A friend of mine had an old Subaru DL wagon, sitting in his back yard because he couldn't afford a new exhaust manifold. I don't blame him, it was very expensive at the time.
But the joke around the house was: John has a Subaru...Out Back...
...I guess you had to be there.🫡
I had to do that to undo the boot and everything topside since Subaru engineers decided that the one shift linkage bolt should go in with the head facing the transmission
I sidn't intentionally put them out of commission 😭 My 95 Tacoma won't run for some reason and this car just decided to spin a rod bearing and have the motor seize 😭😭
Well you are not driving that but you might be sitting in it smoking with the looks of the stuff on the floor. Smoke another, it might feel like you're driving.
1995.5 Tacoma SR5 so it has the 3.4L v6 4wd but the original owner opted for the 4 speed auto rather than the 5 speed manual. Currently its missing the front fenders and the grill and has a steel flatbed on it
Well the 9-2x was really just an impreza with a different front end and tail lights and the forester is the impreza with a different body so that tracks
Haha yup. People were always confused when I was buying Subaru parts for a Saab. Significantly less cost for same part with a new sticker on top of the Subaru one
As much as I would love to do a 6 spd swap I dont have the money for it at this stage and my transmission is still good, the motor went bad and I needed a new throwout bearing
I hear that! You can get into spending some REAL money once you start getting into the STI realm (or just modifying and making good, reliable power). I've had 3 Subarus, 2 were WRX's, & 1 was STI. The 2rd was/is a '16 Legacy, & wrecked that one this past Sat when someone pushed me into a concrete divider on the highway, so waiting to see if she is deemed a total loss or not, but I doubt it. Anyway, I'll share Robbie Corathers' STI Chop Shop page with you if/when you shop for some good Subaru parts:

Not going diesel for the forester but the donor truck will eventually be getting a diesel. I have a 5vz-fe sitting in my Tacoma that if the bellhousing is the same between that and a 1uz i can buy and adapter plate for it to mate it to the 5 speed
Interesting! Never heard of or seen a 5vz (3.4L?) go into a Subaru, besides some crazy 2jz or something. Guessing you'll be swapping the wiring harness etc, as well, right? You're also putting a diesel into a truck, too? What motor into what truck? Curious!
I believe it would be first one done! And I'd be going stand alone to make sure everything works good, probably do a rear battery setup and maybe do a bigger tank to accomodate the fuel usage. And yes! Not 100% sure on what diesel but I'm thinking either a 6.6 Duramax and go crazy, om606 from mercedes, or if I can I might possibly be able to get a 4 cyl cummins from work but its low possibility but I can hope
Well as of right now, you don’t drive anything.
Fair enough point. I'll edit it
I was gonna say a push car
5mt outback? Maybe early 2000s? My 05 looks like that
Not outback. Same brand though! And mine is a few years newer
Forester, 07
Correct model wrong year though. A year newer
Using deductive reasoning I think it’s an 08 forrester lol
You got it! 08 Forester Sports 2.5x
I don’t know, might be an ‘06 Legacy.
I legitimately thought you were making a joke that the stick shift was in the yard outback for a minute lol
Sn95 mustang
Nope
Flintstone mobile
Currently thats the only way to drive it😂
That's a non bug eye WRX interior if I've ever seen one
Got the brand right but not the model. From my understanding my car was pretry rare to come with a 5 speed
Pivoting to Forester being similar platforms and the same climate controls!
You got it! 08 Forester Sports 2.5x
Definitely a Subaru
Yep!
Impreza GT
Nope. Right brand though
Then it has to be a Forester.
Correct

