ContiWinterContact+TS810 appear to be excellent according to tire rack. I would guess that they cost at least twice what the Eskimos cost. So many great winter tire to choose from.

Make note of your stock wheel offset and make sure that you find rims that will suffice, i.e. not below 50-mm, most-likely. Check or prove wheel offset before you commit.

Effortlessly crawls through 1 foot snowy unplowed roads! Forward and in reverse. Wide footprint. Higher load index means that you don't really need to pump them up as much. Amazing with slush and wet. These tires are good on cold dry highway, they have amazing stopping power, Like bigger brakes! To the point that you have got to be careful that you don't out stop the guy behind you. I always rebalance before I reinstall winter tires again for the winer, because they have very soft rubber. Too bad they have to come off after + 6 c

The old awg standard halves it's resistance every 3 awg See chart http://www.interfacebus.com/Copper_Wire_AWG_SIze.html

typical portable generator 600 amps 900 amps or 1200 amps. Not 2000 amps.

VFD drives don't work in lighting Frame flicker rate must be constant , or sound revving engines make higher and more intense variable noises that by nature cannot easily be blocked . The one I'm talking about is creating 2000 amps constant across al three phases @ 1800 rpm. Rain or Shine Believe me it's allot to see. Redundant runs of 4ø might get allow you 375 X 2 (per leg). So you need 10 4ø cables to legally get that much power to the ground That is allot of juice for a 5 ton geny to lay down. 150 kWh subaru engine could lay down 1250/3 amps continuous @ 120 volts. More a than five single 4ø run could legally feed. In lighting terms that would be 15 ten-Ks, 12.5 12-Ks, 8.3 18Ks, 7.5 20Ks etc. So even if in reality it is only 12, 10, 6, 5, in number it would be still good.

150kw - loss from 150kw.

Yes to economics, but still one more piece in the puzzle, and l dreamt off long before I ever thought of subaru.

Long rant... For years I drove around truck based portable electrical generators. The largest was one wicked detroit based 2000 amp super cooled unit. I also worked a synchronized multi unit that could do more. I still remember the lovely run up the immensely high quality volvo marine diesels required when they started. But alas... I always wondered why it was that a bigger diesel in the front of the rig always drove the rear electrical generator around? Why not have one generator to do both? So in my mind I kind of pictured a large pickup type thing with generator and motive propulsion from the same unit. Mid engined so to speak. Considered electrical drive. Wet Sump. etc I always pictured a boxer engine to keep the center of gravity lower. Believe me things like this sink like a stone and are no good off-road, which is what I was constantly asked and refused to do that in the dodge based pickup/base geny. It looked like it could do much more than it could. The new 2.0 liter puts out it's maximum torque at 1800 rpm. This would make it almost custom tailored for electrical power generation in north america. So a light bulb went on for me! Who Knows what this thing might be like when mated to an alternator?

Those photos are pure techno porn. With Chains it's not the chain that wears out it's the guides and the oil pressure system that tightens them that goes first. This would be the best argument yet I have seen for a strict diet of clean high quality synthetic.

One of the key non lead octane ingredients is toluene. The Sunoco 94 stuff has lots of it, not to mention alcohol to suppress co. Unburned toluene makes benzene which is carcinogenic. You know that whiff of rubber like smell you get when you start most vehicles cold. The 06 impreza has none of it. It is the cleanest vehicle upon startup I have yet to personally experience. It's as if it is storing it away until it's at full temp? Still I still miss the old wide open throttle turns it all off obd1.

Anybody care to guess if that was auto or manual?

I agree pick the best subaru body shop not potentially clueless first timers.

Let the insurance pay for it. Pay deductible. But make sure they are fixing every thing! Your lucky in the grand scheme of things an accident valued at $825 is relatively minor ( I know ). Pay the money and let it go....... Chers!

One advantage of awd over 2wd is, after wheel lock up, any driven wheel is sped up quicker than it would be by mere drag alone.

That Legacy looks allot like the 07 impreza wagon dressed up in legacy clothes. I see now why the had to do away with it. I love it!

Does this model have hydraulic lifters ? You could just have a sticky / stuck lifter. A while back I used a bardahl product meant to unstick a stuck lifter. And after 3 successive applications it worked. ( GTI VR6 ) To my eye the stuff appeared to be not much more than a solution of graphite in varsal.

Agreed tires make all the difference. Was amazed at the spraying sound that the eskimos make as they churn and pump their way through slush and water, achieving much down-force like contact from what is yet a very dynamic element.

The Stock tire pressures for mine are 33 front / 30 rear. Aren't your front tires supposed to be more than the rears? Subaru tends to favor wheel travel over wheel damping. Last car when it had 200k on it. I put nitrogen dampers on the rear. Wow even the exhaust bounced less! Is this some kind of computer generated awd wheel hop induced feedback or somthing:headbang: ? Wheels. Shocks, Bearings, Sensors and Computer read out. Cover the basics.

Yes passive rear steering. The rear wheels move in a swaying radius, swaying in the direction of the turn. This way you feel that there is some planting of the rear wheels and you can turn around them. 60s alpha romeo spiders had this. Works like a compass in 90 degree turns. Used to do 90 degree turns at near 60 mph speeds.
