Very cool, thanks for the greeting and the info guys.

Also brand new to Subaru. Just picked up an '88 XT6 5spd with 104k miles for a whopping $300! Runs great when warm, all electrical works, ac even blows cold. A few things I'm curious about though: 1. It starts right away when cold, but studders like crazy and will stall if I give too much gas until it gets warm. If I hold it a 3000rpm for a minute or so it gets over it and revs no problem. Hoping a simple tune up will help, plugs look pretty old. Soon as parts get here it will have new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, already ran through some injector cleaner w/ no affect. 2. Lots of valve lash for the first 10 minutes of driving, then finally adjusts and sound better. Any way to speed up the adjustment? It sounds painful. 3. Slight idle surge from 750 to 1500 rpm at normal operating temps, but not when cold. Check engine light on intermittantly, usually it waits to flick on until the engine is hot. Any thoughts or advice you guys have is much appreciated. Please educate me. Looks like a great forum!
