Congrats to Wag on an excellent purchase! Not sure if your previous ride was a Subie, but its good to see that we are growing in numbers!

Everyone post pics of your Subie! [My pic is coming tomorrow...after a carwash!]

'96 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT (silver)

**UPDATE**
Finally took some pics with the Canon S230 I just stole from my dad this weekend (convinced him to upgrade to a Canon SD450, so I get his old camera and retire my A40!)

My car was parked next to my neighbor's '05 Legacy GT. While I envy his machine and plan on upgrading once I'm done with school, you can definately see the family legacy (no pun intended) in the roofline and C-pillars of both cars.

'78 Subaru 1600 wagon.

If you want it, it's probably still sitting in a junkyard in Ranger, TX after dropping all its oil on I-30.

Found a pic of the same model. I just realized that I don't own a single picture of my wagon. I guess that's because it only lasted four months before it died.

Spinners pfft. I'm totally anti-bling, anti-rice. I just need to paint the intercooler black.

It's a rather beastly setup.
EJ18 stock engine (8.6:1 compression)
Subached Up/Downpipe
TD04 turbo (currently set at 7psi)
Link Plus ECU
JDM Aftermarket FMIC kit (modified for US spec use)
V5 STI struts all around
Apex EDM Aftermarket springs
JDM STI Carbon Fiber Strut Tower Bar
Megan Racing Rear strut Tower Bar
2004 STI front/rear sway bars

I'm looking into building up an EJ22t right now for more power.

It was kind of neat. It was a wagon version of the brat. The spare tire was located on top of the air cleaner. The big gripe was that the dash was built at the same level as the bottom of the window so if you had anything on the dash and the window was open the stuff would fly out the window on a turn.

I had a crappy little Justy or something a fews years back (we're talking like 12yrs ago). It was like 95hp, Automatic w/no power steering. I couldn't steer without moving. Needless to say I had some huge pythons after driving that car.:D

Here's the new one, one more time.

22B owns any American Subaru bar none. Even if it it slower than the newer STI's nothing beats right hand drive and owning one of of only 400 units each handmade, and having aluminum body panels and having fellow 22B owners like Colin McRae and Nicky Grist.

do you guys think the new engine in the 06 models (non turboed) will have any problems? I'm deciding between an 05 and 06 regular impreza wagon for my new car in a few months. The price differences between the 05 and 06 is very low so that is not a factor.

Heh interesting that you say that.. I was just going to ask everyone how they feel their car should be perceived? (Rice box, respectable all-around car, etc.)
