  1. if these work on a 97 outback sport,i am interested.i really need to lift my girl for the snow and ice.
  2. dude,just got it done today on my obs.same spring bolt rusted threw garbage.my local minekee gave me the option.replace from cat back ,or cut away and weld new pipe in.my mind wants new exhaust,but car only cost me 600.new exhaust is 850.now with welded pipe was only 180.stiil high,but she is now quiet as church mouse.he also found a leak from the flange that mounts to the engine.i saw the rusted bolts and did not want him to mess with it.i will do it myself after some serious pb blaster soaking to change the gasket.he just put some exhaust weld or whatever it is called.good as new.she has 201k on her and not a sound now.
  3. man,I miss my 86 gl.loved that thing.then it was t boned by a plow driver.still havent found another here in ny.get it back and fix her!
  4. thanx for the replies.as for the price,it's only low because my best friend up hear moved down south and didnt want to take the car.they had 2 others.I drive it once a week hear and she runs great.just looking for other non obvious things to look for.I'll be getting the maint records in a day or 2 so Ill have a better idea of what's been done to it.
  5. hello all.looking for some feedback.my first subie was a glxt non turbo in high school.loved that car.about 5 yrs ago,got a gl wagon.I would still have it today if a snow plow didn't t bone me in a snow storm.loved that one too.now I'm picking up a 1997 OBS.got about 197k on it and it runs like a top.5 speed with just the typical rust on the top of the 2 qtrs.she's real clean and shifts nice.anyway,waiting for title and maint. records,which I'm told the p.o. has extensive records of alot of dealer done things.including transaxel.I found his tire rotation records and it looks like he did them every 4k like oil changes.I'm only paying 600 for it,so what the hell? anyways,till I get the records what else should I look for?car is in my driveway and I got total access to it.I know about checking the timing belt,but at that mileage,what else should I check?
