  1. You'd have to have a good person inspect the heads to see if you can get away with just the short block. I KNOW you can use the EJ from 06- 09. Not sure how much of later years you can use. O.
  2. You can check cars101.com for width etc. Outback struts would raise your center of gravity and advsersely affect how hard you could corner. Repalcing your worn suspension bushings would help get the ride quality back. Lowering on H&R or similar springs with new struts would help. Adjustable coilovers would let you tailor the ride height. 17" rims and tires would help to close the gap and in that case, 225/45 is the widest tire you can use w/o rubbing or rolling on legacy struts. see http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp Hope this helps. O.
  3. http://opposedforces.com/parts/impreza/us_g10/type_77/body/front_door_panel/illustration_1/ According to above usage info, 96-99 are the same. O.
  4. They make a special kit to redo plugs. Go to your local auto store. IIRC the kit is $20-25. All you will need is a heavy grease to hold the cuttings (explained in kit) O.
  5. See attachments. Go to 2nd page of New Gen FAQ under my name, link for FSM. Coolant temp sensors are not that expensive and in this case I would even grab one from a pick and pull A scanner with live mode would read temps O .Diagnostics Radiator Main Fan.pdf Diagnostics Radiator Sub Fan (With AC model only).pdf
  6. Any 16" Suby wheel will work. The offset is either 52 or 55.. O.
  7. Wite-Out works well also. Belt direction doesn't matter, just the tooth count marks. O.
  8. ^+1 The only caveat is rotating the lower cams. The top cams rotate clockwise, but you have to rotate the lower cams counter cw to line the marks up. O.
  9. of the six Suby's I've been around with 188-239k miles I've only had one pump go on me. 98 IOB with a little over 200k. Would leak out of the weep hole and got progressively worse. I changed it before it failed completely. O.
  10. If you don't have the thickness needed, advise. I probably have the one you need. I can send it. No cost. O.
  11. Home Depot and Lowes have it. I prefer Lowes Kobalt brand. Better warranty. O.
  12. Look up the fsm in the New Gen FAQ sticky. 2nd page under my name. In the ignition section there is a test for the coil etc. In the future you need to give info on your car. Year engine etc. O.
  13. a search would help. There is a special Cometic HG that is designed for this application. All depends on sohc or dohc 2.5 and the compression ratio you'll end up with and the goal desired. O.
  14. Thanks for the reply. After more research on opposed forces, it seems that the DS exhaust is once piece from the manifold to and through the cat at the y. The cat fitting is either swaged or welded under the shield. ala the front cat on the BL series. So it seems I'll have to remove the DS manifold and the bolts that joins the left and right exhaust sections.to get this replaced. I just thought I was missing something that I knew you would know of. Thanks again. O.
  15. Trying to help a friend replace his rusted exhaust. The cat at the Y has a busted seam where the flange used to be which now has a 3 ft section of straight pipe with u bolts. I have someone who I can get the cat from. (The 3rd cat at the Y). I see that it only has one flange from the PS, while the DS seems to be a push fit. How is it secured, or would it be better to just get the whole exhaust from the manifolds back. TIA. O.
  16. 10 years or 100K miles. Whichever comes first. This means all the idlers also. O.
  17. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/diy-rear-drum-disc-conversion-143569.html?t=143569&highlight=Front+axle+replace See above link. O.
