Turns out it was the wheel hub and bearing that broke and caused a loss of steering for the entire car. Was going to pay for the service to be done yesterday until the mechanic called me and told me that it's not worth dumping anymore money into the car. Photo is attached for the frame in the rear, as you can see it's literally hanging and not attached to anything at all. I have no other choice but to junk the car. The entire unibody is completely rusted to hell. There's no possibility I'll get my $3000 back from the person I've bought it from nor will he attempt to reason with me that this was a dangerous situation I was in while driving. Lessons learned.

Oh, yeah that's a total write off.
Do you have space (or desire) to pull the motor and other accessories to swap into a roller? |

Desire, absolutely. Funds to find a roller, not at this moment. Taxes should come in a few days and if I find one it's gotta be towed from northern Ohio or in the middle of Indiana or Virginia, somewhere.

That power plant and drive train will probably fit in a lot of models from 1998 to 2006, not just WRX and STI, but Impreza RS and TS, as well as Outback Sport chassis. You'd have to swap out wiring harness, and to make it a lot easier, stay with the same transmission style (nothing complicates a job like trying to fab in a clutch pedal).

My bugeye is currently at Turn In Concepts to deal with a bunch of oil leaks, but I've reached a point that a 'major' repair would be the end of that car - there's so much rust underneath it that it's now worth dumping too much money into. But it's a fun/weekend car now anyway, not my primary transport. |

you could swap everything over. It's a MAJOR undertaking, but could be done. |

I'll check it out. Funny enough, I was about to call and schedule a time to come in with you guys to look at my car to get a tune.

First time being on the website, if it's the right one I searched up. Would you have a link?

Lively times on “teh thread” over the years. Now just a shadow of its former self. I think Facebook and antisocial media deserve most of the blame. And Subaru for doing as little as possible since the early 2000s.

Facebook and internecine fighting led to a split which ended in the generation of two independent (and oppositional) Cincinnati message boards. Both of which died quick deaths as there wasn't enough traffic to support them, and feelings were so hurt that users never made it back to NASIOC.
So now, it's just us tidying up around the headstones. It's not just 'teh thread'. All of NASIOC got hit by this trend - just look at low volume of new posts in the general FS sections. |

Don't forget the Ohio Subarus forum.

Pretty dead on NASIOC in general - just look at the various FS sections as evidence. Locally, I think the activity went to Facebook, or just ceased to be.
I miss install days, but I'm getting a little too old and fat to be crawling under cars anymore. |

I'm not sure if it will happen this year (usually it's in September), but Joseph Subaru usually hosts a pretty big meet.

Waiting for my facebook to delete before I create a new one and join a local group on there but I am looking to get an axle back exhaust for my wrx and wonder if there are any shops that would be recommended in the NKY area for an install? Should be pretty effortless to install it, I just dont have access to tools, or a place to do it at my apartment. And I really really hate being under a car . I dont mind paying someone.
