A little clear drying tub and tile... http://postimg.org/image/m7fqzhh2z/

Found the culprit!! This is peculiar, the PS upper corner of the Windshield has tiny portion unsealed: i.e. a smidge of the corner of the glass is exposed. I felt the rubber trim on the reverse side, it has a slight give where you'd expect water flow. I'll have to pour down some rubbing alcohol, and hit it with some silicone? Not looking forward to adjusting those frame-less windows, the PS one's definitely look off.

Sure thing, but edit the vin out of your post for your safety, I requested it be PMed for that reason.

There should be aftermarket dipsticks for this, it's not the only car with the same problem. My Mazda 3 with a Fomoco (Ford) designed dipstick was terrible as well.

2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R I HATE the stupid beeping doors, how could they F*&k that up?? You have to click your fob twice in succession to open all the doors, creating a bu-bee-buh-beep double repeat of the already loud and annoying, sound. No way around this!! Oh hey, you want to use your key to open your car? BEEPHONKBEEPHONK nope, you didn't disable the alarm, unlike other common vehicles that utilize the key as well. Let's warn you that you are attempting to lock/alarm the car while a door is still open BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP (oh it's loud). Luckily, there is a way to disable the beeping altogether, thanks Subaru for that useful feature. What do I like? This generation of the outback was rated the BEST car domestic, EU, or Asian for the winter. The next best thing, not surprisingly for me, is Volvo Cross Country Wagon (enjoy the maintenance and expensive bills for ridiculous issues). This outback has so much clearance, I took it through an ATV sand track in Upper Michigan, and 200 foot winter parking lot drifts are SHWEET with the 6 cylinder. I agree, the comfort and driving dynamic are what make a car for me, if I can't enjoy driving it, why would I buy one for 100,000miles or more. My cousin was looking for a new eco sedan. I helped him out, test drove the then new Corolla, Elantra, Sentra, and Impreza! I tried all trans and body configurations of the '13 Subaru Impreza (non-turbo of course) and I'm sorry but the interior was plasticy and cheap, it's eco 2.0L with the AWD was noisy and felt unrefined. The trim package they released for the Impreza, the utility wagon/hatchback only looked better, interior was more or less the same and.. same powertrain.

Not mention it would need tuning work as-is, for the different body dynamics and just from sitting around so long, no? I hope you realize I was just playing Devil's advocate Bratman, "/s" <=> sarcasm I'll stick to buying N/A, and come to you if I need help throwing one on ;D

My 87' Hatch also seemed to lack enough leg room, ditto Fairtax. My 1998 GF8 Outback Sport has two things that bug the crap out of me, the coin drawer is a royal piece of shiesse, albeit mine might be damaged. It must be tugged out, and you must be extremely precise, as it usually pulls out and then is a female-dog to put back in. The other thing? Piston slap. Do not like the leaks I have been dealt with the frameless doors. The 87' didn't have such issues. Have to crack open those door shells and see if I can somehow adjust them. I do not like them In a house. I do not like them With a mouse. I do not like them Here or there. I do not like them Anywhere. I do not like leaks much nor *slam*. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Hey, thanks for the ceruleans!

Oooh, going for the ole silent but deadly approach eh?

Mobile messing up!

Hmmm.. still, once installed, it will run like new right off the bat since it's "stock" (Super /s)

I just noticed what your def-pic is, rad!! I had an 83' Honda CX650, the only year they stuck the Motogucci looking twisted-V-twin on a Cruiser frame. Was a sweet sweet ride...

at the least, libations ..and that cute wife of his.. kidding haha just 'kidding' guys ;-)

ehem */s*, buu buuh its not original, and won't be plug and play!!

I found it before I could have finished your sentence lol

Mid-pipe has a resonater, not a cat, but thanks for the ballpark figure. I think I'll float 60 since I'll have to drive back up to him.

Full VIN check report, PM the VIN's please. Bird Mobile has a point

I'm replacing my 1998 Subaru Imp-Wagon OBS' muffler. Mine is in perfect condition, for a used one, surface rust on the pipe. Another OBS guy wants it off my hands since I'm replacing it, I don't know what is a fair price, I suggested $50. Now I can see that the muffler and midpipe will be unbolted and good to go for him, what do you all think? He's adamant about replacing the fart can on his.

Np, I'll follow this topic

Most questions like this can be solved by using Google, seriously. First thing that popped up is what you're looking for: http://www.planetsubaru.com/subaru-x-mode.htm I remember seeing a test video on a Forester using this to climb a hill, and then 5 competitor's domestic and Japanese failing to perform nearly as well. Really cool Bob, while I'm at it: This is what got me past the XV's questionable looks! Sam

Low gear could be used when you need to tread lightly! Such as creeping through ... a lawn uhm if you need to, without leaving too much damage. I'm completely unfamiliar with X-Mode, I bet it's on the new CVT Outbacks? Our 5-speed auto 2011 has no such features X-mode should for gravel and steep, unpaved roads, and for snow and ice as well. Between the two, it sounds like the dynamic choice, as you have tried to describe. First and foremost, CHECK OUT YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL It will all be there Others may still assist further, hope I helped! -Sam
