Just picked up a 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport 5spd with 36,000 miles this morning. Car is in great mechanical shape and will be awesome to drive in the snow. I don't plan on ricing it out like a lot guys seem to do with their Imprezas these days (check NASIOC.com), but I do plan on super...

I test drove a 2005 Outback Sport on Saturday and loved it. It's based on the Impreza line so it's small and nimble (the big Outback is based on the Legacy line). I know it's not a WRX, but the 165hp flat four has some GO! The dealership only had one and it was an auto, but the salesman said...

Don't get me wrong, I love my Explorer. But, I am moving to Northern Virginia next year to start a job after I graduate college this spring. For those of you not familiar with NOVA, the gas is steep and the traffic is horrendous (#1 worst place in US as rated by Men's Health). So, I figured...

How do you know when you've got a bad alternator? I'm not sure if mine is bad or is going bad, but my electrical system has been acting up. I've been through two batteries in 4 months and my battery gauge jumps around right after a cold start.

I turn the key and i get one crank and then the clicking sound from the solenoid. This happened last year (14 months ago) and it was a bad starter. My battery and solenoid are both very new, 2 months old, and have full volts (+12.5). Should i get a new starter or ***** the place out that...

My headlights stopped working last night. I pulled the headlight switch and the parking lights came on, but no driving lights. Just by chance, I smacked my driver's side light and it came on but the passenger's side didn't when I hit it. The brights work fine on both sides, along with the...

Battery was dieing, so I replaced it yesterday. New battery won't even start the Ex, so I bought new cables today and just finished installing those with the new battery, now I don't get any lights, not even the one under the hood! What is wrong with my Ex?!?!

Ex has had serious trouble starting for the past week (8-10 turns before finally kickin it), so I bought a new battery thinking that might be the culprit. Put the new battery in and tried to start the Ex, got nothing. Dome light was on, but it was very dull. I checked the leads and they are...

I think my dad and I are going to attempt this pretty soon, actually need to since I am goin to OBX in a week. I have read up about the cheap fix many times and really need to crack open the motor to see what I need to do. I printed out the instructions as a reference as well. But...

I just did my AAL last week and I can already see a sag on the driver's side. Now, I have always had sag on that side from the weight of myself plus the idiotic design of putting the gas tank on the driver's side as well. But, I think the AAL only compounded this sag. I took a few...

Well my dad's Windstar bit the bullet today. No warning signs - no blue smoke, no white smoke, no clunking or knocking, just full blown 50/50 anitfreeze leaking through the cat converter. Yup, you hear me right, through the cat converter. Here is the story: Doin 70 mph on I-64 in Norfolk...

Got the Pro Comp AAL from SummitRacing and put it on over the weekend. My 10 year old Ex had developed a nice little butt sag and needed to be lifted up a little bit to level her out. Took me about 3.5 total hours I think mainly working by myself and I am happy with the results. The back end...

Is 13120 the right part number for Pro Comp add a leaf kits? Found it on Summit Racing for $27 and it says it fits a whole multitude of vehicles...

Thanks for the tires man! Great service and a great price!

My balljoints are beyond being shot, so I called a few places this morning to get some estimates on the repairs. The prices ranged from $560 at Pepboys to $1000 at Midas. Anybody else see prices in this range? The one light at the end of the tunnel is there is a local place that we have...

Metric Sizes and Speedo Calculator A Metric to Standard Tire Equation, not the one found on 4L0.com where it does it for you, but the actual equation. So, I am going to post that and a few other equations that I found on 4Lo.com for easier access. All you will need is your tire and gear info...

My front end has been wobbly and clunky for about 4 months now and I finally got around to replacing those pesky radius arm bushings. Thanks to everyone who has given me pointers along the way. Here is a simplified task list of how we did it: - Purchased two radius arm bushing kits ($11.88...

Probably going to be putting in some new radius arm bushings in the next few weeks, just have a few questions and comments. Thanks in advance for the help. 1) The rivets, do you really have to remove them? Is there a way to just remove the bolt that holds the bushing to the radius arm and...

Ok, so my 4x4 is broken and I need a new starter motor (old one burned out and can't be cleaned like I previously had hoped on). This part would run me like $225 and I am looking for some more options here. I know that when you push the little button on the dash and electric signal is sent to...

Just went out in the snow to pick up some goodies and pushed the 4x4 button and..............NOTHING! No lights, no sounds, no nothing. The 4x4 worked a week ago when we got our last snowstorm and now it won't engage at all. After awhile I could here a small sound coming from the rear, what I...

Brian - VA Beach, VA Brian - VBVA - Virginia Beach and Centreville, VA I just bought a 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, but the Explorer is still in the family... 1993 Ford Explorer XL 145,000 miles and counting ORIGINAL Tranny Removed Front Valence Removed Plastic Underskirts K&N...

To tell you the truth, I wasn't a big fan of the Jetta before, but after today I am kinda excited about the car. The one I drove is a manual diesel, not much acceleration, but it is still a fun car to drive. One thing I could tell about the diesel is how it really lags when it hits 3000 rpm...

My Explorer won't start, but whenever I turn the key over I hear a clicking sound coming from the over near the battery. Now I know this is where the solenoid is located, but could my starter be broken? I just called a shop and they said they thought my starter was burnt out, I don't think...

Yup, she's dead. Went 4 Wheeling all day today and she perform excellently, even started after sitting for an hour in the dorm parking lot. Went out tonight, hung out for 3 hours or so, go back to Ex, turn the key and......nothing! The key turns over, CD player kicks on, interior lights...
