You're welcome. I can't install the hitch.

Frame rails are bent. They bent behind the sub frame so the rear suspension is ok. And true, but bent enough that the hitch won't mount up... Lame...

New upper coolant tank (old one was rusted)
New washer fluid tank (old one had a crack and the motor leaked)
New front O2 sensor (smashed the old one with the engine while it was out)
new passenger-side intercooler mount (bent it when pulling the engine)

Took it for an hour long drive, everything looks great. Finally get to enjoy my car again!

I had ebc reds on my g35 and loved them. I think I'll be really happy with these. Next up is my stoptech lines. I'm on call so didn't want to get into the whole bleeding the brakes thing today.

Still cannot figure out why the impreza is bucking and surging. Some days it runs great, some day....crap. I'm thinking the TPS got wet at one time. Been freakin out ever since. I checked the fuel lines, replaced the filter, and checked the EGR valve. New fuel pump, cleaned out the tank. Still running weird. Also, replcaed the crank sensor. May have to go in again and reinstall the timing belt. Might be a tooth off, (no lower end powah),
We'll see as we go. BTW, TPS's aren't cheap.

I broke mine while replacing ac compressor. End up using one from a Toyota Camry engine that was sitting at a friends shop. It would cost me $90 for Subaru. Also checked the price for Toyota tps, it's less than $30 at any auto parts store.

Bought some tin to snip up a covering for my intake since the new fender liner is two weeks out and it's raining tomorrow
Still not sure how the newish fender liner came undone on the lower front part but this tin won't, making damn sure of that.

Whoa! they're similiar? What year? mine's a 94. the 1.8 wont be in there long, but it's gotta run nonetheless.
Oh yea, addendum from previous post, installed new stereo, ditched the crappy factory Din stereo and added new speakers, rears and amp soon.
Then I start on suspension. Engine will be last.
