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

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

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

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 -
