just had this on the 2003 baja. both emergency brake cables to the rear wheels were seized. I was able to get oil and penetrant to free up the passenger side, but no soaking of oil cold even free the driver side. Had to get a new cable. pretty sure the tiny cables were frayed enough in the driver side and once that happens, its toast. Baja cable was 25.97. outback cables look pricier.

this thread is turning hilarious. first we have vtec. then we get an uneven seat reason as twitch noted. lol, uneven seat, get it, when the seat side cushion is worn lol it makes you sit uneven.... no just kdding i get it, valve seat......right?.:-\

my 82 Brat and my 83 GL wagon had the glovebox mirror. my 85 BRAT nope.

eating is what it is doing, eating your CD's I bet it can be removed, and reset. probably some lever got hung up at the wrong time. probably will work fine after it is removed.

Kitty Hair. good stuff. we are talking a 3,000 dollar car here, not a 67 Camaro worth thousands if restored with new metal. Make it nice, cheap, and proven to work. Don't pay a body guy hundreds to fix a 3000 dollar car. And from your quote, many get junked due to the HeadGasket. A 1000 dollar repair on a car worth 3g, well, not worth it, easier to junk it.

BAJA and BRAT are non pull levers too. At least the Brat has the round shiny chrome turn knob on it, people are mesmerrized how to get that one open.

Wondering if anyone has ever used this stuff? called Gibbs Brand the link is here http://www.roadsters.com/gibbs/ I am trying to restore some sport mags and random came across this. anybody heard of it, or better yet, tried it?

Not much i can say positive about the alarm, cause the 92 model had 100% failure of them. What SVX.net recommends is putting the module in from a newer SVX, say 95 or newer, when they addressed the failing portion. It has same connector, and btw, have FUN getting yours out of the glovebox. What a terrible design of installation/removal.

overheating the EJ25 or did you get a code for this?

you still got more rust to cut out. pull the interior plastics, trim pieces. pop rivot som sheetmetal from the inside (license plate, old scrap metal etc). Then skimcoat it with bondoglass or kittyhair. Sand smooth. finish off with primer sealer coats, then some good paint. gotta appreciate the rust free ones when they show up.

hands clap for GD.

I remember OKC pick n pull last summer: lots of old nice rustfree cars, with HUGE hail dents all over totalled out from basketball size hail that hit. Can you get some scrap lumber and build some sort of 2x4 frame and cover it with plywood sheets over the Brat.

You guys get baseball to softball size hail numerous times a year. Nothing but a garage will protect from that. Are there any rental storage units you could find to put it in.

somebody is stealing your gas when its parked? maybe not Get a lock gas cap, cause when gas hits 4 bucks a gallon, thugs will be stealing it then,

The newer ones, if the car has something going wrong on certain electrical, the trans cannot be shifted if its an auto and no electricity. I have had connectors come loose from harness to trans casing this. I have seen dead batteries cause this. I have seen failed alternators or something loose cause this. Even with a key, without elctrical working eqauls no shifty in a auto equipped car. There is a "shiftlock" button accessed from near the shift lever that allows defeat of necessary electricity to shift. Also, if the car doesnt have the shift lock, can crawl under car, disconnect the shift cable from the passenger side of trans. Remove cotter key lock, removed cable, shift car selecter. Sometimes you don't have a key. I have had to do this on EVERY engine removal in a junkyard car (only auto cars) when the junkyard car has no keys, or no battery.

tow operator fail.

For Subaru's knock sensor standard wear item to replace after 100k same goes for CTS

MAP sensor.?

this is suck. Yeah it's totalled One reason the throttle stuck after is maybe you broke the engine mounts and the throttle cable was getting tight at the angle the engine slide. Hope you are ok.

dang, i knew i forgot to pick up the real extendable magnet thingy. What i use is a harddrive magnet taped to a screwdriver. I knew i was forgetting something again. yeah figured out the tape thing. hope the threads tap out fine, they should didnt go too much. even self discovered a new mount hole for the knock sensor.

Got "defeated" trying to change out a knock sensor last night. The angle wasa okay to remove it, but trying to start the bolt back kind of bugarred the thread. I did have a set of 3/8 drive swivel 6pt socket but something a little smaller would have probably got it from the start. So, i picked up these today i needed this. 1/4 inch drive swivels, 12mm and 14mm 6pt Crafstman 3/8 wobble extension 1/4 drive long extension I got beat last night on it, now i will maybe have better lucks.

As long as you know there is potential for bottom end damage, yeah should be able to get a decent 5-6 G price on a known bad engine/turbo.

unfortunatley, there is major failure rate (90% failure rate around 60k mile mark) on that era of Turbo Legacy. Something about the banjo bolt clogging and starving it of oil, then it pukes its metal guts into the intake of the engine. You can read ALL about it over on http://www.legacygt.com/ all you gotta do is join there and joint eh blown turbo group club they have. Sorry for the bad string of luck and poor quality issues of the newer era stuff. Are you still in warranty? If so, SOA will replace the trubo at no cost, but they are stiffing customers when it comes to engine replacement due to it puking into the intake.

cotton prices are . . . going.. ^ | ^ | ^ | use old socks, recycle t shirts that are stained. etc.

yep can say about same i got mine used rebuilt, same with the vent to lower housing, clip etc......my choke was installed in reverse, so when it heated up, it pulled choke closed........i was not so happy..... ? made in China? i bet. economy sucks, i am jobless. now, If you have question on how to vent your lines and hoses, i can take pics to help you.
