I picked up my friend today to go mountain biking. He looked at my new 97 Brighton wagon and said " a Subaru, now you really are a hippie".

 

I bought a 97 Brighton wagon three weks ago. It has 120,000 on it. So far so good. I'm really liking the car. The ej22 has great tourque. It's a little thirsty, but not bad. I have been getting from 25 to 28 MPG mixed driving.

 

I checked out the write ups on here and put in a tach and cruise. Both came from ebay... for that matter, so did the car. The cruise was the kit that shows up a lot on ebay, at the time I bought it I didn't know that and ended up spending a few bucks more than the origional buy it now price had been.... oh well, it was worth it! There are a few differences on the 97 not covered in the directions, but even so it only took a few hours.

 

I think I might have to do a front wheel bering soon, and definitely the timing belt.

 

 

So, just saying hi!

Way to go, Anthony. Good choice--and smart move to put the tach in. And no, you're not a "hippie," just an intelligent person who's smart enough to buy a Subie!!!

 

Funny, as I read your post I'm watching Columbia on TV, the Gamecock-Alabama game. I'm an old Gator so I have to see how our boy Spurrier is doing (doing pretty well so far!)

 

Good luck with the new ride.

your not a hippie lol, just because you are smart enough to buy a subaru, doesnt mean you are a hippie. and welcome aboard
