    watch for Center diff probs - test by driving 20 mins at 100kph then do tight turning circles to feel for any binding or listen for noises

    watch for detonation problems on these, one dude on here brought one and cud not for the life of anyone fix it (or afford dollarwise to be bothered), so the car yard he brought if from allowed him to pick another car off the yard, only run 98 octane in it

    also rear diff bushes are common to go in these, you can vew them under the car, you Kwill see the cracks, and/or feel the diff movement

    100KM service if a garage does it will be round $750-$1000 (depending) for a full cambelt kit

    my advice... if you can afford it spend another 4K and get a single turbo BP legacy

    /quote]

    Dealer just came back to me and said he will replace cambelt for the same price!

    Hmm, ask if its a full kit, the full kit contains:

    - idler bearings

    - tensioner

    - cam belt

    - water pump

    - thermostat

    - cam seals

    like this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/engines/auction-422989407.htm

    also a oil pump service.. new O ring & crank seal, and tighten the screws with locktight (medium)

    all in the name of having it done properly.. not JUST a cam belt

    Thanks Man will do

    Thanks for all the feedback and advice guys!!! Whats tour view on this car?

    url]http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=424186677[/url]

    Would probably get a pretty penny back for that bonnet, should you decide to sell it to a turbo owner.. no point in that car having a stonking great scoop like that LOL!

    Lol!! Its definately the best looking legacy ive seen and test driven so far! Just unsure bout the loss of power and speed cos non turbo! Also its done 146,000kms

    Every car ive looked at has its ups and downs lol i just cant decide!!

    why dont you drive your car and feel when it stops producing decent torque? as that is when you want to be shifting, anything else is a waste of time oh and btw, fyi... dont listen to everyone elses i set my light to 6500 as everyones car is different, its not a guide. its a personal preferance. omg

    yeah i hear ya mate, i like it at 5500! omg!!!

  8.  pappu said:

    yea 6500 is pretty good..

    burt if i want the passengers to feel most acceleration thru the gears i do it at 5500 ..seems to get more "push" in the seat feel..

    although the 6500 may be quicker on a timed run..

    choose the one that suits u and try both lol..

    yeah i think i like 5500 just so i can see the it light up more often lol

    thanks guys!!!
