Nice, I kind of want my wife to get a Subaru wagon since they get ok mileage and can hold a lot more. I definitely understand wanting something more efficient than the 4runner.

Nice, looks like you will need a different throttle cable bracket as that one looks to be for the manual trans. That's easy to fabricate. Also as we discussed a tensioner, AIC check valve, throttle body gasket and manifold gasket just off first glance. The long bolt is there and throttle body bolts look to be there but those are easy to buy.

Dont do it!!! Subarus are not the most reliable. I thought same thing, got wife a wagon. Biggest mistake ever.

Looks like I'm going to do a rear axle seal tomorrow.
When I take long road trips it tends to blow out a very little grease.
It happens on 500 mile trips but city and smaller into town trips nothing.
I need to check my breather.
But while I'm in the warm Vegas I'll probably do it. I've done it before just the seal. Not problems so I'll throw another one in real quick.

dang that was quick! didnt think anyone would notice.
Yeah i had the timing belt, water pump.... whole nine yards done...
The dealer said the water pump was leaking for some time (i know i had to keep putting coolant in it) and it had build up a ton of dirt beneith it. The crank bolt was already loose. (i was already planning on replacing it and had them install the new one) the last person (before i purchased the truck) who installed the timing belt put the lower crank gear on backwards and it was tearing up the "good year" belt.
so i am very lucky things had not gone south before this change and i caught everything wrong with it.
While i had the manifold off i replaced the valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, wires and supercharger.
I am still going to finalize all the wires hoses and what not to make it look better, i was tired after working on it for 7 hours under the car port in 35 deg weather that i just wanted to finish and go inside.
Thus far everything works great pulls strong, no strange noises knocks clicks or thuds.
A few problems with running after the install. turned out my buddy installed the throttle body gasket ass backwards so it had a vacuum leak. but pulled that off a reversed it then it was all good to go.
I get a p0171 CEL and thats a lean condition. no knock pings no other noises while driving besides "whine and hiss" from my CAI
looks like fuel add ons are in my future.

i paid the dealer for the TB WP parts, then got it back and 2 days later i did the SC. I would rather have a shop do the TB WP because my tool are limited and working outside in 30 deg weather kinda sucks.

$580 magically turns into a 7th injector. Anyone have any tips for the install?
fuel pumps are easy and the injector part..... but the module?
