Slow is Fast posted:auto or standard climate control Standard I imagine? It's the basic trim package, nothing fancy. I know there are replacement dash faces available on amazon. Edit: wait, by "standard or auto" do you mean just the transmission? If so, it's an automatic trans. DR FRASIER KRANG fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Aug 20, 2015 |

Does the climate control have FAN LOW HIGH and dumb rear end knobs, or is it some space oddity poo poo with numbers where it turns the heat and ac on automatically based upon some retarded number you spin a knob to. If its a standard climate control, just get a face kit and whatever radio you want and slam it in. If it is auto the climate control is intergrated into the radio and you need a special snowflake JDM climate control. You can outsource the job if it's a standard climate control, but some kid making 8 dollars an our is going to use electrical tape and scotch locks and you're better off DIY'ing it. Crutchfield kits usually have good details and they are good about hand holding. You can also post here if you get stuck.

I've been looking for a WRX or STI for a while now and I found an 02 WRX Close enough to check out over the weekend. How does it look? https://toledo.craigslist.org/cto/5158800980.html What should I know about these before i try to buy one?

Sellers lie all of the time. With all of the other mods he's done, I'd guess that it's also been boosted. This isn't too far away: https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/5172889777.html Aside from the hood anyway.

I don't know if you're looking for a specific generation but don't forget Saabarus: https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/5176441613.html Seller didn't post enough pictures or information though.

Dear gently caress, the Subaru dealership and a Subaru specialist guy in Socal have had my 2011 WRX for over 10 weeks now and still haven't figured out why the A/C randomly shuts on and off no matter what it's set on. Holy gently caress Subaru, you are making it really hard to love you. I've gone through 3 motors and more electrical gremlins than I can count on both hands in under 70k Miles, at least Subaru's been covering it generally to this point. Anyone have any ideas? Literally every part of the A/C System (Including the climate control in the dash and other related sensors) have been replaced at this point, to a cost of over 2,000$ total and they've been literally combing the wiring harness wire by wire for over 2 weeks now checking for abnormal voltages.

HEY NONG MAN posted:Standard I imagine? It's the basic trim package, nothing fancy. I know there are replacement dash faces available on amazon. Chances are you do not need to take apart the dash to do this, just the center trims. Most Subarus go something like pull up e-brake boot, unscrew shift knob, pull up shifter ring, unscrew shifter panel & lift off, unscrew radio/hvac face plate and pull out - then just disconnect wires. The rest of the dash stays in place. If you're just replacing the headunit, you'd just put the new hvac/radio panel in with the new head unit and get a proper wiring adapter between it and the original wiring, reverse. I'd estimate like 8-10 screws total and like 4 panels that simply unclip by pulling.

I really like the look and sound of the stock stereo in my 92x, but really would like to have an aux or preferably usb input. Is there any way to add that feature to the stock (6 disc double din) stereo in an '05 92x/02-07 wrx?

It fit into my 06 WRX. Very similar in stocky appearance.

Are there any known trans issues on 3rd gen legacy/2nd gen outback autos? My sister just bought a 2000 or 2001 LL Bean and said it clunks when downshifting from D to 3rd.

I looked into an aux port for my 04 wrx. Looks like the only way requires a blank cd. Which seems like a crappy way to do it to me.

There are two good options available for the contemporary legacy limited but I'm not sure if it's the same head unit as the impreza platform.

My '06 Impreza cruise control light is intermittently turning on and blinking, and it only stops if I shut the car off for a few seconds (basically until the outside temp light shuts off). It doesn't happen on every drive and when it does it seems like it doesn't happen until at least ten minutes into my commute. I haven't noticed it happening before I'm about a quarter tank down after a fill-up, but it's only happened for two or three weeks so far so that might not be a causal factor, just coincidence. I thought it was only happening on starts from standing, but then yesterday it happened when I was in third gear and already moving ... I think. (I can't stare at the Cruise light at all times, could have missed it.) There is no corresponding CEL. There are no other symptoms that I can pinpoint and the car otherwise appears to be acting normally. Thoughts?

