  1. is this each and 'EVERY' time you get in the car? or just every morning? Jamie
  2. on spark plugs? i highly recommend OE NGK's avoid the 'issues' by sticking with OE no need to upgrade or mess about with spark plugs unless you've a race car. but then again.. even my race car gets OE plugs cheers jamie
  3. I work for a Subaru Dealership which is building an online parts store. www.SubaruGenuineParts.com We will price match or beat any other on line store If anyone needs anything, just pm or email me for a price quote while the site is under construction. I'm around here a lot and check my PM's often Just another resource for you guys thanks and have fun Jamie
  4. there's a snap clip hidden under there it's not a 'fun' swap by any means but it totally doable. part should cost $20-30ish contact me if you want to verify i can get you a quote with 20% off... parts are new from subaru good luck! Jamie
  5. battery? alternator? and yes, we need more of a detailed description to diagnose. good luck! Jamie
  6. that code is for your camshaft position sensor something you defo want to replace and i've never done this one so not sure how easy/hard it is to do.... hope this helps!!! jamie
  7. shortly after the recall was performed on my car, same thing happened. i think that in some cases the stop leak additive gets into the thermostat, causing it to stick open causing some bubbling/spillage issues. i drained the coolant replaced the thermostat and gasket and did not re add the additive. i've not had a problem since! *shrug* not sure if this applies to you but in my case... that's how it worked out Jamie
  8. i 2nd that! http://www.ccrengines.com/ been around for a long time. very upstanding company, good reputation. Jamie
  9. from www.craigslist.org 1996 Outback 5800.00 AWD Impreza 1995 - $1500. 98 OBK Limited $5000 93 Loyale for $500 you can find good deals there but you have to check daily that impreza is a steal if it's a good runner Jamie
  10. i'll do that on monday for ya and thanks for the kind words rallying is good stuff!!! Jamie
  11. i'm not wrong. i am so so so very right. You CAN turbo kit the car. I never said you couldnt it will last, for a while. it will not last forever. it is not reliable. you WILL melt the block. no doubt about it a turbo kit costs $2-3k to install so if you feel like melting your money.. go for it. but it's not going to last . you'd be best off spending $5k and doing an engine conversion EJ20 or EJ22T cheers jamie
  12. you can just pull the fuses just be sure to let your insurance company know otherwise they can deny your claim in case of an accident. abs = not that bad you should consider the advantages in a real emergency situation Jamie
  13. if ALL of the dash lights are out did you touch the dimmer switch and accidently dim them and not know it? if i remember correctly the dimmer switch for the 02 is right next to the headlight switch on the steering wheel stalk. that could be your issue. Jamie
  14. if you need parts for your car and cant find them let me know get me your vin number and i will see what i can do. (i work for www.allsubaru.com) cheers Jamie
  15. if you cant find one let me know and i can get you one it'd be new, but discounted in price. Jamie
  16. why not order from a dedicated subaru parts source? www.allsubaru.com www.subaruwrxparts.com ? that is definitely NOT the right filter that you bought there. Jamie
  17. even at 4-5psi your shortblock wont take long to melt. cylinder walls are just too thin for a turbo kit i've NEVER seen a turbo kit 2.5 last Jamie
  18. i have an impreza 2.5L - 2001 average about 22-24 mpgallon not sure how that compares ? conversion anyone? Jamie
  19. by parts and do most of the work yourself! things you can easily do are: Rotate tires Change air and fuel filters Check brake linings Adjust parking brake Check C.V. joints Inspect exhaust system Check coolant level Check engine component drive belts and adjust as neccessary Inspect cooling system hoses Lubricate lock cylinders Check exterior light bulbs for proper function Check windshield washer and wiper operations Change gear oil Change brake fluid Tune engine Change spark plugs Clean throttle assembly and linkage Test/service battery DRIVE AND TIMING BELTS 2.2L 60,000 miles 2.5L 105,000 miles. Drive belts, accessory belts at 60k and 120k miles things to let the dealership do: service fuel injectors (beginning at 45,000 miles) Test emissions system Flush and service cooling system Automatic transmission service - drain and fill Drain and fill gear oils Adjust clutch and hillholder (if applicable) Flush and service cooling system Perform induction & intake system service Engine compression check (2.5 L and SVX if applicable) Set engine timing Check engine computer for fault codes you can save $100's by doing the bulk of the simple stuff yourself. Jamie
  20. i looked at it like this.... $300ish for a clear bra $2000 for a new paint job in 3 years time... hmmmmmmmmmm... yeah $300 sounded good Jamie
  21. the B9 scrambler is a CONCEPT car people.... they will never make it as a production car. thus the name CONCEPT
  22. you replaced the tires with new??? -------------------- has the car ever met with a curb? snow bank? anything?
