Hehe, very nice!!!

You need some more gauges to fill up that carbon fiber plate. That boost gauge looks so lonely

Does the cruise still work with that wheel?

It does look nice though!

I hear the EJ22 is one of the cleanest burning engines Subaru ever made. The EJ22T should be no different. Ive never heard of one having smog issues, just make sure everything is stock. That goes for your intake, so take the Intercooler out before you take it to the smog shop. If they know their shit, they'll know its not illegal, but alot of shops will see it and not touch the car cause of it... ive had it happen and it pisses me off.

Get it smogged and streetable, thats a sweet ride! Already 5spd and all.

I do not think the cruise Control works. I havent had it long enough to try it out.

Hey did you buy your car with that 5spd in it?

Re did the IC hoses yesterday. Seem like they turned out good. No more leaking like before i hope! I havent gotten to fire it up yet but it sure does look good.

Damn that sounds SWEET!

I really gotta do something about the exhaust on my car. Makes it sound like a grandma car.

So i have been way too busy to work on my car lately. I dont feel like im doing it justice and was just kinda putting a word out to see if anyone might be interested. Im in roseville. Specs are as follows. Custom powdercoated RS wheels. Coilovers (not sure of the make) WRX Brakes. Forrester Trans. Magnaflow exhaust. HID Headlights. Brand new Radiator. 16g, SAAB TMIC Has around 120k miles on the counter. Spedo cable broke no more than 1k ago as i was told. its not smogged yet and needs a little love. Has a salvaged title from being hit on the side. But it is in typical shape of a car of that year. I dont know that i can really part with it but, we will see.

scoobydude · Post by **scoobydude** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 6:22 pm

Ill try and get some of the headlights. Not going to part it out. The car runs great and drives perfect so i want to keep it all together.

So things have gotten better and the car is no longer up for sale. Started to look like i would have to sell both my cars to just pay for the monthly bills but its all better now.

I know everyone who has ever owned that car EVER. Did you mange to get it to pass smog? ROTFL

Hell, I liked it so much I bought it twice (and so did the guy you bought it from). Brian, you finally have pictures of my red wagon, lol.

To answer some of your questions/concerns:

Cruise will not work, unless you redo the whole system somehow. Cruise was not a concern when doing the original tranny swap. You'l ahve to fab something up for the horn, too; that hub doesn't interface with the stock contacts so you'll have to get creative.

The suspension setup is GC coilover sleeves on WRX struts.
It is a 4.44 Forester transmission, with an Exedy organic clutch and an ACT lightweight flywheel.

Keep an eye on that IC, it likes to chew through coolant lines.
It's fully catless unless something changed, so you'll probably need a stock exhaust to pass smog.

In its current state (was running an SAFC before) it was making around 150WHP and 180-190tq on a Mustang dyno at aobut 7 pounds of boost. For comparison, a stock WRX comes in at aobut 150/150, so it's quick enough to have some fun with.

Good luck with the car, and I mean that.
