Just got back a little while ago from Minneapolis after buying it this afternoon.

Needs some work but it's my luck that the timing belt, tensioner and idle pulleys have just been replaced. Needs brakes, atleast one O2 sensor, and probably some motor mounts.

1999 Subaru Forester

Those are a very practical car imo. Def not like a stang in iowa winters. Lol Or even worse a tbird w no trac lok they really suck.

[biohazard]

Should do a lot better in the winters compared to the Ranger I traded in for it and my other Subaru I'm in the process of selling, waiting for money.

A person a work has one, I looked it over at the time and thought real practical.

hehe, everyone asks me if Im expecting kids and when Im getting married. Practical for sure, had a friends mom comment saying "I didnt know he had a family car."

I immediately got a loud ass TAB Fab exhaust. :supz:

That fozzy should run forever.

[biohazard]

It's definately a step-up from the Impreza. There are some definate plans in the future for this Fozzy, after getting minor issues fixed first of course.

Had a guy from Canada ask if we could get the 2.5 sohc head gaskets. Is this a sohc or dohc?

[biohazard]

Great question, I'm not sure LOL. It's a 99 if that helps.

As some of you may or may not know, my Forester was not running properly when I bought it. Ended up being a bad valve.

And here are some pictures, enjoy.

[biohazard]

It was a bit of a learning curve, but I think I could do it again.
