others will respond with better info, but everything I've read across 2-3 forums for years indicates, 2" lift is the threshold. That or less is not too difficult, more calls for some more 'intense'(as in $$$) work with axles and suspension and alignment.

what they all said up there. Do you KNOW the car got a proper timing belt system service? You could always accelerate the timing belt system's service schedule. Do it at 75K miles or 75 months for instance. Make darn sure you are using a good kit. Don't run without covers. Use good oil, make sure the turbo and avls oil screens are clean. buying a used turbo is a gutsy move. If you want to worry about something, read about the Killer B oil pick-up .

1 Lucky Texan replied to moosens's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXcheck underhood along the plastic tank - to - metal core attachment. It's a common leak point. You could get a pressure testing kit from a parts store on loan to help too. Be aware, many folks have slowed/stopped minor leaks with the Subaru Coolant Conditioner. I'd want to make darn sure the heater core had to come out before tackling that job. (sry to hi-jack with no info on the swap itself)

triple checked all the mounts' bolts? exhaust hangers all ok? I got nothing...

also, check condition of u-joints for that clunking.

any clunking shifting from fwd / rev.? I can't imagine a cracked release fork would do this so, just gotta leave it to the gurus above lol!

if you thought getting it for about 15% less is OK, make an offer 20% less and try to negotiate to your 15%. a much lower offer may just p!55 him off. Hard to know. there's probably better 'classic' cars to spend the money on but.....

1 Lucky Texan replied to owen.alex's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXin case you didn't know, an app for your smartphone and an ELM327 BT adapter or similar from Amazon can let you read codes and do more. Cheap-ish too. (some free apps, and ,adapters under 30-40 bucks.)

1 Lucky Texan replied to ThosL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'd definitely do as lmdew suggested. I have had a failing battery set multiple/spurious codes on 3 occasions. May not be as serious as it seems but???????
