usually have to wiggle it to unlock the doors and trunk and occasionally to start the car. It is the original key and I have only that key, no others. I assume wear on the key its self is causing this not worn or dirty locks. Can I get a new key ordered/made by taking it to a dealer so they can pull vin code or something, or is calling a locksmith a better idea?
