If you have a manual transmission, the no option for a fuse for FWD only. You should be able to find a good used wheel close by, the tires should also match. http://www.car-part.com should find a wheel for you. 5 x 100 is the spacing and that's standard 90-2001 and may be more except for SVX and STI Subaru's

I'd recommend the Kits from theimportexperts . I've never had a problem with them, good belts, marked for alignment and quality bearings. I tried Domestic Gaskets and they sent the kits in a box that was so small it put a kink in the belts, making them junk. The bearings look the same, with the toothed gear being the red seal, instead of green. Lot's of the OEM seals are red, so I though they may be a higher quality kit. I'm going back to the theimportexperts. Larry

95 2.2 is all I swap in. I've seen many 2.5 with the HG done, only a year later a rod lets loose because the bottom end was damaged by overheating. Hey, if you are doing all the work yourself and you know the engine was not overheated do the 2.5 HG. Forget is posted, good 2.2 are getting hard to fine. You should go for the 2.5

Well it would help to know what year model and engine you have. But given what you said, I'd say you are: - Low on Coolant (leak bad Head Gaskets...) - Check the coolant when the engine is cold, is the over flow bottle up to the required level? Pull the cap, is the Radiator Full? - Check the overflow bottle for black oily stuff, a sure sign of a HG leak. - Get you coolant system pressurized - Get you coolant system checked for signs of Exhaust gases, NAPA sells the kit for $70 or so. - If all that checks, it could be the thermostat, water pump or plugged radiator. Has the coolant system been maintained?

If the hose you are talking about is on the back side of the intake down off the fuel lines, its the fuel pressure regulator. You should have a vaccum line diagram on the hood. Check it out. Yes, the codes are necessary, any good auto parts store will read them for free. Plugs, Plug Wires, Subaru or NGK only! Check the coolant overflow tank for signs of oil = Head Gasket leak. Remember the search feature of the USMB, you will find lots of good info.

Pretty straight forward. Jack the car and place jackstands under Crawl under and unplug the 2 fans Disconnect the lower hose, with a bucket under to catch the fluid. You can do this at the thermostat housing or even remove the 2 bolts that hold the theromstat. Remove the generator and AC belt covers for clearance While it's draining, Go back to the top and remove the bolts holding the overflow tank Remove the bolts holding the fans Remove the top radiator hose Remove the Transmission hoses Remove the top radiator support and pull it straight up. Reinstall in the reverse order. Search for Burpping the coolant system on the USMB, you want to make sure you get all of the air out when you put the new radiator in. PS, this is a great time to change all the coolant hoses and flush the system.

Just those two screws. Hold the door handle out when you try to move the panel away. I go around the outter lip with a paint roller cleaning tool, its flat and sturdy and will pop all of the plastic clips out. Then you can remove it. It's easier with the window down. The keyless would be tucked up under the dash on the drivers side. I usually held in with a couple of zip strips. It's about 4" x 5" x 1" black box. Mine are GOH units. I think I have a used one with the wiring. Colorado Springs, CO USA
