  1. If he is like me, no way ever will put aftermarket radio in a car. 1. They dont last more than a few years or so 2. Inviting for any thief cause they easily can trade for drugs, etc or take to pawn shop 3. They just don't work that well, buttons too small etc. 4. Factory radio sound is just fine for lots, and the buttons are easy to press, and they last.
  2. It sounds like maybe you should have an expert look at the car, maybe someone else on the board familiar with your model car can come check it out and fill you in on some stuff.
  3. Many people in here should visit for some info http://www.indysworld.com/80s/general/literature/brochures/brochures-80-89.html
  4. would the axle above the exhaust be the first go usually go out-due to the heat etc, and the open front diff which axle receives most torque?
  5. whichever one has a autozone or carquest/napa tag on it and looks new, that is the bad one.
  6. I am pretty sure you will be back to report what has already been told on this type of thing.
  7. Ok I could have spoke/poked too soon. So, you have to wait how long to warm up them before they can be useful? -That doesn't seem very beneficial. Why not spend the dough and get some EDM from germany glass lensed units? - that is the best way to get good light upgrade.
  8. ^ ^ That ought to get you pulled over for impersonating a emergency vehicle. And, you have no light output when they are blue like that. Better carry a flashlight so you can see at night.
  9. shared from the bbs site. Apparently, someone likes the SS still, and they have a little 360 I will take a SS anyday. BRZ too. I think it is time for Subaru to do another world record land speed endurance test again. a comment on ytube is relevant " The father represents the older, traditional Subarus and longtime enthusiasts. The son represents the new generation of Subarus and younger fans. Although the father originally disapproved of the son's action(s) (and maybe even car)... he realized that his son was good after all (and so was the BRZ), the same way some traditionalist Subaru fans realize how great the combination of the Subaru BOXER Engine and RWD are. Beautifully executed!!!"
  10. and old dual range GL is lighter and more capable.
  11. a poor windshield install will do this everytime.
  12. I have never used a impact on axle nuts. Use 1/2" drive socket on a breaker bar, and sometimes add a cheater pipe on the end of the bar for extra leverage impacting is not always the right choice
  13. get a oem thermostat from the dealer and you will have good heat again.
  14. typical charge to put a car on frame machine is about 600 + and upward.
  15. Based on looking at your hood now, the front Driver frame rail is bent upward at least 7 inches. That is frame that is not going to be very easy to straiten. It will require a frame machine, not simply a tree and straps. The nose is twisted, I can see it in the pics. If the hood fit down to the passenger light, then the left side is about 7 inches or so too high for the hood to sit closed. Not going to be easy or cheap to fix that. When you slammed the wheel and tire into the ditch, it was enough to snap and bend that, but also your speed was enough to continue into the frame as well. You hit hard to do that. If you look hard enough, i bet you see evidence of some buckling on the top of the roof middle above the seat belt anchors too.
  16. I just broke my key off in the trunklock tonight on my Legacy Sport. Good thing i was home when i did that. I was unloading my beer. I think i am down to only one spare left now. I guess I should go get another spare made up tomorrow. Maybe hide a extra key, good thing i didn't break the key off earlier when i was in Des Moines running errands. That would have meant 60 miles from the spare key. good thread eh.
  17. looks like they are all red and whites. hmm i thought maybe the old style commercial too for the USA, in red white in blue. Sure wonder.

  19. that sucks. reminder, if you park your car long term, pull the fuse for ignition, and also pull off the coil wire. they can still haul your car off, but they aren't going to drive it off.
  20. yes sending email.

  21. place short 1/2 drive socket over the nut. Then insert allen key thru the socket top, into the strut piston shaft. keyway. Then hold the allen key tightly. Use large vice grip locked onto the socket. Using the vice grips, loosen the nut while holding the allen wrench. You need to have the spring compresses before doing any of the steps.
  22. Yes, many oddball for the 94 GT one year only. No the GT is a taller radiator, same as the turbo breeds which are taller. except the turbo has no fill opening it has coolant tank. GT need s fill cap on the rad due to not turbo. And then the problem that subaru dealers even online do not acknowledge gt models. your best bet is to go take a ball bat to you dealer and tell them they need to carry your radiator; which they dont' - oops second best is to make some welded tabs to hold the NA short radiator. third best is to put a front clip on your car for NA fourth best to sell it.
