  1. will be interested what subaru will be like 10 years from now Will be interesting what our already 10+ year old vehicles look like another 10 years from now
  2. Put it away Doesn't look bad from the front, but the side and rear should be R rated
  3. lol. No I mean the control box. i thought I used it once to see a flashing light to determine a abs code.
  4. yes i know. piece of junk. No subaru's will be purchased in the near future. old gen leg for me
  5. Id look at ceramics. Check out tirerack.com I run the ATE ceramics they are very good from my short experience with them. Brake pedal feels real nice and MUCH better then the metallic pads. Also be sure to grease up your sliders and make sure they are not sticking. (when i did my brakes a few were rusted solid, might need a torch. and you could see the uneven pad wear)
  6. Maybe. The two front are non-oem and are over 100,000KM old. In the rear I have one original and one reman(recently replaced). The play is at the differential side.
  7. Well, while doing my brakes. I tried to shake the CV on the left and right side. Seems like the right CV has more up and down play then the left side AND the rears are solid. Something there a issue? Which might explain rough acceleration still? Thanks.(also my brakes feel much better Rears were glazed and rear rotors had chip marks and alot of sliders were rusted one was rusted solid in the front, torch took care of that one and I could see the uneven wear on the pads, just cleaned up the rust and greased....)
  8. Go through a car wash and see if it goes away. When you push down on the front of the car can you hear it?
  9. Ya ok ill just do it the old fansion way. Unless I find a haynes manual.
  10. Oh ya forgot going to try my V-power plugs I bought and see if it makes the car run any better. Mainly get better fuel economy. I torque the spark plugs to 15ft-lbs. What do you think is a good torque range for the caliper to bracket? I was thinking 35ft-lb's.
  11. Only reason why I started using a torque wrench on the lug nuts is because I noticed my wheels no longer get stuck to rotor also insures the wheel is seated good (still i do torque in a X).
  12. Hello I love using my torque wrench and tomorrow im going to jump into the brake job (doing 4 rotors and front pads) so I thought id ask. I torque my wheels to 70ft-lb's by the way and I for the brakes I bought brake grease for the slider pins and anti-squeak. I think thats all I need right(and yes I have 1000's of tools )? Thanks guys!
  13. Would probably help the tranny and diff if you change the oils to synthetic and got a cooler for the transmission.
  14. Front doors 89-91 are the same wagon to sedan. 92-94 are the same wagon to sedan.
  15. Was looking at EMPI. Are all the boots usually good?? Looking at them here: http://www.autopartsway.ca/autoparts/quote.cfm?ID=1993~K6010-181548~000578373~SU~LEG-4WD-001~CV+Boot+Kit http://www.autopartsway.ca/autoparts/quote.cfm?ID=1993~K6010-182652~000578374~SU~LEG-4WD-001~CV+Boot+Kit These boot kits ok??
