No running (tail) lights
Sweet82 replied to Reason01's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI was getting my Forester safety inspected recently and the inspector said none of the rear lights worked? I pulled out several of the rear bulbs and put them back in again and everything came back to life? Have you messed with your bulbs? It worked for me? (and who knows why?) Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester--all lit up again...

Contacted 4wheel & off road Mag re:WCSS
S'ko, We have elected you the official promoter of WCSS7. However, some how, I think we are looked down upon by others in the 4weeling community. I have to wonder if we could get a good serious write up in the magazine. It would be cool if we could though?

Cleaning under the hood...
Does Engine Brite hurt paint I have Simple Green around but have never used it under the hood? Thanks, Glenn

5 speed conversion,....Driveline length...51 inches??
How are you going to insure it's balanced? When I built the Buggy, I had the pro's do it because, I figured I wouldn't get it right? Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer--18" taken out of the D/L 01 Forester

Cleaning under the hood...
There is no easy way. I second what TheAlleyBoy said, Engine Brite and some Quarters. I let it soak in while driving to the car wash. What won't come up after that...Engine Brite and a scraper/scrubber. Once it's clean, Keep it that way!!!

Weak Seatbelt Recoil - Can it be fixed?
Right! They have got to be mounted exactly as they were. Make sure the part numbers are the same. In my Trooper I had to use the opposite rear in the front to replace the mechanisms. It's a cheap easy fix.

Pics from Miami Subaru meet/cruise
I does seem kinda like a party at a dealership. I'd bet if you had that many old school Subarus together you wouldn't finds two alike. Probably not even close. I think the old ones have more character/dents I like the new Subies, I just like the old ones better. I can see all the new ones I want at any given intersetion. I don't see a gen 1 or 2 even once a month. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

JDM models
I love the mirrors on the front fenders. Why do they have those and the larger side view mirrors too? Reminds me of the real old Japanese cars. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Question about hatches
Ok, I admit it, I got the "turbo" emblem off a Mustang. I had it on the car for 20+ years and no one ever said a thing, Not even the dealer! The sad truth is there are no real Turbo Hatches, and I think there was only one fake one :-p Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--no place to put the "turbo" emblem 01 Forester--plenty of places to put emblems???

Weak Seatbelt Recoil - Can it be fixed?
I've swapped front to rear before on different vehicles. Worked fine. Rear seat belts are usually just about new.

Subie blasted by lightning
Sweet82 replied to Sydfloyd44's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI was out of town too (Moab). I never heard about this either? Something Subaru Related finally happens in SLC and no one here knew about it? Just glad it was not my Subaru Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Why is my car tilted now?
Put your Pugs on and be done with it! You could waste Pug money on fixing this problem...? Re-check your tire size, tire pressure and do some rotation experiments.
-
I wrecked my wagon!!pics!!
You can't change the past but... It sounds like things are working out well. If they total the car you can mess with it even more. Or if it's not fixable, you do have your three door. You may get some play money out of this? Hope everything goes well! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
-
ok, who does brake jobs in the seattle area?
Do it your self. Rotors can be purchased almost as cheap as you can turn them. If a caliper is hanging up replace it. Use your angle grinder key to spin the pistons in... and call it good. I've done it w/o real tools before. Just another opinion... Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Chevy Rims
I used basic measuring tools. As long as you measure "center to center" of the wholes you should be good to go. Before you drill measure the distance between all the lugs and the distance from one lug to the next. If they are all the same you should be good to go! Center punch the holes before you drill to eliminate, drill bit wandering problems... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=1386&sort=1&cat=500&page=2 Easy!!!

undoing mag wheel lock nuts
A grinder might work well??? Give me two minutes with a grinder and I'll get them lug nuts off. Prolly won't be reusable but it will still be fun!!! Don't take no for an answer Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

Loyal ignition lock problems
A dealer can cut a new key from your vin. The key code is in their database. My Subaru Dealer will cut "courtesy" keys for free. Give a new key a shot! If it still won't play, I'd look to a Junk yard for a new switch. If you want to get fancy then collect all the locks out of the JY car and "rekey your whole car". Look for a JY car with a good key. The key codes for the lock are inside the door on the lock if you can't find a perfect JY key. Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester

To part or not to part that is the question!!!!
If you rebuilt it then it should be close to ready to run? What is the engine not doing? Can you give us some details? If I'd rebuilt it, I'd be looking to make it pay me back with some good trouble free drivin! Let the board take a crack at figuring out what's wrong. Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester
