help adjust exhaust installation - 97 OBW
n16ht5 replied to JohnVT's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXdidnt you have to weld to put the new exhast on??? i had to weld mine on.. i got a ricer exhast muffler on the back but it was too loud so i put a 3' long glasspack underneath on top of it and the stcok resonator deal. it is quiet now.. but looks cool now it hangs opposite of yours.. too low. i would just heat the metal up with a oxy torch and rebend it. thats what i will do. cheers

New Subaru driver with couple questions on driving style and car life.
n16ht5 replied to JaySmurff's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi have a 98 obs 2.2 5spd. i love it, but my car doesnt even want to do over 80 :-///... whats wrong with it?? it doesnt want to pull at all after 80. even the 03 civic EX i drive goes right up to the governer at 120 and would still go if it wernet there.. my 98 2.2 obs 5spd barely pushes 110 or so.... :-\ hmm.. it has a lot more engine than the civic.. what gives? all that I have done to it is put a new muffler on. and its a way less restrictive muffler.

RPM and MPG
n16ht5 replied to JT95's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXmy car doesnt even want to do over 80 :-///... whats wrong with it?? it doesnt want to pull at all after 80. even the 03 civic EX i drive goes right up to the governer at 120 and would still go if it wernet there.. my 98 2.2 obs 5spd barely pushes 110.... :-\ and i think throttle has a ton to do with mpg. when i go super light and cruise like my grandpa on the roads, i get about 27mpg. when i drive with my foot in the floor, i get about 23. my bronco2 on 32 inch tires gets about 20mpg. why in the world did i buy a subaru.

Alarm hookup - uh... ..... im stuck!
okay. so. I got an alarm, straight from china. i hooked up the horn, the parking lghts and the sensor to it. however, I cant figure out how to hook up the lock switches and the E brake to it! I had a stock remote entry, with a diagram on it, but the languages between systems dont agree, or something. anyone have a diagram of subaru wiring?? I searched the net and cant find anything with color codes my alarm from china talks about COM and nodes for the lock switches, and i get lost. common node, off node, normal node (or something?) if anyone knows what im talking about please chime in! thanks guys. i will post a picture of the directions tomorrow. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7994208469&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT

Hello, new to Subaru with Questions
n16ht5 replied to bunionboy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXseek and you will find about 80k on the t belts. i have never heard of AC problems. if you need more clearance for offroading, i would get a forester. otherwise a wagon does just about everything else

Looking at new cars, Outback or Impala...
n16ht5 replied to mtmra70's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXget the subaru!!! i have a 98 and I love it. I had a chevy with the 3800, and yeah they do go for a long time, but EVERYTHING else breaks . even if you have to buy used, just the AWD is worth it. try outcornering me in the impala . and besides, if you want to sell the chevy once you buy it.. youre hosed on the retail. if you want gas mileage or FWD, get a civic. probably about as fast as that heavy impala, but with better gas mileage.

best/biggest tires for my 98 obs daily?
yeah siping is about all you can do for ice,. but i dont like siping beacuse the tires get chopped up (depending on the tread pattern and if you drive like i do..) and yeah MTs and swampers are the best in the snow. well these actually: (since we can fit them hehe.. )

big tires and 17"s stock!
17x7" wheels 225/50 r17 khumo tires. they rubbed at first, on the inside of the fender lips, so I took off the rubber lip protectors to fix that, and on the struts, so i dented them in with a hammer (on the coil bucket.) they dont rub now except at full turn, but it is barely noticeable. and yes this means im not lifting it. well... not yet in inches, the tires work out to be 25.9"x8.9" stock 205/60 r15 is 24.7"x8.1" DOH! after getting home from putting them on. they didnt appear to rub untill i was already driving. luckily the tires werent rubbed down too much by the time i was home...
