Jon, I have drove Dan's Turbo Sedan after I did the Timing belt on it.

Isn't engine-breaking with an Auto not the best idea for the trans? Even though I do it offen for fun Lol. I find that if I do it more then twice, the pressure climbs to much in the trans and ATF leaks out of the block-off cap where the Analong speed cable would go. (Yes '95-newer have a digital speed sender) I also find the car has more pull if you shift it manually. Huh.

I like this post, its inspriring!

Been driving on Potenza G019s for the past two days, awesome tires, if this car was a 5spd, I would take it on the track and see what it can do.

Ok, good to know about the bleeding, just figured I would ask. The hoses I have are the same as what you have Kara, I would swap this on, leave your rotor unturned and put new pads on and call it a day.

Are you still hooked on the "Grandma Wagon" thing? How about the "Farout Badass Wagon" Haha!

Gary, thanks for the tips. The replacement hoses I got I can sure blow air through them easy, plus I know these hoses came from a car with proper working brakes. I agree that is isn't the caliper, as I said before, my Legacy has 216k on it and was owned by a dude in the ghetto for 205k and was not care for what so ever. So if my calipers still work, Kara's should aswell (Unless by chance its a defect, doubt) Kara, I am gonna reuse the Bajo bolt and washers from your old hose as I couldn't get the ones from this hose (They were gone) Never Fear, we will get you're car fixed this weekend and bleed the brakes. Question for anyone, Now do I only need to bleed the 4 wheels, or is there also a bleeder on the ABS box or something?

I would like to see the other side, and I don't think your calipers are the culprit. The problem with the duel port calipers Fox has, use a different style bracket, so it makes me wonder if these would be the same diameter. Fox, the style Kara has is the type with two 14mm bolts which hold the caliper to the bracket. Not the style you have, So I wonder if the rotors are larger on this 3.0 Outback vs the 2.5 Outback?

Yeah I was over there today, we finished some wiring, gots the fenders on, put on the 15" Alloy GT wheels, it now stands on its own! I like the stance it has, has a decent rake on it and looks badass. Has a Stinkbug stance.

"Whipsh" Where the pictures at? Because this thread is useless without pictures

I would assume he had a new Axle put in or rebooted as $800 is a lot just for brake work.

WOW, sure has come a long way in a short time. Thats the XT6 air box yeah? Wish I could have come down more to film all this goodness, Maybe I can at least get the first start-up when you do it. Or at least re-enact it for the sake of film. Looks very good!

Sounds cool, I will see what comes of tomorrow. Thanks! As for the Job, I wouldn't know off hand about any positions downtown as thats out of "My" loop. But it is in Tim Wessels loop and he is the area manager. Give him a call any time during the day at 414-336-4141, I know he is looking for people ASAP. And I know you know how to do all kinds of work, floors, basic janitorial etc. Good luck!

Awesome, I will try to get down to the Shop tomorrow if that works for you. I will call you tomorrow to see where you at. I will also inspect the caliper even more, The pistons seemed to press back in easy like normal, but good idea. The brake pads are almost like new also. Kara, I wonder, since you said the lady had the caliper replaced on the passenger side, I wonder what the pads look like on the driver side? Have they been done, or are they really worn. This is something we should also look at. Kara, let me know what time you want to get your brakes done this weekend. As Saturday I am gonna help Fox do Head Gaskets on a Legacy, so I can either help you before I do that or after. Either way let me know.

We will check out that hose, I might be able to get an entire duel pot caliper assy which I know works correctly. Waiting for a response from Fox. I am gonna rule out "Wheel Bearing" if the wheel keeps getting extramely hot, it will over time damage the wheel bearing and break down the grease, but I doubt this is the problem at hand right now. I'm sure you'll read my PM with all the other info

It might be a brake hose as Gary said, I have never had this issue, even with a Legacy that has 216,000. If anything, I might be able to get you a brake hose from a 2000 Outback down by Fox. If you still need to go to Westbend friday, we could stop there and grab it probably so you don't have to buy one unless your cool with buying one, dunno if any parts house would carrie the right lenth in-stock, but I'm putting ideas out there. To me the wheel bearing would also make some type of noise if it were bad, this car is super quiet. I will have to think about all this some more...

Pretty sad the dude doesn't even know what it is You have a thing for White EA82s eh?

Hope my rump roast hole isn't sore the next day...?!

I totally agree about doing it right, but if you can't really afford it at the momenet, you will be fine. You have no idea how long and far I drove my Legacy before I did anything to it and how many times I have gone up to 100mph with it.

Farms down by the river? What else goes on at this site....?

Heat gun works ok, but I use Mothers Back to Black. It soaks into the rubber/plastic and restores them and protects them. Give it a try, cause Ben, you know what my car looks like and how I keep up on it, so I'm not BSing ya.

I just hope the epoxy primer will adhere to the plastic and chip off after a few months. You could try acid etching primer, I used that on my Grill and it worked out.

Tow-Bar and a 20 year old Subaru will do you right

Haha, I'm gonna get flamed for this but. I have a can of Rustolium clear which I was spraying around the engine bay of the Legacy, so I did the hoses to, hasn't flaked off yet. I use Mothers Back to Black on the Loyale, thats the way to go if you car about your car. Its not like armor all at all.

Yep, sure has come a long way from this!
