likely you've got an oil pump leak so you're looking at a new front crank seal, oil pump oring.... and while you're in there I'd recommend: do the cam seals, any timing cover seals that look iffy and I'd highly recommend timing belt and water pump best to do it once you've torn it down since those items will need replacement anyway Jamie

epoxy will probably work once it's cracked, they're pretty much ruined. good thing is a new bug guard is only $50-60... Jamie

No performance chips or ecu's... but there's lots you can do with this car! see: http://www.subiegal.com/thecars/imprezamain/imprezamain.html for more ideas Jamie Let me know if you have questions

agreed. just get a hydracarbon test asap this will tell you right away if you've HG issues or not Jamie

DIY instructions and photos http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=166 not too hard if you have the correct tools Jamie

+1... these guys have been around for a while Jamie

air into the intake is a good thing. water into the intake is not a good thing.... if you live in a wet climate, i'd leave it be. Jamie

I agree if you're working on internals - get the OEM parts at least that way you have a 12month warranty against defects. again i say... "anything worth doing, is worth doing right...." Jamie

90 Legacy Wagon L 5spd AWD for sale 180,000 miles no way i would pay $1000 way too much $ for that kind of mileage and a 16 year old car. I'd give em $400-500 tops but we are spoiled where I live. These things are everywhere. Jamie

i THINK it was a combination. 1) we didnt have 3 in stock 2) I didnt see the 2 new ones on order but i rush ordered them so that they will arrive in time to ship out on monday I'll handle this one m'self and make sure to get you confirmation/tracking Jamie

whoah hold on there I work for Subarugenuineparts.com and I dont owe anyone any core fees???? i'm really confused here. Your wiper blades will ship on Monday they simply overlooked this in billing out your order I fixed it today thanks to your email Jamie

you guys think too hard. and too much you're overthinking this. the new waterpumps are just fine OR SUBARU WOULD NOT HAVE SUPERCEDED EVERY OLD WATER PUMP PART NUMBER TO THEM.... now would they... Jamie

the bolts go through plastic and into a metal bracket you should be able to shock them out of there. Jamie

i think we're after a blade refill here... 05 Forester's are a tricky bit. They differ from others. to view pricing or order this item: 1) see our oem catalog: https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html 2) order/look up by part number(s): 86542SA050 New blade assy 16" rear for the 04/05 Forester shout with questions Jamie Thomas Jamie at chaplins.com www.subarugenuineparts.com ************** http://www.subiegal.com

is it right beneath the shifter area? if so ... peek under the car and make sure your downpipe/exhaust is not "hitting" your transmission crossmember it's been known to happen causes a horrible vibration/rattling Jamie

i've never removed anything but the washer tank and on my wrx the Air filter assy.... it's really not that hard. helps massively if you have the right tools :-p Jamie

Yep... and I'll be happy to help you if you cannot find what you need. I manage the store feel free to send me an email or pm me here anytime. Jamie Thomas Jamie at chaplins.com www.subarugenuineparts.com ************** http://www.subiegal.com

nice stuff but way overpriced. you can do better elsewhere - - shop around Jamie

subaru has 5, 6, 7 speed sport shifts they just haven't brought them to the States... Jamie

there is no turbo "kit" that will bolt right onto your car ***without heavy modification*** (engine/tubo, radiator, crossmember, sway bars, ecu, wiring and more....) There are turbo "kits" per se, but bolt them on without swapping the block/engine and you will literally melt the heads. if you want a turbo, best way to get one is to buy the car that comes with it - and buy the full warranty along with it. but if that's not in the cards, you can do a full engine swap. But it's got to be all or nada if you want the car reliable. Mind you, do something like this and your warranty is void as well as your car insurance unless you inform your agent of your modifications. good luck Jamie

i'd recommend a gear fluid change now that you seem to have the problem sorted for now defo a gear box issue defo related to the center diff how often are you changing your gear oil? Jamie

is the OBK a DOHC or an SOHC? 1999 had both, it could be either/or Jamie

Please, go get a hydracarbon test before you crack the block chances are, it's HG failure keep driving on it, and you'll need an entire shortblock replacement Jamie
