To start with, does the tach go up when you crank it? That's a good first step. If you have a scan tool that can display sensor values that is an easy way to check. Or connect a voltmeter to the 2 wires off the sensors, set it to AC volts and see if it reads anything. Do you have fuel pressure and injector pulse?

Right after the disapointment of the rusty hatch we got the WRX. It's awesome and was the deal of a lifetime. She's been driving that around a lot. She doesn't like the 5 speed, although I think she drives it just fine. She wants a hatch or a wagon, 87 or older hatch or 84 or older wagon. She really wants a 4wd auto. The hatch in this thread was going to get an EJ22/4eat swap, but we never got it since it was so rusty.

He gave her a non-paying bidder strike. She says she doesn't really care, it doesn't do much unless you get several of them. He didn't leave her a negative feedback and she didn't leave him one. He obviously sold the car anyway.

It shouldn't matter too much. I have had them where the flange totally rotted off the 2nd cat. I used a repair flange with the donut seated against what was left of the old flange and it didn't leak at all. Your flange might be so rusted and bent it's not pulling the pipes tight enough together. I use a repair flange from autozone, it's like 5 bucks comes with 3/8 bolts and I eliminate the springs. Then you can really tighten the pipes down. If all else fails try some high temp copper silicone behind the donut.

Yeah that's the one. It's rusted bad. Probably couldn't get it past state inspection there. It would never pass here in PA. Wonder how much he paid for it. The dealer was giving us some story about how some guy was willing to pay $1800 for it, if we didn't want it.

If you take out the pitch stopper (dogbone) they usually fall right in. Jack under the trans as high as you can get it, drop engine in, slide the studs in, install top bolts and tighten, drop and remove hoist, drop the jack under the trans and the studs usually fall into the holes. If they are off a bit (an inch isn't much) do the big screwdriver/prybar and hammer to drive them back some, they will drop right in without a lot of hammering.

Carlisle show May 16-18 2008

I just registered. I only registered the 360 so far. I might bring the WRX too, I have to see about getting a hitch for it to tow the 360. Should be fun. I think I will show up Friday afternoon and hit the dragstrip, then stay for Saturday and go home Saturday night. -
Both timing belts fit. One has a longer service interval. I like to change the tensioners at the 200,000 mile belt change. But if they aren't leaking grease loose or noisy you coudl reuse them. If the tensioner isn't leaking it's good to reuse. Subaru sells the wrench. You really don't need it. I use an air impact gun to break the cam bolts loose. If some work it's just bulbs. These usually get 25-30 mpg if all is well.

I'm going. I'm bringing the 360 for sure. If I get a trailer hitch for the WRX, I will bring both. That should be a sight to see, a WRX with a 360 in tow. Is anyone going to the drag racing friday night? I'm up for it. I want to race the 360. Are people starting to register yet? -
Rear diff

X2 on a used diff. It will cost more to repair the one you have now. They hardly ever go bad, so your chances of getting a good used one are very good. -
You could go with the EJ22 swap. You might run into some additional problems since your 99 forester should have an EJ25 phase 2. The forester also has some things different with the intake. But for $100 go for it. I would not bother with a rebuild on a car you have $100 into. Put in the used engine, drive it and enjoy. If down the road you have trans problems, put in a used one.

I'm up for this, let me know. I've also got a truck and trailer if needed.
