Brake booster hose
nipper replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThere is this word that comes to mind.... it strikes pure horror in some people. other people just look in awe, others wish it could be them, and yet others are non-plused by the word. Live not in fear, as it can be comforting ... NORMAL! 20-25 In Hg is normal for a healthy engine at idle.

You can only get as much vacume as there is barometric reading, but thats almost impossible on an engine at idle. http://www.classictruckshop.com/clubs/earlyburbs/projects/vac/uum.htm Now what is "too high" and at what condition. And no the PB system can not make you read too much vacume.

Window tint
No idea if this belongs here, but it is on a 89 Justy .... There is not a lot of glass on this thing. i will not be doing the tailgate, just the sides. Should I tackle this myself or just pay someone to do it.

Busted my 360 good
Ouch. Thats what usually gets you, not the mechanicals themselves but things that are made of plastic or rubber.

subi beetle conversion
There is a group called subaruvanagon on yahoo. They have a wealth of information in the group files. Tread lightly when you post there as they can get really snobish (read pita) if you talk about anything else besides conversions. I would dig into the files first befor asking them a question.

New here, Need input. Wiper issues?
Clean the plug to the wiper. I had this on the justy and it was a poor ground from the motor to the car body. This happening when it is cold more then hot tells me that it could be the contacts in the wiper motor are worn. Contacts shrink in the cold and expand when warmer.

Help with abs code
nipper replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXON a subaru 99% of the time an ABS light is just a bad wheel sensor or tone ring. The sensor has to be a perfect cylinder shape. They can erode and that will throw a code too.

prolonged piston slap.
nipper replied to Suba9792's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNever said they dont have skirts, just that are extreemly short as are most modern engines compared with older pistons. And another cause http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypereutectic_piston

prolonged piston slap.
nipper replied to Suba9792's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXExcessive piston slap is not always harmless. What is happening is that the piston skirt is knocking aournd in the sylinder walls (short explination), Usually it goes away in a 5-10 minutes depending upon how cold it is outside.'Slap lasting longer then that may be scoring the pistons and the cylinder walls. But the question is is it lifters pumping up just (an FYI example), a connecting rod bearing, wrist pins, carboned psiton rings or actual slap. The wrist pin or small end or gudgeon pin knock is very distinctive. It is a double knock in time with revs. It may or may not go away as the engine warms up. A bad lifter makes a single knock in time with revs. I would use seafoam first and see if it is a carbon issue. Time how long the noise lasts and what the temp is outside. Another FYI I wold check (and make sue) the idlers are replaced with the timing belt, but since GD did the belt, I am sure they were. A tensioner can sound like slap too.

nipper replied to Suba9792's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHow many miles. Usually the 2.5 have it more then the 2.2. Sometimes playing with different oils helps. PS that lsats this lonmg is not a good thing.

Site Upgrade and update-Please read.
Actually that is quite a lot for free site. Is there any way that an autopay system can be operated. I am not looking for for anyone to be berated or a tier system of usage, but for quite a few it may be eaiser to voluntarily give 5-10.00 per month if they can. Another idea is to put a paypal (or whatever is used) link on the first page you see after begin logged in (I auto long in so not sure what comes up first) just so it is easier to see. I know my life is f*****d up mostly but if the link was someplace easy to see i would always divey up more then my usual payment. Here is a out there open to discussion may fall flat as a doornail suggestion. Drop SOA a line and (if we MUST have a banner ad) ask them if they would like to pony up (eww a ford term). If we had to have a banner ad, i do not think subaru would be completly unexceptable. I know that Outback went to a ad based service (they sold out basically and did not warn anyone it was coming, all us mods thought it was spam) and it is a horrible system. Another possability, how does making money with google ads/help work? That is another way of going. I ran my own site for a while, after 3 years I gave up only because all the people who wanted it did not use it. It is one thing to face that then another to be pained with a working site that is well loved.

So in total, what is the software costs. I know it can be a little brash to just talk money, but let us talk money and let those who can give just do it anonomusly, and once the number needed is reached just do not accept any more. Lets start at the awkward number first

Calling all drivetrain experts
nipper replied to F419C's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNo it does not. For now forget the door tag it has no bearing on the issue at hand. What does is that the tires need to be the same size and brand, and equally worn 1/4 inch circumfrence is the max differential between tires.
