    Actually found a pic!

    I knew a guy that put a Baja hood on a 3rd Gen Legacy just for having a hood scoop. He never said anything about having any fitment issues, but I guess that doesn't mean there weren't any.

    Lol I always get a kick out of your posts. This info can e found in the retrofitting forum in the EJ swap thread for sure. But yes, you use the clutch the goes with the transmission, so the EA82 5 spd 4wd clutch kit. The XT6 kit has better clamping force though. The whole reason behind using a redrilled and resurfaces flywheel, is because you need the EA82 flywheel, to bolt onto the EJ motor.

    Use pliers or something small to get into the plug and squeeze the terminals back together so they have a tight fit against the connector that comes off the bulb. Then put some dielectric grease into the plug.

    I'm not buying that it's high centering on 6-8" of snow. I took my 98 Forester with snows through 4' (feet) of snow, up a 30+ degree slope, for at least 200 yards (my driveway) last winter, and made it to the top without issue. While that does have more ground clearance than a stock Loyale, I still should have high centered with that much, yet I didn't. I had to stop 3 times in fact, to clear a foot of snow of my hood and windshield so I could continue on to make it to work for power restoration.

    I was going to say, must be some pretty bad tires, or maybe just some worn all seasons? I have usually found my Subaru, any of them, out drive any SUV or pickup in the snow.

    Same here, and from my experience, you don't notice any worse handling with the Forester struts and no or small rear sway bar. I daily drive this combo, along with a lowered car, and another lifted old gen.

    I had a switch like that, with the matching under bumper lights once. I had them in a 92 Loyale I had. Wish I'd yanked that stuff out of it before I sold it.

    I'm sure that it's like any turbo, and that a good tune will help with what you're after. And there's a good chance that a better flowing exhaust would help as well. Just make sure you have it tuned after any modifications. But a good tune, even at stock level will help alone.

    That's the issue I had as well. I gave money ahead of time, and still waited 8 months without even getting a pic. I was always told he was busy with walk ins etc. It's too bad it goes that way. :/

    Actually it was. The hatch was made till 89 in the states and the brat was made till 87.

    Just because they claim the head gasket issue was resolved, doesn't mean it was. I have seen and heard of a bunch of newer ones with the same head gasket issue as the earlier ones. Good chance that's what it is. Could be valve cover gaskets too?

    As long as they are both the same chassis code. Like either ea81 or ea82.
  15. bratman18
    Lol. Nope can't say I have!
  16. bratman18
    I see that the second one you listed actually states FRP template. I wish they were better with their descriptions.
  17. bratman18
    It does say fiberglass template, but it also says in brownish lettering, Brand new Fiberglass Snorkel. I just didn't want to take the chance.
  18. bratman18
    Nope the 2.2 wasn't interference till 97

    Haven't started it yet. Just came in a few days ago. Not sure when I'll get it done, I'm just about ready to start my ej swap. I actually ordered one from amazon so I'm not sure if that other one is indeed plastic or not.
  20. bratman18
    I'm not looking for a whole lot for it. I'd need your zip code to check on shipping.
  21. bratman18
    It does that whenever there is a bad bulb, so if it's doing it periodically, I'd say there's a bad connection, most likely at the socket where the bulb sits.
  22. bratman18
    Especially if you use 98-02 Forester springs on your Forester XT struts. They are a little longer, so they compress a bit more in the strut and hold the rear end up a bit more.
  23. bratman18
    Within a month I'll have the just about brand new NGK wires off of my EA82 that I can sell you to save you a few bucks. I'm going to be doing an EJ swap soon.
  24. bratman18
    Welcome! I have a rear sliding window I'd sell.
  25. bratman18
    That's somewhat common. If you can find some saggy butt spacers that fit your rear top hats, they would help even it out.
