I just received this light bar today after about a month of shipping (Bought it off a guy over on rs25.com). I have '99 Forester struts and springs all around with front forester tophats and my stock impreza rears, camber bolts in the front and rear (front doesn't have enough adjustment so I am saving up for the Fozzy/Leggo OBS stearing linkage, rear control arm mount, engine cradle spacers and hardware and rear trailing arm mounts {trying to make it quick because I'm seeing some pretty bad wear patterns already!})...its all very $$ and I don't have any pull n' pays where I live...any one have a better source for parts than and OEM distributer and eBay??? Rims and rubber are in the same $$ situation...For some reason the 48 thinks AK is on another planet so shipping is...painful, but I am saving up for some 215/65r16 for sure and about any rim that will take 04 WRX brake setup. Been looking around for an old clutch pack type rear diff with a 3.9 ratio...rare stuff.../dreams.

Not exactly perfectly even. The front as you can see is slightly lower... nothing too bad though. Next move on the wagon will be a light bar.
You got a little lift form the springs over IMP springs huh?
Are those gen 1 Forester steelies?
what size tires??

Your IMP reminds me of my wife's old 93 Imp that we put gen 1 FOR struts on


stock


99 FOR struts and springs


99 FOR struts and springs front, 99 FOR struts and 95 LEG springs rear (leveled out the rear better)

Hmm, I've never heard of or seen anything like that. cool!

Could you extend it all the way over towards the passenger side to cover the canister and the rest of the open space of and next to the spare tire well?
Did you fab it from something or is this a product intended for this purpose?

curious and now interested. . .

Rear diffusers are common on track cars where high speed stability and good aerodynamics make a big difference. The one he has looks like the 07 STI OEM diffuser. I have the same one except its good at catching a LOT of mud and drying up to become a giant weight . The one below is made by APR performance.

Yes, its just a stock diffuser. It was cheap, and I was the first one to put one on a GC, but I've had to chop it a bit to fit it with my lift (lowering the swaybar caused it to run into the diffuser).

Hey guys I have a 2002 wrx with stock suspension that I use to rip up the fields once in a while. I'm not looking to lift it but I do want to get the saggy butt spacers. What are the biggest spacers I can get without having to get longer studs and what would be a nice tire to fill out that wheel gap with stock 16" wheels. Car is mainly used as a daily driver but taken off road everyday too haha

3/8" are the biggest spacers without needing longer studs.

I know this is the wrong forum but I just want to get it out there... I have a 06 wrx tr and just replaced the rear O2 sensor and just got the same p2097 code again? any thoughts?

Ps the car is stock except for aftermarket downpipe and no heat shield for the turbo ( both of which the previous owner did). Also, the code came back on after less than 50 miles after the dealer said they "fixed" it.

The aftermarket downpipe could be causing the code.

yeah the aftermarket pipe has different airflow/turbulence that the stock tune isn't calibrated for. So, in essence you could always do an O2 removal kit (not sure how well they work in tricking the ECU into believing that the sensor is still there). The easiest thing I've found is to use a COBB to just deactivate the code. If you know someone with the same year and model that has the AP2 as long as they have the race tuner software they can create you a stock map and go into the parameters and deactivate the particular code. I have the software I could do it, but my access port and software is for just a standard 06 WRX not sure if that would make a difference since yours is the TR. If you pm me I can send you a map with the code deactivated as long as you can get a hold of an AP2 and map manager that comes with the AP2 for an 06 to load it on to your cars ECU, we can give it a try.

Found a skid plate!

Its from like an '83 GL wagon, EA81 skid plate AND a awesome little bash bar that came on those wagons I didn't know about. Found both at a pick n' pull for $20






This is the kind of wagon that skid plate and bar came from:



All it required was drilling a couple holes up front. The rear holes on the subframe matched up exactly
