hopefully the pump is not fried.... typically when they run out of PS fluid they are toast tho... good luck! Jamie

start the car.. put it in neutral have someone get in the car and depress the clutch pedal. if the chirpy chirp stops... it's your t/o bearing good luck! Jamie

wow you guys are too great! and this makes my decision even harder... heh we have a decent compressor... i would use the cabinet for smaller items only... i think that's the route i may go. still have some research to do, but i think i am on my way thank you everyone for your input. Jamie

okay i'm leaning towards a bench or tabletop cabinet and do i use this silica sand stuff.... (sounds scary) http://www.northerntool.com/images/product/images/155472_lg.jpg or the new aluminum oxide particles.??? compressor i have.. it's plenty large should work fine... You think i need One of these Moisture Separators <--- as well? any other suggestions? i do not plan on using this on the body. wheels, and heavier bits that need it for the most part... Jamie

rear bumper.... rear tail.... rear glass search : www.google.com for : used-subaru-parts should find some useful info couple of my faves that have worked out well: http://www.halspartsandservice.com/ www.aaronsauto.com http://www.uneedapart.com/used-subaru-parts.html Jamie

thanks for the tips guys! was thinking of using this mainly for 360 wheels, and bits.. most of which are steel... i can hand sand the body bits... i was thinking of something like this lil unit -->click me<-- ??? what do you guys think? Jamie

yeah if i go the compressor + hose route... i'll probably buy a nice hood/gloves/mask and use a huge tin barrell or something... just not sure if the attachment/hoses work and all i all they end up costing about as much... (hose attachment vs benchtop cabinet - 27"er) but with a cabinet, i'm confined to the spacing within the cabinet... what if i wanna blast something that doesnt fit within it just not sure what to do... arrrggghhh!! jamie

hmmm i think that indeed they do. to be certain... scan their on line store? http://www.whiteline.com.au/store/ or contact maybe an MRT dealer as MRT has the lock down on all Whiteline parts. www.mrtrally.com good luck to you Jamie

It can be done i had 75k on my 2001 RS front pads when i got bored and decided to swap them for something more aggressive.... they still have about 50% left in em.. the original rear pads are still on the car.... hehehee 103K... that's great Jamie

sounds PS related to me.... did you check the fluid? how was the PS fluid level?? Jamie

kinda like a cricket chirping squeak? or something else? cricking/chirping/squeaking = throw out bearing on clutch... really annoying noise too... i've gone through 4 of them chirp... chirp... chirp.... Jamie

it will not be a bolt on. you'll need to likely rotate flanges to meet up... maybe even custom mid pipe also you will in all likeliness need to relocate one or more of the rear muffler/exhaust hangers... any real exhaust tuner shop can sort this for you. good luck! Jamie

heya gang diving into my 360 Sedan project and have tons of misc bits that are perfect, minus the surface rust.... they need to be blasted before I can use them... (as do portions of the car itself!) have any of you purchased your own sandblaster? what works best? gun adapter? blasting cabinet? even bench or tabletop cabinet? i've just began to research and it's overwhelming when u know squat about it!! THANKS to anyone who can shed some light and input.... Jamie

have her email or phone me i currently rally in SCCAPro and Club rally... one of the only females out there driving - have won a few championships in the past 2 years... as well as a private hired drive up pikes peak if she's interested!! jamie@subiegal.com 800.426.1332 x161 daytime. www.subiegal.com <--my home page jamie

why would you change your oil at 1000miles? that's total overkill... break the engine in and change it at 3k as recommended search on oil brands. many prefer different brands for diff reasons. i use a synth blend... seems to work nicely. save receipts from any self warranty work... good luck Jamie

grinding while going in to reverse is normal. until 2004, revers was not synchronized if it doesnt wish to go into R put it back in 1st...roll forward 1" or so try again... this will get the gears meshed up and make it easy peasy to get into R good luck Jamie

research at: http://www.cars101.com all u need to know is there. jamie

95-99 Should fit just fine GT's beginning 1997 - 1999 had the scoop. good luck Jamie

another option to consider? 1 - remove fog light from car and dry it out... 2 - replace the bulb 3 - cover both fog lights with StonGard shields. these create a solid seal and keep further moisture out of the light (the moisture is what killed your bulb) - at the same time they protect the light from further rock damage. I have StonGard light shields on all of my Subaru's... stuff, works, great!!!! StonGard is a transparent adhesive material that does not affect the light output, but does protect the fog light itself from rock/debris damage.... see: StonGard light shields here hope this helps. Jamie

could also be starter CONTACTs.... we sell a TON of them at work (subaru dealership) cheers Jamie

i dont think they've determined run times per class as they are unsure as to how many folks are gonna show up?! heck, i didnt even hear word one about this until someone posted a blurb on nasioc... then i had to check and make sure it was indeed, true. nothing like "no advertising" *laugh* i'd just show up when you can... and take it from there... unless they update the web site BEFORE the event?!? see u guys there Jamie

c ya monday and c ya @ the rallycross Jamie
