a fwd impreza knuckle will swap over too. In fact, any impreza, legacy, forester, or outback knuckle will work except for 05+ sti parts.

The key point is reliability on a race track. That's fine for driving around and short pulls on the freeway, but they're pretty likely to bend a rod with extended track use. 500 chp is really pushing it for a 2.5l, especially if you're racing, due to cooling issues.

yes. do you have paypal?

They're just sitting in a box in my storage unit, and I have two sets of good front ones. Just pay for shipping.

Did you break one or something? I have a full set you could have. Fronts are from a 97 and the rears are from a 99. Otherwise a set of Kartboy endlinks is $183 shipped and they really do make a noticeable difference. They have polyurethane bushings and clunk a bit if you don't keep them greased though.

actually search that guy's posts there and on nasioc. He has a welded center diff and drifts his outback.

No that's not how it works. When the viscous coupling overheats, the fluid loses it's ability to resist shear, meaning no power transfer.

Get good pads first. Some examples are Hawk HPS, EBC red and yellowstuff, Axxis Ultimate, and Carbotech Bobcat. I was running the hawks on my tiny 10.2" brakes and didn't have much fade after some pretty aggressive mountain driving. Fresh fluid and stainless steel lines will also help. Unless you are overheating your brakes with the stuff listed above, there's no reason to go bigger for the sake of bigger brakes. They're just heavier and more expensive. Anyway there are two common sizes that are bigger. 10.7" discs that are on the Impreza RS and 95-00 Legacy 2.5GT, and the 11.4" discs on the WRX (and a few other cars). They both use a two piston caliper but different brackets. For the RS 10.7" brakes you don't need 16" wheels. newsoobdude, if you already have two pot front brakes (I think you do) the RS stuff is the same size.

could have something to do with the shift interlock. Also if it flashed the check engine light you can pull the code to see what it is. Directions here: http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/engine.html

if you're going that long between oil changes, you should at least change the filter every 5k and I would be sending samples into blackstone labs when I changed filters.

I think the bulb has separate elements for the brake and tail lights. Is it possible they're just both broken?

02-03. The 04+ springs are tapered and won't fit into 1st gen Impreza tops. They do work with 90-91 Legacy tops though, which has the same bolt pattern as a GC. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=14852050&postcount=5

The dial on the left adjusts the volume. ...is there something you specifically wanted to know about it?

Given the same tire pressure the contact patch will have the same area (well, nearly), for any width. On pavement the reason for wider tires isn't for a bigger contact patch, it's for a wider one, which will develop lower slip angles while cornering (which means they flex less and make maximum grip more quickly than a narrow tire). A narrower tire will grip better on loose surfaces, but it has less to do with the size of the contact patch as it does with the shape. The point is so the tires dig down through the top surface to something better. With a rally tire on gravel, it digs through the loose material to the hard packed dirt below. On snow, you might be having more tire contact with the pavement or hard pack when there's deeper, fresh snow.

I used to have a really cool key with a light in it. Then it broke and now I have a plain oval one.

the coolest thing about i-drive is that it actually switches between two ecu maps so you can have them re-flashed to go with mods and have selectable maps (like normal and race gas or valet mode). I have a friend with a spec-b who is doing exactly that.

if you add it to the gas tank it's going to go through the injectors... I seafoamed my car through the pcv and gas tank. It made a lot of white smoke and I think it helped.

I have big lights on the front. Most of the other stuff you can't see.

no, if it binds up you could already be ruining parts. You should be able to drive around for a very short period of time with the FWD fuse though. I think all 96-01 Impreza 2.2 4eats have a 4.111 rear diff. Here's a chart with trans codes, m/t gear and final drive ratios: http://www.northursalia.com/techdocs/trannychart/trannychart.pdf there must be something similar for autos around somewhere.

I'm having pretty much the same issue. Funny thing is how endwrench suggests finding out: Jack up the car and count front and rear wheel revolutions. My transmission in question is pn TZ102ZA5AA, from a 97-99(?) 2.2 Impreza. From what I can gather from all the threads about this here is that it's a 4.1 so I'm going to need a rear diff it seems.

Uh, you pull the old ones off and pop the new ones on. The color of the insulation doesn't have anything to do whatsoever with the quality or performance of the wires. I have no problems with the oem wires I got from Jamie.

My comment was regarding your spelling. But, yeah, sure, sounds right even though we have no idea what car you drive. The back of your owner's manual should list the gear ratios and final drive. From there you can calculate the circumference of the tires and figure out what revs you should be at for a given speed. For there to be a problem the clutch would have to be slipping and you would notice that.

Not all of them. 00-01 Outbacks have the smaller 10.7" discs that will fit under oem 15s. The Legacy 2.5GT Limited has 11.4" front discs that are the same as a WRX. In 02 all Legacy GTs got the bigger front brakes and I guess Outbacks may have as well. All 00-04 rear discs are 11.3" and I think fit under 15" wheels.

and it especially won't affect the speoodmoeter
