Where to buy fenders?
I just need rust free ones, with no big dents. And I'm happy to pay for them, and shipping. Just need both sides at once, to save on shipping.

Suzuki Sidekick vs Subaru
I have seen and heard of numerous 2.5 head gasket issues with as little as 50k on them. That's more than old age. It had to do with a poor gasket design, and thin metal surrounding the cylinder walls that weren't good at dissipating heat well enough. And yes, 99 autos did have issues as well, but not nearly as numerous and widespread as the 2.5 head gaskets have been! I currently own 2, 2.5 cars. One has had head gaskets done, and one hasn't. The one that hasn't is the first one I have ever seen out of the ones I've worked on, and the ones I've owned that hasn't had any issues, and it has 150k on it. But the other one has had them done twice. Suzuki samurais go awesome. Had a friend with one that we put 235 75 15's and the thing would crawl over everything!

Suzuki Sidekick vs Subaru
It's actually funny you said something about NOT finding 1000's of complaints online about it. You actually do if you search for it. And 2001+ leak as well. They have done many revisions to try to correct the issue, yet it still happens. 96-98 was internal leak, where the coolant could cook the bearings, and mix with the oil as well. And the 99+ was external, where for the most part, it was just oil that leaked, but it still caused issues with overheating.

Suzuki Sidekick vs Subaru
It's actually not. Some just last longer than others before they leak. But both phases have the issue, just in a different way.

BOSS 1" crossmember spacer kit for BOSS 2" suspension lifts
So tempted. I have just never had much of an issue with my home made 2" lifts eating axles, and now that I have your kit, which is camber correct, it should already be a huge improvement. But I don't even have the car yet, so I don't know. But the new car will be EJ'd, so it may be better to have the axles at less of an angle.

00-04 Outback rust in rear door openings
bratman18 replied to WoodsWagon's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've always used scrap sheet metal. It does take a fair amount of time to clean it, and prep it for welding, and even more time to get it shaped correctly, but I always get it to fit in nicely. I usually make it fit in the opening, no overlaps, or not much. But as I said, it takes more time. I hate body work.....

But you can have custom tunes put on the AP along with all the other benefits. Many tuners can upload their tunes to the AP.

lifted EA82 alignment trick
Whenever I have lifted my Subarus, I have always had to toe them out slightly to decrease the front end lift, and increase tire life.

The Awesome Older Generation Picture Thread
^You should really start a tread on that. That's cool as hell. And check out the rear dished wheels, I love the stance.

Looks like mine when I had BBS's on it. Did you have to roll the rear fenders?

If he uses 93-01 Impreza struts he will need to change the rear top hat.
