I see nothing wrong with this car aside from low mileage 1-replace the seals with the timing belt (and waterpump) when you do this is up to you. The interval is 105,000 miles. Whnever you do it it will be good for another 100,000 miles 2-This can happen to any car at any time. 3-I think the wheels can be fixed, but usually a can of stop leak will correct this situation. 4-Depends upon the how the car is driven. It can be 60,000 miles it can be in excess of 140,000 miles. 5-Have an autzone pull the code for free before any more movement on this issue. why replace a HG on a car that doesnt need one, thats foolish. Valve cover gskets are probably just lose bolts. Dont rebuild the caliper replace it, its easier. Low mileage cars will ned work, sometimes more wirk then high mileage cars since they arent driven as much. Fix the car and keep it. Intrest rates are going up, and then there is that new car insurance thing. nipper

heheheh like i said, unless a subaru is a wrx , says turbo, or is the only car parked on the block, your fairly safe. And think about this, if they have master keys, what makes you think they dont have a code scanner. Japanese cars are pretty good about key combinations. Now if it was a american mfg then i would worry. My freinds and i had chrysler products, out of 7 mopars in a 8 year spread, four keys would start each others cars, two keys would open the doors. nipper

Ok the a/c system, unless your using the compressor leave it alone, Just swing the compressor out of the way. SInce i have an Federal AC license i cannot tell you anything else (doesnt mean no one else can't). WHat ever you do choose to do wear work gloves and goggles, do it someplace with ventilation, as accidents do happen while handling AC systems. Fuel system, ive never really had a problem with pressure in the system when its on a non running car. You have the bigest threat a non issue, a hot exhaust system and engine. You dissconnect it at the fuel filter and you should de pressurize it, as there are no check valves in the system Your going to get a minimal amount of fule out that is pressurized. What prep work are you going to do to the engine before installing it. nipper

the only FTW i know is F*** the world. A come-along is a ratcheting winch that is rated for a few 1000 lbs or more. Its a wonderful thing YOu need the air bag and the sensors. the sensors are made for a single use only. They destruct upon impact, so the ABS light will always be on even if you just change the bag. nipper

I think in every state you can get a ticket for driving with a broken spedometer. There are these bizzare things called speed limits. They are there for a reason so im told. Something called saftey. Without a spedo you cant safely tell your speed, especially when the usuall limit has been reduced. Then there is the other side, you cant tell when the car is maxed nipper
