What kind of trivia do you want to know? I think between the whole lot of us we can piece together all of Subaru's history.

In terms of trivia, I don't want to bother folks here to type what's already available in terms of info. Is there any Internet site that has more detail than Wikipedia, for instance, on the evolution of Subaru's flat four? I managed to find a cool site last night:
The End Wrench - Information for the Independent Subaru Service Professional
that has some nice photos of engine guts and service procedures for things like timing belts...
Any other sites that have lovely photos of engine teardowns (not necessarily mods), drivetrain info, etc...
One other non-engine questions--is the drivetrain in my 2.5X (clutch, trans, diffs) the same as that used in turbo cars (I know there is no manual trans in the '09 Forester XT) in terms of strength and torque capacity?
Is there anywhere online where you can download a full car service manual? (I was able to find one for my old Protege5...)
I'm sure I'll have some more Q's along the way, but searching thru the Internet is getting me where I want to be in terms of knowledge...
Thanks,
George
