Nice cars and great gas mileage for a 7 mine gets 9 in town and at best 17 hwy, and Lear the reason your subaru gets so low gas mileage is due to the 2.5 liter my 2.0 turboed gets 23 in town and usually 27 hwy, I have gotten 32 hwy doing 100 mph on a long road trip.

I feel really guilty leaving it outside. Its lived inside for the past 26 years so its survived with zero interior fade and the paint is still next to perfect. At least I have a car cover for it.

I'm not gonna lie, I stared at the first two pictures for at least a full minute trying to figure out what the hell part that was off your FD lol, it looked like valve train components but I couldn't figure out what is was until I scrolled down haha.

^True story. It was like pulling teeth to get them to ship my resonated midpipe, and then to get a tracking number, it was like they were doing me a big favor. Pretty shitty customer service. I also know I'm not the only one, I had a friend who ordered a GReddy catch can from them that never came, he ended up having to file a credit card charge back to get his money back after a 2 months wait.
