CHrome thing is a bezel. I see them ocassionally on ebay. I like my idea better .... GODZILLA! nipper

Thankyou for driving your subaru for fresh air, press one for recirculated air, press two for an operator, press O nipper

If its an emergency manuver, it would be air pressure and roll bar (and bushings). If it some wierdness in a straight line, its air presure it seems. nipper

This is kicking around the outback board, and it looks like they are really sensative to tire pressure. 31 psi seems to be the magic number. Go higher then that and everything gets scary. If you feel like reading 10 pages of posts http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11267&perpage=20&highlight=dangerous&pagenumber=1 One guy did extensive testing with dead weight in the car and air pressure and 31psi may resolve it. nipper

no sunroof correct? nipper

One is the ejector seat, the other is the anti Godzilla defense system nipper

Thats my kind of snow boarding.... say.... How do they git it on the ski lift? nipper

And your ahead of me, i use my best freinds foot nipper

i keep forgetting about that recall that would do it. nipper

Usually, if you use an OE o2 sensor, it will last way beyond 100,000 miles. Mine lasted 180,000, and it saw a hell of a lot of NYC driving (you dont get much more city then that). Th o2 sensor usually throws its own code unless its long in the tooth, and getting lazy. there are tests with a multimeter you can do check the sensor. nipper

Next time the CEL comes on, make note of the weather conditions, it will help us diagnose. Clear the codes, so we can start off fresh. How long ago did this start? nipper

Thats what I thought, i was wondering if i missed something from someplace. This guy Junior tend to piss me off at times, I read his column as a big ad for aldata and delaerships most the time. nipper

Also last time the timing belt was changed?

How many miles, auto or manual? nipper

I have always done this when bleading the brakes. Use a turbey baster to get the old fluid out of the master cylinder, put in fresh, and bleed. Today in the automotive advice column, there was a letter about DOT3. The columnist (who i am not a fan off for his usual response of take car to dealer), said to use the turkey baster trick several times over a couple of weeks. Tis would be the same thing as a beading type flush. Thinking about this, I can see the pros and cons to both sides (big con is contaminating new fluid with old (which may have water in it). So thoughts and opinions? nipper

Remeber that the cold can do weird thigs to cars. Things that happen in biiter cold need to be montiored, but arent necassarily a problem. The clutch test is to try to start off frem a dead stop in 4th or 5th gear. if the car stalls the clutch is fine. If you can do it, its time to start budgeting for a clutch. The test doesnt mean the clutch is going to go out tomorrow, or even next week, just something to plan for. If it only does it when its bitter cold, I wouldnt worry. I had a civic that would do the opposit, in heavy traffic the clutch would slip in 3rd geag (stop and go). There was nothing wrong with the clutch, it was just getting hot. I would just blame this on the cold, be aware of it, give the clutch time to warm up, and see what happens when the weather warms up. nipper

I'm bored. If someone wants to send me one brand new OX axle and an aftermarket i'll take them apart (like thats going to happen) nipper

Electrical socket and grounds i would check. nipper

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/ you can ask there. They arent the most social people, but they are up on SVX tech. nipper

Did you hit anything? Backfires are kind of rare these days, but can kill a catalytic converter. When was the last time you had a tuneup? nipper

HAHAHAHA It gets so excited it has to pee !!!

I was thinking that, easyiest way to tell, put the FWD fuse in the holder and see if it goes away. Are all your tires matching and properly inflated? nipper

Thats always the smartest way to do it. nipper

Not necassarily. When i hit the deer, the adjuster quoted the price of used parts. The shop went ahead and ordered all new parts for the quoted used parts. I am very happy, and all the parts have a lifetime warrenty. It just depends upon the body shop and the insurance company. nipper

I think it has more to do with tolerances and the after market axles being too tight. I would love to disect a good OE axle and an aftermarket axle and blueprint them. nipper
