Replaced cam and crank wiring to solve a cut problem. Car runs better, but problem remains.

Did you install the box in the fender? You can remove this and you'll get a little more intake noise. However, if you are planning to fjord any rivers, I'd probably leave it in.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
I removed the silencer in the fender and used an old 90 hose I had for an old intake to seal the fender hole and connect inside the air box. The box is from a 90s na and doesnt bolt up right so that's the only thing securing it and doing quite well

my 2013 legacy loaner while my 92ss legacy wagon (backround) goes in for a smoke, compression and leak down test.
Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
I learned that I hate hate HATE removing/installing the timing belt. I also learned that PO jacked up the bolt hole for the tensioner pulley, so I just spent 2 hours digging one out of a junk yard.
Maybe I should use glue the belt down so it doesn't jump teeth on install. That sounds like a great idea.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
Thats a pretty common problem. What i usually do in that case is re tap the threads and just put a longer bolt in. Works just fine and saves you from having to run around.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
I both lack a tap and die set, and needed my car running faster than it would take to procure a set worth spending money on.

Re: What did you do to your Subie today?
Changed rear diff fluid and discharged my AC compressor at work. Got home and took the compressor out, so now to fab a bracket for the coolant tank to go in that spot! I also installed a cold air intake today and replaced so janky intercooler hose. Runs smoother. I re-routed my BPV hoses too.
