a stock loyale 4wd is not a problem. Moosens car is stock, heck most everyones cars are stock height. If everyting goes well I will end up running a stock height impreza with wrx wheels that have nearly bald tires.... As for distance....do mapquest from your location to Atsion NJ and then you will get your answer... Matt

could you and Keith both get more specific.....I would love to watch some of this stuff but I don't know where to go.... Dave: did you try going to an underdrive pulley set, colder thermostat, maybe swap a manual rack in there and lose the PS??? What about taking the acc. drive belts off totally when racing (my dad did this back in the day at maple grove) the only advantage you have over him is that you will still have your water pump working as opposed to him with nothing... Just tossing out ideas... Matt

Oil filters
subeman90 replied to Bajaman's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
if you check on ebay sometimes you can get genuine subaru filters really cheap! I bought a bunch once and with shipping they were each less then a fram at walmart. Also, the factory filter that is on the engine is smaller then the one that you will use as a replacement...this freaked me out once and I thought I had the wrong filters....a call to the dealer made it all better. For those who don't know...the orig. engine filter is small and looks like an auto trans filter. strange stuff in my opinion. Matt -
So I spent another 30 mins with the SUBARU today...

If you didn't already think of this.....you might want to go hit some trails that you know and look around a bit....most likely a bunch of punks who just wanted to go off road it and might have ditched it in the woods. Good luck dude....I'd hurt them badly..... Matt

not trying to be a jack but are you sure its empty? I've already thought that I was super low and infact was only needing about 13 gal in a 15.9 tank (not enough to make the light go on) My OB really had to go super low before it went on and as for my impreza I can't say that I have ever seen it on. There is an adjustment on the SU which might help it get a better reading but honestly I wouldn't screw with it just for the sake of a light. Matt

the sending unit in the tank is bad. I fixed the one on my 95 impreza about 3 months ago. Parts were roughly $80 and it took me about 1/2 hr to do it. You can access the tank from inside the car (you don't remove the tank). If it is a sedan I don't know if you have to pull the seat but in the wagon you lift the carpet up in the back and tada the access holes are right there. once the cover is off start the car and unhook the electronic conector and when the car shuts off you continue to remove the hoses and all the nuts that hold the SU and fuel pump in. When you order the parts have your vin because they did use different SU's over the years....and don't be afraid to wait...mine took 3 days to get in. Also, contrary to what others have said on here....my impreza only has one SU. Other subaru's do use 2 though. Got questions....ask! Matt

Happy b-day Josh!!!!! Matt

I'm not too fond of Walmart either. Read an article in a Union paper once about walmart....I stay away as much as possible. I've known your neighbor before she was ever your neighbor....I used to work with her at Wilbur Choc. (I'm still there...she isn't) If your ever in the Ephrata area go to Tire Consultants and check out what they have....I usually get a pretty good deal from them on stuff. Tirerack.com is a great place too! Matt

I bought some tires out at the Walmart out on 462 in lancaster a few years ago for the hatch I had. They were some generic Douglas tires but they were great in the rain and snow. My buddy has some on his samarai at work and he likes them too!!! Did you consider going with pugs maybe???? Some 14" with some nice meaty tires.... BTW, I talked to your neighbor the other day...she told me about her "new" XT Good luck, Matt

If you like the wrx but the maintence/added costs of ownership scares you why don't you look into a 2.5 RS It is almost identical without some of the things that you don't like about the WRX and it is much cheaper. I saw a 2.5 RS sport pkg wagon at the dealer last week and it had a sticker of 19K. That is right a brand new cool looking car for 19K!!!!! just my opinion though.... Matt
