im hoping its the filler neck....still didnt get to look yet.....although it was coming from the top of the tank....maybe it was just run-off that i seen im going to look in my haynes manuel for a diagram of the fuel storage system...do u think its the same for a legacy and impreza? haha b/c my manual is for a legacy...cant seem to find any for imprezas does anyone know how the gas tank is connected to the car? wouldnt there be some kind of sealer between the car and the brim of the tank i wish i had more time to mess with the car....my g/f's car is acting up too...loud ticking noise...faster as rev'd that'll be another thread with a sound clip...once i get the time im gonna check the oil...maybe that could cause it? ha i still appreciate all this help....that vac idea sounds good for me....as long as it wouldnt mess with anything or cause me to inhale toxic fumes and die...i remember someone having the filler pipe problem awhile back...they even had a picture of all the road salt packed in there

i bought the car 8k miles ago....so if they did or not i dunno...but yeah i do too ha...whats bad when u do? im gonna start pulling it apart now....it could be possible that something is rotted out....b/c now it isnt leaking...after i filled the tank for the next hour it was thanks for the help....keep it coming p.s. im watching the x-games rally thing on abc....check it out

since i bought this car i have always had to deal with the raw fuel smell...however today i noticed a puddle of gas on the ground where i previously parked the car......looked under the gas tank and witness gas pouring out of the top of tank (where it meets the car) to the ground...soaking everything in site.....what should i do? is there a gasket that is between the tank and car that could be replaced? i guess i can do some research but i figure i'll post it for some reply's from someone who this might of happened to before....or for someone who this is happening to now keywords: gas tank fuel leak smell

EDIT: do 90's come equip'd with turbo?

drive it.....growly might just mean noisey....i know my 1st 2nd and 3rd are noisy....try taking off the shiftboot and its even more noisy if it runs and drive well...buy it

i only paid like 60 for mine....i got it through 1stsubaruparts.com or something like that

you'll also need a torque wrench ...if your going to do it the right way...i forget what the torque is but if u search you'll find it

oxygen sensor?

well then...problem solved....amen

if u want i will experiment for u my g/f's fwd impreza has 13's and my 96 impreza came with 15's i could take one rim off and put it on the other then i'll let ya know

so which 2.2L do i have..non-interference or interference? 1996 impreza L 2.2L AWD 5-speed, Single port headers, OBDII srry to hyjack....just wanted to see some opinions i was always hoping it was still non-interference since its a 96

i've got a set...actually two sets and i think they should clear your brakes......dont take my word for it....but when i got replacement pads for the car i got the brake pads for a 13" wheel (b/c thats what it has)...took them home and they didnt fit...so i called back napa and said they dont fit..we couldnt figure it out, so then i asked him to measure the 14" wheel pads with a ruler and they were the same measurement as the ones that were currently on the car.....so i guess the calipers that are on the car are also the same calipers for a 14" wheel, well at least the pads are for sure note: this is coming from a 93 FWD impreza L.....so maybe since its FWD it is equipped with better front brakes...i dunno? hope u could understand this^

haha you what man....u must have posted that as i was posting my message or something.....b/c i didnt see that a few minutes before i posted...... thanks for the help

theres definately nothing i could do about it??? haha i actually bought the bumper like that to see if i could fix it....what do you think would be my best bet at making it work..what about epoxy or bondo Link with pictures: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1044016 its so hard to find these things cheap, or to find them at all...and impossible to find at the junkyards around here

i got a couple of questions 1) what should i use to fill and smooth a hole in my front bumper? epoxy?bondo? fiberglass resin? theres gotta be something that wont crack and pop out when flexed 2) will RS front axles work on 2.2 impreza L? both AWD both standard anyone do this before...im going to replace my axles and found some rs ones 3) i picked up a cheap carbon fiber hood b/c its cracked and all banged up....so i figured i would reinforce the places that its cracked to strengthen it up...and then sand it and paint it b/c its all banged up and i dont like the look of carbon fiber..... i'll try to post some pics of the areas that need attention....but basically its a fiberglass hood with a CF top layer....it cracked and now the FG base is exposed, so i thought i would just dump alot of resin into the broken up FG to strength'n it..and then add a sheet or two of FG underneath it too...maybe this is too hard to explain in words....i'll try to take pics and just ask how u would do it

