wow, maybe i better look at just working on the motor i already have. You know I love this site you guys are amazing! I'm such a noob, but I'm really learning. I've spent so much time in the past few days just looking over peoples questions and really taking in as much as i can. You probably just saved me A LOT of money... thank you man, it really means a lot to me :)

Yea I'm still finishing up college. And as crazy/EXPENSIVE as it sounds I want to do an EJ20 swap. I've always really wanted a Subaru that I didn't get rid of and was special/unique to me. WRX's are great cars, but everyone has one around here, and unfortunately a lot of them know nothing about the engine or history of Subaru. WRX's are fine by themselves, but I wanna do my own thing I suppose. For right now its just gotta get me through college. The only thing I want to do is get an intercooler on it because I don't feel comfortable with how its blowing such warm air into the engine. I have to admit, I love surprising people in this car and so thats why I thought of getting a BOV (not in a street racing sense). No one never seems to guess it has a Turbo.

When I got my Legacy the sunroof was sealed shut with something that looked like black caulking. The owner said it stopped working so he just sealed it off. Today I decided I'd try and fix it and cut all the caulking out to find that it wasn't closed all the way and he had just sealed it while it was still open anyway, I tried to use it and nothing happened. I'm guessing the motor is toasted. Anyone have an extra?? Any other possibilities its something else?

Yea it runs great. My problem is driving to fast. it's not that I constantly have it at redline or something, in fact I don't think I've had it at redline, but its so easy for me to mess around in that thing. Especially if its slick out, thats why i keep going through axles....in the long run i waste a lot of gas. If i drive normal it actually gets pretty good gas mileage...

I know its common for Subaru's to tick. I've owned a few and they always tick. My Legacy ticked a little at first, and then it went away and it hasn't been back for a few months. It just started up again a few days ago. I believe its because it needs an oil change, but I'm also worried my timing belts might be getting warn. Would a timing belt possibly cause this? A mechanic told me it wouldn't, but for some reason I still don't trust that. The last owner was saying it was due for a change.

Well I replaced my front axle a few weeks ago, and I made a really stupid mistake. I didn't pinch the crown nut down tight enough over the axle. I may have called it the wrong name, but its the nut that basically holds the entire axle assembly together. It started to make a similar noise to what your describing at about 40, and so I quickly pulled off and popped the cover off the center of the wheel to find it barely threaded on. I may have misunderstood you, I wasn't sure if you meant you had changed an axle or not. If you have changed the axle, you may want to check that you pinched that nut down.
