  1. I can contact oddcomp if you wish, he might make a appearance here if you have some questions
  2. I once used a XT seat as a gaming chair
  3. 2013 Crosstreks have oil consumptions issues. With that low a mileage I would assume thats the case with this one. Make sure its been addressed before buying
  4. Ah, Rockauto also has the seal! https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,1981,brat,1.8l+h4,1267657,transmission-manual,shift+shaft+seal,8808
  5. Sounds like someone installed Monroe or Gabriel air shocks. You can replace them with like or the correct shocks, Rockauto has the stock ones - https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,1981,brat,1.8l+h4,1267657,suspension,shock+absorber,7556 As for the shaft seal, you may need to remove it to get the numbers from it so it can be matched
  6. This Hatch appears abandoned or stolen, does anyone recognize it?
  7. How wore out is the key? See if you can get a new one cut from the dealer, as getting one cut on a machine will just copy the wore out key. Theres a bar on top of the tumbler that locks the steering wheel. The key is what makes this bar drop into the tumbler so you can turn the wheel, but if the key is worn it doesnt drop down far enough.
  8. Jack the front end so the tires are off the ground, then try and unlock it. Had this issue with my wifes 05 OB. When you park, make sure the wheels are straight with no tension on the rack
  9. I installed LED's in my wifes 05 OB, it solved the burnout issue. But because of the heat sink/fan/etc, you cant put the back cover on
  10. Eyesight shuts off when it cant see the road, it will tell you its off up on the display. The issue is with the lane assist control, so its turned off for now. I think the best time to use all of this is when your in heavy traffic and going at slower speeds. Just turn the CC on and let the car basically drive itself On a side note - Just installed front and rear dash cams, that was fun. Had it on the 05 OB and running the cable from front to rear wasnt too bad, no sunroof or airbags to deal with. Quite the hassle on this one, getting past the airbags and sunroof. Had to make sure it didnt interfere with the airbags or the Eyesight cams
  11. My wife just got a 2020 Impreza Sport and came home tonight complaining about it being unstable on wet roads. She said it was all over the lane and the Eyesight function was going on and off. So we went into town, took the freeway and I drove. I turned off the lane assist (keeps you in your lane) and didnt have any issues. I had a few instances with hydroplaning, but it wasnt bad. She commented that there was more water on the road than where we were at the time of our test drive I told her to turn off the lane assist the next time the roads got bad and see if it still does it. Anyone else have Eyesight/Lane assist ever encounter this?
  12. You need a funnel fill kit. You might be able to find one at a auto parts store, I got mine on Amazon. It lets you burp the system and is pretty fool proof
  13. Thanks, I need to spend some time organizing And prob a few dump runs lol
  14. Ohhh, did someone mention lights? The ones high on the back wall are still florescent, the rest are LED Cant have enough light when your eyes are getting old

    LED light bars

    Wow, why so much hate for LED's? Using them reduces the load on your electrical system and if done correctly they are not a road hazard. I have a LED light bar on my Brat and it only gets turned when needed and with no traffic coming. If it does happen, it gets turned off just like your high beams. So far the light bar has worked with no issues, going on 3yrs now. I also converted both my wifes 05 Outback and my 03 Foz to LED. The wifes car has projectors so it was a done deal. Mine I had to retrofit a set of projectors into the housings. Btw, the headlights are HID, which might also get converted to LED soon
  16. JesZek is alive and well, I just received a message from him last night. As you can see, this thread has been merged with the one asking about him. He said he plans on posting more in the future, but I have no idea what he has been up to.
  17. A well known person (Jamie Cavett) here in the Pacific NW recently purchased a turbo model Pretty awesome little car
  18. Take it to a different mechanic. Fuel willer never leak out the headgaskets but antifreeze can. It could be a clamp loose as stated or a rubber fuel line.
  19. May have to open up either end of the turbo to see if theres too much shaft play
