decided to let it go...didnt feel like messing with it... but i still have the factory gt wheels... witch i do believe they call the snowflakes with summer tires on... just wondering if i am going to sell or keep em

im not even going to try to make it driveable again... plus i would believe that within time the harness is going to corrode and give me electrical headaches down the road..

the insurance company said i could keep the car for $500... i am still trying to decide if its worth it to part it out... i knwo the motor is good since i know i hit the key before it went under.. i have until tommorow to decide... damage so far front and rear bumpers interior obviously one corner light both tailights have minor cracks towards the front of them... anything electrical.. one brand new firestone winterforce good drivetrain hood headlights rear gate all glass 3 brand new winterforces what you say... is it worth $500

thanks everyone for all the info... a little work doesnt bother me as long as it is worth it... but as many requested here is the story of my first ru... i bought it off craigslist in november... it is a 98 gt wagon with a spd 2.5..129k miles.. looked nice... only problem was it had a salvaged title... so the guy figured it was worth 1200 thats what he had it on c list for... i gave him a grand and drove it home... later discoverd reciepts that the hg's, t belt and front brakes only had 30k on them and that was a 1800 dollar bill.. so i figured i scored good on the car... worked fine ran good... did tune up one cv fluids speed sensor... and what not... fast forward to sunday... went out to shawano lake here in wi to watch the ice races.. everybody is parked around the track... so after about an hour me and another buddy who has a lifted cherokee decide to go cruising and this is the first time i have ever been on this lake.. well we are cruising not far from shore he is behind me about 100 feet or so and we are just messing around and the shore line kept coming in and out... well right as i came by the shore line as it comes out and then quickly goes in, i see the hole but it looks like a entry point onto the lake and looked like glare ice... and basically i didnt figure it wasnt tell it was to late since i was cruising at about 50 mph... but the reason it was water was because it was an entry point... a entry point to a river that connects this lake to another one apparently... so it was flowing water... let me tell ya it is a scary fellin when your sinkin even if it only ends up being about 3 1/2 feet deep... so anyway just to give you a heads up... anytime you go through the ice you should always call 911 no matter what... i didnt know that and a passer by did that for me.. and then the dnr came out and said i had 30 days to remove it... yes thirty... i couldnt believe that.. but its a ticket for every day past that... so it got pulled it out after about 20 hrs of it in there just a warning to everyone out that i got lucky and my full coverage insurance covered it all... that included my $2300 tow bill... and they are giving me blue book for my car which i am sure a lot of you can figure out... so yes that is the story of ru #1

well after sunday i now need a new car it was a 98 gt wagon 5 spd with the ej25 and it was my first subaru and i loved it... but i would like something a little more basic.. like not obd2 and i want manual windows and what not and the reason i am posting this in the older car section is because i found this http://madison.craigslist.org/cto/2156908550.html wondering if you guys would be able to give me a heads up and things to look for since i know nothing about this gen... does it sound like a good deal.. i like the fact that it had a 2.2 swapped into it.. i am looking for something reliable.. would this be it.. i dont know if its a auto or a manual... and just for the the curious here is my old car btw subarus dont have features like an old vw bug

i believe it is the alarm i also have one on my 98 gtw.. you got a key fob...

yep new sensor fixed it... wierd though cause the old sensor was within spec...

i would say maybe a dirty bad battery connection... new battery may be dead or you starter just took a crap....

was help full... appericated it... wierd though my cel turned off.... and sometimes when i press my clutch in to go coast and then downshift the car shuts off... yea i went to the dealer and ordered it today... they said hopefully wednesday... and yep $133 gone... somedays i miss the cable speedo's...thanks for all the help... i will report back to see if the sensor fixes it..

i think there is only one sensor since it is a manual.... can anyone verifiy

cruising down the road and suddenly the speedo just dropped to zero... btw its a 98 gtw 5spd.. about a mile later the cel went on and since i was on my way to my shop... i put the scanner on it and got a p1540 something about a speed sensor, witch makes sense. and if i remeber right a p1100 something about a starter circuit.. so i just cruised around the parking lot with the scanner and it wouldnt pickup the vehicle speed... is this just a classic case of a vss... just want to make sure before i go spend $100... thanks and merry christmas...

your checkout doesnt work

o yea got the screws also... i made sure of that..

went to the local dealer for the first time... it sucks... you actually have to go to the honda dealer parts center to get parts... guy was a da and not very friendly... but i got hte baffle plate fork and the clips for 75 and they were all in stock... so thanks again everyone for all the help...

is that subarupartsforyou website the same cost of parts from all dealers... cause i have a suby dealer not that far from me and if the parts dont cost anymore i will just go there. plus i like dealing in person anyways..
