Why are you removing them? Looks? -

USMB Shirts 4 Sale at WCSS
ShawnW replied to ShawnW's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Right around September 1 I will have an order thread going. -
I seem to remember the noise being a factor. A couple of washable air filters (K&N) might be cheaper than all the tubing and such.

If they don't sell ship one to me!

I agree. The Impreza chassis is incredible and it feels very GL like in size and fun. Lots of the time I wonder why I upgrade the old body cars since most of the time I should just be putting the old trans in the new body instead.

USMB Shirts 4 Sale at WCSS
ShawnW replied to ShawnW's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Of course! Ill ship you whatever you want if one in the box isn't the size or color you want. -
Bring some extra cash to WCSS if you want one of the new USMB shirts. Show visitors get first dibs on the first run of shirts but they will be available to everyone in the coming weeks. If your size/color isn't available at the show fill out an order form and either write a check or give cash to them and I will ship the shirt to you in a couple weeks. There are Gildan ones that are the same type of TShirt as we had printed on in previous runs, and then American Apparel ones that are really comfortable and lightweight. Will also have a couple Sweatshirts to show at the fairgrounds. The Gildans are $12, the American Apparels are $18 and the hooded sweatshirts are $30. Only the Gildans will be available in person at the show but samples of all the offerings will be there so you can order anything that isn't available at the show and have it shipped to you, just fill out an order form.

Honestly both of your points are valid. The KIA/Hyundai cars can be pretty poorly built, and the Subaru CVT hasn't been a fan favorite for every driver. Its personal preference and Jack has a right to his opinion. I personally think he could go drive the new Impreza from the dealer lot before making a final decision. The car is great and the CVT in that seems even better than the Legacy one to me. The legacy you drove may have had a reflash done or not, a fluid change that it shouldn't have, etc. Drive another car before you throw in the towel on all Subaru's being bad. Or just find a 2010 or so Forester or Impreza with the old 4eat transmission. Great vehicle and a proven automatic transmission.

Look in the Repair Manual forum here, there is a writeup on it. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49952&highlight=speed

I have been on both sides of it and when in training I proved myself in a week and went to full technician. I felt for the guy supervising me but I was teaching him as much as he was me so you could be okay. It all depends on who you get and how smart they are with a wrench and the customers. When I had someone working with me, I actually made more money than I did without. It can certainly go both ways.
