the most recent " u pull it" junkyard i went to, EVERY single car had been turned jackless by the management of the yard. Too many previous idiots who used a jack, followed by a weight shift and falling over.....not good to just use a jack on any car. Suggest to use a jackstand.

there is lots foul language warning. and it somewhat long.

no to the rag. its a huge vacuum pul in there, thats why you cant keep it running with it off, vacuum leak. The rag will eventually get pulled into your intake and that is a problem. JB weld is how to reattach it.

its part of the silencer /ram air effect of the newer intake boxes. purpose is to not give you a noisy whistling, and it also improves power range.

"They wanted to change the oil filter and put back in the old oil" wow, thats all i can say I dont think that is going to be good. What kind of dealer would even offer to recommend something of that sort. Thats a waste, unless the oil was just just changed.

i like to throw this tire size calculator out to help http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html Its not always 100% accurate, but i think 98% maybe applies.

oops i was being a jerk for no needed reason. carry on. sorry.

mine are factory 100% the seats have 2 tabs on each seat with a tamper torx holding then to the welded to bed frame. Remove the tamper torx and then they pretty much flip right out. what more do you need, i can take a video of the removal but dont show to those who want to steal mine I carry the correct torx in mine so i can pull the seat out when i move say, riding mowers, long boards, or when i move my friends crap... seats pop out in like 4 minutes, and this is all factory stuff. ey are very removable with the correct tamper torx From factory -ahh i was not being so nice sorry.

umm i need to think on going more stock than sport mags. Guinness?????? Mick you seem to like these sport mags..

this will go on them... 205/60R13

that pic is the best center cap the other 2 are pretty degraded. Mick, are you following this, If i brought the best cap to you do you think you could repro with your sticker materials....????a thought.

after seeing my dads 98 forester, i would say they are as good as a 90-94 legacy, except for the headgaskets. In my opinion, comparing it to my brothers 99 outback it is way better. Comparing it to my parents 06 legacy, the 98 forester is way better. Comparing to my 94ss, about the same in quality my dad says his 98 drives better than the 06. To see if the headgaskets are currently failing, you need to test drive it for 30 minute highway drive, and then pull into a parking lot, with car running, and pop hood quick and look into the top of overflow tank. If you see BUBBLES, it is failing or has failed. Stay with something prior to 07.......like 98-07 the new ones are HUGE.

huh kuma say waht really the regular nuts no worky> of crap.

over by wash park, south of there on evans. and then "roos only over at colfax. i dunno? I think look up shawn W on this site shawn watson that would be the best for you, i think he is top nothc

these just arrived. I need one more center cap like this though they were 90 plus 49 for shipping. thoughts?

i will soon be ready. picked up 4 rims yesterday and restored them. tires were just left by fed-ex about an hour ago.

my svx is averaging 27.5 over the distance of 9thousand miles i have been keeping track. crx only getting 37.6 but that will be fixed next spring. 94 legacy sport sedan 5spd is averaging 24.8mpg over about 6k miles. 85 brat is still getting 24mpg. i keep all my cars tuned as good as possible from my shade tree experience.

i have the same orange one from there. It wouldnt even budge most of the stuff i do. anyone want it, used like 12 times, comes with case, instruction etc. 25 plus shipping. it is a paperweight in my garage.

you might profit from this mistake: clean those up with a scotchbrite, mask the tires off, and get some nice spray rustoleum on them, new paint, try to get some air in the tires, and throw in craigs for more than you bought them for, and include your paint cost... win win.

and i am not even sure the inner hub circle on your wheels is big enough.

there are lots of threads regarding warnings on pinch bolt removal, especially cars in rust belt, and new orleans is near salt water, and prone to rust belt type issues. you might HAVE to replace the knuckle hub.

2005 and 2006 had wheel bearing problems-that is recalled, and also headlight bulbs that only last about 8 months and continually bun out, that issue has no fix. Also, the headlight cutoff is TERRIBLE when they do work. also, look up heater hvac issues and lack of useable heat flow. there are also ghostwalk issues related to the 2005-2007 its a design issue, as well as alignement issues. also, paint issues of chipping and they have headgasket leaks too.

what mileage did these hg go out? gonna see LOTS more of the newer ones.....mileage is just approaching the limits before they blow on many of these. Subaru never did get it right i dont think on the ej25. that car is only 6 years old. sorry. was it even due for a timing belt replacement?
