Yeah, that is a good point to start with. When I changed my rotors, I left the pads in the calipers so I didn't have to fool with all the pins and clips on the brembo 4 pots. Just picked it up and sat it out of the way as one whole unit. May just need to get some lube in there. Will try it out whenever I get a chance.

Noticed in the last week that when braking at speeds below 55, I get a single clunk or a knock on my STi. Definitely feeling it in the front. I recently replaced the rotors with Centric High Premiums in July. I pulled the car up on ramps last night and checked all my bolts that I removed to install the rotors and they were tight. I gave them a jiggle test, did not touch anything with a socket. Aside from noticing a recently slung open inner passenger side cv boot, I am out of ideas. I did have a problem when taking the old rotors off that they were seized to the hub. Speaking to a mechanic friend, he said his STi did this when he got some rust on the hub.

Well, the gasket is new. I do plan to replace the hose and clamps, not thrilled about using cut to fit crap. Is there a thermostat diy somewhere so I can find out if I did something wrong or not?

Well, after putting a metric ton of RTV on this thing, I am now leaking from the radiator house where it meets the housing. I shouldn't have to use all this damn goo to make it not leak. Either I did not install the thermostat gasket right or this housing is crap. I wrapped it around the thermostat like the old one was. After the first use of RTV I started getting coolant leaking out of the bolt holes, more rtv on them and that seemed to fix the problem but I still have the coolant coming past the clamp.

Good thinking. Will put some RTV on it tonight at the seam.

Last week I finally tracked down the source of my coolant leak to be at the thermostat housing. This evening was my first change to tackle the job on my 95 Outback. Put the OE gasket around the OE thermostat and slid it back in, no problem. Noticed while filling the coolant that I still had the same leak at the housing where it meets the water pump. What the hell did I do wrong? Is the thermostat supposed to support itself inside of the water pump underbelly as in holding itself before I put the housing on? Is my plastic housing warped? I gave it a good visual inspection and did not see a problem with the housing. Open for suggestions. Thanks.

Thanks. I assume that includes everything I would need?

Tom (TheLoyale) has been helping me with this but I figured it was never a bad idea to get more opinions. I was wondering if I could use the map light assembly out of my 91 on the 95 Outback since the 95 did not come with map lights, for whatever reason.

Wow, that thing is clean! Post some interior shots.

If you haven't replaced it yet, I would get you an OEM clutch cable and do it while you have it apart. They make a world of difference.

TireRack will also tell you OEM tire sizes. You just have to plug in what year and model the wheels came from. https://www.tirerack.com/

I have one and when my check engine light in my outback came on I was able to pull the code going down the road. I grew tired of Advance arguing with me that my 95 Outback was not OBDII. Told them I was not going to waste my time nor theirs if I wasn't right.

What site is everyone using now for the vin checker? The lincoln dealer one I was using no longer works. Edit: I searched the rest of the lincoln dealer URL and found a message board with this URL listed. Works just fine: http://www.getvin.com/

If you have an android based phone, I suggest you pick up one of these and get the Torque app. http://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Bluetooth-diagnostics-compatible/dp/B005NLQAHS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349279242&sr=8-1&keywords=obd+ii+bluetooth

If you pump the pedal with the car off, does the pedal eventually firm up?

Title sums it up. If I want to change the fan direction in my Outback, I have to give the dash a smack and the direction will change. How can I fix this?

I thought you were drunk taking a leak.

Did you do the radiator cap?

Oh my dear lord...

I'm with Wally. I would gladly pay someone who is experienced to replace my windshield. Being my luck, first rain storm I get the floor board would be full of water.

Would be really tough for me to go to an 05 Legacy with the EJ25. You could always find a set of low mileage heads for that thing.

Write down the code and post it for us to troubleshoot.

When you see water coming out of the other hose and not coolant. I will do about 2 or 3 minutes per hose.

I want this in 1080p!
