Finally, we got rid of the "Damn lumina" ( drove like a half dead fish, major PIA to work on )
and we now have a very nice 99 impreza outback sport"

slush box, she is a "car is a means to an end" person and i have been given the go ahead for slight mods wagon mafia sticker to be ordered, some nice alloy wheels and a "Big three" to the motor after that it'll take some work to get the "go ahead" for other stuff looking to add a subaru subwoofer at most not a lot i have planned for this car

and the lights are a hell of a lot better than my leggy lights i mean damn not fair

Nice one... for awhile Mrs Huffer was driving my old BD. We had a "salt n pepper" thing going on.

Get some tints on the car, that makes a huge difference to those vehicles. What about painting and installing your old rims?

Take the cross bars off the roof unless you haul stuff, it increases the aerodrag.

If you want some ideas of how easy it is to make these cars look good, even while stock, let me know. I used to rock a 00 LX in NZ. Same body, just different paint. :)

I should also mention that your first job on the car should be to drain and refill the 4EAT with standard ATF + bottle of Lubegard ATF Protectant.
