Default Times Change

Well the Honda is going bye bye. I put her up for sale today. I got a 99 Subaru RS with 64,000 miles. Its got some problems but i wanted a good project car. It was in an accident but the body has been all redone. Just a few minor things left. Two wheels were bent so i bought a set of 17" scion wheels. i think they look good. Its at a shop right now getting the front axle replaced and should have her driving tomorrow. You can kind of see in the picture the drivers front tire is leaning a little bit. Next thing on the list is a short in the power locks wiring because it keeps blowing fuses.

I hope its not electrical issues. Everything else thats electrical works fine. There is a tear in the gromet between the car and the passenger door by the hinges and im hoping thats where the problem is.

awesome man, not the biggest fan of the 2 door version but if it works for ya, great. It looks sharp, those Scion wheels match right up? Have fun and make sure you keep it a sleeper if your going turbo....most of the WRX/STi engine parts should be interchangeable (2.5 wrx), shop around clubwrx.net and nasioc.com for some good deals.

VF39 turbos can be picked up for CHEAP

good luck, keep us informed!

What do you mean by match up? And i believe the STI/WRX use a different block (correct me if im wrong) so from what ive heard you need to swap the block from the RS to a STI to be able to handle any considerable amounts of power from a turbo set up. But I definently want to turbo it sometime in the future. I have been working like crazy lately and i finally have money but most of it is going into getting the car up and running. Dont worry I will still be a regular here because i love this forum way too much to leave

EDIT: Patrick the reason you dont see the 2 doors very often is because between 98 and 2001 there were only around 3,000 made in the whole US

Yeah, I am probably going to spend all day tomorrow working on the two cars. Getting all my stereo stuff out of the Honda and trying to get the Subaru in tip top shape
