definitely sounds like clutch slippage to me 74k is good mileage on a clutch. sounds like it's time for a new one! Jamie

Nokian (Hakkapelita) Or Blizzaks will work perfectly. I have Hakka's for my Impreza's winter use, love them cheers, Jamie

Sounds like the transfer clutches in your Tranny have gone bad Unfortunately, with high of mileage, this is quite a common issue..... You may want to get it diagnosed? but if it's 2wd only, likely that's the source of your problem. and $$$$ to fix... Jamie

quite the coveted item. $100ish new and DISCOUNTED from a dealership (lemme know if i can help) if you can find one cheaper on Ebay or in a salvage yard, you better buy it good luck! Jamie

very common to have these bulbs burn out any dealership can help you need: 1 - 72351ac051 2 of 72351ac061 commonly referred to as mode control bulbs. get these, take the dash apart, replace cheers Jamie

um yeah... and i also have a full column inside and my rally car was featured in the article on the Rim of the World rally... thanks for the kudos... Jamie

depends... could also be signs of an external head gasket leak... vs internal. really needs a sniffer test done to be certain. my GT never overheated at hwy speeds only at idle..... and not only did the HG's go... i melted the block in my ignorance Jamie

CCr is fantastic! i'd definately recommend em. Jamie

actually front control arms are known as transverse links could be the bushes could also be wheel bearing or cv issue could even furthermore be bad tie rod ends i'd suggest taking a look at those particular items. Jamie www.subiegal.com

sounds very very much like head gasket failure to me. have a hydracarbon sniffer test done.... you can change 1000 radiator hoses and 1000 thermostats.... if the HG's go.. the symptoms will remain. Jamie www.subiegal.com

what's the big deal? why not use it as is? driers in the AC keep the car from fogging up and are a god send my AC is on everytime i get into the car no matter what the season. Jamie

you better get that check engine code pulled... fast flashing check engine light = bad bad bad medicine steady light is not so bad but flashing meanst stop driving the car.. now.. or else car is trying to tell you something you are best off parking it and finding out what the issue is. Jamie

never ever needed chains on any awd car i've owned get good snow tires, and you wont either Jamie

sounds like the tranny is at the end of it's life missed or rough shifts = slipping tranny slipping tranny = dying tranny best off to plan to buy a rebuilt tranny, or a new car soon good luck Jamie

98 = 2.5 DOHC = head gasket issues has the car been checked out? Forester is such a nice car.... Jamie

watch those offsets on non subaru wheels just stay in the 48mm area and you'll be okay oh and not all 5 lugs are the same the new sti's have a completely different bolt pattern it's no longer 5 x100 cheers jamie

i toasted a clutch in 2k miles!!! <---seriously! it's easy to do - aggressive driving, too much clutch slippage, too much riding the clutch and it's easy to SEE as a mechanic, once you've removed the clutch from the car mileage on things like clutch/brakes means very little. it really varies by driving style wish you the best of luck!
