  1. heh I put LED's in mine bright enough to know I have my lights out during a sunny day.. However the superbrightleds.com website I think I got a crappy batch of the bulbs they flicker now if my dash brightness is up too high. I just don't have the time to pull them and put them on a variable voltage power supply to test them.
  2. I'm going to guess it's the same setup as my 95 Legacy with twist lock bulbs? A friend is asking me to change his bulbs because one side went out and the shifter bulb is out too all this happened over the time of a few years.. the way he was wording it like it happened all the same day.. I've taken my gauge cluster out before so I'm guessing its the same on the '02?
  3. damn can't find my pictures.. but what has been said above.. I blew my front diff because it ran low.. i started hearing it howl on the highway.. so I pull off at the next exit.. tried to make it to the dealership or autozone but taking off at no more then 5% throttle it blew up pretty much in the worst sound you ever want to hear and split the case as that... diff oil was all over the place. I don't think it can be saved if it was howling and I refilled it with fluid? Nevertheless I miss the forester. Found them
  4. haha last time I drove a manual was back in 1996.. when i got my current subaru I had to like drive it around the block with the shifter and all haha now I really don't put much thought into it.. However when aiming for 5th gear I can hear the shift linkage make contact with another gear when I move the shifter over to push into 5th. Something to do over the summer.
  5. are you saying it has too much sideways movement? If so it's the shifter bushing.. it's the part that slides on the shift rod on the transmission held in with a roll pin (tight area) when they get worn you get a lot of side to side play... Sometimes (had my car for 2 years now) I still can go into the wrong gear because of how sloppy it feels.. harmful? No but I don't really want anyone else to drive the car until I replace that part. btw I have a 95 Legacy Wagon
  6. damn I love my car I made $50 for just helping cars out last night My friend's MB E320 could not make it out of the parking lot and not in his own driveway so I helped him all the way home. I did run into a stuck outback he tried to push into a parking lot that at the time 12" already fell I tried to pull him out but he was stuck good $5 just for trying.. It's going to take days for the clutch smell to go... I did get myself a little stuck I had to slow to downshift which I hit some packed snow which highsided me.. however in 2 min going back and forth i muscled my way out Going to have a family member do a video of me since my damn tripod mount on my camera broke.
  7. yeah it's a pain to get to but worth it to have all your doors to work again.. I did mine when it was pouring rain out in my parking space.
  8. I wanna put wrx seats in my 95 because I have the same issue with my legacy after 4+ hours my lower back starts to hurt bad.
  9. yay your snow is finally coming here 6-10 inches to play in
  10. I'm a little lost with the OP are you saying when you connect the battery again the locks work? I had to replace my door lock timer because mine just downright failed (they have two relays on them) thats why you hear them click.
  11. I think it was a defect if you ask me.. the thing is the whole tie rod spins if you just try to unscrew it.. I think the part was only like $18 or 20 so it's not that big of a deal right now but my aliment is off still.
  12. My outer tie rod did the same with the nut.. I think I'm going to have to cut the bolt off and just buy a replacement outer rod.
  13. I have a question right now I got 10W 30 in the car now but sometimes on some cold morning my lifters will be loud for maybe like 3 min and you can hear when they get oil because it will get much quieter. I wonder would 10W 20 be better off?
  14. nothing just the right rear camber was off what i cant remember is what happened to the bent wheel.. it was so bent it was rubbing on the rear strut tower.
  15. I had this happen to me in my 98 Forester the road had a crown in it and I tried to do a 180 to turn by spinning.. well it kept going until it hit.. bent wheel and some suspension parts..
  16. what causes clutch shudder anyways? I notice it happens if I don't have my revs up enough when taking off
  17. Has anyone have the abs act funny in cold weather this morning went to start up and the abs light come on but after I got gas it was off and I had abs again..
  18. wow people still like this old block.. I heard the heads don't flow well at all.
  19. Yeah but for all the people that rave over these cams very little info is given.. What's the turn around time for getting the cams back? since this car is my DD. I'm just wondering how 3 things it effects on a Ej22 1.) idle 2.) midrange 3.) upper power band Wont I gain more lower end?
