Fuel cell solves problem of digging into rusty stock tank, but is a likely fail for Maine inspection. "fuel tank not in stock location" caused numerous insp fails with our rally cars. Stupid to pass a car with sketchy old stock tank and fail one with a tank designed to survive any crash intact...

@nairb4, that road out by Mt Blue and Weld is a fine cutoff, not to mention having MS support ur family place. Help me remember, where is the road out by Tumbledown trailhead. I might or might not have gone probly Much Too Fast on that road back in the day?

if it has a clutch cable, then it should be 97 or older. otherwise I have no idea whass goin on!

Impossible to adjust clutch cable on a 00 impreza, since it's a hydraulic clutch linkage. If clutch is going soft, you may be able to bleed system but that also probly indicates the slave or master is going bad. Most likely it's the pressure plate getting tired, and replacment is your only...

Meet @ Farmington, the take 27 past Loaf up to Stratton, then 16 west to Rangeley, and 4 back down to Farm. That loop has great overlooks, fun side attractions of all kinds, xcellent food options and just awesome roads. The Maine Porsche Club has done group drives there for many years.

Go North, then East. Find dirt. Feed the blackflies. Weed out the kitties, lol.

may go, but def not in the old 2.5RS! Might be a different color.

Here's another one. I got just one question--how in hell did she get that Foz going "...in excess of 100 mph..." ??? Guess she was going like hell, got airborne off a crest, then smacked some poor guy in a delivery van coming the other way and went off into the trees. Van driver wasn't hurt by...

well then QUARTS of PB Blaster then. here's what has to come out: exhaust, driveshaft, rear diff carrier and T-shaped subframe, tank straps, and a whole lotta fuel lines, filler neck, tank vent lines, and wiring to pump, sending unit, etc. We had to loosen rear suspension subframe (but not...

mmm, changing out the tank is really really fun. bring gallons of PB Blaster, a torch, nut crackers, EZ Outs, and all the assorted implements of destruction you have in your toolbox. prepare to get disgustingly grubby, and tell your Subie you don't really mean all those terribly foul words you...

You missed the fun Team O'Neil winter driving course that JoJo took this year. Good thing about these is that you get to use your own car. Poofy snowbanks limit (but don't totally eliminate) danger of damaging your own ride. Now that it's spring, all the courses are based on gravel and you...

Gabe did you find out if the RSB is as smooshed as rest the the back end

conventional wisdom regarding WRX swaps: if its a WRX you want, sell the n/a car and get the fully engineered turbo one. There's a whole lot more to a WRX swap than just plunking in another engine (upgrades to cooling, brakes, suspension, interior, cossmetics, etc) on the other hand, if you had...

alignment tool usually comes with the clutch kit

Improved body stiffness in sedan is due to addition of B pillar between the door openings. In the coupe, it's a looong span between door posts = creaky creaky. Rollover protection is also substantially better in sedan vs coupe. I have even seen roll cage failure in coupe-based rally cars that...

I have owned 6 GC subies now, 4 coupes and 2 sedans. There is good reason I'm driving a sedan these days.

RS w/o rear LSD = 2-wheel drive RS w/LSD rear = 3-wheel drive takes yer pick

obvious first thing to check is that the solenoid is bolted in to full torque. then replace seal. if still leaking, light car on fire. simple!

Sedan in MY 00 has rear limited slip diff, the 99 does not. Sedan body shell is substantially stiffer. Less clunks and body rattles in sedan. Fewer air leaks around windows in sedan vs coupe.
