    Scout-Subaru mashup?

    So after owning 7 Subarus in the past 9 years I find myself without one and miss having the rumble in my life.  I bought a 1969 International Scout 800 with the intention of putting the body on a running chassis with the same wheelbase (100'').  Then I did some googling on Subaru buggies and...

    Outback exhaust wanted

    My 2000 Outback's exhaust recently fell off right at the muffler and since it's due for a sticker I need one.  All I really need is an axle back for a legacy\Outback wagon.  Not sure if the 200-2004 is different then the earlier gen.?   Doesn't need to be anything special or a performance...

    Free: Leg wag/Outback cargo cover, Protect your junk!

    Retractable cargo cover for an Outback or Legacy wagon.  It's out of a 2000, so it should fit 2000-2004.  Free to whomever picks it up in Windham before I take it to the transfer station.

    S201 carbon hood scoop

    I've got a carbon (or carbon "look") hood scoop that came off of a certain 2000RS a while back.  It's just collecting dust and I could use cash to buy my kids Christmas presents.  It's in good shape and ready to inhale small mammals into the engine bay.  Make me a nice, reasonable cash offer and...

    Kidney for BMW in dialasis

    I heard Kidneys were quite valuable on the black market.  I found an iconic BMW "kidney grille" on the road.  Left side only so the poor car is only living with one kidney now.  This one is a little scratched up but should work just fine.  I tried it out on my John Deere tractor but apparently...

    Best junkyard for cheap parts?

    Not sure if this should be in the WTB section or not.  I'm curious of where people are going to get cheap parts.  (at least in southern Maine)  Someone told me to check out Freeport Auto Salvage.  I know Cumberland Salvage is closer to me, any other places I should check out.  Basically I want...

    Low BH Outback 5mt

    So I found the Outback I was looking for and it was in decent shape.  BH body style, 5speed, not rusty and not a horrible/typical mint green color either.  As a bonus it had yellow tinted fogs and was nicely lowered so my work was 1/2 done already.  It rides nice on the Legacy struts with the...

    Scrap heap Outback Winter Beater

    Fastest car buying decision I have ever made led to my new 2013-2014 winter beater Outback.  When I noticed the Outback posted for $200 and it ran and drove I thought: "what's the catch?"  So I bought it and figure if I don't like it and it doesn't work out then it goes to the big Subaru scrap...

    Feeler/WTT: 2.5RS

    Well, it turns out that my Bucket list car that I've wanted for over a decade is not very practical for an older guy with a family.  I've owned this RS for a few months and it's been tons of fun but not what I need to be driving at this point in my life.  Everyone here knows it as Matt's old RS...

    WTB new Subaru for me: shopping advice/tips

    I know everyone is out enjoying their cars because it's summer so they aren't posting them up for sale, but I just sold my Forester and need another Subaru.  I've been checking here, NES and RS25.com.  Any other places I should be looking?  I figured I wouldn't bother with NASIOC because I never...

    New Top Gear episode

    Since people don't seem to like the USA version of Top Gear, they have decided to make it more interesting by adding more footage involving caravans and old euro trash cars... here's a sneak peek: Yeah, they even got Cooter's old pickup from the Dukes of Hazzard. Man, this show's gonna...

    Swapping my Forester's seized engine

    So I found an engine online to replace my 2000 Forester's seized engine. It's a phase II SOHC 2.5L from a 2001 Outback that was rolled. It has 71K miles on it and I'm wondering if I should have someone do the head gaskets and timing belt before I have someone put it into the car? I'm pretty...

    WTB new motor for my Fozzie

    Yeah, so I killed my motor on the dirt drive yesterday. Not sure what blew up inside, but it seized right up after making an unholy racket. So I need a 2.5 motor to drop into my 2000 Forester. I'm looking for something that I can put right in with as little work as possible. Don't care about...

    Rear spacers or install wagon springs/struts?

    So my 2000 Forester has 06 WRX sedan springs/struts and is looking saggy in the back. Should I install some spacers or get new WRX springs/struts (wagon version)? Looking for advice and opinions. Also, who sells decent spacers?

    5x114.3 16'' wheels wanted

    I need some cheap 16'' 5 x 114.3 (5 x 4.5) wheels to mount my snows on my 2006 CRV. I've got the tires and just want some extra wheels. Steel or alloy as long as they are round, hold air and are not very expensive. I hate swapping out tires every season. Winter wheels are a must! Thanks!

    I need to raise up some cash, so my 97 Impreza Outback Sport will have to go. 178K miles, 5 speed with fairly recent clutch, starter and flywheel. New alternator, mass airflow sensor and a recent brake job. Lake Region Imports did the timing belt and lots of work that I'll find the receipts...
