  1. 25% off online parts orders are nice! Sorry Ryan left parts, he was Great. Posting older Subaru's or ones that need some work here before they go to auction would be Supper! Thanks, Larry
  2. How many miles on the car? What codes were causing the CEL? A dent in the exhaust wold not cause the piston problem.
  3. Has to be easy to use otherwise the Owner won't. If the SOB is planning the theft they may be watching, so if the Owner goes into the trunk each time the enter or leave the car, that would give it away. Drive an old car and leave it open, if they take it, just go get another with all the insurance money you have saved
  4. cylinder head > "Y pipe" is the exhaust pipe that bolts to the head on each side and joins at the front of the CAT
  5. Subaru Parts? The metal crush gasket should seal fine. If not I'd pull the plug and check the hole for defects, dented, cracked... Pretty thick metal so you could sand flat if needed.
  6. I've seen heated cloth seats in Legacy & Outbacks 95 and newer. Yes they are nice. Easy to tell, just look to see if the switches are there and then confirm the extra connectors are under the seat.
  7. Have a 2002 LEGACY OUTBACK, the hood and roof were significantly crazed and some rust showing through. A co-worker paints on the side. I dropped the headliner So I could pull the roof rack. 80 nuts and bolts later it was off. I could see runt under the primer inside the car. The fellow who did the paint for me said there was rust under the primer on the outside as well. So it looks like Subaru had a paint process problem that allowed some surface rust to form be for the car was painted. Looks nice $400 just in materials!
  8. Torque in the aftermarket manuals of that lower value was an error. I use 125 FT LBS never have had a problem.
  9. Could just be air in the System, make sure you open the radiator cap and check the level there, when it's cold of course.
  10. Breaker bar, long one will sit on the frame rail right in front of the battery. Disconnect your coil pack for Safety. You will most likely need to replace: Crank grear H Blancer Key way Front cover Torque the bolt to 125 FT Lbs
  11. Eric I have a replacement if you need one. Whats going on in Seattle? Crazy, Larry
  12. The plastic bushings break out of the metal rod so easy to spot. Dia. od the ID & OD would be what you need to select a close match.
  13. Pretty much bolt in. You will need the trailing arm to body bracket from the Forester or Legacy Outback so the wheel goes aft about 1/2" and is centered in the cutout. Also grab the lower aft trailing arm to hub bolt and use it for the top strut to hub bolt. The smaller dia, allows you to correct the camber by tilting the tire in all the way. You may need to change the top mount over from your old strut.
  14. Yes that's the knock sensor. The ECU will flag it and retard the timing, less power, bad gas mileage. Make sure the knock sensor is installed correctly and the wire leads are not tangled. Its a tight area, sometimes it's worth unbolting the throttle body (4 bolts).
  15. No one remember a coat hangar? Easy, use a windshield scraper up on the top rear corner of the window to lever the window of the frame. Take a coat hangar bent into a hook to open the door from the inside. 5 minutes and your in.
  16. Stock KYB's will be great. - Want more lift, install all 4 Forester Struts and springs. - www.nasonic.com has lots of Impreza info. I have stock STI struts on my 98 OBS, requires some modification to the mount but it rides great.
