I don't really feel like wading into the massive Subaru thread, so I'm going to ask here: Thinking about turning in my boring-rear end Corolla lease a couple of months early, because I found a slightly less boring 2016 Impreza 2.0i Sport with the 5-speed manual in my price range. Are there any issues with these, or are they pretty standard "take care of them and they'll last forever" commuters? It's at about 45K miles.

This definitely used to be a thing, but Subarus used to have fragile manual transmissions. I don't know if it still is a thing, but I remember some goon having a Forester or Outback with 4-5 stickers on it like a flying ace for all of the manual transmissions it had grenaded

lol the Gorestor was definitely putting the transmission through more stress than a NA 2.0 commuter.

Yeah, the Gorester was not in any way a good demonstration of what a stock Subaru would do to transmissions.

The Gorester was a 2.0 from a WRX and a vf39 from an STI... It was probably making somewhere arounf 300 wheel. Deffo not normal.

Gorester! That's the one I didn't know that it had double the power of a stock Forester, that will definitely cause some stress on the drive train I always heard they were fragile, but it could have just been in comparison to Mazda and Honda manuals

It's only been the turbo models that have had gearbox issues and mostly due to either shoving big power through them or being abused, altho the pre 98 turbo gearboxes ARE distinctly weaker. But that's not a factor in the USA given they didnt get the GC8 Adiabatic posted:Yeah it wasnt a good demonstration of any part of a stock Subaru.

Yeah, this will definitely be a stock daily driver/commuter, it wouldn't get anything other than fun wheels most likely. I just need a manual transmission so I can have a LITTLE fun. My project needs are already filled with my E30 that's been collecting dust in my parent's garage until I can move out of my apartment into my own house

Darchangel posted:Sweet! That stuffs pretty good. If Green doesn’t get something clean, I switch to Purple Power or it’s generic equivalents, with the caveat that Purple will also remove paint, and sometimes color, since it is the same stuff as oven cleaner. Sodium hydroxide? I forget. Also darkens aluminum. But it’s killer on grease and a lot of adhesives. Green is much gentler.  Which used to be this  Also Delicas are fuckin' rad as hell.

It wasn't paint, it was some sort of solid rubber mat. It was completely uniform and had folds and ridges in it where it wasn't set completely flat. Some of it could be pulled up easily and some of it had adhered to the top fibers of the carpet. Like when a rubber band gets old and goopy.

One owner, 120k km, 5 speed manual, turbo diesel. Actually very clean in terms of the car actually being in very good shape, just dirty in the "original owners never ever cleaned the inside I don't think also what the hell is this rubber poo poo?" way. I get why people like them so much. In a couple weeks we'll have Toyota's take on full-size 4x4 turbo diesel van, a KZ-equipped HiAce, though in automatic guise and we can see who wins in the BATTLE OF THE VANS.

This isn't really a "before" picture, but I've decided today's the day I'm gonna finally get on top of the mess that is my office. I've been half-rear end trying for a couple months of picking and poking and this is about as clean as it has been in years. Gone are the 4 cases of beer bottles, stacks of pizza boxes, and about a bag of trash. As you can tell, I have a long way to go. I picked up a used filing cabinet today and my goal is have it in the left corner and my desk cleared off by the end of the day. Guess how long it has been since that trash can got used.

The pine bookcase is sitting about 2' off the wall because there's a big pile of crap behind it that I've literally meant to deal with for years... The room's larger than the picture makes it look, just not by much, and the piles of crap aren't helping. Progress!  Next steps are to finish cleaning the area of the rug I can get to atm, then move a filing cabinet into the far left corner, and then start filing the piles of paper on and under my desk.

If you'd clear the poo poo off the top of your trash can, you could more easily throw trash into it rather than onto the floor

Looks much better, open the curtain fully and let the natural light in. In other news I'm up to like 4 consecutive days of having enough sleep at the right time of the day and I feel like a different species. If I make it to 7 and evolve I'll remember you guys when I take over the world.

Yeah, they are. Glad the Simple Green saved the carpets. The promised donation receipt:  This weekend I had opportunity to try my hand at a little basic power carving. We had the dead Catalpa tree in our back yard cut down, and my wife and mother in law decided the cunk that used to be the fork in the tree would make a good planter, so I picked up a "Bad Blade" and one of the chainsaw death wheels. I was only able to use the chain-wheel, because I had a threaded flap wheel on the 4-1/2" grinder, and forgot to grab the nut for the grinder, so could only use the 4". Turned out pretty good. Drilled a bunch of holes in a circle with a 1-1/4" forstner bit, then went to town with the chainsaw wheel.     Made a shitload of very fragrant sawdust, too. Just watch your cord with that blade:  That was just a brief catch. If I mess with this thing too much more I'm buying a leather apron or chainsaw chaps. It could rip your leg to shreds toute de suite. I bundled up the remains of the tree, and when done cutting into smaller chunks than the removal guy left it, wondered whether it would make good firewood:  Turns out Catalpa is a hardwood, though on the soft end, and burns just fine. Buns pretty quickly, but smells nice when doing so, which is fine, since we don't have a fireplace, just a firepit thing:  And then my wife put an idea into my head, so I executed:

So what's up with diesels and California registration? I know there is CARB and it's something like anything after 1974, but is there something else for diesels? I have our turbo diesel Rugger on BaT right now and a few people are asking about registering it in California. I've heard there is something different for registering diesels there. Am I incorrect?

Darchangel posted:What in the gently caress is a garbage bag tag? You have to pay to throw poo poo away? Yep, we don't have a landfill and instead pay to have our garbage trucked across the border to Michigan. It's $2/bag at the drop-off station on the other side of town. Recycling is free, I try to recycle as much as possible, but there's "guidelines" as to what they'll take, so a lot of things you'd consider recyclable are not, while things you wouldn't expect, are. For example, they'll take empty cement bags, but won't take plastic grocery bags. This room smells so different now and I ain't even really halfway there with the cleaning, sure, physically half of the room is clean, but I started on the half not dominated by my desk and bookcase.

I can’t say much. My office is pretty darn cluttered. No trash, though. I can’t stand trash hanging around, particularly since it is so cluttered. My current main goal, and I started on it a couple weeks ago, is to clean out the desk drawers. There’s almost 20 years of accumulated knick knacks, pens, pencils, etc. in there. Next is to go through the file cabinet (4-drawer, full length) and trash anything older than 5 or 7 years depending on the nature of the documents.

Currently have 265/70/16 tires and looking to replace. 285/75/16 are just about $100 more total and 13% bigger. Just eyeballing and asking guys who do this more than me, do you think I’d have an issue with that size?
