ethanol sucks. My 2 cents coming from a state where it is mandated and pushed like hot cakes on a early morning. Yes, Ethanol in the gas creates more pollution. yes ethanol yields up to 10% worse mpg. Takes more ethanol than gas to go the same distance. Ethanol ruins small engines. Ethanol requires 5 galons of water to make 1 gallon of gas (those 5 gallons are water are coming from the aluetian aquifer, MY drinking water s depleted on this) Refuse the ethanol at the pumps guys. Ethanol made from corn is causing food corn prices to go up as more farmers are subsidized to plant corn to go to ethanol. It is taking corn supply from the plate and making it go to gas. People need to know the facts. Back to on topic, sounds right, ethanol is polluting more out the pipe. It may require a ECU recurve to allow for more pollutants to pass its systems. Using this ethanol will in fact decrease usable lifespan in ALL engines. NO TO ETHANOL PLEASE

swap alternator.

http://www.car-part.com sort by distance from your zipcode. They list colors and damage units. Go look at it before making a purchase, if condition is not as listed, pass.

I have had a couple flaky alternators on my BRAT, and they do wierd things if the voltage regulator is going out on it. Some things my BRAT would do when it was going out was turn on lights, and the wipers would go on even though the wiper switch was off. Radio stop working then start again. And at times, no starts.

Is this Subaru admitting some fault with former filters of some sort, that they go back to what they know is best for the newest boxer engines? perhaps.

Pull the 3 bolts off that hold the driver side cam cover. Look at the belt. New belt will look, well, new. Old belt will be glazed looking. Kinda like when you get new tires, the rubber is nice and black looking. After a few months, you need to armor-all them to make them look newish again. A belt will look like new tires if it has been replaced, and if not it will look like old tires.

STi stuff is. i had to adapt the stainless axle back to a non stainless pipe flange to go on my old SS.

This is one of the may downfalls to plastic lexan lensed headlights. The lexan is too strong to break when the headlight is hit, so the weak link is the mount bracket for the housing. A glass lense the buckets/brackets were not the weak link the glass lens was. On those, a nudge would be replace the cheap standard light lens, standard square or standard round, and the bracket would be fine. On these new ones, you have to replace everything and even the junkyard ones have broken mount tabs 75% of the time. And if you find one with intact mount brackets, the lens is yellow 90% of the time and won't buff out nice.

no, only the control arm will fail. It is the weakest link and is designed to bend to save everything else. It will have a bend in the middle of it, you could compare it to a known good control arm Taco'd control arm is the term.

I can't seem to find a job here. If you leave, it will be a great time out west, but someday you will be back, family around here still? If you have parents around, coming back gets really expensive being so far away like that. I used to drive Denver to Iowa and back at least 4 times a year when i lived there, Turkey Day, summer, fall, spring. I might add, it will not be worth moving any cars at all out there from here. Go out there with nothing for cars/vehicles. Buy a few rust frees, for cheaps.

3.54 yay yay bump 3.54

you sir, will learn. please extend the pipe to the end of your car. unless you car about carbon monoxide, and other rusting gases. do what you want, but i have seen cars rust due to too short tailpipes. Speaking of i have too short cd's shorty the pimp etcs but you are too young to know. On this subject i will only give facts and you should listen to facts. science is real and the gases coming out are real. Out them past your bumper dude.

i have a few lsd chunks for sale 500 each. easy fit

^ you need asap to extend your tailpipe out past the bumper. if you don't know, there is moisture and lots of corrosives in exhaust gases, and it will cause rust unless you extend past the body. trying to give help cause you will regret overlooking that. as quckly as you can go get some piping and make it go to past the bumper. trust me. exhaust gas is very acidic.

Most aftermarket stuff is junk when it comes to exhaust. It will last about a year tops if you drive in salt, then it will rust in two. They might have liftetime warranty, but you are looking at shop time alot to get them replaced. Aftermarket exhaust most times do not use flanges to bolt it on, they use slip joints and need U clamps to hold together, or need welded. The cost of having someone replace something welded is a lot more than removing two bolts and replacing exhaust with factory stuff. I would not even consider it on a car you plan to drive for 5 years down the road. The only time i would do it is to sell a car quick.

yes, any CEL stored on the 2005+ disables cruise. Its a safety function when you think about it. Soon, they wlll make thinkgs when the CEL comes on, it disables radio, blue tooth, wireless etc, so you are forced to being the car in for service.

i would buy a code reader and just keep clearing the code when it comes back.

where are your location? go to parts store, they will clear the code for free after they read it.

I like the 3.8, but why not buy a good awd subaru that is 110% on upkeep? this looks like no rust so good start, but how many miles. it may need about 2500 in repairs just for roadworthy, shocks, struts, brakes, timing chain sprockets (they are plastic sprockets and let go) tires, etc. ammoina works good for tint gunk. razor blades work too.

nice to upload pics it must be on a site already (like photobucket which is free). You then go to that site, and click on the image and click the image to "copy image address" right click Then go to the USMB thread, and click the "insert image" icon looks like mountain with a sun, and then paste. submit. hope that is right. did you talk to the guy at Subaru Heaven yet? You can pm after 10 posts on here

oops, sorry , my post got on wrong thread. Mods move if you want. otherwise just accept as a quirk of nature.
