Yea I would re-check the Cam timing/timing belts, since you could be a tooth off. Also possibly run some Seafoam thru the air intake, whichever way you want, Down the carb, Thru the brake booster, thru a PCV hose, your choice. I ran 1/2 can Seafoam thru the booster and let the engine stall on it and then let it sit for 15-20min then re-fire it (It will blow alot of white smoke, due to the Seafoam being in the air system, but will all blow out in a few min of run time) And then see if this fixes your issue, if not - its still a good idea to clean out any carbon build up in the engine. -Tom

Steve, Lol that is very true. I know you listened to everything that was said at these meets, I was just stating that you were already inforumed about such things. Plus I should have said the year of outback, but everytime I think of Outbacks I think of the 1st gen (96-99) Sorry I didn't make it clear on which moldel struts. Anyway, let me do some checking around at online stores and see if I can find some some 1st gen OB springs for ya. -Tom

Very good, I agree on getting all types of opinions (Best way to gain knowledge) Good luck Steve.

Gloyale, thats exactly what I said to him in person.. Steve, I would run the complete Outback strut as its longer with a custom longer tighter spring, to take up any slack. I said that about 4 times Lol.. Cheers, -Tom

Wow thats pretty nifty! I didn't get that lucky, but i did have the original "Maintance care book" Had the first owners name and where the car was first bought "Lake Geneva, WI" Not to far from me. -Tom

Ok, can you explain this a bit more? Do you keep the stock sealed headlights and do what to them? The bulbs are still 9004, yeah? Looking for some more info on this, and yes - I dug up a 3 year old thread. :-p -Tom

Got new Beck/Arnley Pads/shoes today to go with the new Genuine Rotors! Now all I need is warm temps and I'm good ot go! -Tom

Because then people wouldn't know their driving a GM :-p

Yea that helps for what its worth. I dunno if the switch is crapping out or if it is a connection.. I moved the wire around and it still is the same lol. Whats funny is, the door light will fade in and out for a few min when you first start it then it just stays on. odd? Its not a big deal, just was wondering if anyone else had this. Funny little things eh. Haha! -Tom

Door A-jar sensor is messed up I think. Cause mine now stays on for the driver door. I looked at the swtich (Can't take it out?) I found the wire running from it, moved it around and still the light is on all the time now. Hmm? Why did this switch just go? Anyone else ever had this issue? -Tom

I'll agree with that, Your car should be lucky from now on "Even if you go head-on at a Semi-Truck on the interstate" -Tom

Yes on the 27th, Its no biggie about the timing light (Ain't in no rush) I will prolly be at Miles for who knows how long lol. As for your wheels, all the time. It looks really high in the @ss and the camber looks wrong. Just odd, I dunno lol. LOL! Yea that must have hurt. I don't trust those things on any hood. I like the old Spring ones like on a GM. Our FJ has the struts for the hood (Wait till those get soft) Give me a hood rod anyday

Where did you buy your new gate struts? I need to buy some new ones aswell, my gate falls sometimes when its cold out lol (Unexpected "Wham!") -Tom

Hell yeah, I like that too. Wish I could think of something like it -Tom

Geez, that looks pretty bad. Oh yea, its not white anymore (I forgot) -Tom

To me, even if you drop in solid axles, T-case, Diffrent trannies ect.. As long as you still run the Flat-4, its still a Subaru. I've never seen a Subaru guy (Board member) not run the Boxer. Seems retarded to pull the Flat-4 and drop in a Inline-4 from a Jeep or a 350. If you don't run the Flat-4 then why bother with the Subaru chassis at all? Why not just start with a Jeep or whatever..? I do like what you do with your Rigs Scott. Anyone seen that Loyale Bodied, Full Framed, GM 350ed rig? It was on some wheeler forum (Guy seems like a wongleflute) takes the heart of a Subaru out -Tom

Scott, Lol yes it does I do have one question, why is the Camber f'ed up for your rear wheels? I've noticed that saturday, your driver side wheel is looks a little like this "\" is something bent on your rig? unless its just cause of the crap coilovers? Oh and, I'm thinking of going over to Miles place again next Saturday (Check out his new '95 Legacy) are you gonna go over there, or you have other plans? Cause if you ain't, bring your timing light with you (Wanna check/adjust my timing) Only if you are coming over is all.

Second half of the pics: Fox Heading back to Milwaukee. 794. Camper! I will end this post with pictures of Fox's camper which is badass. -Tom

This is what I did over the weekend, we did a meet, 3 old gens (Scott, Miles, Me) and 3 new gen Imprezas (Steve, Dan, two other guys) Thanks go's out to all that made it to the meet and made it fun. It was great meeting you Impreza guys! Right, so here are some pics I shot. Wayward to Fox's place, Miller Stadium. (12pm) At Fox's garage, Toyota 20RE Camper (Trashwagon style) Fox's '86 3-door carbie semi-4WD (For now) Scott (Left) Steve (Right) Steve, Scott, looking at Steve's 2.5RS wagon. Behind Scott's Wagon At the Alterra meet (1pm) The Gang Two Black 2.5RS, one a turbo (This one) The other. Overveiw: Fox's '86 3-door (Almost 4WD) carbed EA82. Scott's '92 Loyale 5-spd D/R SPFI. Steve's 2.5RS. and please, if I have your name wrong, correct me. I'm not good with names Lol. Left the Alterra, and hit up the cruise. On 794. away from Downtown. Fox and his Girl (Forgot name sorry) Can't fit all images in one post: -Tom

And if you bring it up here, Swap it to D/R 4WD I'd buy it off you But most likely, this thing is a crap box nowdays. If its been sitting in tall grass for a few years your gonna have mice and little buggers living in it. -Tom

Post some pics of the seats! -Tom

Kickin' Kitten! Nice wagon too -Tom

Part it out How rotted do you thing it is? To bad I didn't live in IA (I'd look at it and maybe fix it to drive.) need to swap that bugger to 4WD (And then learn how to drive stick) lol

Yea that sure was badass, At least it isn't gonna leave the board (I'm sure Earl will post about it here and there) Now maybe you can get crackin' on that bumper for me :-p (Joke) Good luck on the Beast! -Tom

I went to the car wash to get the salt off the Safariwagon today, and then some 40+ lady gave me a look at whipped a birdie at me!!? WTF is that about? Cause I burped the throttle when crossing an intersection? LMAO. Guess she doesn't like the sound of a Flat-4. -Tom
