  1. Both in California. Only problem with tirerack is shipping is expensive and there is duties unless they mark it as a gift.
  2. Little to expensive ATM. http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-tires-rims-Subaru-Impreza-16-W0QQAdIdZ25413773 and I don't want them in gold...........
  3. Looks pretty good in white. Still not crazy about the styling though. Still nice ride
  4. Ya was just thinking about that. Oh well I think ill just bring them to a junkyard or something.
  5. Your probably not bleeding the air out of the system correctly. When you refilled the radiator how did you do it? I usually do it by filling up the rad as much as I can without the motor on. Then After it stops flowing I turn it on and keep adding. Then after it was filled. I filled the resovoir tank and removed the air bleeding cap, then squezzed the tube and at the same time put the air bleeding cap back in. Never ran into a overheating issue.
  6. That's not bad. I have a set off steel rims. Do you want them?? They are rust free. I want like $40 for all 4. They have tires on them though. But they are fine for your car. They are 14". I used them on my Legacy. I spent $600 for all season tires at Active Greenross(I think thats the place?). They were decent wheels though and in the winter seemed to work pretty good compared to my last set of all seasons.
  7. Definitely should not be that easy. Maybe last transmission was not installed correctly. If that shaft does come apart though the fluid would leak out.
  8. Just wondering. When you have a turbo shouldn't the MAF sensor be mounted after the turbo or intercooler if you have one?? I always wanted to ask. Don't understand why its mounted right after the airbox unless its a NA.
  9. Ya, I guess you can clean it with contact cleaner? With mine I just realigned it. If when you are driving you are getting a random power light then must be the TPS as the power light when you are driving should only come on when you floor it. Here is how you setup the TPS according to the manual. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/fsm_scans/tps_testing3.jpg I did it made my car more responsive and shift better.
  10. The door handles are steer or alloy or something?? Definitely not a plastic
  11. Check the connectors on the transmission see if they are loose or maybe the contacts are dirty?? But the connectors are sealed so pretty unlikely. I am guessing its AWD correct?? On the back of the transmission there is a speed sensor. You can remove it and see if its dirty or rusted or something like that. There is another speed sensor behind the guage cluster which uses the speedometer to determine the input a signal as a speed sensor as well.
  12. Thats the good thing about Subaru's there is no door frame. Never experienced a door jamming in -35C with ice all over!! Why do we need to do all this???? Here in Canada I do nothing special and use non-synthetic and the car starts just like a hot day without any knocking, and no I do not have a block heater or w/e. I just do regular maintenance. -22F is only -30C. I have driven and started in colder.........
  13. These cars were tested in freezing temps we would never see in the real world. They would put the car in a freezer and start it and test it to see if it ran. Thats one of the other great things of the early gen Legacy's the fact that they were so reliable in all temperatures and weather conditions you would never find! Coolant is coolant should not freeze(AS LONG as you are not using straight water!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and use spec'd oil for your car. Which I believe is 5w-30 for those temps, preferably synthetic is a good idea as the viscosity of the oil is still very good even at those temperatures. Don't be worried it's a Subaru
  14. I usually just get them from my dealer so I am not to sure.I would think so since the spark plugs are NGK as well.
  15. I love the new Legacy's and Outback's! One day!! Definitely the Legacy spec b in pearl or This
  16. Maybe it was bad fuel or fuel delivery issue or a fluke. Were you low on gas?
  17. I saw one the other day. People were vering from them I guess they are afriad of catching it. It could have caused accidents then how can you tell the police it was the mazda 3/ford focus/camry's(thats what people think it was) fault??
