Anyone want a set of wheels? I've got a set of 15" steel's with about half(5+/32) tread Kumho tires on them. One has a slow leak. I've also got some misc....
-I just heard about the low beam lights some of these cars use. Some kind of HID blub. Most places sell them for $300 each.My kids WRX-STI(which is for sale)...
I briefly had an '07 OBS SE that I had purchased a new Subaru hitch for. It was mounted for about a week before the car met an untimely demise. The hitch un...
For the last month or so, my '99 OBS has been stuttering when going up hill when cold. I thought that it might be the front differential, because I had it's ...
Paul, (as an aside.... what happened to this group??? Did everyone decamp for an online forum?) I've had a lot of "little" things pop up in my CEL over the...
I replaced the spark plugs tonight. It wasn't very cold. They were pretty badly out of spec. Pretty well worn. I probably had about 30,000 on those plugs. I...
...I am a newbie and am investigateing this subject with the intent of becoming a n Outback Sport owner... ... there is a '98 in our town and they are asking...
Hmmm.... My gut feeling is that for the stuff you're talking, you'd probably be better off finding a used WRX.... Comments throughout... ... That sounds high...
All, It seems that the rear driver's side tire is starting to rub on the fender well occasionally when I go over bumps and around corners. I put 16"...
Personally, I wait till they're leaking and/or I can feel the difference. For the rear that general means that the rear end starts getting looser and you can...
What's the difference in cost/performance between GR-2's and adjustables? And, yeah, I don't think the strut itself is going bad, I just think the spring is...
The GR-2's are like $76 and the adjustables were like $115 IIRC from Tirerack... Though come to think of it, I'm not sure I even saw adjustables for the rears...
So, are you saying that I can replace the springs w/o replacing the struts? I guess I just assumed it was all or nothing... ... [Non-text portions of this...
Yeah, springs/struts are removed as one unit from the car, but are then separated off the car before replacing either. Completely separate items. If the...
... Sounds pretty high to me as well. My '99, I couldn't imagine being worth more than $4k. A little rust on the rear fender at the corner of the wheel. I hate...
...thank you Levi, Matt, and Paul for your quick responces... ...I am on the Left Coast in N. Calif... I've seen WRX around 2002 going for 8 or 9 grand... I am...
I think a '02 obs up, with a manual trannie will give you what you want: good mileage, power, etc. you can add the sway bar, seats, ect... to that one and be...
I think what you might try is going for a few test drives. Check out an early wrx, an older OBS and a newer one... -See what you think of performance. -See...
...on the subject of wheels and tires... ...last night while looking at the '09 brocures I took note of the whell and tire sizes offered... ...2.5i Premium and...
So, if you're shopping, might as well take a test drive on a new one to see what kind of deal they can make. The newest version is roomier, much quieter, and...
I just got back from visiting two of my boys(all three have Subarus), one has a 07 STI. I want him to put in a "kill" switch somewhere. He just bought a new...
Certainly seems like you could wire in a switch to the fuel pump relay pretty easily. Not likely to hurt anything beyond someone cranking the engine for a...
... Wow, Subaru's seem like a crapshoot now. I had a 1981 4WD GL, great car. I live in snow country and it was great. Sometimes I had to run four chains on...
The 2007 STi has the engine immobilizer feature, the key contains a chip that transmits a code that must match the ecu. If it does not match, the car can't be...
...I just want to thank all of you here that have helped me along on this OBS path... ...mostly searching Craig's list and Sacramento Bee online i find mostly...
Yeah, those SVX's are always cool. Not sure what their reliability is. Mileage might not be that great either. (: Enjoy your OBS! (I sold mine at 240K miles...
Sounds like you got a deal. Good luck. The timing belt change seems a bit often to me. I seem to remember it's scheduled for 105,000. Curiously, that's what my...
