Since my last update I've cleaned the maf and done the whole sea foam thing, the pcv valve would not suck the sea foam through so i ended up pouring some in while the car was off into the valve opening, got a lot of smoke initially but alost none after the whole 5 minute wait then drive around portion of the procedure. any info would be rad, thanks in advance.

It doesnt lag all the time, usually if i stomp the gas at a stop it will lag but not quite as bad. i've found that letting it roll forward a few feet befor hitting the pedal usually helps the lag or completely eliminates it. the lag didnt start immediately after i replaced the filter, it took a month or so befor it started lagging

Howdy I bought my first (working) subie last december and its been a blast, since i got it i've replaced the stock air filters with k&n air filters. recently it has started to lag a little when i am starting, it acts like i am not giving enough gas when i let off the clutch, but its an automatic. anyone know what might be causing this? I have also been thinking a bit about lifting it, anoyone know where i can get a lift kit for my new roo? any advice would be much appreciated, thanks! heres a pic