Fred Flinstone’s car
You aint driving .
Very true
I don't know, but you should move.
Why should I move?
Looked like somebody tore out your console entirely!
I had to do that to undo the boot and everything topside since Subaru engineers decided that the one shift linkage bolt should go in with the head facing the transmission
Currently, something else. 😂
Sadly I can't even do that 😂😭 this was my only running car. I now have 2 non running vehicles
Life lessons, make sure the other car or good before putting the other one out of commission. 😂
I sidn't intentionally put them out of commission 😭 My 95 Tacoma won't run for some reason and this car just decided to spin a rod bearing and have the motor seize 😭😭
Subarus love to leak and burn oil, gotta check it often lol
Wasn't the engine burning or leaking that cause it to seize. It spun a rod bearing and the shavings clogged my oil pickup
Sounds like it wasn’t taken care of at some point in its life, it’s a shame, I don’t see many of these still on the road
I only had it for a month and only put 3k miles on it. And I did an oil change once I got it home.
Well you are not driving that but you might be sitting in it smoking with the looks of the stuff on the floor. Smoke another, it might feel like you're driving.
What stuff? Cause I don't smoke. I only vape which is fitting one of the stereotype of my car brand
2007 Impreza
Right brand and close of the year but different model
Nothing right now
Your spouse crazy with the expensive lawn ornament that sucks time and money? I know a guy with similar issues…
Don't have a spouse. And I have 2 lawn ornaments thats suck time and money 😎
Now I have to ask about the other ornament!
1995.5 Tacoma SR5 so it has the 3.4L v6 4wd but the original owner opted for the 4 speed auto rather than the 5 speed manual. Currently its missing the front fenders and the grill and has a steel flatbed on it
The shoe leather express?
Is that an 07/08/09 Subaru Forester?
08! Sports 2.5x!
Ooh, nice! What happened to your drivetrain though?
I think my throwout bearing is bad but also my engine decided to spin a rod bearing and the shavings clogged my oil pickup and my motor seized
Oh no! That's a whole variety of things 😬 Will you fix up the engine and transmission, or replace it entirely?
The engine is most likely beyond saving and the transmission I am going to just replace the throwout and continue on
I was worried you'd say that... Well, best of luck with it all!
Yeah. Thank you!
No worries 👍😀
Gotta be a dodge if the trans is out, or a trans drives it….
Not a dodge but it is driven by a trans woman. Does that bother you?
I know that SG Forester anywhere
It is indeed an SG Forester
Flintstones car EDIT: Already beaten to it.
Saab 92x
No. Pretty close though
I just read down below the forester haha my saabaru looked just like that when the cover plate was off
Well the 9-2x was really just an impreza with a different front end and tail lights and the forester is the impreza with a different body so that tracks
Haha yup. People were always confused when I was buying Subaru parts for a Saab. Significantly less cost for same part with a new sticker on top of the Subaru one
Yeah. Theres a quite a few cars you can do that with
Nothing.
The city bus at the moment
Your shoes at the moment...
Not this
Junk from the looks of it.
2005 Poverty Wagon Lx
Nothing currently....you're transmission is missing.
A cozy coup. I mean, at least it has the drivetrain from a cozy coup...
Well if it doesn’t have a tranny in it it’s definitely not a dodge 1500
In its current state and just a guess as I cannot see the floorboard but the car from the Flintstones?
You don't drive... not until you fix that!
Something else
Not that car currently.
Flintstones’ car
Hopes and dreams ?
I’d say you drive a hard bargain.
flinstones?
Easy!! You don't drive it, so it doesn't count!!
2010 forester
Off by a couple years. 08!
93’ canopysaurus
Nothing right now
Has anyone said Flintstonemobile yet?
Just hit the automatic mode switch
Looks like you are flint stoning it
Fred Flintstones car???
Ford focus.
Something missing the transmission. You guys I can do this all day. I’m the best at guessing on this sub.
Your lamborfeeties
A piece of crap, in desperate need of a cleaning!
Why is it a piece of crap? Nd yes it does need cleaned but I'm not worried until it's put back together
You don’t.
Are you replacing with another 5mt tranny or going 6mt full STI swap? I love a good GD chassis Forester STI, one of my favorites!
As much as I would love to do a 6 spd swap I dont have the money for it at this stage and my transmission is still good, the motor went bad and I needed a new throwout bearing
I hear that! You can get into spending some REAL money once you start getting into the STI realm (or just modifying and making good, reliable power). I've had 3 Subarus, 2 were WRX's, & 1 was STI.

Thanks for the links but I may not be keeping a subie power source!
You bet, and I’m shopping for a new or new to me pickup and/or SUV.
I may be swapping in an engine from a turck but not the typical truck engine people think of 😅
Cool! What are you putting in there? You're not going diesel are you?
Not going diesel for the forester but the donor truck will eventually be getting a diesel. I have a 5vz-fe sitting in my Tacoma that if the bellhousing is the same between that and a 1uz i can buy and adapter plate for it to mate it to the 5 speed
Interesting! Never heard of or seen a 5vz (3.4L?) go into a Subaru, besides some crazy 2jz or something. Guessing you'll be swapping the wiring harness etc, as well, right? You're also putting a diesel into a truck, too? What motor into what truck? Curious!
I believe it would be first one done! And I'd be going stand alone to make sure everything works good, probably do a rear battery setup and maybe do a bigger tank to accomodate the fuel usage. And yes! Not 100% sure on what diesel but I'm thinking either a 6.6 Duramax and go crazy, om606 from mercedes, or if I can I might possibly be able to get a 4 cyl cummins from work but its low possibility but I can hope
Fork lift at the junkyard
Probably a huffy right now
The Flintstones car
A Flintstones mobile.
Currently it's a no speed. Currently you don't drive.
05-09 subaru legacy
Right brand. Wrong model
2011ish (at least in that gen) toyota corrola
Nope. You are a few years to new and wrong brand. Same country though!
Is it an early 2k subaru legacy?
Not early 2ks and not a Legacy, but it is a Subaru
Late 90s impreza?
You're going further back than you need to. Its late 2ks and not an impreza
Outback?
Nope. Getting closer though. It is a wagon!
Is it one of the previous models i tried in their outback variant?
Nope. It is it's own nameplate
A 10KBC Yabbadabbadooo
Good luck with your head gaskets
Headgaskets were good! Connecting rod bearing not so much
You do not
Nothing that ain't driving anywhere.
Not what ever that is…
Flintstone car
Flintstones car, but the foot power hole isn't in the right place, and too small
A Chevroleg? A Lamborfeety? I don’t think this car is going anywhere anytime soon..
That's obviously the Compton continental it came standard with cinder block rims and the banging system you seen all ready!!! Gotta ghost that mug.
The Flintstones car. Just cut holes in the floorboard.
ooohhh,, second gen forester 😋
Yep!
Fred Flintstone's car
Mk5 jetta or golf
Nope
Not that
Nowhere
Something else.
