[2003 wrx oil consumption]

If it isn't leaking it, it's burning it. The oil is going out the tailpipe. If you see blue smoke when you start it, it's for sure burning it. I bet if someone followed you they'd say it smells like a 2-stroke when you accelerate.

 

The turbo can leak oil into the exhaust or the intake. A failed PCV valve or clogged hoses can force oil into the intake. A cracked piston or worn rings will let it leak into the combustion chambers. Worn valve seals will let it leak into the intake/exhaust. There's lots of ways that oil gets burned, and most are expensive to fix.

 

i actually had a friend follow me and he saw no smoke and smelt nothing unusual from the car

[2003 wrx oil consumption]

no marking on the ground nothing the whole under side of the car is dry no oil residue

[2003 wrx oil consumption]

went to 15w40 rotella t changed spark plugs which looked great no buildup clean burn. im at a loss to where the oil is going

[2003 wrx oil consumption]

it blows blue in the morning for a few seconds but on the throttle, cruising and everything no smoke.

[2003 wrx oil consumption]

i dont know what this could be i bought a used wrx 2 weeks ago i have 650 miles of ownership and it uses 1 quart per 200-220 miles and i dont abuse it at all 2,500 - 4,500 shifts premium gas. i pulled the TMIC to see if im getting oil out the turbo but there was just a very light film in the TMIC. exhaust isnt spitting raw oil out and it runs and idles smooth with no missing im at a loss. i changed the oil when i got it for penzoil 10w30 just the basic oil could that be a issue? btw it has 111347 miles on it :-\

[Frankenmotor, whats the big deal?]

how do you tell if it is a 25d

[Meet the new ride]

she is on a roll

[Finally got what I wanted]

where did you get the spoilers i've been looking since i got my imp but i have yet to find any

[What to use?]

i have a 95 imp with a ej18 and i want to put a 2.2 short block with the 1.8 heads to keep EGR and dual port exhaust but what years of 2.2 will work with the 1.8 heads out of curiosity. (I did search but couldn't find any info)

 

Heres my work in progress it has,

- Ground control coil overs

- WRX wheels

- WRX front seats

- Tinted windows

- HID head lights

- Rally armor mud flaps

 

 

 

[Are these result for emissions normal]

it only gets around 23 around town and 28 on the highway i haven't replaced anything and everything looks original to the car (it only has 135k)

[Are these result for emissions normal]

should my emissions result be this low, could they be a sign of a problem? i ran my brothers Honda through the same lane a little later and his result were much higher and near the upper limit

 

[Lift going through front boots - Time for MWE?]

you haven't put the rear disc's on yet , and i don't think the struts on this wagon had adjusters if i remember right from when i owned it

[95 Impreza got a face lift]

5 for a nice thick coat make sure you sand the panels really good and clean it well

[95 Impreza got a face lift]

kind of ghetto but i used wheel paint because it is made to stick to metal and plastic and i have had good luck with it sticking to hub caps, aluminum and steel rims. so i thought worth a try, it still turned out really nice

 

[95 Impreza got a face lift]

i got tired of looking at the scuffed up bumper so i decided to do a outback paint job without the wheel arches painted and with pin stripping.

[Lifting a ea81]

wanna buy it 700 without engine and trans 73 squareback

[Finally joined the new gen with a 95 Imp]

Aren't you all proud of me i sold my Honda and bought a real car

 

 

It only has 132k on it with the EJ18 it's my first AWD soob to, the interior is minty fresh and the body is only a little dinged up with some key marks.

 

a few questions though how hard is it to do a wheel bearing on the driver front and are there any good after-market shifter bushings because the ones in it are shot or should i just go OEM on the bushings?

[Lifting a ea81]

camber isn't that bad i think i will shorten the extensions a little bit to make it perfect

 

[Wcss12]

is this the one you showed when i was over recently if so that thing is awesome

[Let's see your LIFTED Soob off roader 2010 edition.]

and i thought Eric was taking those super-lights to the grave with him

[Lifting a ea81]

thanks for the info Scott i'll connect the blocks

[Lifting a ea81]

so does anyone see an issue with this lift? all blocks are 4 inches and strut extensions are 4"

 

 

[Lifting a ea81]

BTW check out my strut extensions thanks to Jerry for the info and materials and my brother for machining them my lift is started

 

 

[Lifting a ea81]

just so i understand if i want to do a 4" lift i need to drop all points being moved 4 inches or am i wrong on that point
