subarus are always 4x4

real good cars but the only problem with that brand is the weak transmission
of corse thats not a factor if your a regular driver, but bring that car to the tracks everyweek-end and u'll end up with problems after couple months

its still one of my fav. wagon tho, real nice car !

Two of my buddies have that car too and I concur. Top 5 in cars I'd want to get.

The wheels look nice by the way.

Thanks all. yeah i been thinkin about boxing it here... just never know when a cop might pull me over or something and.. yeah that = bad. But a problem came up just now driving home from the movie store... the front left wheel is squeaking now... its bothering the hell out of me. Anyone know what caused this/how to fix it?

EDIT: a different angle on the wheel.. closer as well

always wanted a subie outback from that year. theyre a sick car and with a few "adjustments" you can tear up the rally scene while having a go anywhere car that you can "sleep" in the back of :wink:

Hell yeah. heres my next question: Should i invest in the money tosupe it up, or should i wait to get a newer/different, more powerful and possibly longer lasting car? i got this one used for my birthday/graduation this year, and its already got 75k miles on it... worth investing in or worth saving for a new car?

keep it the way it is dont waste money on parts
if you really pationate about about your car go for it
but the min u modifie the engine u gotta be ready to invest
alot of time in it, and most of the time its pretty useless to
add parts

Alright, what car did those wheels come off of, do you know the offset?

Subaru wheel bearings are pretty picky about offset, get much way from +48mm and you can start wearing out those bearings fast...

Take it from me. I have spent over 20k modding my 06 WRX. Let's put it this way, I'm making 320whp and 343wtq down on a ball-breaker mustang dyno. Stage 2 STi makes around 290whp here. It's balls fast, but I am looking at about 6-9k in upgrades coming up here in the next few months, just to keep it on the road. I'm an extreme condition user though, the car was designed for this little turbo pushing 11.5psi and grandma to the store use, I'm running 24psi out of a big ole turbo runnign my stuff on the track, and to 7k rpms daily. You may not want to mod that car too much, but some decent upgrades like suspension and whatnot could never hurt.
