New from Texas. *Pic Heavy*

I picked up my first subaru, and I have yet to enjoy a ride in the car. :tard:

You think the Mustang is a cop magnet just you wait :lol:. Factory STi struts are pink in color If you are looking to upgrade you really should check out the vendors section on the forums. Welcome to the team by the way you are going to like it here. By the sounds of it you might what to get the car on a lift and go though it top to bottom with a fine tooth comb. Check all the fluids IE engine, transmission/center dif and rear end, I would change engine oil just to be on the safe side and a little peace of mind. Then check bushings and for damaged or missing parts if you have any questions ask away you will not get flamed at IGOTASTi for asking questions.

Get a journal going and lots of pics! get some good pics of the engine bay so we can let you know if the previous owner installed something retarded.

Re: New from Texas.

Welcome to the team. I wonder why people cut their springs?

Something isn't right with the TMIC. Strange.

Welcome.

Struts "appear" to be factory STi. Springs look to be aftermarket and either cut, as you stated, or heated and then slammed.

Intercooler part number search turned up a Swedish salvage yard selling this from wrecked Foresters. They even had pics of the Foresters they pulled them from.

Yes, you are missing the air box intake ram.

If I were to venture a guess, I would say the previous owner had other parts on this car and parted it out prior to sale. Then put on whatever he found and put it up for sale.

A thorough exam would be in order.

Oh, and the part number on the spring references H&R sport springs.

Welcome in! Looks like a nice little project you have there. Our vendors can definitely hook you up. Give a shout if you need any assistance at all with anything!

:help:

Oak Leaf Salvage (a vendor on here) has given me a good price on OE parts in the past. I'd try to PM them and see what they can do for you.

Sorry the car's turning into a project!

 

[ICY STi]

Oak Leaf should defiantly be able to hook you up with what you need to make this car a joy to ride as a DD.

*Project update*

I contacted Cygnus performance for more info on the kit and they were a big help. I will be placing my order with them by the end of the week.

 

[Grinder34]

Well, dont be shy about contacting our vendors! I'm not sure if any carry the Fortune Coilover (i've heard good stuff about them too), but post something here:

and worst case scenario is you go with Cygnus but best case, you save some $$.

ps... one of our members has them and posted a nice review:

They got here WAY quicker than I thought.

[Grinder34]

Should be some good weather for it tomorrow! Give us updates and some reviews!
