Default Done it again

Well it's been a long time since I was here, popped in and out occasionally and got myself a new Impreza

I dont think that is allot of K's.
But since my current Coupe has over 330,000 k. Original engine was taken out at 210,000 MILES!. Put in a V4 that has been in for probably like 18,000 K.

What hoses are you using there?

And just realized yours has a cooler for the power steering fluid?
