  1. Well after going from my 97 Outback into a 98 Jeep Wrangler for about 1.5yrs..It was time to return to my roots..and into a Subaru.Already gave her the name of Silvia (just popped into my head while laying down). She has just over 109k and sport shift auto trans.. Major difference from the Jeep..
  2. For now i just burnt a few CDs but will probably go the FM transmitter route..wanna keep Silvia as stock as possible anyway..Thanks though.
  3. Is it even possible to replace with aftermarket radio ? considering the surrounding panel is also used for HVAC controls..I just wish i could listen to all the music that's on my MP3 in my new Scoob.. If not,guess i'll have to burn a few CDs then..
  4. Ok cool..Thanks everyone for the info and ease of mind that it doesn't need to be something i really need to find out if it was done..it's a one owner so hopefully they had all service done by dealership so i can find out what was/wasn't taken care of..
  5. should be getting a 06 Outback 2.5i and the one thing weighing on my mind is the head gasket issue with 2.5 engines awhile back..would the carfax report mention if it was replaced/fixed (providing the 06 engines had problem)..i haven't looked at it yet but supposedly 1 owner,clean carfax report.. Thanks,Matt
  6. Haven't been around here in a while..like the new site set up so far..not sure if i'm being premature,but depending on what the bank says tomorrow morning..i should be getting this beauty..06 Outback 2.5i with just 109k,auto (seems to have something like a sport shift option)
  7. Finally got a chance to fully try out my snow tires..this is in the small field in my back yard..
  8. (Not to hijack,but didn't wanna start new thread.also tried the search and got this thread) My 97 Outback (2.5,5spd) tripped a code P0400 awhile back (finally had it read due to inspection time) and i was told it had something to do with O2 sensor but also that bank 1 was lean (iirc,or could of been rich..should of written everything down cause now i'm not entirely sure.all i remember now for sure is the code) i haven't noticed any issues driving/idling,etc either..just cruddy gas mileage..
  9. ok so i'll be getting the crank pulley replaced this weekend (fingers crossed that it doesn't separate completely before then)..a buddy of mine is a Subie Mech and has a used one he'll install for me cheap (providing he doesn't have any issues) the weird thing i have noticed..when the Battery/Brake light comes on,the lights get a little brighter and heater fan speed picks up a little..i should probably wait till crank pulley is replaced to see if the slipping is messing with the alt..(might not get correct reading if the separated pulley is effecting alt..am i correct in thinking that ?)
  10. the control cable goes where btw ? i gotta do this too and as much info would help.(i even book marked the above link) is there leds that can be put in there in place of reg bulbs ? Glad this thread got brought back from the dead,saves me the trouble of searching
  11. P/M sent.. is the baffle plate the same thing as separator plate ? which requires engine removal right ? :-\ or am i thinking of the wrong thing..
  12. well it turns out the Crank shaft pulley (aka-harmonic balancer) has separated at the rubber.which could be causing the alt to not spin correctly.. was quoted close to $300-$400 for it from dealer (must be gold) now the odd thing is,advance auto can't get em (apparently a dealer only part) but i found this one on line for a 96 legacy (i think)..would it still work on a 97 ? (well fit note says "Production: -05/1996, Harmonic Balancer for Models w/ Engine made in Japan" ) http://www.carpartswholesale.com/v5/details/Subaru/Legacy/OES_Genuine/Crankshaft_Pulley/1997/Outback_Limited/4_Cyl_2-dot-5L/W0133-1618586.html?sc=Product+Listing+Page:2 Subaru dealer also said they noticed oil in the coolant res(head gasket was down about 100K ago),the oil pan is either leaking or the separator plate is leaking (i knew something at the back of the engine is leaking oil,just hope it's the pan..)
  13. and did you say issues would be there if stock Outback skid plate was used ? my 97 has one (surprised to see it)
  14. I'll have to have it checked out today. **cancel that,have appt 1st thing tomorrow morning at 7:30**
