And I hope I can still remember where it is when it happens to mine! Good job on a ahrd to find piece.

If they are both automatics or standards they will be the same. Otherwise it will look similar and be close by. I like to buy the part so I can match it up.

I just bought a kenwood from Crutchfield and it's hard to beat thier customer service. I was working on it about 6 pm CA time and called customer service and there was a guy there who imeadiately had the answer to my problem. I didn't know Kenwoods cut the power to the antenna wire when you switch to cd, so I had no souund on cd. Hooking my amp to the right wire did wonders.

did you really say an H6 for $150? sound slike a steal. I would not bother with headgaskets on an H6 as nobody has had a problem with them.

I have somewhere around 35,000 miles on the goop with no noticable effects. When I change my coolant soon I will add more goop as adavised.

KYB GR2s and a WRX rear swaybar have made mine pretty decent.

I think Zip ties should be fine. All you are doing is keeping the wire out of the way of rotating components.

The only electrical bits I've replaced on my 130,000 mile Forester are a few light bulbs and the timed out oxegen sensor. By this time on the older cars I would have been through a few alternators or generators and a bunch of points and condensors. I agree with you that the modern stuff is much better.

My guess is pistons. When I used to build Hih Po chevys I would clarance them for the high lift cams, a lot of times with flat tops I did not have to.

A momentary glitch

Our current busses use 12 computers if I recall correctly. I only see the setup when I am a judge at our yearly maintence competition. When I was a mechanic we had no computers and everthing was mechanical relays. It is quite amazing just how complicated these things are getting. We have an ECU, a tranny control unit for automatics, probably a seperate computer for the ABS system, the airbags SRS system I'm sure has a computer, and much is linked by speed signals at the least. Even the bloody speedometer is complicated. Now I know that my dash lights are chip controlled???

the right kick panel is the passenger side. This is a pretty confusing place for it and may be why you have difficulty finding it. Quite an elaborate system for a simple Forester.

wear on tie rod ends often give you too much toe. I'd check for play.

So it sounds to me that you get on the horn to CCR for advice, change the incorrect parts and you are good to go. Nothing should have been hurt and this will be a winner yet. If it's any consolation this not just a Subaru problem. I've had it with Ford trucks, dodge trucks, even common Chevy stuff. With Fords it was paricualrly bad becuse they used many combinations, two types of balance systems as well as two crank snout sizes.

If it were me I'd clear any changes with CCR. They have the engine warranty so it seems they should be responsible.

That cowboy hat adds a lot to a guy from New York. Wasn't Billy the Kid from New Jersey? Onward and upward nip. Especially when you get to the mountains! Watch the temp gauge and let her cool if she needs it.

That's pretty sophisticated 99. On my BMW it is a simple rehostat. So right hand kick panel huh? No wonder it is hard to find.

With a dying filter or pump you often get it at speed all the time. If this car has dual pickups and pumps that is more to go wrong. Pickups sometimes rust off a bit high and don't get the last of the fuel on hills.

A rheostat is a variable resistor that allows you to add more or less power to the dash lights in this case. It is often located right under the little knob you turn.

As a person who has done several swaps I reccomend you buy the entire wrecked car. You can sell the remainder on Ebay to cuty costs. This would ease the job tremendously. I think Josh has a typical tranny swap on his site that will give you an idea of how many times a guy has nto go back to the junkyard for parts. It's amazing how much stuff is just a tiny bit different.

It is true that the 2.5s have had more head gasket failures than the 2.2 and it has taken several years for Subaru to get a pretty good fix. They did sell a heck of a lot of 2.5s though because they were at the peak of thier popularity right then. Great advertising, rally success, and for a while Subaru offered the only car based 4WD sedan and wagon for folks who needed traction. Nobody really knows what percentage of head gaskets failed on 2.5s but if enough had there would have been a forced recall. In parts of the world where conditions are really tough Subaru has offered models that would just meet the standards a lot of us have. My Kiwi relatives have dual range trannys and 2.2s in Legacies. Subaru thinks the North American market wants engine power and few care for the dual range. Unfortunately they are right, If nobody bought the 2.5 with no dual range they would sell us 2.0s and 2.2s with the option.

Nipper is probably fascinated by all the excitment of Murdo. He will be on nthe road again soon I think.

There was one with a fuel pickup problem that did that a while ago.

Possible, or wrong wire in the wrong place. Any chance it could have a different crank gear, or broken triggers?
