Your request is my command...I will see what we can do. I hope they have a car up here in Tokyo - coz travelling all the way to Kyoto does not excite me much...

Yeh, the 'hunting' around is usually that problem, you didn't mention that one before :-) See if you can find somebody to swap with for a test, but as the guys...
Motul seems to cause too much valvetrain rattle for my liking. I much prefer the Agip SINT 2000 oil. It's a mineral synthetic mix, and my engine seems to love...
... OTOH, if anybody is willing to donate the 20,000-30,000yen for travelling to Kyoto, I'm sure Anton and I could work up the energy to drive down. :) Cheers,...

Hello there, I've just taken delivery of my Ex-Subaru Australia Mica Blue B4 with 7,000 Kms and have a few queries if possible. I'm new to the Subaru game so...
UK owners Does anyone know of a UK Garage that has diagnostic equipment for the B4? (think I have a dodgy AFS but want to avoid just swapping things in and...
Hi everyone I've got a 2000 RSK B4 (sportshift) running on 98 (Mobil Synergy 8000 for those in NZ). I bought the car second hand (NZ new) with 31,000km on the...
My car is same as yours running on the same fuel. The only difference is I am in Hong Kong, but also city traffic most of the time. I bought my car as a...
my mileage ranges from 280 miles - town & commuting to work to 350 miles - motorway cruising has improved by about 5% after switching to Shell Optimax (98RON) ...
320 sounds a bit low. Maybe your car is running really rich? On a full tank of Synergy 8000 or BP Ultimate I normally get about 400-450km. This does normally...

Aaron, It all doesn't sound right to me. Trying to start in reverse should just cause it to not start, no damage should happen. If you are hearing dunny noises...
Sounds a bit low to me, you should really be able to manage about 400 in city driving, unless you fang it alot :-) I regularly get 500+ km's out of my 96...
Welcome aboard Aaron, Sorry, the lineage for BEs is a bit different to what Paul J mentions (he's a bit confused, but really knows heaps about these cars ;-) )...

Hello all, Does anyone know where I can find some leather polish that would match the BLUE inserts of the B4 seats. The Subaru exec who had the car before me...
The guys at the furniture shop might have some polish or failing that maybe leather shoe/bag polish might do the trick (provided the area is small) ... From:...
