it's really easy only took me about 10 min per strut

I was going to get the HF spring compressors until I saw about how many people had issues with them.. So I went to auto zone and got the OEM spring compressors.. well worth the cost and extra safety over the HF compressors. I felt safe enough to hit my compressors compressed with a hammer so they would slide into place.

I just noticed they have 110 amp alternators at NAPA cheapest on NAPA was $150.88 +$60.50 core not lifetime

I used to run my impreza almost like that but left the filter in the engine bay it was nice. Oh and to your other question about the car hesitating when you go WOT from a stand still.. Well think of it.. think of how much air now has to rush into the cylinders that's why most cars (I know my 98 forester had it) have a plenum think of it as like a storage box for air.. I can't find you any pictures but it sat right behind the TB and I think they said "Subaru" on it but it was just a empty box. Oh my 3-up star LED came.. I would of installed tonight but my heatsink has not come in yet.. sucks weather was very nice today 61 F but tomorrow it's going to be in the 30's

parts came the plastic PCV thing looks different then the one I had before but still the same.. that rubber tube from the block to the plastic piece the rest should be ok. too bad it came so late today was a nice day... 61 F outside.... Tomorrow in the 30's LOL

oh man the dealer wants $200 for it lol and i get back $50 when I return the old one..

yeah I had one on my 1.8L impreza sounded cool but not going to do it again since I go offroad and that's the last thing I need to happen.. it's bad enough my ECU got muddy water on it and shorted out on the trail.. lucky for me a buddy had a spare in his car that matched the one I had.

you need a adapter plate

I never could find any pictures of the backside of any with the sunroof controls and i did not want to risk having with the controls without a working switches.. my aftermarket switches are lighted too.. I have a diagram for it but unknown if it's my model or an older one. Would be really sweet if I could get it to work with the stock subaru..i mean really in it's basic way it's closing the connection to start the motor.. things only get odd when you don't know if it's just a pure push button or has some type of micro control along with it. I don't want to pull on the A-pillar since I hear those clips like to break this is the only one I saw http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUBARU-LEGACY-OVERHEAD-DOME-MAP-LIGHT-04-USED-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3f07040324QQitemZ270700643108QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

hmm thinking about doing this early spring.. I was looking at rockauto and they have one that's $13.17 and sold in packs of 4.. that part confused me does that mean i'm only getting 4 of them? as the same time I was going to do the valve cover gasket.

yeah it's crazy how they did it before.. Anyways I this morning ordered the maplight on ebay from an 02 WRX Now I will get to see for myself how much hacking I need to do to get the heatsinks to fit. I would of used 10 mm rebel LED's but they came from Canada which made my cost a little higher. If I'm lucky today I can do the dome light project today

I will call or swing by the dealer today to find out

Well i live so close to the highway (5,000 Ft) I never have to go back down to 1st so it's always the first shift of the day and that's it.

well I was looking at the subaruparts.com site.. I heard from someone hear they have an overstock issue.. but I will call the dealer in the morning to check *edit just noticed they have a $50 core price.. So hmm Do dealers make you pay a core?

I'm new school but I have the same issue.. the first shift into 2nd gear is very jerky but after driving for a few it's fine... only when cold like below 32f I have that.. i know when the gear oil is due for a change I get a clash going into 2nd

wow wtf.. tell me i'm dreaming? a dealer alternator is cheaper then one from rockauto? a MSRP is $78 vs $142 at RA... However what's the likeyhood of them having it in stock?

true hopfully my stuff for the dome light comes in tomorrow so I can get started if not then saturday is good.

I think that would be for any car not just Subaru, no?

haha you have a point.. sometimes I have to go to places in NY and its iffy.. I never have a cargo cover and on ebay people want to charge like $80 for them.. I'm like WTF its nothing but a pull down shade lol

since I got like a zillion undone electronic projects here why not just add an extra one.. only thing is it might take an pretty big cap to get 10 seconds.. something over 550 uF

hahah:clap: I got my fingers crossed that my first LED order for the dome light will be in tomorrow.. 3-up Star LED at 350 mA with an output of around 437 lm which is like almost 4 times brighter then what's in the car now... it would be cool to have the lights fade out after like 10 seconds or so.

on mine it express opens and closes express meaning no need to press twice like you said.. it will only stop closing if something gets in the way when closing.

well the whole reason mine never worked when I tried to replace it almost 2 years ago is because the little metal extension that the gasket sits on, on the converter end is missing which is why my gasket was spinning around with every exhaust pulse.

I just found this one on google search http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/80-electrical-electronics/31257-1996-obw-map-light-mod.html#post310013

How wide is the map light? about 8 1/2" it would be nice to be able to leave it in it's same place AND put the maplight in but then it would be off center
