r/GC8

Honestly, these are an amazing upgrade from the OEM fogs, the beam pattern and light output are way better than stock, and they fit in the OEM fog light bumper pods!

If you gotta have a middle seat… might as well get the Subie seat! 💺

I have to change my timing belt and i’m looking for the water pump, my gc8 is a v1 1994 ej20g and i was browsing the internet and i found the rcm water pump and also the oem one but in the oem i have to buy all separate parts like thermostat, gasket and cover thermo etc.

According to my vin and partsouq webpage my water pump is the 2111AA026. Does anyone have experience with rcm one and do you know if it fits with my v1 impreza.

Some idiot tried to push it out the wrong way at some point

Hello subi-heads! Im currently working on a 98 2.5rs I have had for 8 years sitting in the garage waiting. My father and I recently dropped in a clean EJ25. Completed that and discovered the fuel pump and tank were worthless. Dropped the rear end and replaced those as well. We still have some work to do to get this thing moving but I wanted to pick your brains on these cars. This body is solid, only 80k Miles. No rust on the body, almost 0 rust underneath. I want to turn this car into a fun little tuner to daily.

Here are my questions.

What exhaust system can I run to get that signature Subie rumble. Obviously need the UEL headers….I’ve read maybe an early 2000s wrx exhaust and have a muffler shop cut and rotate the flange?

What are some mods that make these things better?

What parts can be interchangeable from a wrx or sti that can I put in without heavy modification Suspension? Seats? Etc.

Later on down the road I dream of converting this thing to a Turbo EJ platform….i know that this requires changes to the harness, swapping a transmission etc. is it better to get a custom adapter harness to work with the current harness? Or find a wrecked wrx or sti and take the whole motor and harness form that?

Open to any suggestions or ideas. I’m new to this model

Experienced people...how bad is this rust? Im really afraid i might have to replace this roof. I got this car recently (it was abandoned). The roof was wrapped, but after 10 years of neglect, the wrap dryed and peeled off, leaving this mess of exposed metal.
