you really should change them at around 60k.... best for the car and your piece of mind let them go too long, and you will notice a loss of gas mileage, pull, and eventually the dreaded sputter may begin OEM wires and plugs are the best replacements. (i've not found a set of aftermarket plug wires that fit properly) the swap it's not too tough to change these just takes a little bit of time as you have to move a couple of bits out of the way http://www.scoobymods.com has a nice how to for the impreza it will be the same on your forester. shout with questions Jamie

removing the tail lights from these cars is a right PAIN i would suggest, removing the bulbs. letting it air try check for leaks/seal if you can and maybe try to scrub the inside of the tail light with a baby bottle brush or some sort of very thin , very long brush. if you remove the tail light from the housing, you break the seal you break the seal, you run the risk of leaks when you reinstall the light. hopefully this helps. Jamie

bolt pattern and offset are the same they should work just fine. i had impreza steelies on my 99 Legacy.... worked just fine Jamie

after running a K&N on my street car and an OEM on my race car i have learned.... OEM is much better for the car BREATHES better and filters better that oily rag collecting dust and grime isnt helping you much in the long run OEM for me from now on Jamie

i dont think that's going to be the case i have the new "wrx" mats in my 2001... they actually COULD BE A BIT LARGER but i'll take what i can get as subaru did not make these mats for my car either.... if someone is in the seattle/bellevue wa area and wants to test fit? i'm more than happy to do that for em that way we will know for sure jamie

i would recommend trying these: https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=159 set of 4... heavy duty.... say 'subaru' on them fittment is for 2000-2003 but... they would have good coverage for any older model as well. shout with questions Jamie

sounds like a bad ground to me. water is getting on it in the rain.. and shorting it out. that's my best guess. check all of your ground wires. Jamie

97 Legacy OBW? or 97 Impreza OBW... i can at least get you a quote on new assemblies. Jamie

ECU??? for what model and year? (not sure where the 'other' thread is...) Jamie

castrol RS 10w/60 in my WRX but it's abused.... heavily. 5w/30 syntec blend in my 2.5 RS and no need for anything else. it just isnt run that hard. jamie

your dealer is 100% correct... Jamie

just as a tip.... i set/check my pressures every time i fill the car up with gas that way i have a decent log/idea of what's going on... Jamie

also depending on where you live? protection from the elements/debris/salt... why do you hate it so much you can always replace it with a real skid plate (aluminum) Jamie

front diff is inside the front section of the tranny/bell housing unit. it's all one unit. Jamie

even my 2002/3 wrx with heated / winter package had a timer... the rear defrost does not stay on. it's timed. when depressed, stays on for a short time then shuts itself off this defrost is / was also tied into my heated mirrors this is probably just a fluke thing. wiring/ electrical fire. glad you are okay, and sorry about your car Jamie
