Found a 2011 WRB sedan in transit to a dealer 2 hours away. Putting down a deposit on it tomorrow morning, should have it late this month. Thanks for the help y'all.

Guy on LGT.com is insisting that a "top" subaru shop is saying his 100psi compression is healthy What 100psi might look like  The one with less material missing is my 100PSI one I think (that's cyl2 right jamal?)

sanchez posted:I have read on NASIOC (yeah yeah) that dealers are unable to order any more 11 WRXes due to the earthquake and will simply stop selling them until the 2012 is available. I ran this by my wife. They are only able to order a Subaru made in America. (Outback, Legacy, and Tribeca) If a customer wants any other model, they have to do a dealer swap to get one, but no dealer will do swaps for the stuff made in Japan anymore. Edit: The Parts shortage, if it happens, won't be for a few months.

The bumper/hood alignment on the corner with the wrong wheel looks like poo poo too, so it's surely been crashed into something which broke the wheel and I wouldn't doubt there's some residual frame/suspension/body damage on that corner too. I'd keep looking.

Might just be the photo but something looks weird on the bumper under the passenger side headlight, which might indicate that they cheaped out on trying to get the body to fit properly and the bumper is now sagging from gravity and vibration. It also looks like they reused the grille part of the front end without repainting any damage done to it properly, so the paint is starting to flake off near where it was originally damaged. You can get way better for $8k.

can I get a sucker check here? I took my 2005 Saabaru wrx in for a 60k mile tuneup (at 70k miles) This is the first time I've taken it to this shop and it's in a convenient location and comes highly recommended for a Subie specialty shop in Portland, OR. The quote was $500 for the tuneup and then they recommended replacing the drive belts for ~$75 and replacing the rear brakepads and turning the rotors is $190... Are these reasonable estimates? Even if they're not it's too late for me to do anything about it now but it'd be good to know how this compares for the next time I need some service work done.

Wait, by drive belts do they mean timing belt? Even though thats not due, $75 is several (or at least a couple) hundred less than the cost of parts for that job.mattmofob posted:Are koni yellows my best option to make my car handle better and the ride more firm, I currently have sti pink springs on stock shocks, and a 20mm rear sway bar, on a 2005 wrx wagon. Also, it has been my experience that subarus don't want the ultra-firm ride all the JDM tyte kids want. That said, Koni makes a good shock. I personally prefer Bilstiens though. Bilstiens at this price range are not externally adjustable though.

looks about right to me. the oem 60 service includes this: oil trans fluid rear diff coolant spark plugs brake fluid flush and air filter and acc belts if necessary, plus an inspection. 500 is fair not including the brake fluid which we offer as an optional extra for $120. I would usually just charge for parts on adding the belts and filter but it seems that they're adding like 20min to the bill on top of parts which is reasonable.

Dropped off my alloy control arms to get the whiteline bushings pressed in. Didn't want to have a moment like Safety Seat Switch did.  Also dropped off the rear diff carrier to get the bushings pressed into the cradle.

I didn't used to be this up tight about my car.

I've got a 2096 CEL code. It's related to the front O2 sensor. I have nearly 100k miles on the car. Should I replace the sensor? I've also heard about cleaning the MAF might help. Any ideas/tips?

My '99 Outback Sport has been paid off for a couple years and I've put basically zero money into maintenance. I bought it in '05 with 100k miles on it. Now it's got 150k miles, it's idling a little rough, and the AC is dead. I took it in to my local shop (that I trust) and told them to look it over from front to back, with an eye toward longevity, even though the car is starting to rust out. Here's what they say: - Recharge the AC: $110 - Tune-up to fix the worn-out plugs and the wire that's shorting out on the block intermittently: $254 - It needs pads, rotors/drums, and cylinders all the way around. Not too surprising; I haven't done anything with the brakes since I've owned it: $550 - They strongly recommend replacing the timing belt. Not a bad idea since I have no idea if it was ever done in the first place: $325 So I'm looking at about $1300 when all is said and done. Is it just me or does that seem excessive, especially the price of the tune-up?

Those seem like great prices to me, especially the $325 timing belt. Brakes are on the high side perhaps but I'm sure it'll be a miserable job for someone.
