  1. there are a lot of people that don't know the difference, and use the terms interchangeably.. and I agree, fog lights should be yellow. the yellow seems to penetrate better Once upon a time, I had a set of aftermarket lights that had both styles.. fog and driving with a switch to flip from one to the other.. two separate bulbs and reflectors in each housing.

  2. Ran into a few more minor issues but overall my plan worked exactly how I wanted. First of all, 93 fwd impreza axles DO NOT WORK. they are too long. in a lowered application where the hub would be further out they may work. getting the rear struts together was.. interesting. the coils on the accord springs are too tight to use a normal spring compressor. there she sits. no spacers no crossmember drop and no positive camber. still need to bleed the brakes and sort out the front axles. figured out what combination works i just gotta order a couple more.

  3. Pry the outer side of the caliper away from the rotor just a little to push the piston in about an eighth inch. If you can wiggle or move the caliper up and down, the guide pins a worn. I have a big C-clamp to do that.

  4. Fog lights shouldn’t be used for throwing light down the road. They’re too low to start with and they’ll blind on-coming drivers. Really they shouldn’t be used unless IN fog. It’s a big issue over here in Oz, many use them all the time and as an oncoming driver they’re not great to work with. Dunno why they’re called fog lights anyway, they should be full yellow for good fog penetration! I did a snow season over here and wrapped my lights in yellow cellophane, including my driving lights. Worked mint when we were covered in clouds. Cheers Bennie

  5. pretty much every EA-82 has those cracks between the valves, normal, in a sense, nothing to worry about unless it causes another issue, i've had 3 3rd gen subaru's, they've all had them.

  7. I'm Sure that the Off-Roading crowd will want to do this Rear e-Brake Retrofit that I've done, while Keeping the Front e-Brake; both with independent Levers, side by side, next to each other Without the center console ... ... as a Great Slipping Control during 4X4 action. ► Edit: Some USMB Members already has done it, sucessfully! ► Update (added August 2016): Much more than four Years of daily driving had already passed since I finished this Retrofitting, and my BumbleBeast Drives & Feels Natural, with a Good working Rear e-Brake. My Experience: This Swap is Easier than it looks like, and the Results are Awesome; the New Rear e-Brake from Honda is More than enough for the Subaru; it only needs less than Half lever up to Hold Strong the Car, and also at half lever it has enough clamping force to Stop it! Is a Strong Rear e-Brake... not like the Average one found on common Rear Disc Brakes. I Hope This Write-up will be Helpful, If you like it, let me know by hitting the "Like" Button. Kind Regards.
