  1. Since some dealers deny these even exist, here is the link http://store.forcedperformance.net/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=Info_SubaruOil
  2. No a new person on the board wants to lift his roo, so he was asking me. I know thats not an outback but it gives him a pretty good idea of what he needs. But hrmm .. more height ...
  3. Yes right side, screwed in, not hard to find. On more modern engines (1990 and better) they have gotten really tight. Pressure in the crankase can actually push out seals, cause oil consumption etc.
  4. Anyone have pics of the Allied Armament kit for outbacks? Since the site went poof alot of them are wiped out. Allied went belly up but someone wants to do a lift and I figure why reinvent the wheel
  5. A locked one would do the same as they are both open axles front and rear. The 4eat uses a computer to balance the torque split from 10/90 to 50/50 and everything inbetween. Your tires are the weak point in this equation. Unless oyu had a 4wd vehicle to match with similar tires track and weight, I wouldnt blame the auto as it really does wheel very well. You can set it up easily enough but first look at what kind of tires you have. I ahev ownd a DR subaru and it would go all over too due to road conditions. AWD keeps you going as long as you have traction, not necassarily straight. Thats where tires come in.
  6. Once the weather clears up give it a tuneup, and change the PCV valve when you can. Your seals will thank you.
  7. I would NOT go back to that shop. You have given then more then enough time to fix the car. Challange the charges. Let the dealership do the work (they can sometimes be cheaper). They will do it once as opposed to 20 times. Sounds like you have a good dealership. Have them document everything and ask for the old parts back. if possible.
  8. Gte a bunch of them and sell them on ebay or wait till more people blow them up. Seems to happen a few times of year (I even did it)
  9. Exedy is the brand that is most popular on the boards (not just subaru)
  10. In addition to our Autopart International branded products we are proud to distribute quality products from our suppliers hehe from writing manuals and techy stuff, this is NOT how to write that line, makes your product sound like junk.... oh wait... maybe the point. "Other quality products" should be in there
  11. Every manual I have ever seen is "disconnect battery" for everything except replacing wiper baldes.. Wait... In the begning of the book it usually saya before you do any work to disconnect the battery.
  12. Modern cars do not have lights that go to ground. They feed back to a "controller" on a loop. The control is made so some lights dim, some go out, some stay on at full brightness. If they dont read the radio manual (or get a harness adapter) for the radio POOF.
  13. HOw odd, I cant find anything good or bad on the net, however, one retailer calls them "Auto parts international branded parts" and latercall out brand name suppliers by name In addition to our Autopart International branded products we are proud to distribute quality products from our suppliers, including: Bosch, KYB, Walker, Timken, ... Autopart International is a wholesale distributor of replacement automotive parts. In addition to selling through a network of distributors, Autopart owns 150 wholesale outlets in locations across North America. From their website In addition to our Autopart International branded products we are proud to distribute quality products from our suppliers, including: Bosch, KYB, Walker, Timken, NGK, Mann and Hummel, Yec, Kotek, Denso, Nationwide, Dayco, Prenco and Stant, just to name a few. All of our products are available online through our open web ordering system. We also offer a full line of tools and equipment with financing options available. They don't manufacture, they are a reseller. "international branded products". For now on, when it is a part that is critical or buried in the bowels of the car, go with a brand name or known name. The extra cost is worth every penny. Are there any part numbers writing or names on the parts themselves stamped.
  14. Well iof he has no dash lights (spedo hvac prndl glove box) then it is the module.
  15. disconnect the battery and reconnnect it after a five minues (only one is needed but five is easier). If that doesnt do it you can do it with the reader.
  16. Your not really ionizing air, you are making some ozone though. YOu need much bigger surface plates to really ionize the air. Keep in mind that ionized air which makes ozone really aint good for those lungs. Technically as soon as the ionized air comes near metal it looses its charge (can you say lightening). I agree that the other stuff you did probably had a better effect. Also ionized air (spark) and an air/fuel mix, well, thats the boom of an internal combustion engine. Could make life a little exciting.
  17. Anyone put in an aftermarket stereo? (I answered one just like this someplace) The magic smoke escaped the illumination controller. They usually die due to a short or a new stereo improperly installed. They sometimes go due to age. You need to get to a junkyard befreo this guy does http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/110-gen-2-2000-2004/42255-dash-lights-temp-lights-out.html#post396369
