the 2.0l isnt powerful, but its far from being underpowered. Steer clear of the late 90s 2.5l outbacks. They have monumental headgasket issues, although the majority of them would have been fixed by now. 8k will pick you up a gen3 outback with a SOHC 2.5l. Thats where id be headed. alex Be wary of ...

Im sure EJ22 Y headers will also fit?

Outbacks dont have any lift blocks (at least in 3rd gen) it has a different body design that gives it about 20mm extra body lift, and then the strut/spring design gives it the rest. This is why they have a longer steering joint. Dont forget to reinforce the rear spring perch if you go raised spring...

Only one thing i can say - gearbox will fit. Gen 3 has 8 bolt just remove the pins and it'll become 8bolt box.

Correct.

I've never seen "limited edition" but they only came in as RX or RX Bilstien. Only thing about these Bilstien is only the struts they have installed & different Rims.

Bored at work, so a little update. In the end it took my repairer 3 months to get my car back to me after the Christmas 2011 hail storm damage. Defects I've found with the repairs so far: 2 hail dint's still on the body. 2 paint runs, one of the rear wing and one under the rear passenger door. Pain...

Handbrake.

Ive seen parts for SVX in Melbourne but the prices are so costly!
Rarely see SVX around in these days. Would be worth restoring to put back on the road.

How long did you have the engine running with gearbox oil in it? the white smoke would be residue from the cylinders as the gearbox oil is thick and not enough to 'wipe' it down from the rings. (surely you put gearbox oil in the front diff and automatic transmission fluid as well?!?!?) (as there is ...

Genuine or aftermarket?

ah yeah by 2 teeths might be nothing - wouldnt be worried about it but yes it may idle roughly. In one of my cars in the past I did advance the timing by 1 or 2 teeths to gain better power output to pre denote early.
