Yeah, there's something to be said about the older Subaru's. They were just more raw and connected than the newer ones. I've noticed that as well. Even between my 97 Impreza and the 06 Legacy I had....I like feeling connected to the car, the road, etc......and I feel a lot of new cars today are mis...

Well that's sad to hear the Legacy is going away, but it's probably for the better. I think you made the right call on the 06 Legacy. The new foresters are nice and hopefully this one will last you a good while as well. Yes i think I did the right thing as much as I like the look of the 06 Legacy I...

WE went tot the shop and the red wagon is dead it's misfiring bad and the pump and Rack are just dumping too mach to fix.. and know for sure it won't cost me a grand more .. so we sat down and did some dealing with the lot and got an 09 Forester with 106 k Limited.. drives nice .. miss my legacy but...

I bought an 06 late last year, and being that it was from the North East had a bit more stuff to clean up, which I did, and wasn't a big deal. However, for me, when it came down to it, I just didn't care to drive it. There was quite a bit of lag with the e-throttle, which made driving it (it was a ...

found this one to maybe replace my aging red wagon http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ctd/3223479433.html drover it feels nice the wanted $12K told them I need Less out the door and the knocked 2K off before taxes.. The engine sounds great the shifting is clean very good feel to it.. the are some thin...

Oh ok that makes sense. When the leak gets back enough it will push exhaust into the coolant on power stroke and suck water into the cylinder on intake stroke. Why not try to do it yourself? The only outside cost besides parts would be the machine shop work. I'd personally have the bock and the hea...

What do you mean they showed you the leak? The headgasket leak I referred to is not visible externally. If the headgasket is the problem and the engine is rebuilt properly with the new multi layer steel gasket (block and heads shaved) it should be just fine. The guy at the shop ran the car with the...

This wagon has all the clues that it was some two car for their RV . its an AT but drive fast an zippy then started have some drag down then the the it didn't over hear just died but it re-started right away and drove.. It was just few blocks from the house so we drove back and shut down.. it seem o...

The wagon started out with lot zip to it and was and is hard to keep at the speed limit it just loves to creep up to .. . I have noted in her it just started get less zippy and the gas millage is bad.. I can get 120 mile quarter tank she can barely get 50 to 60 and I done mostly city right now with ...

It would be better to replace it with an EJ22. No head gasket issues and they're cheap. Cheaper than rebuilding heads and replacing gaskets and labor costs. So should I check around in some of the Engine (the EJ22) whats the over all cost ? We did price on engine but I'm not one who would be instal...

It sounds like there is a draw somewhere in the wiring or possibly some bad wiring or a short. Do you have a multi meter to test voltage and check resistances of the wiring? That's really what I would suggest doing if you continue to have problems. installed another light it works fine tested all n...

+1 with ciper - beware of headgaskets on 2.5 DOHC's. 100% of the people I know with 2.5l Outbacks (just 2 people - 1x1997 & 1x1998) have had multiple headgasket problems. Well i should have listen you you two as this is what has happen the wagon is parked and sitting ow as the heads start to wa...

strut is bent 100% and seeing as the wheel is in the back half of the wheel arch it looks like you bent the lower control arm as well Well just got the the wagon over to the shop to get the alignment and yep you are correct the Right Front lower control arm is bent. the wrecking yard said about $80...

I came home tonight noted the right dead light was dim very dim but high beam works And we Just got the Alternator replace a week ago as my old one was bad and was causing some electrical issue in starting and the car was stalling but all is working now .. I pulled the light and tried spare one i ha...

First Picture is just after getting the wheel off http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/cybercorsair/DSCF0589.jpg here straight on look with the tire off http://i6.photobucket...

Will go into get the alignment ASAP still feels the same before the accident but runs well. did talk p...

BTW how the picture helped on this

strut is bent 100% and seeing as the wheel is in the back half of the wheel arch it looks like you bent the lower control arm as well cost on that you think? it did drive a turn ok o not sure on the control arm as i don't think could one U-turn and did with no issues . did right and left turn well ...

Ok well here is the the new wheels and rims(went with the shop on the 14" one there had s it was no charge on the tires) http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/cybercorsair/DSCF0557.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/cybercorsair/DSCF0556.jpg Road tested and it felt good had to put in the...

Did you end up getting this figured out? Well I figure a patch for now..I put some electrical tapes up in the area where the locking solenoid is on the ignition and it is keeps it from locking up for now. I need to wait for some funds to take it to the shop. Talking to the Shop it ether in the shif...