Artemis J Brassnuts posted:That would happen on my '07 STI right before the CEL indicating a misfire on cyl 4 (aka cracked ringland). Non-turbo Imprezas don't have that problem, though, right? I'd wait to hear from the more knowledgeable posters, but a compression / leakdown test may be in your future. Guy goes into his doctor complaining of a sprained ankle and you tell him he has terminal cancer?

Maybe I phrased that in a reactionary way, but I'm just saying that's how mine started. If I'd taken it more seriously and had it looked into sooner, I'd still have that car. I assumed that it couldn't POSSIBLY be anything that bad because I bought it new, treated it well, had no mods and only 75k miles on it.

Has anyone taken their Crosstrek in deep soft sand or mud? How did it do? I'm looking for a vehicle that will take me down rough backcountry roads of southern Utah. I called a tow truck driver for the area I wanted to drive in and he said he pulled Subarus out all the time, but I don't know if he was actually familiar with the Crosstrek. I saw an older Outback make it down a very sandy road that is rated for high clearance 4WD, but it was also early in the spring morning when the sand may have been almost frozen. I'm torn between the Jeep Patriot, because I test drove it down that road and it did great, and the Crosstrek.

A New Subaru is not an off road vehicle. It's designed to get your wife to the grocery store and back during an ice storm.

I think it comes down more to the driver. I got my Baja through some things it probably should have gotten stuck in but as long as you keep your momentum up you should be fine (for sand and mud that is, don't expect to rock crawl in a subie), and that was before I did any of my swap stuff to it, so with the original 5spd open front, viscous center, and vlsd in the rear. The auto boxes get a better center diff, and the cross trek has decent ground clearance, as long as you're not being an idiot you should be fine.

http://indefinitelywild.gizmodo.com/how-i-turned-my-subaru-outback-into-a-real-adventuremob-1716068985 Maybe check out the Outback? It's not a truck, the author admits, but with some minor mods you can probably manage? You might be able to do something similar with a crosstrek.

Patriot vs XV, I honestly can't expect there's really a whole lot of difference off road. If you go with the FDII package on the Patriot, it should be better than the XV, but I can't imagine it makes a huge difference. At the end of the day, they're both car based crossovers with AWD, CVT and a 4cyl, so they're going to be similar. It's really tough to tell without taking them both out, I'd say. I did find a post on the Patriot forum with a decent comparison, basically says the same thing: http://www.jeeppatriot.com/forum/showpost.php?p=746010&postcount=3 Edit: Can you get X-Mode on an XV? Doesn't look like it (yet?), but bet that's pretty similar to the software changes you get with the FDII option. Edit 2: If I still have our SG Forester in a few years and it's no longer our primary vehicle, I really want to lift it and put on some decent tires for a bit of mild offroad shenanigans. I love the look of a lifted Forester or Outback. JBark fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Aug 24, 2015 |

FWIW my 03 impreza wagon had little issue off road. Obviously I wasn't doing river crossings etc cause it's an impreza, nothing that counts as 4 wheel driving, but I can't see how the xv wouldn't be better cause it's newer so long as it has low range. The wrx is very fun on dirt roads

The modern subarus generally don't have locking diffs and don't have lsds. So they'll have issues in really sandy stuff. US subarus don't have a low range.

It's time for me to replace the front and rear brake pads and rotors on my 2007 Impreza 2.5i. Is there any reason I shouldn't go with OEM parts? I'm just a casual driver.

Yes, OEM costs more than some of the decent aftermarket options. Centric rotors and stoptech pads are my go-to. I can usually get close to amazon pricing unless you have prime. rotors+pads comes to something like 275 plus or minus a few depending on where you live.

Can one of you fine chaps take a picture of the underside of a 2008+ impreza center console armrest? My armrest has that little pop-up thingy to make it taller or shorter, and the PO did some fuckery with torx screws instead of using the machine screws and nuts that are in there. I'm just curious what kind of head the fasteners have.

My Outback is making a ticking sound on sharp left hand turns. Textbook CV axle symptoms. However, I was inspecting them today while I was down there installing my 2.25" spacer lift kit and they both look fine. CV boots are solid, no excessive axle play. I didn't poke around too much for flung grease, though. Should I just continue to ignore them for the time being, should I replace both, or should I try and narrow down which axle is dying?
