When it rains, it pours with these cars, eh?
Went from an oil pan, to a valve cover gasket leak, to the front seal leaking within the span of 9 days.
 Guess the previous owner never did any of the major maintenance, eh? Gotta order all this nonsense come Monday now  , not to mention pick up an oil pan from Tom, along with a host of other crap that I'll probably find out I need within the next few days.  If I could sell the car I would, but nobody wanted it when it was clean and leak free, doubt they would now. Oh well./emo

Re: When it rains, it pours with these cars, eh?
Yes, it seems that at a certain age all the rubber breaks apart.
It is unfortunate, but no different from any other 17 year old car really. You have to really like this car to be willing to do the major maintenance, because you have to justify the time and money involved, knowing you will never recover what you have to put in, in a monetary sense.

edit: That blue one is beautiful. I wanted that color, but couldn't find one for sale anywhere at the time. The hood matches it perfectly as well. Do you have STI BBS' on it too? Last edited by Mensaf; 11-29-2009 at 08:05 PM.
