PLEASE HELP! where i am there are no autozones and i am wondering what any of you think it could be.

This seems weird, I have a 99 forester s auto, and the other day on a road trip the check engine light came on, which i have never had happen. But, everything seemed fine so i kept going, i dident really have a choice. We went about 500 miles more and the light went out on the road, so i thought great maybe just a loose gap cap and its over. Well the next day when i went our to warm up the car it came on. I was out running arrons that day but it stayed on all day, the next morning i came out again turned it on and the light was off. The road trip was thursday night, and this on and off thing has been going on since. But i have had the car up to about 75 and its not rough at all, everything seems to be in working order. Please help i have to go back to mexico and i cant get parts there! Ben

whats up with no replys, do none of you know whether or not i need to buy shocks with these new springs (i doubt that!)??? The springs are ironman. Really neeed help on this one Thanks everybody, Ben

The Subaru R160 LSD differential is this the right LSD for my 99 forester s auto???? Ben

Does anyone know someone or do any of you sell detailed plans or blueprints for a body lift for a 99 forester, and also a scorpion style steel front bumper but i really want a winch mount on the bumper if possible. I live in Mexico and i cant really get parts but my best friend here runs his own shop and has all the materials, i just need the plans. Thanks Everybody, Ben

I got my new springs but i was thinking is there anything else i have to replace like shocks or some bolt or anything? I live in Mexico and am going to texas to get my springs so i need to know if there is anything else i need while i am there. If i need shocks, what kind, what size, model numbers maybe?? Thanks, Ben

I Have a 99 Forester S and i right now am running the Bridgestone Turanza LST's. I have to say these tires do quite well. I have about 20k on them and they look brand new. I wanted some all terrains but they do not come in the 215/60/16 size i have to run. I live in Mexico and i put alot of highway miles on them and a bit of offroading and i can keep up with my brothers xj jeep.

I had a question....Why do none of the scorpion or any other steel bumpers have the foglights built in. I have the foglights and i want one of those bumpers sooooo where do i put them???? has anybody ever wired them to the rear bumper as reverse lights? Just an idea. Thanks, Ben

It became a standard feature in 2000 i have a 99 so i believe i dont have an LSD.....please correct me if im wrong i would love to be wrong on this one. Thanks, Ben

What can i do for 1000$ dollars, to best improve my offroad ability in my 99 forester s(auto). Its basicly stock right now, a set of Hella 500's on the grill and new ironman 2 inch lift springs. What is best? body lift, skid plates, bumpers, LSD??? I live in Mexico right now in the mountians so its all dirt and rock basicly. Thanks Everyone, Ben

Yes right now i have just the 2.5 with an automatic behind it, so what do i have to have to be able to run some 29's? Thanks Ben

Ok everyone i think i understand... let me see if i got this, i can run 29's with a 4in. body lift.. if i get a 5 speed dual range tranny? so if i got this all clear where do i get one of these trannys? mudrat sells them or just the adaptor? i really appreciate everyones help. Ben

So it wont all burn up if i try to run 29s on what i got just with a body lift? I was told by other people on here all the clutchs in the tranny would burn up if i went up a hill? I need the truth. Ohh and chef tim how does the EA to EJ tranny adaptor work? Thanks Everybody, Ben

I am trying to think of ways to get larger tires not huge but larger, without a body lift i just got my 2 in. susp. lift as some of you know, so there should be some clearance, SO here is the question, CAN I buy some 15 steel wheels with a HUGE backspacing on them so that the tire doesent sit under the strut????????? is this possible, and also as a side note what is the backspacing on these wheels and what would i need?? I have so many questions, its a wonder why im always on here. ha and ahh....what could the banana possibly be good for?? Ben

i think i need to clarify i was told i would need a divorced t-case to turn the 29" wheels not to lift the car, is this really needed? Also if i need one, where do i get one, what kind?????

I was trying to get a 4" body lift on my 99 forester to run some 29" kumho mudders and i was told i would need a divorced transfer case, what is this???? Thanks Everybody, Ben

go to this site and some one please tell me why the larger lifts are offraod use only http://www.funonwheels.net/hirisesubaru/pages/pricelist.htm Thanks everyone, Ben

I just got a friekin sweet deal on a set of 4 2" lifting springs for my 99 forester, only 100$, but i am wondering if there is anything else i need to be able install these???? I am also looking for a body lift so i can get some decent tires under there anybody got one cheap they wanna get rid of(im guessing no)? Ohh also what is the backspacing these cars run, i have the factory 16" rims right now i was going to get some cheapy black rockcrawlers, but dont know backspacing. Thanks Everyone, Ben

I have a 99 Forester S and after having a thread about turbos i guess thats not a good idea, so what about other ideas maybe STI MOTOR and tranny, can a forester even handle that much power?? I dont really need 300 hp as much as i would love it. Whatever ideas you have i would appreciate it. P.S. some guys told me that foresters were not good offroad, i dont know where they got that idea, i went the other day here in Mexico, and my brothers Jeep Cherokee (xj 4x4) could not even keep up!

What is a Divorced transfer Case? I wanted to put 29" Kumho Road Venture M/T's and someone told me i would need a divorced t-case. so......what is it? PLEASE Help!.....thanks guys

I have a 99 Forester S Auto(sadly) and im looking for a turbo kit not 22 psi or anything like 12-15 psi, i figure there should be one somewhere maybe something for another subaru that would fit? I have a trailer that i haul with my subbie and 165hp just is not cutting it. Thanks everyone.....

I have a 99 Forester S and i am trying too lift it as much as possible, well like 8 in. total. I am trying to fit the kumho road venture M/T's but the smallest those come is a 225/75/ in a 16 rim (actual size is 29.3 in.) since thats what i have and i would like to save the cost of buying new rims.... so i need 4 in. of body lift to do that. Is this possible, has any one heard of anyone doing it, what about gearing, is it going to create serious problems...so many questions with no awnsers. I would appreciate any comments. Ben
