I have six ~MY05 Forester 16x6.5 steelies. Four have no tires, one has a new tire and one had a bent lip that I hammered out (useful for a spare). They are in decent shape. A few blemishes but a wire wheel and silver spray paint could make them perfect. Looks like these http://upload.wikimedia.org/w...

I dont think reducing the size after the downpipe is as much of a restriction as you'd think. By then the exhaust gasses have lost a significant amount of heat so the velocity is much lower.

As the title says I'm looking for flocked interior parts. I need the rears from a wagon but the fronts can obviously be from either model

I don't think that is rod knock. Its either man bearings (unlikely) or a collapsed hydraulic lifter.

The axles pull right out of all 4EAT and 6 speed transmissions. Only the five speed has stubs that are "permanently" held in place.

Seemed related - The lock cylinder in the drivers door often shears off its pivot arm causing the key to spin freely. If this happens get a donor cylinder and rekey it. It's much easier than it sounds. Just swap the little metal spring loaded "doors" that come into contact with the key edg...

Are you sure the 91 5MT has a final drive of 4.11?

I have a few of Subaru OEM AWIC. What are you offering?

If you have a choice between the two new styles try not to get the one with the small pulley. They constantly fail because they are spinning twice as fast and the bearings are also much smaller (think skateboard bearings) If you don't have a vice and need to compress the tensioner you can use a pair...

Easier for who?

I had fun the last few days trying to get the correct water pump ordered. Listed are part numbers for new pumps in both styles. Remanufactured and hard to order parts are not included.

You're sure the arms are the same length?

So why does the light blink on other Subarus when an issue is taking place? I've noticed my car running with 5psi boost about 5% of the time since "fixing" it. I'd like that to be 0% of the time but its sure hard to troubleshoot when there is no indication of what causes it. I am going to ...

Nice. 120.47013 seems to be the best priced turbo rotor.

I was wrong about the rotors. They are not the same and I was caught by the typo which is listed on many application guides.

The earlier cars have headlights with an angled top, so the lower edge of the hood is not straight. http://www.aia.tartu.ee/~indrek/ralli/subaru/legacy/legacy_4wd_turbo_jyv1990_alen.jpg The later sedans have a goofy edge on the bumper in the attempt to change the look of the tail lights. Whenever I ...

Also, when the fitting for the blowoff valve tore, I just put a piece of 1" heater hose over the outside of it. It worked well enough that I called it a permanent fix. My turbo to throttle body pipe cracked on the turbo side. I cut 2/3 inch off the end to stop the crack. I then cut 2 inches of...

SWRT why are all of your posts written with weird line breaks?

So they are just big fat liars!

In case anyone cares you can use OE 98-02 forester bushings for an OE looking ALK.

Someone found an inexpensive round bushing that could be used to fix up the rear links. If I remember correctly you need eight of them and 4 had to be shortened by 3mm. They were yellow polyurethane

Look at the "Cherry bomb" glass packs. They are an inexpensive straight tube that could easily be welded into the midpipe section. They take up much less space than a resonator. http://www.cherrybomb.com/Catalog/Categories/glasspack_4_body_straight_tubes.aspx I know someone who used part n...

My favorite body style in my second favorite color. How much are you willing to spend on the 2.2 block? I know of one that would be sold for the right price (bare block halves).

Would you like to do me a favor? I'd like a set of EU headlights if you see any for a decent price.

Good question about the parking brake

Check it out yourself at the bottom of this list http://www.mrtperformance.com.au/product-detail?part_number=DBA649&clear_mm=yes Edit: So the rear rotor for the NA legacy seems to be DBA644.

Maybe we should ask the robtune guy. I know he never finished working on it but he did get the US Legacy Turbo rom partially reverse engineered. This safety issue is not designed properly in my mind. I bet there are LOTS of Legacy turbos running around with no check engine light and only running 5ps...
