I'm not really a car guy, so this may come as a dumb question regarding tire replacement What kind of tire valve stems do I have? When I buy a tire through...
Hey, this site's still alive! I must've messed up a setting somewhere as I've not been getting messages anymore. Well, my 2002 OBS is still alive and well,...
Front's should be vented. All else fails, you could do a parts bin upgrade to WRX rotors/calipers. This is what I did on my 96 Outback Sport and the extra...
Josh, Please tell me more about your WRX parts bin upgrade to WRX rotors/calipers. I was under the impression that the front rotors on WRX's aren't vented...
I'm using the caliper brackets & calipers from an '02 WRX. Need the caliper brackets most importantly to space the calipers out for the bigger WRX rotor. I...
Ah, I apologize Josh. I just took a peek at the rotors with a flashlight and they are indeed vented. I was just assuming that they weren't, because of the...
Hey all, So my 99 OBS seems to be running a bit loudly (sounds a little like a truck when I accelerate particularly when the car is cold). Plus there's a bit...
I wouldn't bother replacing any pulleys... The waterpump maybe... On my 97' it went out around 190K miles... Air filter, plugs should probably be done if...
Hi Levi, Thanks for the tip! I replaced the plugs/wires ~55K miles ago. I did do a cross country drive pulling a trailer since then (probably precipitated the...
I am very excited about our brand new Outback Sport which today turned over 250 miles. I owned a 1998 Outback for several years and loved it, but it ended up...
John, I imagine availability may depend on the dealer from which you bought your car, and there's some variables to consider in determining if it's worth your...
We bought one before the warranty ran out. when it's new, you get the Subaru extended, but the dealer flat said it wasn't available for our car. I presume...
So I recently traded my '97 OBS with 350,002 miles (owned since new) on it in for an '09 OBS. I went with the Obsidian Black Pearl/Dark Grey Metallic, and...
Looks like Bartec has a tool that eliminates the need for the select computer. Unfortunately it has a hefty price tag. The lowest I found was $1400. TECH400 ...
I have oil leaking into the tubes where the spark plugs go on the right side of my engine. However, the oil is present at the top end of the spark plug cables,...
I just fixed this on my '99. There are seals at the top of the tubes. All you need to do is get new valve cover gasket and a set of these seals. Seems to me it...
I expected the power outlets on my brand new Outback Sport to be live when the key is turned off. But, alas, they are not. Is there a dealer method to change...
Thanks for your help. I picked up the valve cover gasket kit plus spark plug tube seals all for just $27 at our local Kragen. Should have it in by this...
Good deal. I just got an appointment for the timing belt (that I was unwilling to do myself) and all 4 struts (that I don't have time for). Talk about sticker...
Wowzers, is that at a dealer, or independant? T-belt costs seem to keep going up, but pretty sure the last couple were more like $280... Struts really aren't...
Yeah, dealer. Through work I have a discount at Goodyear Service Centers. I called them and they said they didn't do the OBS timing belt. They do timing belts,...
Yeah, my luck has been with independent mechanics(not name brand) but it can be hard to find one that's good for sure without trying them... ... [Non-text...
Paul, If it'd make you feel any better, I was talking to my Subie service guy about the timing belt in my Toyota MR2 Turbo and, the nearby mechanic (a former...
The gasket install went without a hitch, and took just a half hour or so to accomplish for the right side. I'll save the left for when...if..the leak turns up...
No problem. I got more sticker shock this morning with the things they found on my car that needed doing. Probably things I could do myself, if I had time, but...
I've been living with pretty noticeable low-rpm engine knock for a good year but had gotten used to it. It probably started around 130-140K, I'm now at 160K. ...
