Since i want to paint the same color, what do i do with the body trim, like the door guards and things. I think they are glued on. I just want the car to look decent in my driveway so it doesnt have to be a perfect paint job.

Need some A/C repair advice.
nipper replied to afterbang's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou only really need to replace the drier if your compressor decided to self destruct or it has been opened to the air for ages, as the drier also acts a filter and would catch all the metal. I would call around about having the hoses made for less then what the dealers cost.

0w20 synthetic oil in 2007 impreza
nipper replied to bdecriscio's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX5W-30.Still do a first Oil change after break-in. In my 2005 I use 10w-40. The engien war replaced over a year ago with a Subaru rebuild. Check the oil regularly do not be alarmed if it uses some for the first 5K miles. I change mine every 5K miles as it is just easier to remember. The 0W oil is very expensive.

Painting
The paint has failed on my 89 Justy from sitting parked for many years (previous owners). The car is solid. I am thinking of replacing the two front fenders then painting the car. I have never painted a car. I have never preped a car for paint. I figure since the car is small, to quote My Clarkson "How hard can it be". I dont want a perfect paint job, I want a pretty at 10 feet paint job. Any tips or suggestions? It will be repainted in the original color so I wont have to worry about door jams

oil filters for 2003 phaseII 2.5L L4 Boxer motor?
nipper replied to nik danger's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI use WIX or Mobil One filters and change them every 5000 K (math is hard multiples of 5 easy). I don't like Fram filters. Ask yourself do you want to drive the car till the doors fall off, then it pays to go to a better filter, if not, factory is fine.

(FWD) FRONT WHEEL DRIVE {OPTION} ?
If you want better MPG, get a 2wd car. Otherwise you pay the penalty for AWD (and the best mileage for an AWD car)

2015 legacy 2.5i questions: price $21199 & excessive oil consumption?
nipper replied to stopshort's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUnless you need a car now, I would wait a bit. Oil consumption is actually a problem on a lot of new cars, not just subaru. Subaru may have changed the ring spec as 2015 owners arent reporting unusual oil consumption ..... yet.

wheel alignment?!
nipper replied to A_racing_driver's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI was told the same thing, I went to another shop and they got the bolts loose. I think its just a matter of how stubborn the mechanic is working on the car. Some wont be beaten by a couple of lousy bolts.

The Justys dash was dim. I replaced all the dash bulbs. They were all working but were foggy or discolored. Now its a nice bright dashboard again.
