I bumped into few rear LSDs on Ebay off JDM legacies. I always wondered what are those and if they will fit. Never got interested enough to research this question.

Decided to test the light too. Came on at a traffic light on a slight upgrade, went away when I reached hilltop. Did not light up for a few hills after that. Came on again when I was driving in a parking lot at the mall. Did not come on when I started the car after shopping. The car took in 13.4 gallons after that. I wonder if it is supposed to stay on once gas level drops below smth?

How about changing blinker fluid?

I think he's talking about this car Well, from my experience from about a year ago when I started searching for a Subaru awd wagon with a stick shift, milage around 100k and 2.2 engine - those are very rare in MN. For 5k I would have bought this one, if there are maintanance records and major stuff done recently (like belts/clutch). So go, look it over and bargain.

I do not think that selling to subaru enthusiast will be worth the money. He/she will generally be able to figure out a lot about condition of the car and bargain accordingly. I think you are better off selling it to regular folk, but for that you'd have to return the car to as close to stock as you can, even if you'll have to buy some parts for that (like oem wheels). I personally wouldn't buy a car if I knew that some 18 year old kid messed with it. Right now I would expect the engine, clutch and tranny syncros to be abused, and would adjust the price down accordingly. At 116k I'd say the condition of the car will affect the price a lot. If you have done belts/seals and stuff recently, changed the clutch etc and bring the car to stock (or at least put oem steering wheel/airbag, remove short shifter) - you can expect price around good-exc condtion on KBB. So If I personally had to sell it - I'd return it to stock and sell it off craigslist/local paper. P.S. And I would never understand mods like removing driver airbag for a fancier steering wheel.

Do a search. There are couple of treads concerning CC install. If 10? prong black connector is not behind glove compartment (that's where it was supposed to be according to installation instructions), then it is under the dash. In my case (96' brighton) finding mounting place under dash was obvious - there were two bolts sticking out of the metal plate.

Possibly a dumb question, but is your AC on when you experience this?

If ones is to use PCV hose and never done that before - make sure you clean the hose first. Otherwise some crap that might be in the hose will clog PCV valve and it'll stop sucking seafoam in. At least that's what happened to me when I first tried Seafoam.

Russia is here, dude

Carfax will show open recall (WWP-99?) if coolant conditioner was not added. Should be still possible to do it for free in a dealership. I am not very familiar with recall -but I think coolant conditioner cures the problem completely, and has to be added every time cooling system is flushed, or every 100k miles if not flushed ( which is bad idea anyway). Someone will have to correct me here. 2.2L on legacy stopped in 99, on outback in 96?. You can probably find 97-99 outback with 2.2 engine swapped into. These older models have been around enough time to figure out major issues, 00+ models - not yet. Check http://forum.subaru-faq.ru/ for issues arising when subarus are exposed to russian driving conditions/bad fuel/oil.

00-02 outbacks/foresters with 2.5L may develop external coolant leak via headgasket. You have to add special subaru conditioner to your coolant once in a while to avoid it. Other problems are minor - do a search and you'll find some wheel bearings etc. P.S. you are aware of import duty of 5k euro, right?

I'd say 4EAT is more forgiving, cause once you fry viscous coupling in MT - the only way out is to change it.

Hm Never bothered to check cause I run the same tires, but here it says "depth" http://www.cars101.com/subaru/tiresandwheels.html#faq 1/4" circuference is just above 1/32" depth and can easily develop under normal wear.

Subaru says tires have to be within 1/4" of tread depth (at least for my car). Thats like having two new tires and two almost bald tires. So it all depends on how long this dude is going to keep the car. If he leases it and does not plan to keep - he can do whatever he wants with tires.

Do you ever have this scratching noise while running? I have 1-2 second noise when I start, and then the same noise comes back after car warms up.

Non-functional scoop will actually only add to aerodynamic drag, reducing effective HP Wing will make cops like you. Especially STi one

This is from 99' Legacy FSM. You can get the whole thing if you search the board. Btw: Did you friend bleed only rear brakes? At least that's how I read your post... MSA5TCD99L296.pdf

I have switched the other way - 00' RS seats into 96' legacy. Was a direct bolt-on. Make sure you grab plastic covers that go onto rails in the back. Legacy covers did not fit impreza seat, so I suppose coverse is true also.

Check the fuse first. You might have a short in wiring somewhere that blows the fuse.

Modern oil contains detergents and can get "dirty" or "discolored" pretty quickly. And its no reason to change it. I agree on PCV valve - make sure its new and genuine part. If it was bad - make sure you clean PCV hoses cause they might be clogged as well.

Mine's not a bolt, just a pin. So I swing caliper up, and slide it back towards the engine.

If you're getting allseason I've heard BFG Traction T/A is fairly balanced tire did not try them though. You are probably talking about Nokian tires. Do a search and couple of topics will pop up, mostly about Nokian WR. Those are better than any other all-season tire in terms of winter/snow/ice traction. Not so sure about rain though and not so good in terms of dry grip (but no worse than average allseason tire)

I would have thought that torn piston dust boot made caliper grease beween piston and caliper body dry up, so it stuck. Just like it gets stuck if you tore guide pin dust boot.

Those aren't street legal in US.

You did On the other hand, caliper rebuid kit is like $20 and includes all rubber parts for 1 axle
