hey all, i have a 1999 subaru impreza RX which has done roughly around 220000 kms.. so i took my car to the mechanics and they told me that my head gasket was gone. and they suggested that i get a second hand engine and get that installed rather than repairing the head gasket. i was wondering what e...

just wondering who lives in brisbane area.... we should meet up with our subiis one day :P haha

ah that sucks... so far everything is fine in my car.. its great on fuel aswell.. i havnt checked to see how far it goes with a full tank.. coz i usually only put 40 bucks in.. but even with 40 bucks it lasts me over a week.. and i drive it everyday

its done 150000 ks.. the 2.0l is great i find. got enough power to move the car around. haha

finally got my phone back.. so now i can upload some pics of my car!

hey all... was wondering if anyone knows a good mechanic shop around Brisbane or Logan for my impreza rx?... it needs wheel balancing and alignment i guess coz when i get upto about 100km/h on the hwy, it starts shaking and rattling...

so any info would be great thanks

unless there is anyone is Brisbane area who can give me a good deal??

' MY99' and 'MY00'... i honestly dont know which one mine would be my car is a 5sp manual 1999 subaru impreza RX 4 door sedan w...

i also read that u can fit WRX parts and motors etc into the rx

is that true?

Very true, I have the same 2.0l engine that would be in the RX and for a 2.0l its great and does everything I ask of it..... but when I added bigger tyres and the likes for offroading and it being such a small engine then power is really an issue. At one point my 0-100 was around 19 seconds when th...

yeh im not suprised that the performance was downgraded, my brother did that to his one and it basically ruined the suspension etc

im hoping that my RX keeps in good condition for a couple of years, 4 or 5 at the max, during that time i'll do slight upgrades to it, performance wise and body wise.. i dont want to spend 5 grand on a decent performance kit, i could put that money towards a WRX, so then after approx 5 years i'll ha...
