famaya26 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 After a good time soul searching, I dropped the idea of getting a 4th Gen Wagon so decided to get the next best thing, 2017 Outback 3.6R So far I'm loving it. I replaced the stock wheels with 2016 WRX wheels. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I did the same. Looked for almost 1 year. Had multiple donors lined up for parts, just needed one half decent runner. In the end, I gave up. Used the car funds for a birthday party for my daughter and a sim rig. I drive fast "virtually" now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famaya26 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Is it really a genuine Subaru if it doesn't throw a CEL? Sitting in the drive thru at In N Out and CEL along with everything disabled. Its happened before and it's the Ambient Air Temp Sensor. Going to remove it again tomorrow and see if cleaning it works, replaced it with a new one 2 weeks ago. Going to get the code read again just to make sure.

Did you possibly damage it when you took the bumper off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Could just be a bad connection too. Have not had In n Out in over 4 years. Oh the melted cheese left in the wrapper from a Double Double (or a 4x4) Animal Style with grilled onions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famaya26 Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Getting a WRX exhaust installed soon. It bolts up with very minor modifications, y pipe include. Just need to get a shop to install a straight piece at the the flange on the Y-Pipe. We rotated and re-welded but the small bend it has causes rubbing on the driveshaft. Yellow is where it rubs and red is where it needs a straight piece. Also needed extended muffler hangers. Going to take it to a muffler shop this weekend to see if they can make it work.
