    whining noise in first gear?

    i could do the clutch and transmission swap, but I currently lack the facilities to do it in, and as always, want to have an extra day's worth of time for unforseen consequences on a car nearing "antique" status soon.

    If it went away when you cleared the codes check your plugs and wires first, much cheaper and its normal maintenance anyways.

    2.5RS Coupe Vs Sedan

    2.5RS Coupe Vs Sedan

    his 97 is a US model, and imported the entire drive train and front sub frame from a jdm sti. I drove his 95 around for a week (with the 2.2 out of the 97) and i could definitely notice the creaking you speak of (of course the 200k miles has nothing to do with that...)

    2.5RS Coupe Vs Sedan

    4 door, practicality in a fun sports car can't be beat. Also, I have the exact same drivetrain in my 00 forester, the LSD DOES make a difference when you get it sideways.

    Cheap convertibles?

    Lgt front calipers and pads wanted

    he picked up the rear disc conversion already, just needs to be installed. but he now needs some front calipers to match it, we figured some 2 pot brakes would be adequate for the short term until the rest of the car has been finished (needs just a bit of body work haha)
