  1. the GT rear bar is SMALLER in diameter than the Outback the OBK rear bar is what I installed on my 99 GT GT rear bar = 16mm OBK rear bar = 18mm GT front bar is 20mm - - that's plenty beefy. no need to upgrade there unless you're racing the car shout with questions Jamie Thomas Jamie at chaplins.com *************************** http://www.subiegal.com
  2. VTD is the fancy name for the AT rear biased torque split no, this is not applicable to a 5 speed but it's probably standard 'jargon' on your insurance Symmetrical AWD is basicaly how Subaru has 'trademarked' their drive line it's a coined phrase that now will become synonymous with Subaru basically, full time AWD standard on all Subaru's..... shout with questions. Jamie
  3. 16's i know for a fact... wrx 16" rims = 17lbs each Forester 16" steel wheels - 32lbs each Jamie
  4. RS Sport is aka "RS Pro" VTD = variable torque distribution 45front.... 55 rear... an AT feature... Jamie

  7. what do you mean by "intake" the factory intake is the same on all the 2.2 / 2.5's of that era. the Legacy was no different. both the 2.5 RS and the 2.5Legacy of those model years were brought to the states with the same BODY which was used on the turbo models aborad. 2.5RS body = 2.0L UK Turbo or 2.0L WRX 2.5Legacy GT body = Legacy RS 2.2 Turbo we, here in the states got the same bodywork with a downgraded drivetrain so yeah... it's just for show. Jamie
  8. i replied to your OTHER thread in Marketplace. (why post the same question 2 times?) Jamie
  9. ahahaa try changing them on a wrx..... first time i went to do em i said: "um.... where are they????" yeah.. buried!! Jamie
  10. i'm in seattle too never needed studded tires here in WA i've found i'm more comfortable on the studless anyway the roads up in the passes are kept pretty tidy i'd say you dont need em. i have a dedicated set of Hakka's for snow trips all - seasons for the rest of the year works just fine for this side of the mountains Jamie
  11. no that steering wheel is Spec B limited (that i know of) there are NO PART NUMBERS for any of these items at this time not yet...... Jamie
  12. likely all that will happen is that some of the PS fluid will "foam" out... meaning it'll flow out the cap and get all over everything but that's about the most "damage" i can see occurring if you're worried about it... remove some of the fluid (with a baster or a siphon tube) Jamie
  13. AT or MT? what gear oil are you running? changed your thermostat anytime recently? think it's due? this may be a good place to start Jamie
  14. If you've not seen this car, try to get a glimpse of one. Very Very Nice! specs, my photos, standard options **click here to view** ----------------------------------------------------------------- Front door card: Dash, Nav system, Momo shift knob and MP3 compatible Audio Rear door card: Front Seat Front Dash w/dead pedal..... hmmm... will it fit an Impreza???? such a nice car...... we have 3 of them at work can get more photos if you guys want to see something specific, just let me know. Jamie
  15. link for you... http://www.ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?CategoryID=1698&NodeID=5271&RootID=1414 these are made specifically for Subaru Models. Jamie
  16. i think... the car needs to be properly diagnosed all we can do is guess. speedo head? speedo cable? sensor? hard to say you're probably going to need to get the car looked at. Jamie
  17. Ebay is a good resource for this part just make sure it's got a working battery Jamie
  18. 2005 What? what car does he have? if it's a non WRX? Non Legacy GT? then 15's should fit just fine. Jamie
  19. I would just replace it. fenders arent that expensive. + $100-150 to paint it? much better than bondo or duct tape. Jamie
  20. I dont know what an impreza GT is.... but at this link there are some directions to removing the door panel (electric roll down windows, not manual) http://www.subiegal.com/images/car%20stuff/rs/LED%20install/impreza_led_install.htm Jamie

  22. None of the above. I'd recommend Dunlop SP5000's or Pirelli P-zero Nero M&S both are EXCELLENT in the rain My Dunlops were great in 4-6" of fresh snow Long lasting as long as you keep the pressures up and rotate often I'm currently running the Pirelli's and cant say enough good things about them Yet to have them in the snow, but they kick arse in the rain. Jamie
  23. personally i would NEVER put chains on an AWD Subaru you dont need them add all season or snow tires you REALLY dont need them i have never carried chains i have gone up in the passes (WA state ) a lot i have NEVER been questioned or stopped or even blinked at you have a Subaru - you'll be fine.
