Going junkyard shopping for brakes - what should I look for?
I have a 93 Wagon and the brake rotors are shot. I'm going to the junkyard to look for some rotors (and maybe calipers) and I was wondering what I should look for.
Should I only get them off a wagon? If I find a newer model Subaru, what brake rotors and calipers would be considered and upgrade?

Thanks for the advice. I forgot to mention that the door doesn't open because it is smashed in. Any advice on getting it open? I was thinking about undoing the hinge where it attaches to the frame, but I'm not sure if that would do anything or not. I was also thinking about pulling it really, really...

Need advice on replacing a door
A couple weeks ago someone ran into the rear, driver's side door of my wagon. Instead of paying a body shop a ridiculous amount of money to fix it, I'm going to try and do some of it myself. How difficult is it to remove/install a door? Any tricks? I can get a door from the junk yard for $30, wherea...

Need help installing Hella 500 fogs (mostly w/ mounting)
I recently purchased a set of Hella 500 fog lights and I need help installing them. I'm pretty sure I can figure out the wiring, but I need help mounting them. I've searched this, and some other forums, but have not found a solid write up. I'm not too inventive when it comes to drilling, sawing, gri...

Anyone have experience with DIY window tinting?
I'm wanting to get my windows tinted, but can't justify the $179 price tag. I'm not looking for anything perfect, so I was thinking about just doing it myself and saving about $100 or so. Does anyone have any experience with this? I found a write up on the DIY Network's Web site, and it doesn't soun...

How to: Sound deadening mat on a budget.
The previous owner of my car liked to put his two big dogs in the cargo area. After extensive scrubbing, vacuuming, cleaning, etc. of the entire inside of the car, I determined that the rear cargo carpet needed to be pitched. It is stained, stinky and downright dirty. The same can be said for the so...

Carpet replacement options
The carpet in the cargo area of my car is pretty gross (smelly, dirty and stained from two dogs the PO often had in there) and I'm planning on throwing it out. I am wondering what are some options for replacing this. I have thought about calling a carpet place and asking for a couple of leftover squ...

I did this today, and it was relatively simple. On wagons, you can just flip up the rear seat and the fuel pump connector will be under the black plastic protector thing. I relieved the fuel pressure, but I still had a lot of gas pouring/spraying out. I just used an empty water bottle to pour the ga...

They said it leaked in the front, side and rear of the engine. The guy I bought it off of said he had the front seal (along with the timing belt) replaced a month or so ago. I guess they didn't do too swell of a job. Leaking oil isn't a big concern to me. I drove two second gen. Mazda RX-7s for the ...

So I ended up spending $203 for an oil change, front and rear differential fluid change, automatic transmission fluid change, replacement of a missing brake caliper bolt (turns out it wasn't a tie rod making that noise) and inspection of various parts. In the next month, I will also need a coolant f...

n00b differential question
Last week, I purchased an automatic 1993 Legacy L Wagon AWD w/116K. I've owned 2nd gen. Mazda RX-7s (four to be exact) for the past four years, so these cars are completely new to me (I'm used to rotary engines). Anyway, I'm taking my car in to the shop this week to have the differential fluid chang...
