Subaru Stars Bought my first Subaru!!!

On Saturday I bought this little gem for $1350 with 90,000 miles! It's my first Subaru, and it's a great little commuter. Sorry if any of you were part of the "I have to call 5 people and tell them I sold the car already"

Generally this will be a commuter/short trip car so I can just use my Highlander for long trips requiring space, but I'll be screwing around with it in Winchester, VA at the CDC AutoX this coming Saturday, Jul 26th, since I don't think I've gone to a single race this season. Stupid busy schedule.





Today I'm creating a list of changes, fixes, upgrades, along with a planned priority level. The list so far looks like:
1) P0325 - Knock sensor: Pull connector, hopefully out of spec (400-700kOhm), replace
2) Passenger mirror glass fell off?? It was held on by foam adhesive pads. So I need a new way to adhere the glass to the housing again.
3) Hopefully just a new bulb for passenger fog light

Pending fixed 1, 2, 3) Emissions and Safety Inspection

4) Oil change (oil/filter recommendations welcome)
5) Since Previous Owner didn't have any records... Gates timing belt/water pump/tensioner kit. Though still reading and deciding if I'll do this one myself. Is the 2.2L an interference engine? Anyone have a link to a decent write-up?
6) Plugs/wires, again recommendations welcome, though I've had good luck with NGK in my Miata.
7) Swap the 1999 Sony Xplod for something with an Aux In
8) Figure out how to mitigate the typical but still very small patches of rust over the rear driver wheel, and rear driver side skirt
9) Diagnose/price/(fix) cruise control - button lights up, but that's it
10) Driver corner light is a little... droopy
...
far down list) 16" wheels at some point, so the 15" can become dedicated snows. The rubber on the 15s is still good though, so we'll see how I feel come November.

Happy to be driving all 4 wheels through corners!

How'd they fit? I have a 2004 wagon and want to replace the stock black plastic ones with something prettier.

Drove to my friend Adam's house and swapped out a strut insert that was no longer functioning. It sounded like a maraca when I shook it.
