They drove the '09 WRX, I did.

You are correct, two bolts hold it on and there it is. Also remember to get the Subaru gasket that goes with it. Here is a picture for reference:

The thermoswitches are notorious to go bad on these, I went through 2 of them. If its not working, you can always ground it to where it comes on with the switch. I would also replace the radiator cap while your at it, never can hurt to do that. Like The Scooby said, stick with the Subaru thermostat.

Its better just to stick with Subaru thermostats. They are not that much different price wise and I and a majority of the board swear by them.

I sold mine for $1700 with 250,000 miles.

Mine is as well. http://www.vinbee.com/cgi-bin/pv_fetch.cgi?vin=260273388075&veh=subaru-brat Took forever to sell the thing.

Monstaru?

Good luck is all I have to say. Grayson Subaru in Knoxville runs a scam where they etch the last 6 letters of your VIN into your door windows. They say they do this automatically and charge the customer $1200. I argued with the salesman for 1 1/2 with the fact that I am not paying for it. Then to beat it all, the car wasn't even etched yet. I followed up the case with SOA and they told me that they were unfamiliar with "VIN Etching" and said they cannot govern other dealership's policies. If I was making payments on my RS I would have followed up with the BBB.

Everyone says: "Won't that catch on fire?"

Was not aware the Baja had something like that. Anyone have a picture of said item in action?

Brian those wheels really set that BRAT apart. How long before you drop you a t-top roof in there?

I smell a ticket.

Holy crap dude. Gonna be the first to say it, well there's your problem.

I vote regular old EA82 coupe as well.

Jackpot! Good to hear. We all here at the USMB know how much of a love/hate relationship you have with that coupe.

Good luck, again. I always look forward to seeing the pictures of your project. Hope to hear good news later.

Thanks for the advice guys. I will try and pay more attention to what its doing here in a few when I leave work.

I did not replace the rear rotors. I assumed it was front being that my dash shakes violently and I do not feel anything in the seat to suggest anything from the rear. Wouldn't a bad strut give me issues in suspension when going down the road, not just in braking? I have zero noise from there if I hit a bump.

Good grief I hope not. Money as tight as it is, I had to scrounge up the money for pads and rotors. I will check the steering components next chance I get, weather permitting.

Been almost two years. I hope he get the problem resolved by now.

Nice WRB '98 RS. Way to knock that thing out quickly.

I've managed to clog a heater core with that stop leak stuff. Good luck man, lets hope your right about the core. Sounds like it though.

Outback Sedan in my opinion. You should see the ground clearance these things have.

That is what my dad suggested. If weather permits, will check tomorrow.

I bought my RS with a bad front end vibration when braking that would shake the whole dash. I just passed it off as warped rotors and been saving up for new ones. I installed the new pads and rotors Saturday. The after-installation drive I noticed a slight difference in stopping distance but the violent shaking has yet to go away. What else could this be? -Kyle
