Changing the bulbs on the "cruise" and seat heater switch, can the bulb be replaced the same as my '91 Leg or did Subaru decide to change the switches so that it makes it easier for them to sell switches when the bulbs burn out? How do I also remove the plastic wood surrounding the stereo and HVAC controls?

A friend knew someone who worked on the older Subies and told me it will attach but I need to take the subwoofer cover off, and he said on the circuit board where the connector is attached will tell me what the different wires are for. He also said the subwoofer doesn't interact with the stereo and that the stereo "sees" it as just another speaker and that the amp affects the sub only.

I don't have a wiring schematic, already searched for similar posts. Can I attach the OEM 80W subwoofer/amp to my OEM 80W Clarion? The wiring harness will not attach to the back of the stereo. There are five wires from the amp: red (fusable link) black stripe, black brown stripe, orange black stripe, gray brown stripe (looks like ground), purple brown stripe, white brown stripe. Sub part number EAB12140 (.

If we want to discuss the "quirks" of Subaru, ... The name, SUBARU! The seven star logo! I think the new Impreza (quirky name) was designed to attract new buyers by having its appearance appear similiar to the other Asian cars, they didn't design it for the mid-20 boy racers who like their cars appearance to resemble a bull dog chewing on a wasp, or the infamous bug-eyes. Where did Subaru come up with the quirky name Forester anyway? The objective of ALL car manufacturers is to sell cars and Subies offer mechanical items the others don't or charge much more extra (VW with 4motion and Audi with quattro) Please forgive me for mentioning the germans in the presence of all that is Holy that is Subaru.

If you want to restore your turbo to it's former glory, try to source the 2.0 DOHC turbo and leave the 2.2 T alone. The 2.2 was rated at 165hp and the DOHC was rated at 200. Also try to find a 2.0 with the water cooled intercooler. They were standard in Japan, Europe and Australia (eBay might be helpful)

My '91 has 180K and I've recently had to repair a few things like replacing the driveshaft because of bad U-joint bearings, ball joints, radiator, alternator rebuilt and I'm on my third driver-side electric seatbelt. I'm not ready to ditch the thing because I realize that the items replaced were aging. Other than the seatbelt, which the local stealer wants $400 just for the part, I haven't had to duplicate any repairs. My seatbelts have been found used for $25.
