We have had a few serious ecomodders with Subarus. Zerohour did cool things, but then bought a Mini, and disappeared. Who had the new blue Subaru with Plasti-Dip on the front?
I miss my 1999 Forester, but I do not remember why. Was it all of the gas that she used or the repairs that cost more than fuel? Was it replacing the head gasket? There was one very much like mine for sale up here for $1,200. She looked nice from the road, but what was wrong with her that they asked so little? Well, it seems she sold a day or two ago, so I will never know.
I need to replace the head gasket in my Civic, not another Forester.
By the way, my Ultragauge showed Bacon consuming .28 GPH at idle.
A couple of things that I always try to share: In all of the research that I have done on Subarus I have seen one post suggesting to replace the head gasket when you change the timing belt. The other is yay! The Boxster engine has a lower center of gravity! Except your entire car is higher, so where is your center of gravity now?!
Seriously, I miss my Subaru, but I miss the girl who used to drive it more.
Both required a great deal of time and attention.
