Hello, all! My name is Ken and it's been a long time since I've posted a car on a forum. Many of you may remember me as DOHCEJ22E1 or EJ22D from other forums in the past from either the legacygt.com forum or other places, like rs25.com. That being said, it's good to be back here. First, let's do a short history review.
1. '97 Legacy (4eat), owned 2008-2010.
2. '98 Legacy Outback (4eat/no pic).
3. '98 Legacy L (5mt/no pic/first EJ22D).
4. '98 Legacy GT Limited (4eat/2nd EJ22D before going on to build a rash of them).
5. '98 Legacy GT (4eat).
6. '97 Legacy Outback Safari. (4eat).
7. '96 Legacy LSi (4eat/current Legacy).
I picked up the LSi on Spetember 11th, and it has issues, but nothing I haven't handled or dealt with before. It rides smoothly and the 4eat shifts equally as smooth once the transmission is warmed up and past 1st gear. I have only driven it something like 500mi before having to putting it to rest again. It's got head gasket issues, even being a reman, so I am saving up for an immediate EJ25D fusion build ('98 heads/'96 block for instant 11:1 compression ratio), which will hold me over until I build a 22D of some kind for it.
