sometimes, I throw ebay items into my cart and wait a few days - about 20% of the time, I'll get a message offering a lower price.

that is most likely the "maximum" pressure recommendation. You really dont need (or want) to run that much pressure.. air pressure will increase with driving, so setting pressure to the max on a cold tire is not a good idea - unless of course you want to blow a tire on a hot day... what is the factory recommendation and how much bigger did you go? I would probably run a pressure somewhere in between the factory recommendation and the max pressure indicated on the tire.. Example Factory recommended = 32psi Tire's maximum pressure = 50psi I would suggest 40-42 psi

I had to work yesterday so i couldn't finish the job. I got it all back together just now and the clutch works now. I'm not sure what the problem was with the new kit/resurfaced flywheel, but it's working proper now with all the old stuff back in it.

Had a new T-belt and pulley in stock. I hit the yard for the T-Belt cover rear sections. Man I hate folks who don't do good maintenance. In the yard, the Drivers cam bolt was way over torques. 3' 1/2" breaker bar to get it off. I used the old t-belt in the yard to wrap it around the pulley and tie it to the frame. Nuts. Then when I uplled the water pump off the legacy, they had used a paper gasket. Hour later the flange was ready for the new Subaru metal gasket and water pump. Oil pump changed as the two lower t-belt cover tabs for the bolts were broken off. More poor maintenance. New Cam seals today and it should be back together. Good coolant system flush. It had the dirty dirty dirty coolant for sure. She should be back on the road.

that cvt doesn't have a dipstick.

I just checked Az reviews. Some love it others suggest it could have burned their house down! Great... another project for the list... rebuild house.

Search for the same item on Amazon for better info about the pump. You might not get a better price but you will often find more honest reviews, Q&A section for buyers/users and photos from actual customers to help you make a decision.

Yeah, checked HF too. Nothing special there. I ordered late yesterday & it will be here tomorrow. Gotta love Amazon/eBay. i feel like these items are already on a truck and half way up my driveway as I hit the order button. Should be easy enough to store rig in a small plastic bin, even smaller than a drain pan. I'll report back on speed of evacuation, maneuverability on snow and ice, etc. on this major investment.

looks like a good try, looks like standard aquarium hose available at wal mart or other places so when it dries out/cracks should be easy to swap out. Proprietary hoses are annoying. If it's relatively easy I'd clean it afterwards and store it out of sunlight and wrapped up to prevent UV/O2 exposure, I wouldn't expect great longevity from that. I've been around a reasonable amount of fluid pumps and small cheap hobbyist ones are prone to fail. A local large land scaping company quotes new pumps for many jobs and throws them away. It's not worth their time to maintain/expect them to work because they have so many issues with them. harbor freight has a few options but none look compelling over that one you posted.

you should be... it can happen, even in the dead of winter. again, the tire pressure noted on the tire is going to be the MAXIMUM - tires heat up when driving, yes, even in cold weather... heating increases pressure. thus, you do NOT want to run the tires at the maximum pressure indicated on the tire.. google search says ~25% under or over the recommended pressures of the vehicle... so yeah, about 40 is going to be the tripping point. otherwise, short of taking it to a dealer to have the monitors reset not much one can do.

Have you tried lessening it to like 40? Can you experiment until you find the maximum pressure they'll take without tripping the light? I'd just guess it's around 40 psi. When you find that maximum it will probably also give you nearly identical gas mileage as 50 psi...all things being equal (which they won't be with changing seasons. 50 is probably "maximum", not a recommended pressure. Tire manufacturers don't give recommended pressures because they don't know the final application/vehicle it'll be installed on.

Tire pressures are usually shown on the driver's side central door-post. I usually go about 2psi over (measuring the pressure when tires are cold)
