First of all, I would like to apologize if my post is in the wrong place. I am in need of good advices from you fine gentlemen! I need to change both my headlights and I hate to pay 50$ for a 5$ part. I would like to let you know that I know NOTHING in mechanics! I don't ever do my oil change myself. I know that in order to change headlight on 2005 2.5RS Impreza you have to take out the front pumper first... If someone would be kind enough to make a quick guide for me, or redirect me to one, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Keep in mind my knowledge in mechanic. So it have to be easy to understand. It can be in french to. Thanks a million times!

The answer is 2b. I was getting some stuff for my girlfriend. But it did it again this morning! The radio was playing and then... Nothing! But when I closed the door it start playing again. Must be a loose connection somewhere...

Yeah it's stock. But as weird as it is, I check the fuses this morning and not one was burn. And the radio and the CD wasn't working. I just got back from my errants and now it work!?!? As much I love my car, I always get little things like that! There's always something...

Hi! Last night my radio just went out! There is still lights (station on AM/FM, Track on CD...) but no sound! I check the fuse (#9) and he's still good! Another trip to the dealer?

I've got another 1000 km so I went back for my second oil consumption test and now I was missing 750 ml. And once again they tell me that is not much... I really don't know cars like you guys so I'm not really sure what to do... They tell me that's ok, but you tell me that's not... What would YOU do?

But in my case don't you think that is a little to much?

No leaks and I'm using 5w30. Well from the looks of it, the guy at the dealer is trying to pull a fast one on me... Thanks a lot, I'll talk to them at my next visit in 1000 km!

Good! Thanks for your tips. I wil try these on my friends cars...

Hi! I'm on a oil consumption test at my dealer cause I'm using at least 2 litre per 6000 km. Witch I think is to much! But on the test so far, I burn 400 ml in 1000 km. But now he is telling me that's normal. The car is a 2005 with 20 000 km. But they change the shortblock (?? I think it's the upper part of the motor ??) maybe 6 months ago due to a strange noise (something with pistons). So here my question! How much oil burning is consider ok? I know that a little is ok, but man, 2 full bottles per oil change seems a bit to much! Thanks! But the car run great as always! :cool:

And about the double clutching? How does this work?

Thanks a lot! I'm not a idiot and I don't want to screw up my car. That I love by the way. But like he said, it's not a bad thing to know. And I'm good with the clutch. I would love to make a couple of laps on a race track, just to see how is my driving skills! But back to the topic, I will try. But I will go easy! Thanks again!

Hi guys! I want to know how to do power shift! What's the best RPM to do it and so on... I can put it out of gear without the clutch, but I ain't brave enough to put it back in without more info! I have a Impreza 05 2.5 RS. Thanks

Sorry guys it's not for sale! It's a 1999 2.5RS that was badly crash and the dealer made a promo vehicule out off it. The top and mechanism is from a old Saab 9-3 cabriolet. And if you still want one, he says that it cost him +/- 40 000$ to do it.

Maybe 15 min from home! I've got to check this out!

I drove my sub quite easy for the first 15000km believe me that engine was thight. even your gas mileage changes afterwords. It's not easy to follow this but the results afterwords are; A very quiet engine, and no oil consumption and then you can enjoy trashing gears at red line! forget the last line. good luck! We all learn from our mistakes I guess! It's not so bad thought! It could have been worst. I can live with those things for now! In a couple of years the gas price would probably make me sell this car anyway, not because the engine is damaged a little! But it's a great car! I got to admit that I bought this car for having fun with a decent car while gas was affordable for everyone! In the future good/fun car to drive will be there, but not as we know it today! So, why not a Impreza! And I'm really happy with my choice! (Don't like the front look of the '07 thought)