yeah i've heard something about that split boot thing too....whats the deal with it?? any link? i guess i could always search it im going to see if i can take the parts back on monday....if they dont take them back for any dumb reason then i will be screwing around with my balljoint untill it lets go thanks for the different perspectives....i was hoping that this was get some attention...my car has over 198k miles....i guess when i install my rs suspension i'll just replace the half shaft instead of dealing with the mess and misery of taking apart the cv joint maybe i'll go to the junkyard on monday and take one apart if i think its pretty bearable....then i'll do it to my car, but if i start loosing ************ like ball bearings or little snap rings or w/e is in there....then i'll wait

i bought the parts straight from the dealership....i'll have to read the reciept about the return policy.....anyone know off hand what a dealer charges for one of these?

the other day i noticed my rim was all muddy....took a closer look and realized my outer boot tore and dumped grease all over my wheel.... well i bought a replacement boot,grease and weird clamps from the subaru dealership for over 25 bucks......i started browsing through the haynes book for replacing boots....and it looks like a whole lot of work.....i have a 96 impreza L AWD with almost 199k on it...and i know for sure that its not going to be fun trying to break the bolts holding my steering knuckle....i've never replaced an axle or had to pop a ball joint....but like i said it looks like its gonna suck for just a torn boot you guys have done it all before....are there any easier ways to do this job that i should know of ?? or how would you recommend me changing this boot...i talked to a couple of friends bout it and they just say let it go till it breaks...which sure who cares if its not their car...but i figured 25 bucks is better than whatever a used axle would cost and still having to do all the work..... let me know what you think...or what you've done...as far as keeping water and dirt out of the joint thats not going to happen.....im constantly driving on dusty dirty roads and the past couple days that its been torn has been nothing but rainy/hail stone weather....and yes wouldnt you know i had to take a 100 miles trip back and forth in the storm the same day the boot tore thanks in advanced -sean

man if i lived a little closer to u....i'd probably buy it myself but gas is too high to start driving for a 300 dollar car haha ....unless....i could turn it into a trip haha, go see the statue of liberty of something

post some pictures

my 96 impreza 2.2 awd 5-speed has 198,000 miles....and i still drive it like cars should be driven......for 300 bucks, i would definately buy it just as an experience.....that and for someone who doesnt have a car at all...and cant really afford one that is the perfect candidate.....if it was near me...i would buy it in a second and just take it offroad

yeah im waiting for my headlights and grill to come in the mail....along with my rs spoiler...then all the old stuff goes on adriennes car including my old maroon hood...which the pictures dont show yet] those foglights suck....but they look nice i'd like to be able to find another set of them...but its almost impossible.....so im just gonna go with an rs bumper and then some hella's the covers are actually glass....and the one that is broken on my car is the only one that still works the other ones bulb is shot...there probably prettu durable...but they came broken with the car

this is the picture of the gap between the headlight and bumper that i gotta fix (down) my car^ my free hood ^...debating is i should keep that little decal on it or rip it off if u guys are bored and wanna check out more pics go to the link: http://community.webshots.com/myphotos?action=viewAllPhotos&albumID=551784153

yours what all crapped up on the magnet? and ur diff fluid was a dark milky grey....i was thinking the worst when i seen that....kickin my self in the a** for not changing it earlier...i always knew something was up with the rear diff....b/c of the harsh noise from reverse...and no it wasnt just the normal grind b/c of the straight cut gear

i was a little worried about using the teflon tape too...but now im somewhat glad i did....wasnt planning on forgetting the junky washer......i used teflon tape on the rear diff bolts too....probably shouldnt have but F-it i had to use the impact gun to get the damn things out next time i shouldnt have to
