Lots of engines have their filters right on top, makes oil changes a breeze. Not anything new!

I hate plugs with a passion on boxers. Have't done plugs on a V8, but I hear they're a bitch too. The engine bays are always crowded on boxers, gotta take everything out to do anything. Or at least that's what working on the WRX felt like.

It sure looks like there is room for a turbo underneath the motor to me.

For me im liking the crank and short skirt pistons.
Just screams high rpm to me. Also not liking the single drive belt for the access. Timing belt looks like its a 8hr job to change. |

By connecting the endlink directly to the strut gives the sway bars a 1:1 motion ratio throughout the suspension travel, so a smaller bar can be used to achieve the level of roll stiffness needed. |

I never had a problem changing plugs on my MY01 WRX. 20 minutes and it was done... Minor servicing on the old girl was a breeze!
