We bought a 96 Ram 2500 with 143,000 miles. We wire brushed and painted the underside with Miracle Paint. We have never had any rust problems on it since then, still looks as good as the day we painted it. If you use miracle paint though, remember, its only good as an undercoat or a primer...

Ok I got yah now.

BTW it already stands out. A 2.5RS is not a common car in Farmington, it looks baddass from the get-go. You also have a high rise spoiler, larger hood-scoop, JDM Headlights and Tail Lights, Red Rally Armor flaps, Ginormous winter tires, a lift kit, red brake calipers, a few dirty impreza logos...

You don't want a monster logo. I mentioned that Jokingly simply because you wanted to do something and that is less out of place on a subaru than a lot of the stuff you were thinking of, monster sponsers Ken Block and I think Dave Mirra. You see many other people with wierd vinyl all over thier...

My buddies SOHC engine blew its HG twice on his 2002 OBS. Both times the engine started overheat and would eventually be missing coolant, preventing him from driving it because he couldn't go over 10 miles without stopping to cool down. I don't think he had mixing fluids but even so, is that the...

Ok, that's good to know, thanks Dan. BTW I thought that the WRX transmission had different gearing? Wouldn't the 2.5RS seem underpowered if on a WRX transmission? Wouldn't it accelerate more slowly?

Also, does the WRX use a different shifter? I noticed this thing suffers from the "rowing in pudding" shifter syndrome and thought maybe a good next focal point should be the shifter, but if a WRX transmission would need a different shifter then he should wait, what do you guys think about that?

See that's what Im affraid of and a WRX engine setup doesn't seem much more expensive at the point that you start looking at $4000 turbo kits with questionable Daily Driver reliability. A WRX engine would have less likelhood of going boom without warning. Either way we would still need the...

Wasnt this about putting that kit on a 2.5rs dual overhead cam engine? Headgasket failure on them is a little more common and more serious isn't it?

One is a pre order and one is the full price.

After doing a turbo kit like that though isn't the Head Gasket going to fail more quickly? Along with other things that would not be a concern in with a WRX or STI motor?

Your Welcome!

I think it depends on the Mechanic used, the parts used, and the car being modified. I always get a kick out of the fact that when someone goes to buy a car like this everyone mentions how easy it is to swap a WRX engine in to it, then when someone mentions that they want to do just that...

I use royal purple. At VIP it costs the same as any other synthetic oil change, $55.00. It works well for me, I change it every 3000 miles and burn between zero and half a quart between changes.

Huh, I don't know. The impression I got was that this snap ring was on the top in mine, but mine is a 2009. I don't know how similar or dis-similar the designs are but I know mine did not strand me, it just made the shift lever feel loose and jiggly with a jingling type sound. The dealship...

When I was in my high school's electric car program we had a few sets of custom made Carbon Fiber wheels that we invented and built. They were extremely light and strong, but someone over-tightened the lugs and they de-laminated on me when I was the driver during a race a beach ridge. I was only...

There is also a snap-ring type thing that caused my shifter in my 2009 WRX with a short throw to get all loose feeling even though I had all the kartboy bushings to. I told the dealship and they checked it out, somehow it popped apart and my shift lever was able to pull up outward from the...

Yes I saw it on the forum too. Here: http://www.mainelysubarus.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11540-recall-front-control-arms/page__p__187775__hl__%2Bcontrol+%2Barm__fromsearch__1#entry187775

Well yah, all oils will say that because they want you to buy more of the product from which your are reading the warning label, capitolism at its greatest, improved sales by means of fear tactics! I look at it this way, its more akin to mixing poland springs with auquifina rather than mixing...
