Hey Paul Would my 93 impreza qualify? or is it too new? :lol: its got big wheels and it will have forester suspension by then, plus auto dimming mirror, digital compass and other cool little neat things...

damn i got work, i wish i had off that day, but we're going saturday Paul, you should try to come down even if its for a couple of hrs, i'll buy you some gas if you need....

Bump for this coming up saturday!

Thats my next big mod

Look what I am taking to the Barrens!! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=14366&cat=500&ppuser=9830

i just picked one up, its a 93 impreza wagon LS AWD EJ 1.8, i've had legacies all my life and thi sis my first impreza and i can say it handles better than a legacy on curves, the stability is phenomenal... not as comfortable as the legacy but surely it is more economic than the 2.2 and a bit noiser too, but hey it is still the little brother of the legacy, it sounds like a subaru, it is reliable as as subaru, and it is easy to work on... make sure the clutch is not too low, oil leaks too!, check for rear main seal leaks those can be beotches to change and very expensive to get it done, front cam and crank seals also are very normal to leak, dont be scared by that, $200 plus timing belt and seals job will fix that, wheels bearing are also something you must check, any excesive road noise may indicate a bad bearing.... remember these issues are not to disincorage you to buy, but yes to try to drop the price lower. they are minor issues that can be fixed in no time, i've had all of these and a few more with my impreza, i ended up bying it for $700 from $1500 because i knew the issues and droped the price. good luck neo

bump! hey people we are gonna have snow there, come on out, its gonna be fun first run on Feb 24th, second one TBD

i was actually thinking the bigger the beter, but my problem is the strut rubing...

hey how you doing i saw the pic its looking good, and no i never took the Brat to the barrens, i used to take it to this place where they were constructing a village, it was basically just mud... that little one made through about 1 foot of mud with no problem, i miss that car soooo much, well keep us posted and see if you comedown one day for a run in the barrens.... lodging is free here in NJ, lol

yeah thats right, how big can i go on my 93 impreza wagon? no lift just plain impreza, i'm thinking about 205 70 15's will it fit? and can i go bigger than that? thanks

and i'm still working on my Outback wheels and tires for my ride, she needs a bit of a lift for pine barrens, she would def bottom out the way she is right now, lol hey guys i need a skid plate, EA series would do, does anybody have one?

hello all, well the time is here, PINE BARRENS!!! we are planning a small run on the 24th of this month and a bigger gathering mid March. Location: Pine Barrens NJ rt 206 Wharton State Forest Meet at the Red lion Diner rt 70 and 206 dates: Feb 24th 9am at red lion dinner and leave there at 9:45 to the ranger parking lot just down the rd on 206... this can be a small run, just to test out the roads with possibly some snow... March, date to come any subaru, 4x4, jeeps, etc are welcome, come prepared: spare, towing rope and a shovel... i got some tools but if oyu wanna bring some its good too.

is it a wagon or sedan, if it is a wagonit may be the roof rack

it was the bolt thread and the pulley, both were messed up. I replaced both plus the crankshaft sprocket. it was a beotch to get it out!! but like i said i had declared war and that thing had to come out...

yes yes guys everything is fixed up, the bolt came off by prying it between the belt cover and the pulley , yey!!!! timing belt changed and seals too now next thing are the frnt axles and a paint job paint job will run 300 at maaco for the whole car with clear coat! good deal cheers and thanks everyone for your help Neo

oh ic another thing to fight with, arrrrghhhhh, I HAVE DECLARED WAR ON MY IMPREZA!!!!! its gonna happen or its the junk yard! lol

ok another question, after i get that damn bolt out, i need to change the crank seal, how hard is to remove the seal?

thanks guys again that bolt wasnt "born" there!! that sucker is coming off this weekend!!! its war time!!

yeah true but how hard is to drill into that bolt?

i have no idea i went to do a timming belt job and found out that the bolt is not threading out.... it just keeps on turning and nothing happens....

well there is no space between the pulley and the bolt head so i will have to go behind the pulley and possibly crack the cover...

what if i break the plastic covers, how important is that? can i put everything back together without the palstic cover?

yeah the car is running fine just leaking oil from the crank seal, i need to replace it becasue it leaks alot, and i need to get that bolt out of there and replace with a new one, grrrrr, how about pry out the pulley while unbolting it? will it work?

what should i do guys? i'm doing a timeing belt job and the bolt is stripped and just keeps on turning and wont come out

Hey Guys i just bought a 93 impreza with 125K miles, good little car, i had to replace my legacy because of money issues. Well the car is great and all, but the blower fan only works on speed 4, what may be? thanks Neo :-\
