No. I had my car running up to 15 degrees off both ways and AFR's above 17:1 when things were not reading correctly while tuning. It still started like a champ and idled ok. Of course it had no power but it never stalled. Stalling could be oxygen sensor, plugs, wires, coil, ignitor, stuffed engine and a whole pile of other stuff. I don't want to sound like a dick but don't buy it unless it is running 100%. Sometimes these things take a lot of time and money to finally correct and you don't want someone else's problem.ellover009":116xhfw6 said:adjust the timing belt since it's 3 degrees off, hopefully that will fix the issue, I think he mentioned that after 15mins the car want's to stall out, could that be related to timing?

I don't know how to drive a manual yet.
If I go with the celica If I can insure it cheap enough it would compliment my acura rl.
If I go with the forester xt I would probably fit the bill completely and I wouldn't need my old car.
It snows where I live part of the year.
I live in an apartment so I don't have a garage I can strip the car and leave parts hanging around for extended amounts of time.
I have done some small things on my car as long as it doesn't require me getting under the vehicle.

I knew the theory of it right down to how the transmission worked but I stalled a couple of times on the way home from buying it. I got the previous owner to drive me since they know the car well and if you are passenger you can pay more attention to noises and the feel of the car etc.

I think I read the thread a long time ago and remembered your story, reason why In my mind I knew it was something I could try.
By the way guys how does the alltrac split power? is it fwd bias or rwd bias or neutral 50/50?
tw2":337ljlsi said:If you want lots of power, the alltrac takes a LOT of work. The forester is ok but is isn't the easiest base to work from and it weights a lot. Some of the wrx parts can be used, in some cases you need to do custom work due to the different chassis- front mount intercooler, exhaust etc. I would save for a car which does meet your performance requirement or at least is a lot closer and only requires simple bolt on mods like intake, exhaust, slight boost increase, maybe even intercooler. Once you get into new turbo's, manifolds, cams, ecu's, fuel systems it all goes downhill sharply from there. $10k later and it still isn't how you want it.
