Howdy Ma'am!
-
can you install the original coil again as a test? -
NASIOC and friend in the same sentence seems odd - lol! But, yeah, there'll be good info there somewhere. I have already discovered the link in 06 - up may have replaceable bushings at all 4 locations. Turn-in Concepts has some bushings. Watched one video on console removal but, my car looks a little different. Hey, looks like the boot and shift knob unscrew together? is there aset screw or something? are the threads 'clocked'? how to reassemble without the knob pointing some odd direction?
-
still could be an axle....hope so as that is about the easiest/cheapest
-
My 06 WRX's shifter flops all over the place. Any advice on fixing it welcome. Links to decent videos or step-by-step text, etc. What replacement parts to avoid, any opportunity for upgraded parts, etc. ....I'm hoping it can all be done without dropping drive shafts, trannies or exhausts???
-
as said above, catch-up on maintenance, give it some TLC, go thru and refresh all the ground connections, maybe a new PCV valve, maybe a spray-type SeaFoam treatment (with the u-turn nozzle) , a can of Techron in the next fill-up. If you do plugs, stay with NGK. Brake pads should be name-brand ceramic. any 'system' you work on, search/ask here first for tips/tricks. stickier tires may be the best upgrade you can make.
-
maybe rust in the carbon canister attachments.drain valve? - pull hoses off it one at a time and see if the problem is better?
-
you can make it more fun to toss around the corner; stickier tires, new struts, maybe stiffer springs and perhaps a rear anti-sway bar upgrade, lighter-weight rims are a good way to free-up a pony or two AND personalize the car. don't carry unnecessary weight in the car. find the local SCCA chapter and auto-cross the car. fun, cheap, safe.

Hey from Minnesota

howdy! -
not uncommon for older soobs to need denso starter solenoid rebuilt, parts are not pricey - contacts and maybe the plunger.
-
one thing to consider would be a head unit upgrade - you could get bluetooth and maybe a usb port, as well as other features. check www.crutchfield.com for some ideas
-
can you describe or post pics of the damage? any problems during the work? brake hoses get twisted?
-
www.boxer4racing used to carry go-fast bits for legacy chassis - dunno what they might offer for the very new models. got my Strommung muffler for my WRX from them. Very responsive to my email questions. That was long ago.
-
maybe it blew-out!
-
sounds like Ralli-wreck amirite?
-
yep, destroyed cyl 2 on my '78 Honda Civic - valve broke , destroyed piston top, pitted the cyl wall. I honed the cylinder, installed new piston - I drove it for a while - used a little oil. Eventually donated to Goodwill, still running.

P0420 can be caused by other issues, some of which may not throw a code. OF COURSE an older car could need a cat. just that, vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks can also throw that code. many folks have had cracked/bad knock sensors that didn't throw a code. Plus, regular misfiring could explain poor mileage AND the excess unburned fuel could have destroyed the cat. the rear O2 sensor is what 'monitors' the cat, it or its wiring may be bad. Cats are pricey, never change one based ONLY on the 420 code, there are other tests that can help pin-down the problem.
-
maybe threw a rod, that led to the belt being thrown???
-
possible misfiring from non-oem plugs/wires possible bad knock sensor possible bad ECT sensor double check all ground connections.
-
6 speed trans and I guess rear diff from a spec B...+ built/tuned WRX or Forester XT engine from a wreck could be a really good swap.
-
who's doing the work? You might post in a new thread asking for a soob-friendly shop near you. Some folks have had very good luck with doing 3 drain/fill/drive-a-little procedures on their old automatics - perhaps with a bottle of Trans-X on the final fill. (have to mention , trans fluid is checked while idling, the only fluid you check that way) it's my understanding the 207 is a real b@st@rd engine, low-ish power and difficult to source parts for. thinking of a different engine I guess...
-
could there be a 'clocking'/phasing issue with the inner vs outer joints? I think it can make some difference in situations near maximum deflection angles.
-
Scotty, you can take the assemblies off the car, take them and your new KYB struts, maybe boots and mounts (springs?) to a shop, pay them to move everything over - BOOM, new QUALITY assemblies!

Yeah, not the best link, sorry They have both full-fuction and cases, but again, I dunno how far back they go in models/technology. The replacements I have gotten came either from the classifieds in a Forum or from ebay. https://duracellremotes.com/
