interesting thing i found out on this. the smell hadent stopped because i changed the belt. the smell stopped because the thing that was burning up finished burning up. i found both my fog lights not working a while after i changed the belt and when i dug into it the entire hid setup i had self destructed from the wires burning off of the bulbs and both ballasts being melted in the centers. i picked at the burnt rubber around the bulbs and it released the same exact smell i had been smelling.

Yeah, I know I could open the window and use hand signals but the car did come with that stick on the steering column with the auto blinky things. My latest was an 05 with nothing on the steering wheel but dust and food crumbs. Reaching down isn't so much an issue as looking down. I have to say I have gotten used to radio and phone volume controls etc. on the wheel without looking down. I was actually partial to the few remaining dial controls pre MY20s when they then introduced full touch controls like an iPad. Dealer checked other MY 19s on the lot and confirms. From other subie sites, it seems to work on 17s and 20-21s. Apparently 18-19 was Harmon Kardon head unit. I guess they consider it a feature to reduce functionality? BTW, any more wise cracks and I'm gonna bring yas up on charges of elder abuse OR start posting my own tips for extra long funnels or spill proof oil drain pans. Now... get off my lawn!

Heys guys, I've been playing around with my 3D printer and found a file online that someone made as a direct replacement for the original center hub wheel rings (part that hold the center cover into place). Mine are plastic, and work great! With it being nearly impossible to find any OEM ones still usable, these are a great replacement. If someone needs a set of 4 printed up, PM me.

MONSTER!

I've never had the O2 do anything but cause emissions failure. Could be mildly starving for fuel, T in a pressure gauge. 21PSI, no less. The CTS can cause drive ability problems, but usually it will run ok hot OR cold. Or random / intermittent. I have never had a MAF problem. Also, check the wiring from the sensors to the ECU. They can fail also. BTDT.

It couldn’t be a clogged cat could it? Or perhaps a fuel delivery issue?

Be ahead of the game for the next production run. Somebody at the mfg. has to be aware of demand. This vehicle falls into a certain category. Classic not going away anytime soon.

The door trim is probably a dealer-installed extra, so its location would be determined by whoever was doing the PDI.
