    Hey whats up?

    name is Don, Izzysti told me to join up. i picked up my first Subaru yesterday. Its a 97 legacy wagon, 5sp, no rust, and 113k on her. (pics soon to come). Um plans are to do suspenssion, and maybe boost... I had a 91 saab that i turbo'd, and boost is addicting :eek3:haha.

    never mind, i guess it did get attached lol, anyways, yes this thing is pretty mint indside and out. Sorry for the crappy pic, more legit ones to come once she is cleaned up lol.

    oh and i keep hearing people say that subarus are like legos, exactly how true is that?? Izzy was telling me about how 04 sti suspenssion would fit on the wagecy.?

    WELCOME!

    Subaru's stack well, you can easily stack Subaru's one on top of another, this is use-full when trying to shore-up buildings after earth quakes, or when creating obstacles for monsters invading our cities, such as Godzilla or King Kong. There is much to learn but you seem like an apt pupil, WELCOME!

    Got a look at the car myself. It's pretty nice inside and out. It has the EJ22E in it so that's a bonus in terms of boost potential. He also has his first upgrade in the form of a UEL header (I only have 2 left now). He also got my old up pipe I had in my OBS when it was turbo'd. I threw that in for free.

    i have a 02 IC that fits on my 2.2l (without modification). Some say you need to trim just the outside lip off the ic, but mine fits, its snug but it fits.

    if you're talking about turbo'ing your car, stock up on hoses/clamps/t-fittings and the like. i'm getting sick and tired of running back and forth to menards,napa and the like. and measure a million times, and make a list of what you need before you leave. since i have about a hundred misc parts that i "thought" would fit but that turned out to be oh so wrong. and with hoses, get more than you think you will need, i mean alot more, i got 8 feet of 1/2" hose which i thought would cover me, but no i was way short.
