jdouglas@mikescarffsubaru.com Been a couple of years, but good prices and service - near Seattle.

No Offense, we (USA) did get those as I've seen all of them, except the GX Sun sport, in person. The GT was a non-turbo w/the raised roof, which was rare. I apologize to the OP for the thread-jack. Edit: They were all '94s released @ the end of the 1st Gen Legacy run.

First post states it's too $$...wait...states 'flatbed' tow, so maybe they don't have a tow vehicle?...but Yeah.

Tangent: Alpine sport...I thought that was the one-year only model, along w/the following - from CARS101.com: These are One-year only models - 1994 - per Cars101.com.

Look up using a tow dolly w/the front wheels on the dolly and rear wheels dragging. I've done it multiple times buy disconnecting the driveline @ the rear diff. There are 4 12mm bolts, so it's easy. Uhaul is <$100. if one-way 1/2 that if you return it to the same place. But since you're up north may be different. It's covered on here more than once. Of course, you need something big enough for the tow dolly + the WRX or Uhaul won't rent it. Do the WRX's brakes work? I don't know your road/route/rules but my dad towed a VW Bug behind his Chevy truck - w/just a chain - across WA state on I90 @ 60 MPH, w/my sister driving the bug....no problem. I'm sure that GT could handle that too.

Just FYI. Stock size on the '96-'99 OB was the 205/70R15. The 215/60R16 is the same height, and was 1st used on the '98 Forester....if that's what you have. If the 5-speed dies, you could put in a GT trans as it's the same 4.11 FD ratio, and is geared differently.....as is the '98 Forester. Unless I got it backwards? OB: Model Range Trans.

Rollers were a '96-'98 thing. '89-'95 were Tappet (?) and HLA. Per GD:

Donated. Thanks!

I've not personally dealt w/the 1.8, so no 'hands-on' but it 'should' be basically a less powerful EJ22. Wikipedia Link....note this includes versions the USA never rec'd....and we got what was called the EJ18E , since ours did have individual fuel injectors (I think) - like the 2.2 and 2.5.

There should be a serial number (?) on the back of the engine that someone on here or online might be able to decode? I don't think those older engines had the VIN stamped on them. But if it's an EJ18 they should all be the same.

Due to the EGR and TPS/IAC (?), looks to be an EJ18? Out of '93-'97 ish Impreza.

My normal 1st thing to check (including the TPS and IAC) is the CTS/coolant temp sensor as it can exhibit these symptoms. Sounds like it's running rich? The CTS doesn't always throw a code. Note: Don't confuse the gauge sensor w/the actual CTS sensor that tells the ECU what's going on....Google it if unclear.

Nope...as stated NO turbos @ all.

No turbos in the US from '95-'01. This is the EJ25D engine in the '96-'99 Legacy GT, LSi, Legacy Outback, SUS, '98 Forester and Impreza RS.

I was thinking stuck parking braked due to cold, but that doesn't explain smoke???

Sold car 2 years ago. local kid bought it, hooned it, and now HG need done. :-( He texted me last month to ask what HG I used (EJ22T).

HI, I kinda went thru this exercise w/a WRX (yes, I made the mistake of buying an Auto-equipped WRX - Can you spell LAG?). I looked this up HERE. Not exactly yours, but may worth a read.

The lid for the fuses under the hood ID's the fuses. As does the cover for the fuses under the dash (for Legacy @ least.) Also,Google found this: https://www.autogenius.info/subaru-impreza-1992-1998-fuse-box-diagram/

^+1 Check fuses - if it was 'trashed' likely blew 1 or 10.

^EG33 may be longer than the EZ? Found this on here, per Emily @ CCrE: EZ30: Engine lengthEZ30 = estimated 445mm = 17.5" - but assuming this is w/OUT the crank? And a very informative EG33 site i came across.

That Subaru w/that EJ25D and w/those tires would be a 'GT' (non-turbo) in the USA. They should be fine, but MIGHT rub on the back strut spring perch. Also, your MPG and quickness (0-60) will we be negatively affected...a bit. Got any mates w/a REX (WRX)? Those should be 55's, too. Could bolt-on to test.

Manual button won't apply on the '95+ models. ......My mistake on that. I know I've got it to work on the '95-'98 models, but can't recall HOW. I had a '98 OB that I had to diagnose. I found this, too- "EndWrench" was Subaru tech support for USA mechanics (I believe). They published a bunch of articles that had inside info. Used to be a website which is no longer online, but this site 'captured' many of them: http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/--Articles--/--Endwrench--/Files/

I'd read/try this, too: https://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/trans.html Specifically for the Gen 1 ('89-'94) Subarus, but supposedly works for Gen 2 ('95-'98) too - which are both considered Phase 1. The one you posted states it should work on Phase 1 & 2, which I find doubtful?? I didn't compare the instructions.
