Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Angry Sometimes I really hate my car

Here's the problem...

I've got a 95L with a crappy 1.8L in it. It has 91K miles on it and the rear main seal, clutch, and Idle Air Control valve all need to be replaced. Thanks to the bad seal my oil leaks onto my catalytic converter, gets real hot, and smokes like crazy. I drive to vail or copper once a week to teach snowboarding and relax. Problem is, I'm a student at CSM in golden and don't have a ton of money. If I had the time I'd toss in some wrx gear so I wouldn't have to downshift into third to keep up with traffic, but I'm poor. Can anyone recommend a good shop that could help me out? Any ideas on how to take care of these things are much appreciated.

if you wanna just stop it temporarily before you swap out the engine, try a little brake fluid in your oil, it will swell the seals up
