Hi, this is my first subaru(Impreza 1999) and there is two air filters. Why
all this restriction? Is it really necessary? Can i take out one of them?

I'm far from an expert and hope someone has run across this before.
I have a 1989 Forrester with about 140K miles, regularly serviced. I've
noticed this problem starting several years ago but have not been able
to figure it out.

I posted the following in December 2003;
Just had the 90,000 mile check on my 1999 SUS (now called Outback Sedan) and
no problems were found. I bought this car new in August 1998 I change the
oil every 15,000 miles at a jiffy lube or similar quick change. It has been

I bought my 02 WRX used when it was at about 17k miles.  Now it's about 33k
mileage.  What maintence should I do?  Especially since my warranty will be
up soon.

I've decided this time around to go with a VDC Wagon, one of the new 2005's.
Talking to the internet sales rep at our local dealer thou', he says it's
not possible to actually order a Subaru, you just take what comes in on the
boat.

I recently test drove a 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0R LL Bean. I was very
impressed by its response and handling. The interior felt quite
upscale with quality leather seats, dual A/C, CD changer, huge
moonroof. The exterior has pleasing lines and is eye-catching and

Is there some sort of RPM limiter on '02 WRX? What I noticed last
weekend while driving was sudden drop in RPMs after shifting from 4th to
3rd and hitting roughly 7500 RPM. I could even call it an engine stall
as revs dropped sudenly to approx. 5K RPM....It basically happened by

Hi.  I am 6'2" and I am wondering how tall people feel driving the
Forestor for a long time, say 8-10 hours a day on a trip.  It feels
good in the test drive, but often it's the long drives that show if a
car is really comfortable.  Given my height, I often find that many

I have a 95 GT Legacy auto trans that has just started having problems with
the rear diff.  When turning travelling forwards and at any time in
reverse there is a vibration that feels like it is going through the drive
train and a shuddering  sort of feeling.  It feels as though the ...

My 2002 Forest has piston slap below 40 degrees that clears up when
the engine warms.  But in any weather, the engine has what sounds like
a collapsed lifter, most noticable when the engine is cool.  I've
suspected the cam belt tensioner from what I've read here.

I live in Anchorage, AK and recently had relatives from the lower 48 come up
for a visit.  We went down to Seward and had a blast looking at all the
sights.  When parking in one of the local parking lots, I saw what appeared
to be a 2000+ Model OBW with a towbar mounted permanently ...

 I'm new and town and a new Subaru owner (the dream has finally come true).
 Just picked up a 2000 Legacy L Wagon and am looking to do some body mods
to it.
 I have been having zero luck finding anything available on the web. I live

The driver's side power window on my 96 Suburu OBW is all the way down and
won't go back up.  It is still on the tracks.  The other three windows are
fine.  What can I do raise the window back up until I can get it serviced?  I
the meantime its covered with a plastic bag and duct ...

I just bought a new 2004 Forester. One of the papers I signed is a tire
chain disclosure that states in big black capital letters: "As equipped,
this vehicle may not be operated with tire chains but may accommodate
some other type of tire traction device. See the owner's manual for

Hey all...
The nifty "tire track" emblem on the back of my '95 Outback is peeling off.
While I normally wouldn't care about a sticker, I always did like that one
and am sad to see it go.  Anyone ever replaced one of these, know how much
