Yeah it definitely feels slow compared to my caldina. I think it's in limp mode honestly, that's what it feels like. It pretty much feels na.
I'll get it looked at and go from there. It's one of my dream cars but I can't let my excitement overtake good judgement.yeah dude find out a little more if you can, if you are flooring the pedal and don't feel it specifically punchier than caldina then something wrong with it. could be as minor as boost leaks, slightly less minor but something to cost in like not remapped if turbo is not stock, or could be much worse things.

I definitely expected to haul ass compared to what I'm driving now especially being a manual but man it just lacked the punch I thought it would have. I won't have access to an sti as I'm in Hicksville.(Blenheim)gearing on wrx is not ideal, the sti is really where its at if you want significant upgrade in straight line vs the caldina, needless to say in corners the wrx will show its strengths sooner. since you mentioned engine was changed i wonder if it has had other changes such as turbo , and perhaps without a retune. one of trademarks of these cars in stock setup is that sudden 'back in your seat' torque hit in old school turbo lag fashion which doesn't take too long given it's a nice little snail. definately test drive others, especially sti version if you can.
I'm going to take it to a local shop here for them to look at, owner said the last owner did the engine swap but no proof. I'm really unsure on it's history.
I would be swapping it for my caldina. It's pretty tidy, drives really nice especially round corners like you said.
Don't get me wrong it wasn't like super slow or anything just didn't have that punch I was expecting, my gtb on boost went like a rocket.
I wonder if there's something wrong with it. -
So I test drive the v7, it just didn't feel very fast? It was boosting to 0.9 bar and i took it right up to redline but it just never felt quick. Especially compared to my gtb and even my current car which is a caldina gtt. I thought wrx's were suppose to be slow up until 4k then just take off?
-
So after selling my gtb and driving a caldina for the last month or so I think I'm going to buy a v7 wrx, it's actually been one of my dream cars for a long time. I've found a cheapish one in manual that I really like, high kys on the body but a local shop did an engine swap for one with 144 khs at 300khs so should be relatively decent.
Hopefully I get it, bloody excited. -

No pick a parts anywhere near me unfortunatelyPick A Part - Grab a new pump, toss it in bleed it etc? I've never done one myself.
Problem with that one is that it doesn't have the big plastic manifold by the pump, and I have no idea what I'd be getting into trying to take that out.This is might help
-
Anyone know about the leaks on the bh5 looks like the orange gasket has deteriorated on the pump.

I get people going wtf is a slammed wagon doing with a trailer and dirt bikes on gravel and big bumps, doesn't even scrape.

Anyone have some info on how to do this? Mines leaking.

I teed mine off hose 11 if I remember correctly. Then mounted on right hand side of dash out of the waySo I’ve recently picked up an electronic boost gauge from Savage Performance and am wanting to know which vacuum line to tee into to get it to work, ideally I’d like to get it all working before I do the hose 10 and hose 1 mod but if it’s easiest should I just run it through the hose 10 tee? Also where have people mounted their gauge? Can’t decide where to mount mine
-
Yeah that road was bloody shocking.Now there is an idea!
Having just done it, SH 1 around kaikoura is a bit of an event at the moment, it was pretty rough in a low car with coilovers. I think I got airboure at a couple points...
The rest of it is

If I can get the doors to me from Dunedin I'll give it a goi don't see why not... but again, don't rely on me for this
-
Reckon I could swap rear glass in?i'd hazard a guess that front door+glass fit, and rear door fits but not rear glass..... thats just a guess, based on me eye balling the two vehicles
Also if noone on here knows, try uklegacy (uk) or subyclub (aus)
-
No one?

Anyone know if 99 be doors fit BH wagon? Some Muppet hit my car with I think a trailer and dented it up. Finding a gold wagon is bloody hard and don't want to pay $$$ to get it fixed so thinking the be doors might fit? Would maybe need to change glass?
-
Did 750khs in it, went bloody well. Scraped on the exhaust somewhat on the way to chch. But on the way back was sweet.
Used just under half tank to chch and a night/day of driving around town.

I'd potentially be interested in the v7 seats
-
I don't own one but its the aggressive styling, Like the flares and big spotlights I love about themGenuine question here.
Whats the appeal about outbacks compared to legacy's?
So many lowered outbacks but damn, they can look good!

I've got coilovers, front strut brace, 20mm rear sway bar and 19mm front sway bar. Coilovers made the biggest difference for me. Car feels like its on rails

Advan racing, dirt&trial completion wheels. -
I've never seen another one personally, I just like unique stuff. I enquired about the full kit but they said a staff member took it......

Took it into get scanned and had the errors for o2 sensor so was in limp mode, crankshaft sensors too. .
ATook to Subaru mechanic here then we noticed last bubbling in a number of places and then turbo was smoking so I could assume there's just a lot wrong with it.
Decided to pass on it.
