  1. That's good to know Dfoyl. Thank you. I'm hoping to check out a parts car this weekend and see if it will work.
  2. Thanks Matt. I'm interested in the later model hood because it looks sporty, with its scoop.
  3. Will the engine hoods from a Forester 2003-2004 fit a 1998 Forester?
  4. I own both of the Milwaukee 3/8" impact and the 1/2" impact. Thus far, they have completed every job I needed. I like the mobility with them; not having to walk back around a vehicle halfway and pull an air hose free from the tire to gain some slack is nice. Plus, I own 3 big rigs (18 wheelers) and any work I choose to apply these tools to has been dependable. When it comes to removing head bolts and other sensitive bolts deep inside of engines I always start first by hand with a breaker bar to find out if any bolts had loosened during operation before removing things. Once I discover the bolt is German torque tight like it should be, I then remove it the rest of the way with my cordless power tools.
  5. I'm from Atlanta and I just bought a used 1998 Forester, S edition. It was an inexpensive purchase by the roadside. I'm impressed with all the options this little wagon is loaded with. I did not buy it for the fancy options it's loaded with. I simply bought it because it's very durable, it's AWD and it's a Subaru. Thus far, I'm happy with it. So far I've completed some small maintenance tasks. I finished the oil service and filters. Replace a leaking radiator hose. Next, I want to replace the timing belt, the belt tensioner and idler pulleys. I guess since there has been HG problems for many people, maybe I should go ahead and replace mine now. To prevent a catastrophic engine failure. I just want this Forester in great mechanical condition, I'm not interested in turning it into a show car. It has 252,000 miles on the odometer. I suspect the engine has been pulled and replaced in the past. The engine is very strong and does not smoke or burn oil or leak oil anywhere. The car passed the EPA emissions testing when I registered the vehicle for a license plate. Regardless, if the engine is original, or rebuilt or swapped for a used engine from another Subaru, I would like to complete a couple things on the engine and keep it running perfect. This web site is very nice. We'll done by management. Thanks
