The engine is stock. Can the manual make it a sleeper (that much quicker) as too embarrass Subaru's as he states? Those tires are huge so that would mean taller gears in every gear?

This is probably a more general 850/70 question, but is this a manual swap? It's still unclear to me how many, or which variants, of the turbo engines came with a stick.matthew1 wrote: ↑14 Mar 2020, 12:55 The wheels are 1999-2004-ish S80/S60 Arrakis 17". Stock was 16" or 17".

Anything's possible, but on this car I'd guess not. They came from the factory with manuals, and they're not that valuable generally, so if you wanted one, you could just find one to buy. Much easier than swapping.

98 T5M is a stock configuration, this looks to be a factory one. They aren't very common though. That's why Matt should jump on it!

Matt should buy it for MVS use. Whenever a member visits CO, we can test drive a T5 manual. I really like my idea. Think I will get tickets to Denver today.

Probably an original T5M wagon, it's possible that it was a swap but as Matt said, they were offered like that. And I believe 019 black is the most common color for '98 T5M wagons.
The manual transmission offers better control over boost, and it makes it a lot more fun to drive. I guess you could call it a sleeper in stock form!

That ‘98 looks lovely! I keep missing out on those wheels.

For the record I don’t have facebook, but my wife does send me some interesting stuff off of there. No, I am not considering the above, but it certainly is provocative!
We’re down in AZ on a motorcycle trip & debating skipping the flight home in favor of driving 1,800+ miles back in a 200k ‘88 240. Its engine was allegedly replaced 100k ago, which strikes me as odd for a red block. $1,400 asking. I haven’t seen it in person yet. $1-1.2k seems more appropriate. We’ll see.
