Alright guys it's no sti, wrx or xt. it's just a simple 97 outback
I acquired the car from my aunt for 400$. She paid 3500$ for it about 6mnths ago.
The crank pulley key way is just so wore out and messed up the pulley literally wobbles around. The engine also has around 200k on top of that everyone knows the ej25d had defective head gaskets around 100k and they hadn't ever been replaced. I've ordered a jdm ej25d "i'll be replaceing the gaskets with cometic gaskets". The car is currently auto as well but will be used as my daily driver/recreation vehicle for a while before i start doing anything to it. I Bought the car to carry my kayaks and mtn bikes on.
Future mods will be
5spd swap
lowering the car on either lgt suspension or wrx suspension
larger wrx wheels
all in all i'll have around 1500$ invested in the car to begin with
