Well, call us wusses, but I just made an appointment for Monday to have a local shop install the struts for me. =) When I got the GR2s yesterday I took a look...
Sheesh! I didn't realize any of the struts DIDN'T have enclosed tabs. I 've always had to do that on every strut I've done. It takes about a minute. (:...
Yeah, we kind of weighed our options last night. Considering the enclosed tabs and the potential complications with that, it may not have been quite enough to...
Well, yeah you would have to take it to be aligned unless you've got your own alignment setup and the majority of shops don't even have those... (: Though...
Making mountains out of molehills....... The only alignment that is subject to change when a strut is changed normally is the camber. All camber is, is the...
Hey there! I have a '97 Outback Sport and have had very few problemswith it (well, except for the wheel covers that constantly keptfalling off before I decided...
i have a dynamat door kit on the rear of my 98 impreza wagon. i put in some 6.5 inch alpine component type R's, and the depth of the speakers would not let me...
I've heard good stuff about it, which is why I am eager to get it installed, but since it's going to cover the entire door frame, I didn't quite now how I was...
I don't know much about dynamat, but can you just adhear it to the door panel (meaning the one you remove to access to the door)instead of the door itself?...
I don't know much about dynamat, but can you just adhear it to the door panel (meaning the one you remove to access to the door)instead of the door itself?...
Did you have to cut any metal to mount the speakers? Did you use spacers to allow for depth and easier mounting or do they moutn flush with the door. I've...
So I find myself weighing the possibility of a new car in the next year or two, against spending a bit to make my 97' really go the distance. I have 256K on...
I plan on applying it to the door panel itself, it should actually cover most of of the door panel when I'm done. I was just wondering about what to do with...
You would think there would be a lot of information on this since it seems that a lot of 2.2 and 2.5s have the leaking front crankshaft seal problem, but doing...
yeah i had to cut the mounting holes to the right size, depth was not a problem at all since the rear windows don't roll down all the way.the only other...
Well, here's my take: I have to have a reliable car. This is why I bought the Subie, my old Celica had about a quarter million miles on it, and I was...
Here's what I'd do: Make sure your tranny has enough fluid in it (ever been changed?) And take it easy on it (don't force any shifts and match the engine...
I'd just like to add that if you do consider getting rid of it and going new(er), don't get *brand* new ;). At least, that's the lesson I learned. I bought...
Yesterday I disabled my exploding steering wheel. I removed the brain box, and disconnected the wires to the wheel itself. I would probably completely...
Thanks for the info, I agree with you...I don't care much for the idea of explosive devices in my steering wheel and dashboard either. Seatbelts are just fine,...
Well, I like airbags, however I do like the newer ones that have some intelligence as to how much force they're going to put out. And you do have to make sure...
Got my car back from the shop last night with those new GR2 struts in it. Wow, what a difference! Can't believe how stiff they are, too, especially in the...
Wow, you must live up here in the snow belt too (I'm in upstate NY), I don't think I've ever run into rusted bolts that were that stuck that an impact wrench...
We get a little snow here in the winter ... just a little *cough*Minneapolis*cough*. And, of course, they salt the roads, so rust does become an issue. Yeah,...
I have the "ticka-ticka-ticka" sound coming from my '99 OBS, but it's much louder now than it was 10 months ago when I bought the car. How can I go about...
If it's been getting progressively worse then it does sound the same as the issue I had with my '02 and the pretensioner. It's a warranty item, so take 'er in...
That sounds like the standard valve noise on cold mornings that those flat engined Suby's have. I don't usually notice it much on mine. However, my wife's 97'...
I'm guessing it is just as you say: the nature of the beast. I'll keep an ear to it and see if it gets worse or not. From my own experience if it gets worse...
