I wanted an audi allroad 2.7T wagon manual roofbox blah blah blah but I was a little too fiscally responsible at the time to deal with the maintenance of it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6f3bab88ab.jpg
Sweet! Such a fun track to drive.
What’s it need?Quote:

Drives ok and has no CELs for now. Body and interior are nice enough (and car was cheap enough) to tolerate the usual Subaru boxer motor fuckery.
Cool sled!Quote:

Some of the 08-14 WRX parts may fit that car. Also, the Spec.B transmissions aren't hard to find and cheaper than the STI units. Difference is in the differential, and I think a little longer ratios iirc. Get the Spec.B Bilsteins & springs for a little nicer suspension.Quote:

Agreed. There was a guy I used to see at Autocross that ran one and whipped it around like it was nothing.Quote:

thanks. yeah, I'll do the nice mls gaskets with arp head studs when it comes time. clamp that shit tight. (assuming i don't find other problems that would make working on this motor nonsensical... there are a few suspect components that will see some scrutiny in the coming days)Quote:

That's a nice looking ride.
My OB must have been built on a Friday, in 7 years and 125,000 miles it went through 2 sets of head gaskets and a set of cam crank seals in the NA 2.5. When I traded it in it was at the point where I dumped a bottle of Stop-Leak in the crankcase and gave the undercarriage a thorough washing on the way to the dealer to get rid of it.
"Fill the oil, check the gas," was the order of the day pulling into a full service station with that rig.
X2 on the color, Norse. That’s one of the finest looking Subarus of all time IMO.
What does this mean for the maroon marauder?
