well the STI i saw the perrin one on did not have the stock subframe in place...but the thing handled like it was on rails.... another one i found a few months ago and was thinking about putting on the WRX.... http://www.rallysportdirect.com/shop/beatrush-wrxsti-super-light-subframe-p-3065.html

i could be mistaken but i have been told there is a mercury switch inside the seatbelt retraction mechanism....so i guess that would make perfect sense as to why it should only come out at a specific angle.....

http://www.customcarscentral.com/prnpspsus550-subaru-wrx-sti.html i saw these the other day on an STI at work.....they looked pretty impressive...and not really as big a pricetag as i thought...ive heard of a few others but cant remember them off the top of my head...

yeah you could always just replace the front Subframe with an aftermarket unit...It looks really cool...

Wow Good Luck! Be Safe!...

you could shower the sunroof area with some water just to make sure that its coming from where you think....don't want to go replacing this and that if your not absolutely positive of the area of the leak...

I think it all depends on what brand it is...I have seen universal ones that will fit both turbo and n/a models...

I love the side skirts and by looking at the front end you can kind of tell it was built by Subaru (grill looks similar)...i do agree that it could use a little lower roofline though....as long as its still powered by a Boxer Engine and has Subarus "famous" AWD i dont see a problem..

cant beat it for $250 especially for a Gen 1 EJ22... How many miles?

It should work fine....unless it says on the packaging or instructions or whatever that it wont.....

Also not as common as the leaky valve covers or belt idlers....but we've seen a few timing chain tensioner's go bad...

valve cover gaskets...very common oil leak area on the H6...

EZ30 With a GT35R....

well...first of all how much does he want for it?

I hear ya...LOL i was frozen when i did mine a few weeks ago in my garage...

slegacy96- the only thing i can relate to with your problem...is My tach went out a while ago on my 96 Legacy (198,000 miles)read the wrong RPM I guess you can kind of say it was stuck between like 1000-4000 RPM...its super easy to pull the cluster and just replace the tach head out of a donor car.... i think in total its 11 phillips screws ( 4 in bezel around cluster, 4 holding cluster in, 3 holding tach in) and like 4 electrical connectors...If you have a known good cluster you could always take a few min. and swap the gauges over.....also if you replaced the speedo and now that works perfectly..i would def. suspect the gauges themselves over a connector/wire however it obviously cant hurt to make sure there fully plugged in and not gummed up with anything....

not to sure what your referring to when you say alternator cover...the cover for the drive belts?...The heat shield for the turbo? Well it cant hurt to have it on there..keeps things in the vicinity from being burnt...granted I dont have one on my WRX....than again though i cant im running at GT32...:lol:....I have seen customers cars with them off...but unless your thinking of modifying something like the turbo or downpipe I would keep it on....

Man its really even easier than that article describes i think it took me all of about 15-20 min. in my 96 Legacy....I dont know about the dealer where you are but at my dealership I think you even have to order some of those small bulbs.....Good Luck!

WOW...thank you for that...it put a smile on my face.... I had no idea...

Yeah I didnt think you could either...than they showed me on the there website that they sell KYB's and Monroe....

i would give NAPA a try....I just bought struts from them the other day for my 96 Leg. and I got them same day....

I could be mistaken but i believe that 97' was the first year of the interference EJ22...

Oh man im not buying it...i already have my hands full with my WRX and Legacy..I was just thinking that among all the Subie-heads on here maybe somebody will jump at it ...to far away from me anyway....

Was just browsing through craigslist and came across..... http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/978190841.html

if your intrested in more power...i will mention 3 things....1st and foremost a catless uppipe ( Since i work for Subaru ive seen many, many of these pre-cats break up and get sucked into the turbo...bad design on subarus part) after you get that installed...i have had pretty good luck on my 02 WRX with a cold air intake....and finally find a reputable tuner to bring it together...as suggested earlier http://www.nasioc.com is more performance oriented.... also check out http://www.clubwrx.net ...alot of smart people and tons of info on there as well...
