Safe Rev Range

if you have a 2.5l not a good idea to love redline 2.2l can handle the abuse, and its non interference, and i can find a replacement engine fairly easy. 2.5l engine runs over $1000! -

I love redline, and have to do it quiete often to get it going past the ferrari beside me -
Maybe you would prefer like 02 impreza seats they offer better leg support, from what i felt and saw, i was going to get a set myself. The baja seats weren't bad when i saw then im sure they were different, surprised you don't like the Legacy leather seats, i hear they offer MUCH more support, and are alot more comfortable!

stupid throttle body cleaner :-p There now the car runs that way i like it. Its nice and quiet, and smooth, and no hesitation. Awsome! I used some electronic cleaner. Worked wonders, before i could feel a slight vibration from the engine at idle which was 500rpm and now i don't feel anything when i put my hand on the engine. I wonder if changing the plugs would make it a little better. If i find a deal on the v-power plugs i will go for them.

I went to my dealer and asked about the crappy fuel economy, and was told that the NGK platinum plugs could be a problem something about the resistance. I was talkign to a guy at from desk not a mechanic. I also found out that the throttle body cleaner leaves residue on the MAF sensor, and i sprayed my MAF very well with throttle body cleaner, so ill get some brake cleaner to clean it off now see if that brings it up again. Because i was getting 400+km a tank now im getting 300-350 then get the yellow light.

Today went for transmission,differentials,and engine oil change. Spent $200 at the dealer. Car seems smoother the vibration is not as bad,but alot smoother, still pulls a tiny bit to the left. Still haven't found a used axle. Shifts well now, and AWD works properly from WOT runs on dirt. But i get a crack, when it shifts, like if im driving, then get off the gas, i guess before it was just about to shift, i get a flex somewhere in my interior and get a crack, still guessing the dashboard. Now im looking for these tranny mount bolts, still haven't found anything, anyone know where to get them? thanks guys.

Ok thanks. i read some other posts. and i thought it might be the center driveshaft bearing. But there is no play. Just play when i rotate it, i guess thats normal? This weekend ill go to subaru, for oil change, on the front and rear differential and my engine oil i overfilled about 2x lol, and its black now......... Now for those bolts, probably weakens the tranny mount quiete a bit. I do get some vibration from the engine as well, so maybe i should replace it now, not a shiver, just a solid vibration. Anyone know where i can find the bolt size? @Legacy777 its a AT.

i wonder what he hit Thats pretty crazy, but i don't think that damage was done at the scene, it was probably after htey cut it appart to get the driver out, UNLESS he hit a tree very good -
hi, i now have a stupid vibration on take off. Now i have one cv with a broken boot, and when i drive around for about 10 mins, i get about a 80F hotter temperature at that one CV with a broken boot when compared to the other CV. And the brakes were like 200 on the wheel, and 110 on the side with a good CV. I also noticed 2 screw are missing in the transmission mount looks like one has a broken bolt, i see the thread in it. the other one has no bolt in it. Any ideas? and if i make a u turn i get binding, like the center consle vibrates tremendosly.
