  1. Its highly recomended that the all aluminum engine heads be resurfaced. http://www.aa1car.com/library/gasket_failure.htm Finish is much more important with HG's then it used to be. nipper
  2. Not a good idea, mandatory. Also only use Head Gaskets from subaru. nipper
  3. snorkle motor is a vacume motor in the snorkle that opens and closes the door, its a diaphram. The temps switch is in the air cleaner itself. Follow the vac line back from the door motor and it will take you right to it. nipper
  4. make sure the temp switch and the snorkle door motor are working. nipper
  5. Put out catfood for stray cats. Thats about the best thing there is. nipper
  6. Actually the auto mfg's are pretty cool about it. Unlike some people on ebay who sell them for a profit.
  7. I have the manuals, i tired using bit torent but no one took advantage of it before. I have been mailing out DVD's of manuals in exchange for blank DVD's and postage. I have 1996 Leg/Out 1998 2000 EA81 parts and service EA82 parts and service 2007 Forester 2002WRX nipper
  8. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/steering2.htm Its one of those things you dont notice till you dont have it. Tires can have a lot to do with the twitchyness of the steering, along with inflation. nipper
  9. There are two kinds of interfernce fits, one is done by heat (or cold) and the other is a press fit. They are not interchangable as one has a larger tolerance then the other. Heat fit is a much larger dimensional change then a press fit, and may warp the part. It takes alot of heat (more then mots people have available to them) to heat up a chunk of metal properly. Of course then there is that entire OWOWOWOWOHOT thing nipper
  10. What happened to breakfast? How far away is this from exit 4 on the turnpike, just to give me a time reference. nipper
  11. This is probably considered glass and may be covered by your car insurance. It's not unheard of for moonroofs to explode, its not a sooby problem alone. nipper
  12. so at what ungodly hour do i have to be there, and where is there anyway? nipper
  13. Well thats because they never stop on sand, they just go really really really fast over it nipper
  14. i actually find some a bit disturbing. When you turn the key to start, for a split second nothing happens. Some of them are going to that really cool "start" button not because they are cool, but because the time it takes you to go from inserting/turning/entering the car to pressing the button, is enough for the computers to boot up. nipper
  15. It can take a revolution sometimes just for the computer to figure out where the pistons are. Back then you just needed the points to open and close once. nipper
  16. Material science has gotten much better, along with the design of engines. Not only do the smaller filters filter as much as the older ones, the engine also sheds less junk. The one thing to keep in mind though, and this is a negative, is that that is less oil capacity in the engine. nipper
  17. and some newer cars even have to boot-up the computers first. nipper
