Nice! These cars just hook in book in most conditions I've found, especially if you get some studded snow tires under them. The winter conditions make my stock 2.2L daily feel like a go cart, I can only imagine what adding a turbo (or two lol) to the equation would do for the fun factor. I just ordered a pair of front CV's of the old FleaBay, I wasn't able to find any on rockauto that included the tone ring for ABS. I'm not sure if the ABS in my car is even working, but I figured it couldn't hurt. We'll see how the quality is, but I'm guessing most of these chinese aftermarket axles are coming out of the same factory so hopefully their QC is good enough to not send me a pair of DOA axles. Good luck on your wagon, hopefully you can get out and enjoy it some more this winter - it's the time of year these cars really shine.

Cool car! I've had a couple '97 Legacy 2.2L MT non turbo cars as my dailys for the last 8 years and they've treated me well. Over 260K miles on my current one with no signs of dying anytime soon. I saw you recently replaced the front CV axles on yours - I'm in need of the same thing for mine. What brand did you land on and how have they held up so far? From all the forum searches I've done, I've seen the Subie guys say not to bother with any aftermarket replacements, but that recommendation was obviously when you could still buy OEM axles from Subaru (which they've since discontinued the fronts for 2nd gen legacy's in the last few years).
