I've seen a few, haha, I have really had zero luck with those tires. I'm not saying the problem couldn't be rooted elsewhere. But every set of those tires I've seen come through is all scalloped up.

What Bridgestone's are you running? The Grids and Potenzas are absolutely terrible for scalloping. I would put them right up there with Fuzions unfortunately. I would say it's more than likely the tires, or air pressures. I'm sure some people may beg to differ, but directional tires do not cooperate on subaru's. The only set I have not seen wear funny was my own Goodyear Eagle GTHR's. Otherwise, almost every set of directional's that comes through the shop wear's stupid. I've had much better luck, and terrific wear out of real cheap tires like Ironman, Starfire, and Hercules. For so much less money, they are quiet, perform very well for a daily driver, even in weather, and wear good their whole lifespan. Just my 2 cents

With some rotors you need to cut down that lip on the back of the rotor, I always cut it down flush with the rotor surface. The other problem is the backing plate sometimes gets bent out of shape on the bottom. If you take it back apart you will see where it was rubbing. With the plate, just take a good punch and knock it back where it should be. Also, on some of the later 90's, if the backing plate is bent out it will cause the ebrake cable to come in contact with the abs counter ring. This is also fixed by hammering the backing plate back where it should be.

Passenger side of the trans, directly behind the bell. They are hidden pretty good sometimes with the wire harness and air ducting there.

A WRX exhaust takes a little modification to fit onto anything else. I just modified one to fit on a '02 Impreza TS. It really did not add any noticable tone to it. That's with everything stock in front of the midpipe. The only problems are, the WRX midpipe is too short and needs to be lengthened about 3.5in, and the flange in the front needs to be turned to fit on the cat pipe. (If you hold it up, the flanges are opposite of each other. But it's no problem at all once you cut that part off to lengthen it.

I'm putting my chips on an axle boot.

They must be talking about the big hose that goes from the intake tube to the IAC.

To add to this, ANY EJ series crank pulley will bolt right on, and work just fine. There are two different styles, the difference is the holding tool used on them.

205's fit for sure. 215's rub on Outbacks, but I'm pretty sure they were fine on foresters. You have to watch your clearance with the strut.

As far as the IAC, that is how they look. Just one port, it is correct.

I'd bet on strut caps, it's extremely common on these cars.

Just change out the sensor. I've only ever used OEM, so I can't tell you how the aftermarket ones work. When you replace it, just make sure to clean the mating surface, and point the wire in the right direction so it doesn't get bent when you tighten it down.

Gary, if the pickup teeth are the same count, and are in the same positions you are fine. They are the same unit.

Flashing CE light indicates a misfire condition, that is occurring at that point in time.

Any oil in the plug wells? Bad plug well seals (extremely common) will make a good misfire when oil leaks in there. Otherwise, I would probably change the plugs. Coil packs are not the common of a failure. When I do see them fail, they fail good and crack on the outside, then you can really see arcing.
