So I should not be limiting myself to just AWD then...
What section of the board would I find this under?

John, one thing to consider is that in the FWD to AWD swap, besides the main pieces such as driveline, awd tranny, rear axles: you'll need a bunch of misc parts that always pop up on any ...

Ok, this might be extremely dumb:
Has anyone done an AWD conversion from their FWD Subaru?
Is it a bolt on affair, or not possible at all?

Good luck with that Volvo in the back ground.
I have had 2 850's.
One 855 LPT, and my current 854 T5.
Nice and quick cars, in turbo form, but too high maintenance for me anymore.

You want to lift and slam the same car?

What document?
Is there a link somewhere in a sticky?

I'm sorry I am not familiar with your Legacy.
Is it FWD or AWD?

Definitely some good info on engine coding.
I guess I will never know what "EJ" stands for.
But as far as the rest of the coding goes, it seems fairly simple with a bit of memorization.

Most earlier Imprezas I've seen are fwd. Did he know you were driving 2 hours? I had a guy in Detroit with a ...

So how do the engine codes work in these cars?
For instance in my Volvo, my engine code was B5234T, meaning 5 cylinders, 2.3 liters of displacement, 4 valves per cylinder, and factory turbocharged (T).

And, as far as wiring goes, that is the least of my worries.
I get a kick out of wiring, however ...

Those springs are from Ground Control as well?

Did you look into just using the sleeve and adjustment nut from Ground Control, while using a different manufacturer's spring?

Seriously?
That is so awesome!

What about transmissions?

Honestly, my biggest complaint to be had on a car is reliability.
If a car is not going to be reliable, I could care less how much power it makes.

I drive pretty slow for the majority of the time, mostly because I lower all my cars, and would rather someone have quite a bit of time to check out my ...

Hello welcome!!
To verify if a Subaru is AWD when you go look at one just stick your head under the rear and look for a differential, driveshaft, and axles :) That simple!


Haha, yea I know that :wink:
I was more so asking if there was a way to tell strictly by engine bay pictures.
It is a ...

Hello everyone, my name is John.
I am new to the Subaru world, but not entirely to cars.
I am a half decent mechanic, having owned a few Volvo 850 turbo's in the past 3 years.
They are nice, quick, and comfortable, but as far as reliability, I might as well had just bought a Chrysler product..

So I ...
