ok so this morning my car wouldnt shift gears, so i was thinking damn the tranny went, nahhh it was both VSS's gone, went ot the JY and got some sensors... VSS1 had a broken wire and VSS2 i believe was disconnected by vibration i think, so i changed the VSS1 and reconnected VSS2 i think and the car is all good again no codes at all. isnt it weird how 2 sensors can destroy a car? :confused: next step is the lift cheers Neo

Yeah i finally got a way to lift my impreza, not the best way for paying for it (credit card) but i am.. 1. i got forester struts, would i need longer brake lines? 2. will the rear forester strut top fit the impreza wagon? 3. again brake lines all round are they long enough? thanks in advance Neo :-p

if you have verizon you can text message it to your email address cool , i got my forester struts and i am installing them tomorrow if i can i'll post pics when i'm done

cool well who knows you may get an impreza by then :-p

i just got to this thread and i've had many 2.2 from 90 to 95 and up and almost all of them had that noise specially with extreme weather, too cold or too hot.... never had any problems with those cars and they are all on the road as of today all i can say its a piston slap, i always wanted to know what it was weird aint it?

see.... i told u so... its higher than a regular outback when u put the 15's on :lol: so are u coming down to jersey on the 24th? with that lifted one?

we'll be hitting the PineBarrens also known as Wharton State Forest we are thinking about march 24th? is that cool with everyone? Sand Trails, Mud, bumps, nothing too crazy, it's light duty. with ocassional stuck in the mud :lol: :lol: Bring a tow strap, small shovel and something to get traction on, just in case. Meet at the Red Lion Diner, Intersection of Rt. 206 and rt.70, at 9am wait there for about 30mnts and then go to Wharton State Forest-Atsion ranger's station Rt. 206. we'll wait there till about 10:15 untill everybody shows up PM for cell phone exchange if you need directions from Turnpike and also just in case you get lost From turnpike its exit 7 rt 206, take rt 206 south to the circle of rt 70 and thats where red lion diner is... Paul, Bucky, all the group from CT? PA guys and girls? north Jersey? NY? Lets make this one a nice one, its going to be warmer out

:lol: :lol:

:horse:

nah nah i dont want one, :lol: was it available in the US? ever?

ok i guess we do learn something new everyday i was just browsing the subaruforester.org and i came across that the forester has a self leveling rear suspension!! wow thats cool well in some models, S and LLbean i 'm keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a forester,

holy crap that is some serious mud! :lol:

HEy mike that tire should fit fine with no problems look at our pine barrens thread http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=71176&page=3 pics of my impreza is in there and also videos also here are some other pics http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=9830

check these out its my previous car

you wont have any problems, thats what i had on my leggo with outback struts now once you are all done with this, why dont you come out to jersey and join us in march at the pine barrens meet? remember if i am running that size on my impreza nonlifted you should be fine

wow i'm amazed that no one answered to this post well a 2002 5spd for 9900! thats a good price you can negotiate for a lower price, but keep in mind that that subaru comes with more standard equipemnt than other cars, ABS, AWD, Its A Subaru, is more comfy than a Beetle, away more reliable, so take those things in consideration, and yes you could retrofit the bun warmers on a 2002, also i'm not sure about HG leaks on 2002s i think they fixed that by then, but search the forum you'll get some info on it. Good luck and post pictures when u get it Neo

you should definetely upgrade to 15's i was running 205 75 15's on my legacy right now i am running 205 70 15 on my impreza!!!! thats pretty fat for and unlifted impreza take pick take pics plllleeeeeeeaaassseee

its indeed a LADA! i've been to russia and seen those cars many many many times, its a LADA! also known as POS :lol: :lol:

oh boy that wasnt good well the outback struts are definetely longer, if you line up the top end the bootms will be differnt, i'm glad you caught it before you stared installing it cheers Neo

yeah paul lots of sand pits, really cool, so that was the last run for the touring wagon? well we have to start thinking about a date in march, hows saturday the 24th sound to you?

cool i have to see whn in march we are gonna go, but we can work something around your time too.. and you can bring your ride down and ride with one of us. its always good to have a co pilot for picture snapping :lol: we'll post something up soon, let us know when and which weekend you can go... cheers Neo

No other symptoms, no torque bind or anything the only thing i've noticed since its that the first gear takes a little long to shift into second, but that may be the cold weather. I've noticed that when the front wheels start to spining the rear wheels kick in right away, so there is a 1 or 2 seconds delay there but definetely not stuck in AWD, i tried in the snow and at the pine barrens last saturday. the power light blinks whenever i start the car, and when i pull the code its code 32 ... VSS1, how long do I have to fix that till it causes any major problems? and does anybody know the part number for that sensor? just in case... but tomorrow i'm gonna get under the car remove the sensor and see if all the wires and connectors are in ok condition... i'm just afraid that i'm gonna cause any more damage driving like that

subeman90 you should come out in march, its alot of fun

i did that, it comes right back after driving for 10 mnts

ok that sounds it could be it where is the ground thought, ground to the tranny?
