yea thats with the 1.8 thats in it now. the 2.4 i need to decide if i want 500 or 600hp. and 11s are in the bag. unfortunately evo and subies are the same at that level and either will spit gearboxes fairly regularly unless a heap of coin is thrown at it. the other option is to go for a auto convers...

i bought a full gasket set for my ej25 dohc gen2 outback from the USA. it came with 4 rocker cover gaskets. 2 suited my dohc and other 2 didnt. maybe they suit the avcs heads. the kit didnt specify gen2 and i really only bought it for the head gaskets.
