Why do Subaru's run at high revs

I can't remember exactly off hand, but the Liberty 2.2 and the OB 2.5 I have seem to run at around 2700 rpms at about 100k's where as my commodore, my wifes daewoo, and the 2010 falcon at work sit around 1800 rpms at 100ks' (all above are auto's) Why is this? The boxer engine design? The gearing in ...

Toonga don't make it any harder for me :???: I'm already struggling with my decision :( The engine removal is already daunting for me :???: but I've got time, patience and the internet on hand. Hmm I think most of the people suggesting part out are a bit biased :eek: in that they might want some par...

At the moment, I'm thinking I might have a go at taking the motor out of outback and try and fix the overheating, if this works then swap the stuts in both cars so I have a lowered around town Outback and a raised Liberty for trips away. If the motor issue becomes too hard and expensive for me then ...

Engine pic added
Those Outbacks rims are only 15", the 16" and a lift will look heaps better ;-)
Ok so its +1 for part out and 0 to fix and keep.

98 Outback Dilema fix and keep or break up?

I bought a 92 Liberty yesterday and new struts and springs ($1100)were too expensive for me, to raise it, then on Gumtree I saw this unlicenced 98 Outback and I bought it today with the intention of wrecking it and putting the struts and springs etc on my liberty. But besides the hail damage the eng...

I think I'm going to go just the 96-98 outback struts, not sure if I should get standard length HD springs or longer HD springs.
I have noticed when people do this the rear wheels look like they move forward a bit?
