Congrats on the WRX purchase! Prepare to have fun. 1) I usually go 75 ft-lbs on the lugs, then check them after a tank of gas. 2) As with any car, the harder...
1) 65ft/lbs 2) Turbo lag is really only somewhat noticeable in the 2.0L, but more noticeable than on the 2.5L STi, which is essentially non-existent. You...
22mpg is about what you'd expect. The worst I've seen was about 17. The best was when I ran two full tanks as a test to see how high I could get. I have an...
Q: Moisture in Door Panel? I have notice that there is quite a bit of latent moisture in the door panel as evidenced upon lowering window and raising there is...
Q: Shouldn't there be ample circulation of air in door panel? Is this evidence of plugged weep holes? ... Not necessarily , though the times I've noticed...
If you have a wrx, there are no plug wires that need to be changed. The coil is right on top of the plug, so for maintence, all there is is plugs. Russ ... ...
... The ... plugs. ... Thanks, Russ, great information ... does having the coil directly over the plugs make R&R of plugs more difficult, or is this task...
What are recommended repair manuals for the '02 WRX wagon? I've had several differnt types of repair manuals from Chiton's to Haynes, but never a factory...
I definitely recommend a factory manual, personally. Chilton's and Haynes manuals always lack things here and there, in my experience. The factory manual is...
I agree 100%. The job is nearly impossible without removing these two items. After removal, the job is only slightly challenging. Be careful when you unplug...
Why? To run stock RS 16” wheels. GC8 body. All STi running gear. SVX backing plates. (STi parking brake shoes) SVX caliper mount and caliper. (upgraded pads)...

LOL! That's great! I'm surprised the SVX braking gear fits onto other Scoobys. If I was able to downgrade my brakes, I would slap on some RS brakes for...

Quick answer: yes. There's really no need for 17" winter tires as opposed to 16" winter tires. Since the Subaru AWD system requires the tires to all be within...
Pardon another newbie Q: (this time I did search the archives) I am running a stock '02 WRX wagon. Of the three octanes available in the Metro area, what is...
91 octane minimum, though as I recall you can run 89 octane if necessary for a brief period without harming the engine. I wouldn't try it, though. As for the...
What MM said. The Potenza RE92 is a mediocre tire at best. Its performance in snow leaves much to be desired. That said, driven within its limits, its just...
